WHIG MEETING.

WING MEETING.
A Meeting of the Wings Of Jefferson
County will be held at Fayette on the fourth
Monday in April, (nst.) for the purpose Of
nominating candidates to be run on the
Wing ticket at the next fall election. 1t is
very desirable that the meeting be as full as
possible, and we hope the Wings in every
part of the County will make it their busi-
ness to be present on that occasion.
Rodney Cotton Press.-Some of our citi-
zens, seem TO be getting in earnest about
the erection of our Steam Cotton Press. A
subscription for this purpose was started
day or two since, which we understand now
amounts to about $4,000. Let our rich
planters come forward and subscribe 81 900
more, and by the coming fall they can have
their Cotton compressed here, and thence
shipped directly to market-to the great
saving of cost of freight, drayage, storage,
reshipment, hookage, and sundry commits
sions stoo tedious to mention.''

Persons having Post Notes of the Com
mercial Bank of Rodney, dated prior to Isl
inst. will confer on the community, a large,
by returning them to the Bank andsgetting
them exchanged for others. Persons are
going over the country to buy themu up, with
the view Of altering them to much larger
amounts. A special deposite of two of the |
gang engaged in this business has been
made in tho Port Gibson Jail. 1t is hoped
that the others will soon be ferretted out
by the Bank and have afforded to them the
like accommodations. Look out for them
We invite full attendance of our citizens

We take great pleasure in laying before q
our readers the following original commune !
cation from Ensign Johnson, Of Company &
A. If the Ensign should persevere, we n
think he is in fair way to gain more noto-
Tiety as writer than as military com 6.
mander. He is certainly highly blessed in
the extraordinary retention of all his mental +
faculties, s'though in green old age" :,
