The above is from the Vicksburg Senti-

the companion of our schoolboy days. In all
the actions of his life, he has ever been hon
est, firm and patriotic. He has ever been
esteemed for his virtue and integrity, and by
those who knew him as we did, his loss is
sincerely lamented. That man who could
endite the above vulgar andinhuman notice
of the dead, deserves nought but the scorr
and contempt of the living.

As the Cotton season IN this city is about

this Circular; in which | shall refer to some
abuses, which seem to have crept into the
Cotton trade, as il is now conducted here.
They are:

arbitrarily the price to each man lot. In4his
operation, don't care how honest a factor
may be, his Judgments SO directly operated
on By bis Interest, that it IS scarcely IN hui
man nature TO render strict justice 10 his
classification. One man sh4ps him one
thousand bales Of cotton, and an probably
influence three times as much to him. He
never plagues him for advances Of money.
and IS altogether aproftabl ecustomer. Ma.
ny of his other customers mike small cyons

way ct asking advances, and are ccrtainlv
not desirable customers as he who makes
and controls the large crop. Ii follows. al
most as q necessary consequence, that the
large planters crop will be put up 81 the
highest possible price, while the Others viii
be put At the lowest. Great ini,lsf;ea baa

Our TOWN.

AT the present time our town is as dull as
it well can be, which is easily accounted for,
from the fact that the months that bear the
cognomen of the 'sickly season. have set
inupon us. Those who can afford to seek
pleasure and health during the summer
months, at the different places of fashionable
resort, have already departed thither or are
preparing to bid adieu to the fog and miasma
Of the Southern swamps. Truly, the indi-
Yiduals whose lot it is TO drag out the season
here, attending to the sick and burying the
dead, deserve during the winter. more sub
tantal remuneration than mere thanks from
their fellow citizens. But such is not the
case, for we have seen those that make but
a winters residence of our town, and that
exclusively fer the sake of lucre, patronized
most extensively when our home. merchants
have been the subjects Of neglect. Such
should not be the case. The money brought
into our market during the bushes season
is, by these means carefully boarded by non
residents to be lavishly expended in other
9las0q' ASO WOHuS4s shSh1 WA0A ~ ssu'e
into consideration, that the same course is
pursued in nearly every city and town
throughout the State, that MONEY is a rare
commodity among the citizens of Mississippi.
AS yet we have had no ceases of fever-the
river is gradually falling, and.we entertain
every hope that the hand Of Death will not
be waved over the valley Of the Yazoo with
the violence Of last summer.

Bankrupt Law Anticipated. .

There is but little hope that Congress at
any early day, will carry out that provision
of the Constitution, which requires that
body to establish an uniform system of Bank
ruptcies. Many of the States have antici-
pated the action of Congress upon this all
important and humane measure. We notice
Bill now before the New York Legislature
which is intended to operate in the absence
of any action on the part of the General
Government. The bill provides, 'sthat upon
the surrender Of all the effects Of the bank
rupt to his creditors; all his subsequent earn.
ings shall be free from sale under execution
at the suit Of any Of said credtOrs.''
There can be no doubt of the constitu.
tionality of such measure, as laws exist il
all the States to some extent, exemptins
from sale portion of the debtors effects IN
der execution; and in Mississippi the Law
has always provided for insolvens debtors
by exempting certain articles from seizure
by the Sheriff.
If no such. law as that for the relief 0
honest debtors is passed at the special ses
sion of Congress, ought not our Legislature
to do something for the relief of the hun
dreds of honest, unfortunate Individual
now resident in this State; but who, if no
released, will be compelled to exile them
selves to avoid the opportunities of credi
tors! We shall refer TO this subject again.
