T. w. White, respectfully informs the
patrons of the "ISouthern Literary Mes
sengcr," and the public generally, tina!
the issue of the next No. Of that periodi-
cal is necessarily delayed beyond the usu.
al time Of publication. The recent holi-
days, and damage which has occurred
to the press on which the Messenger is
struck off, have retarded the business of
his oflic lie would further mention, that
the publishing Of an important essay upon
the p" Rights of the S!ave-holding States,
and the owners of slave property, under
the Constitution of the United States"
from the pen of Conway Robinson, Esq,
Of this city, has also postponed the APP
pearance Of the Messenger. He believes,
however, that the value and interest of
this paper will fully atone for the delay.
Being anxious TO present the whole essay
at the same time to the public, and aware
that ihc issue Of his periodical would be
late for the month of January, he has con-
cluded 10 publish the January and Febru-
ary numbers Together. lis patrons will,
therefore, receive double aGm5er, or
the numbers for two months under one CO.
vcr. The publisher 1alterS himself, that
both in Typographical and lterary excel
lence, the two coming numbers will equal,
if no; exceed, any that he has ever given
10 the public. Besides the important es-
say already mentioned, and wlioh possess
es such peculiar interest at the present
time, they will contain notice of the re-
cent attack upon Or. Claiming in the
EGinburg Review, from the pen of Bal
timorean. A second paper upon the
Institute. San Marino, from
the pen of II. 7. Tuc!:crm7n, Esq The
Worthless of Virginia; G!caniugs from
History; Rights Of Authors;
Moral and Mental Portraits, No. L., be-
ing notice of William Cullen Bryant;

This paper has heretofore been an able de-
fender Of Wing principles and an industrious
and vigiIent opposer of the Ruin Party which
sustains the office-holders of the ruling dy-
nasty. And we are surprised to see its course
in relation to the wing candidate for the
Presidency, if we properly understand him.
lie intimates that he is unwilling to sustain
Harrison for the Presidency because he pre-
ferred Mr.. CIays but he does not tell us what
he is going to do We hope that second
thought will bring the Wing into the con-
test, and his aid in warning against the fac
ton which threatens the peace and stability
of our country and her institutions.

Notwithstanding the manifold sutferngs
of our devoted City, it seems we are not to
be deprived of amusement if we are of other
necessaries. We understand our old and
esteemed friend JOHN HAMILTON, is about to
treat our citizens to something in the theat-
rical line. Mr.. H. is well known in this
communicated, we may say, throughout
the greater part of Mississippi--as good
actor and a gentleman, and any thing UNI
dertaken by him may be relied on as carried
through. Something of the kind we have
no doubt would ''go off, we'll at present, and
secure to the undertaken sufficient compen-
sation for his pains in essaying TO please
We are fond of good acting, and no one is
more willing to patronize such an enterprise
than ourselves. We have often been so
charmed and enchained as it were, at the
personiication of good dramatic characters,
that we have almost been led to exclaim in
she language ofthe immortal bard of Avon'
1'Oh for s muse of fire that would ascend
The brightest heaven Of invention,
A kingden for astage-princes to act,
And naonarchs TO behold the swelling
scene

ance to prohibit the removal from Natchez
into their town, of such goods as were sup
posed to be dangerous to health, and per-
haps one or two persons were fined under the
ordinance. This is the whole of the tire :
mendous "snarl." A retort of any kind by
Natchez, shot dispute" or any other kind
of edispute'' was never dreamed of or
thought of in Mississippi. We happen to
know all the particulars, little and unimpor-
tant as they certainly were, of this "war,"
and assure you that the first suggestion Of
difficulty upon the subject we see in your

Correspondence of Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL, 1889,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..
The question pending at the adjournment
Yesterday was on Mr.. CampbelPs motion to
reconsider the second branch of the resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Rhett of South Carolina,
and adopted bv the meeting. After the
journal was read. Mr.. Campbell withdrew
his motion. because that the reconsideration
of the first part of the resolution had been
refused.
The chair then announced that it was
time to proceed to the execution of Ear. RS
resolution, and in compliance with his direc-
ton the Clerk proceeded 10 call the roll of
members. He omitted, of course, the five
members from New Jersey-but called the
name ofNaylor, of Penn.
When the roll was finished, Mr.. Randolph
of New-Jersey, whose seat is not contested,
rose and said he had paper in reference
to the claims of his colleagues, which he
wished 10 read for the benefit of the House.
This produced an immense futtering among
the Van Burenites. Several obiected-Mr
Vanderpoel called upon Mr.. Randolph to
state the substance of the paper. Mr. r.
replied that he would read it himself. as the
shortest way of giving an account of lis con-
tents.
MIR. Smith of Maine objected to that also
Dir. Wise reminded the Van Rurenites thai
they had allowed one of their own men. (Air
Duncan to read paper after paper. Loud
cries of aRead!'' $50 on!o resounded If
every part of the Hail. Mr.. Vanderpoe
said, sWell, Jet it be read!'' and the train
bands catching the word from their leader
acquiesced.

--latest from Washington.

We have the National Intelligencer and
Baltimore patriot of Saturday, the 18th inst,
containing the doings of the House of Rep
regentatives up to Friday night. On Friday
Mr.. Wise offered resolution, declaring that
the credentials Of the Wing members from
New JERSEY were sufficient to entitle them
to take their seats in the honse-leaVlng
the question of contested election to be de-
cided afterwards by the House--and vote
for Speaker. After some warm discussion
the question upon this resolution was taken
i.y Ayes and Nays, and decided as follows:
AYES Il7-Nays III. So the resolution
was rejected. Two Wing members absent.
Mr.. Halves of Kentucky, confined to his
room by sickness; and Mr.. Kempshall OF
New-York not arrived. Had they been
present the Wing majority would have been
sufficient to have admitted the New Jersey
members. MIR, Charles Shepherd OF North
Carolina. and Mr.. Rhett of South Carolina
voted with the Wings, and Mr.. Wick of In
diana, and Mr.. Fisher of North Carolina with
the spoilsmen.

Q.
On Jordon's stormy banks stand
And cast a wishful eye,-
What do Northern funds command,
A check l0ish 10 bug?
To Canaan's far and happy land
Where my possessions lie,-
have no Northern funds on hand;
Exchange is VeTy high.
Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green,-
The Union notes are Very good,
Commercial are the same.
So to the Jews Old Canaan stood
While Jordon rolled between--
Although they mag be gerry good,
I'm AFRAID THEY WILL DECLINE.
There is land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign
I'd like a draft at one days sight,
And eUen bug at ten.
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures Danish pain
The money markets so id tight
A check you can't obtain.
