GENERAL HARRISON:
tie two armies,

We have noticed, with regret, that at
temps arc making to get up, In this state,
ii ticket for this candidate for the presidency.
We are not disposed to speak harshly Of an
individual who has done much far the coun-
try in her Legislative halls, and on her ba.
tie fields. We would rather see him eIe-
vatcd to the first Office in the gift of the peo-
pie, than many of ,ne asprants to that dis
tingushed station. Bat he is not oar first
choice, nor is be the choice Of the people Of
Mississippi, They have, with great una
nmity, agreed upon the candidate of their
chocc-ono in whom they have every con-
fdenco--one in whose integrity and patriot
ism they can rely, and whose principles
and interests are identified with their own.
Let them, then, give him an united and IA
cordial support. Let those who would de-
feat the nominee of Dr. Ruckcr and the
Baltimore Convention give no counten1ncc
to attempts at producing division in their
ranks. Let them agree upon an electoral
ticket, pledged to the candidate of the peo-
pie, and let them maintain thatticket atthe
polls, with undivided zeal and energy
Our opponents are united. The supporters
of the New York candidate are battling in
solid phalanx--Iike Ccsar's cohorts, shoulder
to shoulder. five would triumph, we must
act with the same unanimity.
We publish, to-day, an electoral ticket,
which was proposed sometime since, and
which, we believe, has Civen universal sat
isfaction Let every WHITE paper in the
state, which has not already done SO, at once
place this ticket at the head of their columns,
and let US go for our ticket, our whole ticket
and nothing hut our ticket.

FUNERAL GRAFTON.

The following appropriate funeral Ora
tion was delivered by Gen. Rnsk over the
remains of the victims of Mexican troachery
at La Bahia. We extract the attending cir.
cumstances from the Official Report
m Christian Herald.
On our arrival at this place, we found no
difficulty in discovering the ground where
Tanning and his gallant band were shot, by
order Of Santa Anna
Most of their bodies were burned, yet
there were bones, and some entire skeletons
scattered over the plains for some distance.
1t had long been determined that, as soon as
practicable, after the arrival of our army
here, their remains should be collected, and
a day set apart for their burial with all the
honors of war.
The following morning being Friday,
June 3, the army were paraded within the
walls Of the fort at the hour appointed; and
at nine o'clock, with arms reversed, the pro
ccssion moved slowly to the place Of burial
On reaching the grave, Gen, Rash de-
liyercd short, but feeling and eloquent ad-
dress:

We have forborne to allude to this slngu-
lar document, from the belief that its in
trinsic enormity, and the unparalleled te-
mority which prompted its publication would
be sufficient to stamp upon its face the seal
of public reprobation.
At first, we considered it bait thrown
out to gull the credulous, and to influence
the coming elections, by re-starting the ma
