former precedent. Property lie sold daily in
our streets for one fourth its value. Men give
up all they possess to satisfy their creditors,
see their property knocked down under the
hammer of the sheriff or the marshal at one
fourth or less of its value, and find themselves
beggars, SO far as present waEt Of means can
make them so, and still hopeIessly involved
We car mention case that has come to our
knowledge, which will illustrate the truth Of
what we have said more forcibly than language
can. A portion of a stock Of goods was sold
last week to satisfy an execution from the
Federal Court-,he goods cost in New York
$4,000, independent of freight, charges inspr.
ance &C., they were al new, seasonable and
well selected, and when sold brought cnly
S2,s00, OF much less than half of the original
cost. Scenes such as this are daily exhibited.
A gentleman informs us that lot of ground
in this CITY which one year ago brought $1,000,
was sold last week for less than sve hundred
dollars.
And yet horrible as affairs are becoming
here they are comparatively triffllng to what
we hear from Yazoo, Holmes, Hnds, &c. We
are informed that land and negroes are selling
under execution for fifth of their real value.
Negroes, first rate hands that will generally
command 1000 dollars, have sold for less than
two hundred, while some of the best planta-
tionS in the State are being sacrificed for one
ten.', of their value When or where thIs,s to
stop G3d only knows. When, or from whence
relief to come we know not, but unless relief
does come and come speedily, this country will
present Scene of wide spread ruin and DESC
lation, such as has never been witnessed be-
fore. The prospect is absolutely frightful to
contemplato-wc arc told that there are some
plantations in Yazoo, the owners of which
have made every arrangement for planting,
who within few days past have had their
slaves driven off by the sheriff, and sold at
enormous sacrifices. and who in consequence
will not be able to raise single bale Of cotton
this year. Already we hear Of resistance to
the execution of the laws sp ken of in shat
country, and should judgement be rendered at
the May Court upon half of the su Is brought,
there is no telling what people, with rum and
beggary staring them in the face, may not be
driven to.

From the Southern Miss Argus, April 9.

The Timas.--The following, which we copy
from the Vck>hurg Wing, we feel convinced
is not an over drawn picture. The experience
Of every day in Lowndes county teaches US,
sadly indeed, that the citizens OF this section
Of the State are but little better OF than their
neirhbors in the west.-Which ever way we
turn our eyes for relief, nothing but dark and
murky clouds present themselves. We feel
che pressure in this quarter severely now, but
the worst is to come, for the banks whose notes
are now runously under par, are drawing IN
their circulation as rapidly as POSSIBLE, and
ceased long ago from discounting or making
issues, and soon we shall &c without even a
bad currency, unless individuals hna 1t to the'F
;n,eres, again to curse the land with their ir-
redeemable and worthless SHIN plasters. Our
only hope of relief is in the Union Bank, which,
if it issues post notes literally and discounts
impartially, will save many an honest and enc
terprislng citizen from ruin.

MISSISSIPPI.

The state OF affairs in Ms ssippi is any thing
but fattering. The greatest distress seems to
preyail. The newspapers TEEN 10 overtowIng
with leral advertisements We hear daily of
the sacrifice of property, and credit Is thing
which IS sometimes talke OF but hardly expec-
ted, much less known.
Il will be remembered that prior to the COM
mencement of the great breaking up, as the
dark day has been designated. the planters and
merchants of Mississippi became largely IN
deb;ed to New-Oreans. Since that perlor,
when cur mere antile eommu' ity became salts.
fed that they had been unfairly dealt with by
some of the Mississ;ppians, who drew upon
more than one house 70. advances on the same
nroductions Of the season, which were to be
delvered. about ten thousand suits have been
instituted, and judgements obtained. When
collections were attempted to be made, by the
nroper officer, the executions were stayed by
what are termed ''forth coming bonds, CIV
;np additional security for the payment against
= future date. The time for payment has come
around, and We understand that declaration
Of resistance has been made threatening the
officer who may attempt TO enforce the obll-
cations. Besides our merchants are to suffer
another delay, as it is sad the bonds given
we're informal, anu have to be taken anew.
Some estimate may be placed on the situa-
ton of things in Mississippi from the tact, that
on singe.ofering day, upwards Of 5000 notes
were rendered the Union Bank for discount,
amounting in the aggregate to abou. Sl5, ,0Oo,-
600. Great distress must prevail, and the
wo.s. NAV not yet have come. 1t is bitter
thing to wake up from the dream ofexhaustless
wealth to the reality of embarrassment and a
future poverty and labor. Such we fear has
been the fate of many, ard we trust that their
backs may be strengthened to the burthen.
