LUcKY.--It appears from recent accounts
that colored lady of fashion in Georgia,
was struck by lightning, right on the bus
tle--but when the fiery bolt discovered
that it was down upon cotton, it turned off
in hurry and left her frightened, but
wholly unframed. The Georgia ladies
quote the case with triumph.

THE COMING PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIop

THE COMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Every where throughout the confederacy,
the wings of the Union are arousing them
selves for the great political struggle of 1914.
Public meetings and conventions are being
held in every direction, and in every State
the party is rapidly organizing, by the forma-
ton of clubs and associations. There are
many of our friends who deem these move
ments premature, and consider that twelve
months hence would have been early enough
to have commenced active operations. We
are, however, convinced that the present is
an suspicious time for action-that moan is the
time for the friends of the people and the
constitution to grid on their armour and stand
in readiness for the important conflict ina,
approaches. We have an artful. insidpo,,s
and never-sleeping enemy to combat-an
enemy that neUer reposes, but is ataDavs rem
dy. And not only so, but we have TO con.
tend with and overcome the President and
his creatures. There is now no doubt but
the traitor Is also an enesay. He is arrayino
against the wings of 1910, the whole mach.
merry OF Executive power and influence. and
will leave no effort untried to ruin those he
has betrayed. In the next contest there will.

ed flag of MIR. Tyler; and the true whig le
gion, under the unsoiled banner of Henri
Clay, This triple contest should give no Al
larm to the wings, for the Tyler banner will
be upheld, mainly, by locofocos and false
wings, and will not, therefore, lead off any
Iofour- legions, As for Mr.. Van Buren,, we

TExAs.-The Republic of Texas has again
been invaded. On the 18th of September.
(ult.) Gen. Wall with force of 1900 Mexi-
cans surprised and took San Antonio. A
proclamation has been issued by President
Houston for the Texan Militia to march inn
mediately in pursuit of the foe. and drive
them beyond the Rio Grande. When the
place was surprised and captured, the Cir
cult Court was in session. The judge and
officers of the court were borne off prisoners.
Should these meet with harsh treatment,
another incentive will be given the Texans
to march destroying army to the walls OF
Mexico.

MIssIssIPPIANs IN CoNGREss.-The follow
ing notice offormer and present Senators and
Representatives in Congress, from the State
Of Mississippi, is an extract from the Wash
ington Correspondence of the New York
Herald:
SEN passant these Mississippians are a
singular school Of politicians, and always
contrive to gain notoriety, in some form or
other. However variant in politics, for wears
thai State has sent men here remarkable for
their attentions to the ladies. Poindexter
and Black, the former Senators, and Plum
mer and Cage, were much better known in
the saloons of the fair than in the halls of
Congress, and on more than one occasion
got into very pretty difficulties; then there
was Gholson, surly as bear in the CAPITOL.
but all tenderness in the presence of a petit
coat. The lofty genius of Prentiss, whose
soul is as stubborn as steel, yielded in five
minutes to the temptation of a pretty foot;
and Claiborne, tall, pale, Cassius looking
person, and the most insulating man ever
me; with, was a perfect deVotee to the sex.
OF The present delegation, | can only say
that they are clever, very clever, in all re
spects, and Mississippi, if she has repudia-

all the world besides, will never be repudia-

nary metropolis,

Tns,ead Of deliverance it brought forth accu-
,nulated misery and added to the distresses
If The land. We have no currency,-entor-
nrise Is arrested labor has no reward -
Fearful, indeed, will be the reckoning of this
apostacy, but the present distress is no less
grievous. We conquered but were betrayed !!
The political condition of the country is,
however, we'll understood, and it is clearly
seen that there is no hope but in the election
o. a President on whom the people can de-
pend. To this end the people are rallying
with great determination for HARRY OF THE
WEST. This day Henry Clay is the most
popular man every where throughout the
land. We will have him for President,-we
will have National Bank-a peoples cur
rency-and prosperity in the county must
necessarily follow. The State banks have
nearly run their course of ruin. Their career
of sectional difficulties, geographical dis
tresses, rapid expansions and sudden explo-
sions, uncertainty, treachery and disappoint-
ment is nearly at an end. Then, and not
till then, will we have sound and general
currency, a solid, permanent, and reliable
state Of things.
The streams of popular excitement are all
flowing onward and mingling together-the
strong tide of 1910 will seem to have been a
calm and unruffled lake, when compared
with the rolling waters in 1914. Van Burer
will be the nominee Of the Locofoco cOnven'
ton, if they hold one, but he cannot com.
mand the strength of the party. Clay is al
ready in the field, and no one of the Whie
party looks to any other man. The friend!
of Scotthave virtually relinquished his claims
to the Presidency, but assert his right of be
ing chosen Vice President. Such would
probably be the most judicious course.
But where is Mississippi in all these move
ments! What has she said of;hese matters
and what has she done in connection will
them! Where is our State Convention T.
The people are with us, the State is ours
Why do we not exhibit our strength anC
proclaim our intentions!

