Those who had gone deeply into real estate
lspecnlatioBs and extended their credit too
1 fir. have BECOME more circumspeci and
are slowly winding up their concerns the
hest way they can. The Blnks are wide
awake--they are doing the best they can
IN correct rotten sy TEN and make up for
la digfaceiul nbnuse of their charters and
prialeges. The Canal Bunk has been
1 releeming its notes since Thursday last in
specie others are going TO do something,
but things are kept in such secrecy that it
is aly1sl laQaafPSssibffe- to haer any thing Of
fEe3 Intentions, further than that they are
Peeparng to be little more honest than
they formerly have been. Things are
evidently in a better condition-specie has
FALLEN TO 8 or 10 cents premium. We look
for fresh impulse to trade in the fall--a
brighter sky seems TO be dawing in the
perspective on every department oftrade.

We would advise the undergraduate OF
the Grand Gulf Advertiser when he wishes
to be witty, to change his location; the at
posPhere of Mississippi is not genial to his
dtSsqse, as the ex-ediier of the GaIIatin De-
mocrat can testify--having learned thus
much from sad experience, more inexora-
hle master than Henry Vose ever was in
his most crusty mood. Few men are wits
by nature--fewcr still have acquired that
quality by art, rs certain editor can prove,
"who wrote himself down an ass" After
having expended all his stores Of logic, rhet
ORIG, and "Cuffy" knowledge in proving a
goose was not a foel, he ncgatived the
question under nineteen different heads, and
finally threw up the task as one beyond his
comprehension, and involving so many
metaphysical subiIeties as to battle his most
profound researches. From this he took to
writing letters from Wash ngton, and snake
stories 10 amIse the old women in Copiah
and tickle the flnres of the young brood
who had not yet loft the parental wing.
No man should repudiate his vocation, until
he finds one better suited to his talents. In
the spirit Of charity then, VIC advise our cou-
sin of the quill to betake him to his gopher
hills. 1t would be a burning shame to
waste your talents in the vile swamps of
when, like star at noon day,
you could shine upon magnificent pine
groves that tower in the east, in all their
native majesty, AMI with solemn grandeur
rear their giant heads over the pigmy race
that sicken and die beneath their shadow
''Who would not rather herd with wolves
aud be their king" ;han ape the manners of
The great, doomed at distance to mark
their rise, and know that on his career no
pomp or honors wall! or play the obscure
iriveller to an unhoIy cause? Back, then,
10 your old vocation. Letter writing is now
N easy task, no since the days of MAJOR
Downing and the Spy in Washington, it has
'een reduced to mere physF effort,
which those may perform who can use
ZEN; and as for snake stories, why any man
Who has ever travelled through a Misss-
ippi swamp, can tell of "hair breadth
scapea" and mortal encounters with the
limy race, that would fill a volume. Then
Jack to your trade.--Wt is a dangerous
Dol in the hands of the inexperienced
Z cuts both friend and foe, and requires
| sklliul hand TO use it with discretion.
