of him. Col. BINeAmAN and Chancellor
TURNER have not yet entered the field, so far
as our knowledge extends; but we hope soon
to hear from them. The two latter gentlemen
are expected, by their friends in I.owndes
county, to make visit TO this section of the
State, on their intended excursion to the north

be splitting and quarreling among themselves,

The political atmosphere grows hot.
The Vanocrats win be divided next fall.
The Wings of this county are warm and
enthusiastic. A popular ticket will be
formed IN Yalabusha, and the battle viii
be manfully contested on both sioes.

Tallahatchie counties, by the Vanocrats.
The Wings are confident of his defeat,

In Holmes county cur friends are active.
There is a squalIy sky before McNutt,
Brown and Thompson. If you see Col.
Bingaman, tell him he must take the field
in North Mississippi. His friends ex.

The CRoPs.-We are sorry to observe
that the louise is very active in destroying cot
ton this spring. In this section of the State,
however, their ravages have not bean great
and we have heard but few of ouz planters
make any complaint. The following extract
of letter from Washington County, which
we take from the Natchez Courier. evidences
that much harm has been done by the insect,
in other parts of the State. We understand
that the lice on cotton does the most injury in
hot. dry weather but when the sap of the
plant circuIates freely, as It does during warm
weather and frequent showers, it outgrows the
injury produced BY their ravages. If any Of
our intelligent planters know of any preyen-
tative, or cure for the mischief Of these little
desperadoes, we viii cheerfully lend our col
umns for the dissemination of the informa-
ton.
