For Enlargfng and Extending the
Circulation
OF THE
YAZOO CITY WING.

Ar the solicitation Of many of
our friends, and desire on our
part to make our papera useful me-
dunn Of communicaIion to the pub
lie generally, we have determined
tosENLAGE And OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE ''Y AGO
CITY WIIIG," SO as to make it
more worthy of a general circula-
ton among the people Of the inter-
ior.-Yazoo City is the trading and
shipping point of a large, rich, and
populous section of country, and the
facilities afforded 1T this point for
collecting tie IatesteYents that trans
pire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain a journal at
this place devoted to the advance
menl of is interests.
We have Iabored faithfully,
through evil report, and through
good report for the last ten years
lin publishing a paper in Yazoo
City and, during that whole period,
what patronage we have received,
was voluntarily and generously
rendered, without an effort on our
Ipart to obtain it. Our interests are
identified with those of Yazoo City
here We have reared a family
and, here we expect to end the ball
ance of our days.
To effect the improvements
contemplated in the WHIe, we shall
4 necessarily be compelled 10 incur
:. considerable extra expense /; and,
10 enable US to do this, we have
Issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
view to add additional subscribers
to our list.
We have determined to make
the VINO worthy of liberal and
generous support: and, we now
call Upon our friends TO use theirin-
fiuence and. aid to accomplish this
object. Two or three hundred adj
ditional subscribers, and a more Ex-
O TENDED patronage from our adveT-
d Using friends will be alI-sufficient.
Our arrangements are such, that
we can confidently assure our pat
rons that they shall not be disap-
pointed in their expectations,
). WnIG shall not be inferior to any
81 of its contemporaries, in the QUAIL
We Try and QUANTITY of reading mat

rs have, also, engaged the services o
nus several commercial gentlemen, o
New OEleans, to furnish us witt
ACCURATE reports of the markets
as well as all other matters whicl
will be of interest to the up-countr,

In iron there has been a falling off in the tran
sactions and considerable reduction in the price.
:. During the last week or two attention has been
directed to an article in the Dublin Nation the gist
OF which is, that in the event of unpaatable meas
ures being adopted towards Ireland by the present
or any future government the iron used in the con-
structlon Of railways could be very conveniently
turned into pixies and moreover that the deep cut
tngs on railway afforded the best available meth
cd of destroying British soldiers in their transit
through the country!
FRANcE.-The French papers are full of specu-
latlon about Oregon some think England is right
and some America; others call upon Guzot to step
In as a mutual friend and settle the quarrel, and
one aflirms that the French have better title to
the country than either England or America.
GERMANY.There is not much news stirring in
Germany, the religious excitement continues, and
In Switzerland it is believed there will again be
lighting this winter; food is scarce and high, and
all this leads TO make the people emigrate to the
United States, where they are permitted to choose
their own road to heaven, and have plenty to eat.

didconsen that the territory properly included with
IN and rlghtfully belonging to the republic of Tex
as might be erected into a State, to be called
the State of Texas, with Republican form of
Government, to be adopted by the people of said
Republic by deputies in Convention assembled with
the consent OF the existing Government, in order
that the same might be admitted us one OF the
States of the Union; which consent Of Congress
was given upon certain conditions specified i'll the
LIST and I'd sections of said Joint Resolution; and
whereas the people Of the said Republic of Tex
as, by deputies IN Convention assembled, with
the consent Of the existing Government did adopt
Constitution, and erect new State, with re-
publican form OF government, and in the name
of the people of Texas, and by their authority,
did ordain and declare that they assented to
and accepted the proposals, conditions, and guar
antics contained in said LIST and I'd sections OF said
resolution: and whereas the said Constitution with
the proper evidence OF Its adoption by the people
of the Republic of Texas, has been transmitted TO

JOINT resolution: Therefore
BE ii resolved By the .Seaaie and House of Repre
Sentatives Of the United States Of .4nierca il. Con-
greSs assembled, That the State Of Texas shall be
one, and is hereby declared TO be one Of the Uni
ted States Of America, and admitted into the Union
on equal footing with the original States in all
respects whatever
Be ii further resolved, That until the Rcpresen-
itatiyes in Congress shall be appointed according TO
an actual enumeration Of the inhabitants of the
United States the State of Texas shall he lpd
to choose two Representatives
1t will be seen that Texas is to have ttco Repre-
sentatives in Congress. She casts about 5000
votes At this rate Vermont ought to have at least
ten Representatives in Congress- But we suppose
one slave-holding Texan is worth fue Vermonters !;
and so he is-to the Siavocrltic Locotoco party.
The vote on adopting these resolutions was as
follows:
Ayes-l20 Locos, 90 Wings, Natyc-ln.

THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS.

| This is destined to be great country popula-
ton is rapidly advancing to the foot of the Rocky
Mountains, and seems destined to gil the whole
space TO the Pacific. New England has great
mission to perfcrms the strong men produced by
our vigorous climate will be the teachers preach
ers statesmen, manufacturers, and merchant prin-
ces of this new world as they are now in every
section of the Union. How shall they be fitted for
the work but by the common schools and colleges,
and churches of .New England? Look out for the
common schools, especially; secure good teachers,
and thorough and right instruction; aye, look out
for these small things now, and the great things of
another generation will be safe-,just as when you
stake care of the pence, the pounds will take care
of themselves"
The State has done much at the last session to
encourage and improve common schools Our
State Superintendent has commenced his work ad-
mirably his address to superintendent and teach
ers is full Of good sense, and generally appre-
bend that the County Superintendent are men who
will put heart into their work. Let the people sec.

MiLLERIsM Run Maidstone time since we al.
luded to sundry outrages perpetrated at Miller
meeting in Gill, Mass. One of the parties David
d. Miller of Brattleboro', w., says the account
was not correct. However, he admits enough TO
warrant all that said about titus:
"Nothing occurred at the meeting that was in
decent or in any way improper 1t is true, that on
the second day of the meeting, while the power of
God was upon me, and lay PROSTATE upon bed.
that brother Hathaway, under the influence of a
wicked spirit that for the moment took possession
OF his arm, struck me with his bible several times
on my head and face, and that for dav or two my
forehead was black and blue and some swelled. but
for this brother Hathaway was in no way TO blame,
for he could no more resist this spirits influence
than he could resist the revolutions of the earth
His arm was moved against his will, but the mo-
ment exercised faith, he fell to the earth or would
have done so if n brother had not caught him.
"We were holding our meeting quietly and
peaoeaby, bnt this same wicked spirit that had
troubled brother Hathaway, after leaving us. fell
upon the wicked people of Gill as it did upon the
herd OF swine upon the seaside and led them 70
assemble in a mob and break up our meetinr.-
Their hrst attempt was unsuccessful. Then thev
attempted to get out warrant to break us IN nv
the authority of law but failing in this also. thew
assembled in large numbers, and in the most rude
and indecent manner, in violation of right, contrary
to law, and against the peace and dignity of the
State, they invaded our sanctuary, broke IN our
worship, and scattered the saints'
