We give below the result Of the great
race which came of, on the Union Course,
q. ~ on the 9th inst, between Fashion
and Blue Dick. There were three enteries,
but tho contest was between the two nags
mentioned above. Fashion won the first
heat with a severe struggle, by length,
coming out much distressed, In the second
heat Fashion led about length for the first
three miles, but in the last mile Blue Dick
forced his pace, and caught his fair cons

till they reached the last quarter stretch,
when the mare rallied and caught him, both

Judges, created good deal Of dissatisfac,

The WINS Cause.

The Wing cause in Mississippi is now in
settled and prosperous condition. Matters
which the people have lately been told con.
Germ her prosperity and welfare, are being
discussed with cool and calm deliberaiion,
which augurs we'll for the triumphant suc>
cess of the Wings at the next election.
The locOfocos, however, would fain SOW the
Teras seeds of discold, bu. we feel conf
dent, nothing can induce the Whgs to loose
sight OF their ancient land mark, but will
proceed steady on, with q Jealous eye to-
wards the common enemy, always keeping
in view the welfare aud prosperity Of the
Constitution and Laws. The Wings Of this
State are now perfectly united, and salu-
tary lesson has been taught them, that nc
cause, however weighty within itself, ought
to induce them 10 paralize their success &c

trust, therefore, that eUery one, who love.

SiOn dc ViIlafm,

A most notorious scoundrel, by the name
of John Fargtson, stole from Nj. Thomas
c. Rayner, OF Holmes county, on Saturday
night last, his two little daughters, one aged
II and the other years, also a negro man
and two horses. What under heaven could
have induced the black>hearted wretch TO
steal the little girls we cannot conjecture,
but we sincerely hope that the scoundrel
will be apprehended, and the children res
stored to their distracted parents.
We hope that our brethren Of the press
will give this fellow a passing notice. Fol
description of the thief, children, negro
and horses, see advertisement in another
column Of tO,day's paper. Mr. Rayner, in
his distressed state of mind, neglected ia
offer any reward for the apprehension Of
this FargusOn, but should he be aPprehend,
ed, we fell confident that liberal reward
will be paid by Mr.. Rayner,

The River.

Il is truly distressing TO read the accounts Of
the destruction Of life and property caused By the
overflow in the Mississippi river The St. LOUIS
Gazettee Of the 18Th, says; "The Mississippi
rose six or seven inches during the previous night.
Houses, crops and stock are being hourly destroy
ed. The Upper Mississippi lie still rising, and
sweeping every thing IN its course"
The same paper OF the 10Th, says: By the ar
rival OF the Missouri mail last evening, we learn
that the Missouri is sweeping every thing before
t-houses. barnes fences, and trees offer but fee
BILE resistance. Crops and stock have been car
ried of, and even human life, in many instances
has been destroyed.
"Capt. Adams, the pilot of the Iatan, which JUS
arrived from the Missouri, says it is his opinion
hat the river will undoubtedly rise three or foul
feet above its present level
"Our ocean city has suffered much from this
inundatiOn, not only from personal losses, but in
the way OF trade"
We condense this distressing tale, simply re.
marking that if half Of it shall Prove true, oui
frisnds on the Mississippi may give up and no
Try TO preserve their crops. Such destruction wa.
never known since the earliest settlement OF Abe
country I3eksburg Wig.

MuysEN, Or their friends il other States,
have nothing to fear from Mississippi
their majofIies At the next election will
be overwhelming, and The Wings have only
to move in solid planax, and all the frag-
ments Of factions must scatter before them.
''like chat befose the wind" The lOcos
dread there is to them, politically, an evil
day a coming, and they manifest no little
anxiety TO create breach ia the Wing
ranks, on the Texas question, il possible
but ia this, we fondly hope, they will b,
most glOriously disappointed. Yea, we MAJ
safely say, they will be disappointed.
