giE-W We have received the prospectus
Of the "Repudiator and Working Mans
Advocate" to be published in the city Of
Jackson, by J. S. Fall, Esq. It's his
intention to issue the RepudIator about
the first Of July. It proposes to be free
and fearless tool; to wage an uncompro-
missing war against every form Of tyranny.
which holds in bondage the labor or minds
Of men-a free press, which is the only
efficient and omnip0tent agent to set Just
bounds to the ambition and venaiity Of
public agents. Mr.. Fall is well known
as editor of the "Old Soldier" which
did signal service in the memorable cam
paign Of 40; and more recently as asso-
ciate editor of the Sentinel. Here are
the closing remarks Of the prospectus.--
"The Repudator and Working Mans
Advocate will wage war againat the whole
nest Of bond-payers, fundmongers, rogues
and rascals who are sucking the blood Of
the men Of suffering and toll; and it is to
be hoped that there are some who will
take an interest in the undertaking."

@ The Mississlpplan contains an
eloquent letter from Gen. A. G. Brown,
Internationally Withdrawing his name
from the ticket nominated by the Conven-
ton Of February last, and declines being
a candidate for any Office. This we sim
cerely regret, and hope he will retrace
the movement, and let his name go before
the convention in July; his nomination
will be universally acquiesced in by the
Democratic press Of the state. We know
not what has prompted this sacrificing
move on his part, unless to show that his
course and conduct shall be no obstacle
to the united action of the Democratic
party and the restoration of harmony in
our ranks. The only remedy for this va
cancy in the nomination, is for all to meet
in convention in July--sound the death
knell Of our jars and discord; perform the
'luneral obsequles," OF all our splits and
quarels; sing the last requiem Of dissen-
sion in our ranks, and once more behold
our united forces march in solid phalanx
under the immaculate banner Of Democ-
racy. This done, and we will extirpate,
ere the kalends of November, every YES.
tige Of opposition.

aG The last Mississippian brings us
intelligence Of most melancholy and dis,
tressing nature. DR.. JAMES HAGAN, the
able, intrepid and talented editor Of the
Vicksburg Sentinel, is no more! He fell
in the streets Of Vicksburg, from wound
received in the spine and entering the pos
terror part Of the head, causing instant
death. We have not been able to obtain
any farther particulars concerning this ira
gedy, save that he was killed by Mr.. D..
w. Adams. In common with his friends
we cannot but express our deep sorrow
for the loss Of such man; and in such a
manner.
He was generous, high-souled and tai
ented--endeared to all who knew him
with heart "open as day to melting char
ity!" Fraily and error too frequently
accompany true genius, and il he had vi
res they cleaned to virtues side," and
are now at rest with him in an untimely

EMIGRATION To TExAs.--Our readers
may recollect the presence in our city
some weeks since of two German noble
men on their return from Texas, where
they had been to purchase large tracts OF
land, We presume they are among the
individuals alluded to in the following
paragraph which we met with yesterday,
received by tho Great Western, and cred
tied to the Magdeburg Journal, Of the 9th
| of April;--Picayane.
Among the many projects for COLOMBIA
ton which have lately been brought for
ward, it is interesting to learn that twenty
four German princes and nobleman have
subscribed several hundred thousand flor
ms to joint stock 1.-THE shares 5000 for
ms and have purchased considerable
tract of land in the Republic Of Texas.
Two Of the share holders have been sent
to Texas, who have concluded the pur-
chase of the President Of the Republic,
and are now on their way home. Count
C, in Mayence, who was in the
Austrian service, has the whole direction
of the affair, The humane object of this
undertaking Is to enable the shareholders
to procure for their subjects who emigrate
a sure means of means Of subsistence in
America. Should the plan succeed, as ii
is to be expected, it will be much cnlarg-
ed by an increase of the funds.

date it still further they destroy other cells. As the
worm grows, the bees continue TO labor, and 10
provide food which they place before its mouth and

INFLUENCE OF VEGETATION IN THE FoRMA-
TON OF SoIh.-Beside rocks, vegetation itself con-
tributes to the formation Of EARTH thus upon the most
naked rock some mperceptible lchens first establish
themselves, which act upon the rock, and contribute
with the atmospheric influences to decompose It,
Soon this first decomposition mingles with the re
mains Of the first vegetation, forms small bed OF
vegetable mould; then other stronger plants grow,
such the large chens, the MOSES; the grasses,c
whose more powerful action and more considerable
remains, increase with greater rapidity, the earthly
bed, and at last convert it into arabic SOIL Snch,
we have reason to eeve, has been the first mode OF
formation upon great number of regions, and II we
still see naked rocks it is because their abrupt sua-
ton has prevented the establishment of any vegeta-
tion.-Farm House of The 18th Century.
