The idiot and the Beauty.-From review
in Talts Magazine, of Mr. Combe's Notes on
the United States, we quote an interesting pas
sage descriptive of the quickening effects pro-
duced on an idiots mind by his habits Of daily
intercourse with beautiful young girl-Moore
would turn this anecdote TO admirable account
IN a poem sin the course of conversation, a
case was mentioned 10 me as having occurred in
the experience of highly respectable physician,
and which was so fully authenticated that en-
terrain no doubt of its truth.-The physician al
ludedto had patient, young man, who was
almost idlotic from the suppression of all his ia
culties. He never spoke and never moved vo-
unfairly, but sat habitually with his hand sha-
ding his eyes. The physician sent him TO walk
as a remedial measure. In the neighborhood a
beautiful young girl of sixteen lived with her pa
rents, and used 10 see the young man in his
walks, and speak kindly to him. For some time
he took no notice of her, but after meeting her
for several months, he began TO look for her,
and 10 feel disappointed if she did not appear
He became so much interested that he directed
his steps voluntarily 10 her fathers cottage, and
gave her bouquets of flowers. By degrees he
conversed with her through the window His
mental faculties were aroused the dawn of con-
valescence appeared. The girl was virtuous,
int elligent and lovely, and encouraged his visits
when she was told that she was benefiting his
mental health. She asked him if he could read
and write. He answered no. She wrote some
lines 10 him TO induce him TO earn.-Ths had
the desired effect He applied himself to study,
and soon wrote good and sensible letters to her.
He recovered his reason. She was married to
young man from the neighborng city.-Great
fears were entertained that this event would I'M
do the good which she had accomplished The
young patient sustained severe shock but his
mind did not sink under it. He acquiesced in
the propriety of her choice continued TO i'm
prove, and, at last, was restored TO his family,
cured. She had child, and was soon after
brought to the same hospital perfectly insane
The young man heard Of this event, and was
very anxious to see her; but an interview was
denied him, both on her account and his own
She died. He continued well, and became an
active member of society. What beautiful ro-
nance might be founded on this narrative!

The Question Abandoned.

COL Bingaman in his speech a: Benton the
other day, stated that i: had been roundly
asserted that Judge Shattuck had abandoned
the question. The abandonment of the ques-
ton by the wings and bond paying demo-
Gratis consists in this, that they will not stag
The people" No, no, the rascaIly bond payers
will not tar the people and therefore they are
not in favor of paying the bonds! That is
reasoning with a vengeance. The rabld
portion of the locofoco leaders of the demo-
cratic party cry NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.! And
when the bond paying party say there is no
necessity of taxation; ali, but, say they, you
must go for burdensome taxation in order to
give us something to quarrel with you about.
The cloven foot of the anti bonders is plainl!
seen, and their mushroom party is fast fall
ling to pieces. The Constitution and the
laws and the honor and the good name OF
Mississippi will be preserved by her people,
anti bonders, disorganisers and revolutionlsts
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

doctrine Of Anti Bondsm. buthis remarks on
the Supplement- and his having first came
ont in Madison as TIE Anti Bond candidate
his being present at the time DR.. Montgom-
cry consented to become his opponent-and
other circumstances, justify us in noticing
him in our columns as the candidate OF the
Anti Bond paying party. Concluding his
speech here, the Major remarked, he chad as
soon DO beaten by DR.. Montgomery as any
man he knew Of" Such an expression seems
to imply aconviction in the mind ofhim who
made it of being defeated. IT'S well-such
we have every reason to believe will be the

Gov. McNutt and his Leading Measures.
1t is notorious fact. that the three great
leading measures of Governor McNutt, re-
commended to the Legislature by him and
passed into laws during his administration
are now imperative and dead letters on our
Statute Books. Why? because of their alb
surdity or unconsttutionality. The first
introduced by his friend and detractOr Gen.
Foote, was the "gaIon law" (save the mark
which passed the Legislature but which is
now totally disregarded -"grog shops
are seen every where they existed before
the law was passed. The next measure OF
the Governor was the law requiring Steam
Boats to roll cotton bales in Mississippi
without hooks! This great measure wor-
thy the genius of great man, was passed
after having been twice recommended TO the
Legislature in the Governors Message. Has
the law been observed2 no: neither in Lou
isianG where it is not binding or in Missis.
sippi where it is. The third was the "Pro
clamaton Law" by which McNutt was au
thorized to issue proclamations against the
Banks, which he did without number, there
by entailng great cost upon the State: die
his proclamatons avail! any thing against thc
Banks9 no, they are still going on as before
and must be settled by judicial action a
last as they should have been a, first. Ant
now this great Legislator and jurist propo
ses to pay Messrs. Hope & Co. and settl,
claims against the State amounting to Five
Millions Of Dollars by resolution Of th,
Legislature declaring that Mississippi will
never pay! Oh, McNutt, McNult! Thou
! Prince of Fnanciers!

The Candidates for senator.

We presume it is now generally known
throughout the county, who are the candi-
dates for Senator from the counties of Madi-
son and Yazoo at the next session of the Leg
islature, as we'll as the doctrines entertained
by those persons. But as they are residents
of Madison, it may not be amiss to place be-
fore our readers in Yazoo statement of the
principles and claims of the two gentlemen
soliciting their votes.
DR.. ROBERT MONTGOMERY is emphaticallv
the Wing Bond paying candidate. On this
question he is s!aunch and determined. He
asserts his full belief in the business of the
payment Of the bonds, and his ardent wish
is to preserve the honor and glory of the State
untarnished. He does not wish to behold
the star of Mississippi pointed at as the only
dim orb amid the brilliant constellation where
it should shine the brightest. He does not
wish to hear the State of Mississippi spoken
of in other than terms of respect by her Sis
ter States, nor does he wish to see her citi-
liens humble themselves at home. DR..
when we formed this opinion of him,-that
in the walks of social life, it would be diff
cult indeed to meet with more candid, hon.
est man. He did not address the citizens
whilst here, being wholly unprepared so to
do, having only day or two previous &C
cepted the invitation of friends his to be-
come their candidate, and never during the
whole course ofhis life, as he assured us, hay
irg spoken one word on the stomp. He will
pay us another visit shortly, when his princi-
pies and opinions will be publicly stated, and
the voters of this county will become better
acquainted with him. We have no hestan-
cy in predicting that the Doctor will receive
all the Wing bond paying votes of Yazoo.
Of MAJOR orr, we scarcely know how to
speak; but Notwithstanding the very singu-
lar speech made by him at this place. we
must set him down as the Anti Bond paying
candidate. We do so owing to the manner
in which he alluded to the Supplemental
Bill-that imbecile hobby-horse of the anti
bond payers. This gentleman processes to
be of the Wing party, and we are truly sorry
that he should so far have mistaken the true
principles by which that party is guided
and the pure motives by which it is actua.

of it's members can be enticed from the

Hall fully determined to advocate measure

selves and their posterity. We almost looked
upon MAJ. Or at one time as disavowing the
