WlrHDRAwN.-Mark Valentine, Esqr.,
of Warren county, has Withdrawn as a
candidate for Congress, on The grounds
that himself and Mr.. Davis do no: differ
much on the Brlscoe Bill question, after
all. Some persons are easily satisfied, and
we think Valentine is one of them. His
withdrawal will have one good effect 1t
will show 10 the world that the people oil
Mississippi have not yet so far lost sight
OF the good old landmarks Of honesty
and patriotism as TO elect man 10 Con.
gress, whose only claim to that distin.
gulshed station, is, that he is in favor OF
the passage Of law by our State legisla-
tHre, that extinguishes at once private
contracts made In good faith, regardless
of the re medial rights Of the contracting
parties, or even 10 afford sufficient en-
coIragement to induce him to continue a
candidate.
We regard the withdrawal Of Mr.. Val.
entine asan indication that a healthier
tone Of moral feeling is beginning to per.
wade the people Of our State.

WoopyILLE BARR.cuE.--We had the
pleasure Of being present at the barbe-
cue given in the vicinity of Woodvllie, on
Wednesday last. II was truly splendid
affair, and the magnitude o: the arrange
ments for the accommodation OF the as
semblage, corresponded well with the
opinion we had formed Of the generous
and heightened sons of Old Wilkinson
The arbor constructed FOR the dancing
was the most commodious we have ever
seen-fully large enough TO allow eigA
sets to figure on the light, fantastic toe
at the same time. We have neither time
nor space to say much. Suffice il to say
the dinner was excellent and abundant,
the ladies beautiful und enchanting--th the
gentlemen courteous and attentive, as
Isual-and the candidates thick as black
berries, in season. OF this latter species
Of the human genus, not one awaited
himself OF the favorable opportunity that
was afforded, Of paying his annuncia!ioH
fee, although several such were present
Absence of mind, was the cause of the
apparent neglect, no doubt.
We suppose that there were from a

This is all the news Of the slightest
IMPORTANCE which we were able TO gathe
So far every thing a, Arkansas and Corpus
Christi is quiet. The troops and volun
tcers are all we'll and in fine spirits. Gen
Tayl Tor as we have already stated, does
not anticipate collision with Arlsta o.
any Mexican force. He will throw de
acl.ments of Dragons forward between
his quarters and the Rio Grande from
time TO time, so that it will be impossible
for an army TO advance upon him without
his being apprised of the fact. With TIT
men under his command, and the excel
lent pieces of artillery-two twelve poun
ders and six sixes-taken down by thu
volunteers, from this city, his pos ition is
in every respect, perfectly safe from an.

GEN PATRICK HENRY. We call the at
tention Of our readers TO the address oil
this gentleman, which will be found on
the first page OF this weeks paper. 1t is
an able and eloquent production, worthy
alike of the head and heart of its author.
All true Wings will appreciate the noble
principles set forth so boldly and in such
beautiful language, and while they regret
the imperative necessity that deprives
them Of such a standard bearer in the
coming contest, they will honor the bold
and unflinching advocate Of the sacred
doctrines of State faith and State integ
rity. To the renegade Wings, who have
imbibed that viest o. all the vile heresies
of !ocofocoism Briscoeism-w imagine
the letter will not be very agreeable.
We are all glad to see that the decIina.
ton Of Gen. Henry will not deprive the
Wing party Of his valuable services, but
that, whenever convenient, he will do his
utmost to redeem the State from the
blighting and honor -corroding embraces
of repudiating locotncoism. He is Wing
after our own heart.
