Whig Candidates.-To the Fieldg


We perceive by the different Democratic
journals, that the Anti-Bond- Paying Locofo-
CO candidates arc strenueusly engaged in
disseminating their principles and holding
forth their erroneous political views to the
people Of the several sections Of the State.
The question before the citizens of Mis-
sissippi, whether they shall or shall not dis
charge the bonds of the State is one of en-
crossing importance, and rendered more so
to the Wing party from its having been made
by the Locofocos one of decided party spir-
it. There are many voters who at the last
election held forth the Wing ticket without
hesitation, that we are fearful will scruple
in giving their vote at the ensuing contest,
from not having thoroughly examined for
themselves the situation in which the State
Bonds are placed, and reflected upon the
disgrace that must consequently be entailed
upon the present honorable and proud State
Of Mississippi, by the refusal to meet the
just demands upon her. Let the voters
pay every attention TO the arguments ofeach
candidate, and then weigh we'll whether
they will choose for themselves honor Of
disgrace.
The business Of the Courts having been
gotten through with, we think our candi-
dates have now full opportunity to com
mence Itheir electioneering campaign, and
diligently canvass the State. They have a
political battle field before them in which
the enemy are alert and have energeticalIy
commenced their Notifications, and ii will
require strong combined force to success.

To.morroN,s Whig Meeting.

In our last weeks paper we gave notice 70
the Wings Of this county, that meeting
would be held BY the Wing party, at the
Phoenix House in this place, on Saturday,
(ro-MoRRow) the 12th inst. The principal
object of the meeting is to receive from the
committee previously appointed fov the
purpose the names of the gentlemen chosen
by them torepresent this county in the Low
er House at the ensuing session of the Leg
islature. It is high time the selection was
made known to the people. We confident
ly expected to see notice of the meeting in
the Yazoo Banner, as the editor of that pa
per, when we last saw him, strenuously adj
vocated the measure for the reasons we have
already adduced. We respectfully sOlicitOul
Benton friends and the Wings of the county
one and all, to be in attendance.

Fish.


The season of destruction to the fnny
tribe is again with US, and all classes now
and then partake of the pleasures and fa-
tigues of angling. At one time the delicate
perch is roughly drawn from its cool retreat
by the sturdy hand of the yeoman--a anoth-
er, it glides gently, but unwillingly, to the
heated surface of the stream, under the gui-
dance and management Of an anxious fair
one, who, when having caught the little nib
bier, receives an additional zest to the sport
by coquettishly giving directions to her viii
ling and well pleased masculine attendant
as he d1sengages the hook from the party-col-
ored captive, and adjusts the seductive bait
TO allure and ensnare another tiny victim.
The Yazoo river does not afford many va
rielies Of fish, the trout not the spotted
trout of the northern streams, )-the perch
and catfish, being the only occupants of our
waters worthy Of place upon our tables.
However, in catching of these sufficient
amusement is afforded the disciples Of the
celebrated Isaac Walton, to pass pleasantly
summer evening.
To the lovers of fish we give the following
directions to prevent from spelling and fol
cooking perch:

COOKING FOOD FOR ANIMALS.

All are aware that grain of almost every
kind greatly increases in bulk by steaming
or boiling, and this bulk is greatest at the
moment the grain is swelled so as to crack
or burst its skin. It is also known that
cooked food is far more nutritious to ami
mails than that which is uncooked; and ma
ny have gone on the suppostion that its in
crease in value for food was equal to It's in
crease in bulk for cooking. This is doubt
less mistake, as the nutritive power of the
articles is rarely in proportion TO their size,
and never perhaps exactly in proportion to
their increase of bulk in cooking.
Reaumur instituted a series of expert
ments to determine the rate Of increase in
different articles of food most commonly
used for animals, and found the result oil
some of them as follows:

sabbath Breaking.

To obvaie any difficulty and inconveni-
ence to those persons residing in the cOun-
try around us, and who have been in the
habit of driving their Wagons in town for
the express purpose of putting in their loads
on the Sabbath day, we call their attention
to the Ordinance recently passed by the
Mayor and Board of Selectmen of Yazoo Ci-
ty, expressly prohibiting traffic of any kind
with the stores on that day, and that it be
observed as day set apart wholly for the
exercise of religious duties. This is but in
accordance with the statutes of the State
which the Mayor and Selectmen are sworn
20 regard and enforce. In the neighboring
city of Vicksburg this law is absolute.

In the continuation of his experiments TO
ascertain the effect of suchfoo on animals,
he found that with some of these articles,
though the bulk was much increased, the to-
tai of food required to satisfy the animal,
was the same as if no cooking had taken
place; or that an animal would eat half
bushel of oats dry, would eat bushel cook,
ed with the same ease. The nutritive pow
er was, however, apparently increased, or
the whole of it contained in the grain made
available; which, when grain is fed whole
CT raw is rarely the case. On the whole, he
came to the conclusion that when wheat,
barley, or Indian corn is used for feeding, it
is far more economical to boil or cook these
grains, than to feed them in raw state !:
but that little is gained on the score of econ
omy; when time, fuel, &c, are taken into
consideration, in cooking oats, rye and buck
wheat.
In determining the question of economy,
much We think is depending on the manner
in which the cooking of the grain is perform
ed, whether alone or with other substances
such as roots. Alone, corn is the most i'm
proved by cooking of any of the grains, and
the value of corn and meal for making pork,
it has been shown by experiment, is almost
double when made into pudding. We have
long been in the habit Of boiling and steam.
ing potatoes FOR feeding pigs or making pork.
With them, in the early part of the feeding,
we incorporate apples, squashes, pumpkins,
indeed almost any vegetables of which
swine are fond. The grain we use, is
ground, and either steamed with the roots
Or mixed with the hot mass in the yats as
it is taken from the steamer. As the feed
ing progresses, the quantity Of meal is In
creased, until towards the last, that mate
rial alone. Corn is decidedly the best grain
for making pork; peas and barley are next.

they have not before this late period been
more fully under ihe consideration Of those

larry most closely allied viz, the planters.

~ Of produce disposed Of BY them At oul

The price Of cotton greatly declining, com.
bined with the absence of . sound and regu.

pect Of affairs, and caused the planter to re.
fleet upon the practicabiIity ofrelying princi.

We think the views of Mr.. Abbey, as depict.

once entered into with spirit and determine
ton, there can be no possible doubt but the
result of their operations would benefit the
community at large. At all events let the
planters read at,entively and weigh well
within their own minds the arguments

the ardent desire of every planter in the
