This splendid new steamer arrived at this
place few days since, commanded by Capt.
VIZ. A. WILSON, whose character as a gen.
tleman and commander is SO well known TO
the citizens Of this place, and those residing
on the banks of the YazOO, that we hardly
deem it necessary for US to say anything re-
laiive to his capacity as commander; but
will merely mention. that he has been in the
YazcO trade for a number of years, and du-
ring al of this time has given general salts
faction to his passengers and those who have
given him freight; aud we sincerely hope
that he may receive that patronage which his
ability and genllemanly department entitle
him to. We freely accept the invitation oil
Capt. Wilson, TO call on board and partake
Of few drops Of his best.

Summer, with ils brilliantgayety Of flowers
and its dark green toliage Of the forest, hath
glided from our view like the slow movement
of magnificent panorama, and in succession
We have presented to our admiring and en-
rapthred eye the soft, exquisitely various
tinted painting-the picture Of Fall! The
brightness of the sun falls softly on the earth,
as if encouraging the weary soil to its needed
repose Of winter, ere it rises giant-like and
again sends forth the thousand products o.
a future year. The silver-edged clouds lie
listlessly here and there, without scarce {
change on their front-seemingly content Il
enjoy the apathy Of Fall ere they shall b
hurried to and fro amid the storms anC
whirlwinds of the winter. The woods, near
y stripped of their foliage, are still enabled
to present to us the innumerable -tints 0
Nature mid decay, and appear most beauti
full in their coming dreariness. The note
OF. the feathered tribe less frequently fall upOl
the ear--but then there is a plaintive sweet
ness in their songs now, which they posses
not amid the brilliancy of summer. Fac
season is beautiful painting Of itself-eaC
season calls upon US to
s'LOOk thro' Nature up to Natures God"

Il has long been a subject Of remark, that
the citizens Of this town have, with all their
liberal enterprise, never built respectable
House Of Worship. True, the brethren Of
the Methodist denomination have procured
building for the purposes of worship, but
still il 10 not one very well suited to the COM
forts Of an audience Though it is the best
that could have been had at the time. A
proposition is now on foot to build for the
PresbyteriAns Brick Church, and we learn
. lot Of ground has been literally rendered
for that purpose BY one Of our citizensi a
subscription is now being handed round for
contributions. Though no sectarian our
selves, We hope the laudable design may sue
coed. No man, moral, upright, and religious,
whether he be Of the one persuasion or the
other, would withhold his mite when solicit
ed for so valuable design.
We are all Christians, all believe in the i'm
POrtance of attending worship, and if we
cannot attend q Church of our own creed,
let us attend and hear the word Of God from
one who follows the same meek and lOwly
Savior whom we profess to adore. Let US aid
the Presbyterians in building their Church :
let as aid the MethOdists in building theirs
the Babtists or EPiscOpalians also shall have
aid from Us when solicited; but let none
withhold their aid on the ground Of their
being Of this denomination or that.
Our welfare here, and hereafter, it has been
said, is all that should engage the attention
Of wise man. We know, in making this
appeal, that We address ourselves to Chris.
HSHs, who acknowledge their accountability
to Him who is the searcher Of human hearts
and we doubt not that the calf made by the
PrsSbyterians will be responded to literally
by our citizens.

Them sweet Potatoes.

Our friend Major Phillips, of this county.
sent US, few days since, two mammoth
sweet potatoes, one Of them weighing eight
pounds and quarter, and measuring seven
seen inches in length and thirteen in circum-
fsrence; and the other weighed six pounds,
and measured twenty-One inches in length
and nine in circumference. These, we
believe, are the largest potatoes we have ever
seen or heard of, and believe they cannot be
beat in point Of size and taste.

Business at Court prevented Us from nOti-
cling this fine steamboat, as a regular packet
between this city and Vicksburg, commanded
by our esteemed friend, Capt. YOUNG, who is
well and favOrably known to our Citizens
He is a good commander, and from his gen.
tlemanly department, renders his passengers
comfortable, and their passage on his boat
pleasant and agreeable. By reference to our
advertising columns, it will be seen that per-
sons wishing to visit New Orleans, and who
will take the VOLANT, will meet the New
Orleans packet boats at Vicksburg, and have
time to transact any business in that city be-
fore the packets leave. This is certainly an
inducement to persons to take Capt. YOung''
