Land Office at jackson.

Can any person loco or Whig) inform us
what has become of the Land Office, at Jack
son, in this State! A friend of ours having
some business in the above Office. visited the
city of Jackson few days since with the
view of transacting it, but could no where
find either the Register or Receiver; he was
informed that they had not been there for
six months or more. Our friend, however,
after dilligent inquiry and search. at length
found a portion of the Books in the back
room of Store strewed over the floor, on
boxes, casks, &C.; where he also found sew
eral cart loads of patents piled up in corner,
some under foot and perhaps some swept
into the street. The books were in most
deplorable condition and it will be a wonder
when the nesO Receiver comes if he can find
one half of them. The Registers name we
understand is Thomas Hopkins who left
Jackson last summer for Tennessee where
he became a candidate for the Legislature
on the democratic Ticket!
We'hope when General Harrison fills the
offices in Mississippi, he will not force upon
US any more IennesseeGns; we have had
enough of Tennessee Registers, Receivers
and Marshalls,-give US honest Mississip-
plans, be they wings or democrats.

The Country Editor.

No one but a country editor can form the
remotest idea of the disadvantages under
which he Iabors. He depends upon regular
ly receiving his exchange papers from differ
ent sections of the country, for the purpose
of making his selections, but what little de-
pendence can be placed upon country mail,
is known to every one who has lived coun-
try life. The small town in which he has
established himself is not sufficient thor
oughfare to enable him to gather news from
travellers. If he seats himself for the pur-
pose of penning an editorial article, the mo-
notony of a country village affords no in
stance wherein to exercise the Imagination,
and ten to one, when he does chance to hit
upon some idea in embyon to form para
graph, but he is, just at that moment, called
from his Office to attend to some business at
his dwelling, or that of his neighbors, for a
country editor is required to be every where,
and doing every thing, at one and the same
time; at all events, such is the case with our
self. AS specimen of the various employ
ments of country editor, we give, in part,
the duties that devolved upon us during one
week, to wit:-attending to the practical bu-
siness of the Office, and the editorial depart
Notwithstanding divers persons with ex-
change newspa nursing wife and fam
lily, owing to sickness,-carrying mortar to
the mason building our cistern, working in
the garden,-going after COW and calf
chopping and hauling fire wood ,-feeding
horses and hogs,-hunting hens eggs
sweeping out the church, -endeavorin to
collect and pay debts, &C., &c, in fact, be-
ing editor, printer, proprietor, housekeeper
and devI. Such being the life of country
editor, is it possible that he can supply his
paper with that variety of matter which
should at all times, make it interesting to its
readers? We answer no. But some one
asks, what reason have you for doing all
these things yourself! The first of reasons
want of means to employ others. Could we
collect what is justly ours, the case would
be different, for ''money makes the mare co.
We fear many country editors are nearly i
not quite, in this situation.

We also witnessed the performances Of Bertram /:
Mr.. cargil, sustaining the principal character, in
which we have before seen him, and in which,
we have never seen him surpassed. During this
evenings entertainments, the building, in some
part Of it, gave way, which ecaused (among the
rush Of auditors, endeavoring to escape looked
for injury,) many persons to appear upon the
stage, without their names being previously an
nounced. The bills since printed, announce, that
no danger need be apprehended in future.

Our Town.

An article from the pen of an editor moi
nnfrequently places him in the unpleasant
ituation of the painter, who tried to please
every body, but pleased nobody. Our pub
fishing short notice, last week, of the
stores, business, &C., of our town, in which
we referred to the store of J. S. and H.
Leavel, as being stocked with an extensive
assortment of goods, not only occasioned
i'll feelings towards US in the bosoms of a
few of our neighbors, but some, we under.
stand, were even blinded enough to take ac-
tual offence at an inofehsiVe paragraph.
The recommending ola store, tavern, coffee
house, or other establishment worthy OF pa
tronage is customary among our brother ed
TORS, and, we think, all will allow, justifa-
bly, so.-The true purport of newspaper
is to make known to its readers, the most
useful and interesting items of the day. To
prove that such recommendations are cas-
lomary, we will take the trouble Of copying
rom an exchange paper, few notices of
different establishments, &C., to wit.

Who have, that it is all that it is cracked up
o be, and something more. Try it."
Many more such recommendations might
easily be cleaned from other papers. but be-
ng of no interest, except where they frs'
appear, we decline doing so. We should
have taken no notice of the subject, only
hat it appears to be the opinion of some
persons that our pen is doubly guided, --ol
other words, that we are hired TO write
such notices. In all our remarks, political o.
otherwise, we have pursued a fearless, in
dependent course, and shall continue to dc
%, despite the displeasure those whom We
hever intended to displease.

Theatre.

During thepast week, many peices of merit have
been presented to our play-going citizens; but,
owing to the unfavorable state Of the weather,
and the press of Office duties, we have not been
able to attend the theatre as regularly Is We
wished to do. We were present, however, at the
representation Of the Stranger, and without fat
tering the company who are at present here, we
must say, we never saw the peice played be tier.
Mr.. Cargill, as the Stranger, drew tears from the
fairer portion Of the audience, whilst as relief.
Mr.. Bruce. as Peter, caused them to make use Of
their handkerchiefs hide their frequent laughs.

Bruce, as Charlotte, was the chambermaid Ne be-
fore noticed. Thislady (would she but throw at
fectation aside improves upon acquaitance; her

brought wildly to our mind, Caroline Chapman
