Accounts from Northern Mississippi represent
the prospects of the next cotton crop as very poor,
the negroes being unwilling to go to work or to

however, are cheerful, and will do their utmost to

The Houston (Term) Telegraph says that there is
hardly any complaint against the proceedings of the
military officer* in the State, or interference with
or opposition to the civil appointments of Governor
Hamilton, whose administration of affairs is giving
universal satisfaction.
