MAP OF MISSISSIPPI.

PROPOSALS. for publishing Splen-
did Map of the State Of Mississippi,
together with a portion of the adjoining
States, to be laid off in Sections, on the plan
adopted by the General Government, in
surveying the public lands. BY John La
Tomrette, Southern Mdp-Hnter An ac-
curate Map of the State of Mississippi, in
Guiding the territory lately acquired from
The Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. The
Map extends from the Atchafalaya river
in Louisiana, to die east ofthe Mobile bay
(including the two cities Of Mobile and
New Orleans, and showing the connection
between them. )--from thence north to the
state Of Tennessee, (including about eight
counties Of the state of Alabama, )--thence
west, so as to- embrace the south east corner
of the state Of Arkansas. From thence
south to the Atchalalaya river. Then we
have the great Mississippi river, called
"the father of waters" from its several
mouths, (or the Balze) with all lis mean
ders to The $50 ~ lat The size of the
map is go by rs inches, and contains up
wardsof 30 square feet.
For the purpose of making this map cor
rect the publisher has taken exact copies Of
all the township maps (made by the United
States surveyors, from which the lands are
sod,) at the different land offices. II is pro-
iected on scale of one inch to the congress
sional township, which is divided into Sc
sections or square miles. The Spanish
grants and old shaped sections, and also
the long narrow strips of land on the Mis-
sissippi rivers and bayous, in Louisiana,
are shown on the map. 1t is so arranged
that person can point TO the tract on
which he lives. The counties are put in
their proper forms. The land districts are
shown on the map. Each town and post
office on its right quarter section, with the
name annexed. The water courses are
laid down correctly, and the miles (by wa
ter) marked on the principal ones, so that
each person can see how far be IS from
market. The principal roads are marked
through the sections with as much accuracy
as practicable, with the distance in miles,
between the towns or places of note. Ma
ny of the roads were measured by the pub
Usher himself, who has constructed and
made a machine for the express purpose Of
asceriaining the distance that he travels, SO
as to mark it correctly on the map. The
margins of the map are to contain suitable
statisticaltables.
N. B. The engraving Of the map is near
" finished, and will be ready for delivery
IN about two or three months from this
time.

MISSISSIPPI MONEY.

The loco toco press Of this State has done
much to dePreciate the bank paper of Ms
s.ssippi. II is usual for those prints TO in
dulge in long strain Of abuse againts spa
per mony," "irredeemable paper promises, .
&c, without attempting to show, by argu-
ment or reason, any substantial grounds for
their better hostility to banks and banking
operation. Those prints, at a time when
our people are largely indebted to foreign
merchants, are continually enormous issues
of Mississippi banks, and expressing oracu-
lar fears that their notes can never be re-
deemed. To read and 6elicce those nonsen-
seal eHuslons, stranger would naturally
infer that every bank in this state was rotton
to the very core, and that they had degener-
ated into mere shaving shops for swndling
the community. But why do not those edi-
tors publish detailed statements ofthe affairs
of the institutions they abuse, in order that
people may judge for themselves whether
they be good or whether they be insolvent?
The fact is, theirslly denunciation are mere
Stvf--the mere effervescence of loco foco
devotion-the senseless rawlings of golden
maniacs. The banks of Mississippi are
equally as solvent as any in the Union.--
They will faithfully redeem with specie
every dollar which they have in circulation
and the time will come when they will re-
gain that general confidence of which they
have been robbed by the loco focos. The
people Of Mississippi will no doubt be thank
fal to the loco focos for having subjected
them to loss offrom 25 to so per cent. up
on their money. They will fully appreciate
the reckless course of newspapers which
endeavor, at time when the community is
involved in startling pecuniary embarrlss-
ments, TO ad dto their disresses, and prevent
northern people from receiving the notes Of
our banks.--SoHthern Sun.

TNHE public are hereby cautioned against

by William Beatty, Of Port Gibson, in favor
of Josiah Stone, viz: One Note for $3.50
55-l00, due the first of Janurv, 1899 the
other Note is for S4,3S9 55-l00, and is due
the first of January, 1910. These notes
were endorsed by Josiah Stone to his bro
Their Francis Stone for the purpose of col
lection, and to settle certain debts that he
was owing in this State. At the time
Francis Stone left this State to 90 to Virgil