JACKSON cotton TRADE GOMVCMeAS
We insert to-day call for public meet
ing at Benton, on Saturday The l6t@ aass',
upon the great and interesting subject OF the
Cotton Trade of the State. The people, IN
our humole opinion, were never called to-
gether upon a more important subject than
this. Have we men amongst us who are IN
deed and in truth .Nississippians, and will
not interest themselves in this important en-
terprse! If there be such, zoe knosC they
have not reflected maturely upon the SUBJ
iect. Our planting interest is at stake in this
matter to a most alarming extent, and many
persons are not aware of it because they have
not taken the pains to examine the facts con-
nected with it. The truth can hurt no one.
The Jackson Convention will lay the
foundation for thorough cooperation be-
tween the maker and the purchaser of Mis-
sissippi Cotton which will have the effect
finally of saving to the State Two Millions
year, or it will not, according as the planters
and other influential men interest themselves
in the subject.
1t is gravely proposed and stated by testi-
mony that is not questioned or doubted
(look al our columns nert s0eek!) that this en-
terprise is altogether practicable and will
when consummated save to the planter, in
expenses which he now pays, more than five
dollars bale upon the entire crop! The
man who will not take the pains to investi-
gate thoroughly such a proposition, and If
not found to be unreasonable, will not lend
his entire influence in promoting the reform,
we venture the assertion, he will never be
hung fbr his enterprise.
We hope to see a rallying of the planters,
merchants, lawyers, doctors, and all other
kinds Of men at Benton, on
SATURDAY THE FIFTEENTH,
and we trust the meeting may be an inter-
esting one to all who may attend.
OF The weather continues highly favor
able for the picking of cotton, and the plan
tiers appear to be "making hay while the sun
Shines" During the past two weeks from
three to four hundred bales Of cotton are
said to have been brought daily into this
town.
ENvY.-We never felt really enVious un-
til of late. The packages of late New Or
leans and other papers, which formerly sup
piled US with interesting news and items OF
various kinds, no longer reach us. This is
accounted for by the steamer Baton Rouge
now making Natchez her highest point OF
destination. We do envy our brother editors
of Natchez the facilities afforded them by the
ever-accommodating Charley Gyles.

| will at present merely undertake 10 Illus
trate and explain some positions assum ed IN
my last letter. stated that the making OF
Begging, Picking Sacks. Negro Clothing and
Blankets for the use of this State one year
would require some 10000 bales of cotton.
This cotton, suggested, ought not TO be pre-
pared by the planter as merchantable cotton
ton field is such that good clean cotton can
not be procured, then 60 in for different
article entirely, and pick for quantity. Such
cotton as this, which is as good for the uses
above named as any, could be sold by the
planter at four cents pound. Then the
$4,000 bales would cost $3.50, 900. If we
suppose a blanket to contain four square
yards. there would be in all 1850 900 yards
ofcloth. What would it cost to manufac-
ture it! To manufacture the bagging would
cost about five 10 six cents, but the other
cloth would cost more. 1t would perhaps
not be far from correct TO say eight cents a
yard for the whole. Then the manufactu-
ring would cost S596 900, which would
make the whole amount to 81 ,O76 900.
If these articles were all purchased out of
the State, as the most of them are, they would
cost about as follows, according to the esti-
mate made in my last, and suPposing the
same number Of yards as above. with this
difference, that when we substitute cotton,
we add about thirty per cent. in quantity:
100000 yards cotton cloth for clo-
thing at 20 cents $4,000
100000 yards linsey for clothing
at so cents 675,O00
100000 blankets at dollars 100000
100000 yards bagging at IS cents 100000
100000 yards sack cloth at 90 cents 10000
S2,335, Ooo
Now it cannot be supposed, think, thai
cotton goods properly manufactured, with
thirty per cent. added in quantity, is no
much better, yard tor yard, than the goods
we now use for the above named purposes
And no one can say that the intrinsic cost o
it will amount to any thing near the ore hal
Of the present cost. But The immediate di
minution of the cost to the planter does by n
means make up the sum of the advantage
TO be derived by substitution of cotton 70
| those purposes. The use Of 80, 900 bales O
inferior cotton annually in Mississippi, an,
then the withdrawal of slave labor from tn
cotton field which would produce 80 90,
bales more and which is sold to pay for
part, and but small part, {less than one
third) of the above named articles of planta
ton expenses, which is equal to an annua
consumption Of go 900 bales of cotton in thu
State where we now consume but little O
none, is matter of no small importance.
But we are to take into the account. as
have previously shown if am not mistaken
that all these operations will but very it'll,
if any, diminish the full crop of cotton in
tended for sale, or the gross value of tn,
cotton crop in market. r. A.
