IMPRESSIONS. - rtract from the speech of
Gopraor McNutt, al Phdrsaiid,
Pamela county, on Impressions"
The Impressions" which have been ar
raved as testimony against the Ex-Go-
vernon. have arrayed him in very hos
tile attitude against that term. Some of
tho impressions he describes, are such as
should not be obliterated--this, at least, is
our impression. Said the Governor:
81 sometimes think will try and have
the word Impression eSpunged from our
dictionaries. Some Impressions are sweet
and never can be forgotten--others call
up bitter feelings. Sweet is the Impress
ion made by the young man, when he first
hugs 10 his bosom his lady-love, and i'm
prints kiss upon her rosy lips. Sweet
was the impression made by the grand
eector on the fair bride Of Itawamba. -
Fatal was the impression made by the
hypocritical -, who, when saluting his
friend and calling him brother, stabbed
him under tho tiIih rib. Fiendish was the
impression made BY Judas when he be,
trayed the Saviourof the world BY a kiss,

We assure the editor of the Vicksburg
Sentinel, he will find Mr.. Thompson both
a faithful friend and bold to yindicate the
position he took in Congress on the Chick
asaw bill Mr.. Thompson knows the peo-
pie are with him in his position on The
Chickasuw bill, and he will take the first
opportunity to render an account of his
stewardship to them, when the friends Of
the authors Of tho Chickasaw bill, may
vent all their malignity at him, if they
think proper. OF this, however, they will
find discretion the better part of valour,
and sound a retreat so soon as Mr.. Thomp.
son shall appear before the people. Mr..
Thompson is now absent from the State,
at the Harden, Tennessee, Springs, try
ing the virtue OF those waters upon the
system of most afflicted and only child.
We are pleased to hear the health Of his
child has improved by the use Of those
waters. He will return to Mississippi in
the course of week or ten days. 1t is
then his intention to tour the Southern and
Eastern portion of the State. Mr.. II. has
been assent from the Stale for some weeks
past when he returns home, the Sentinel
nor any of his friends will find cause Of
complaint, from him he will meet all ques
lions as he has heretofore done, boldly and
manly. Mr.. Thompson will be found full.
ly worthy "lhe position he has hitherto
held" and we regret the Sentinel should
for moment suppose Mr.. Thompson
could at any time, prove himself traitor
to his defenders. No man has warmer
feelings or more devotion to his friend;
than Mr.. Thompson. Ripley Advertiser.

Great Injustice towards Passengers.

Great Injustice towards Passengers.
JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.,
SIR
The following is a statement of facts in relation
to the Cunard steamer Britannia, SO far as regards
the treatment of ladies who intended to have
been passengers in that vessel. lady arrived here
on Sunday morning, and went to Boston along with
the express mail on Sunday afternoon; but when
she got there, 10, and behold she could not get a
passage, because Sir Charles Metcalf had engaged
the ladies' cabin for his own personal use Is this
right! Is this the just and proper way to treat the
travelling public think not. This misconduct
of the agent and Captain of the Britannia cost this
lady and her son-in-law, who accompanied her,
about twenty dollars, going to, and returning from
Boston. There were other females in the same pre-
dicament; they did not procure passage tor the
same reasons but even sns Is not all the trouble, IN
convenience, detention, and expense my female
friend suffered would not, however attach this blame
Sir Charles but to his attachs addecsmp who had
trea at the same time with this lady and her
and Others and when they to whitehall the canal
had some on it, In consequence had hro
boat and pay an extra price After going about twen
tyhvc miles in about twelve hours, they had to hire
coaches or wagons and In consequences Of the great
coach wagon could not take all the passengers ght
beeve3 and all the baggage. One wagon could have
taken the eight and trunk and travelling bag for oach
and had such been the they would have Green
bush time for the Western Railroad cars on Saturday
has Do iii onas
too late for the Britannia. Tn then came on to New
York and took the cars at Brooklyn on Sunday .ts NJ
II will very naturally be asked did not the
OF Sir Charles offer 10 pay for his extra baggage No
He only prevented the other passengers from reach
gage from Whitehall to Greenbush. When he took II
to the ferry at Whitehall street, the extra baggage
weighed and paid for before the aid-decamp could
obtain tickets for t. Are not the American people
der great obligations to the aid Of Sir Charles for his &C.
nerous and honest, and honorable conduct on this
occasion Who would not bow to royalty after this
What ought to have been the course and conduct Of
the Mr. Lewis the agent in this case After he had
engaged the ladies' cabin TO Gov Metcalie he ought to
have advertised that the Britannia could not and would
not take any female passengers this trip, and thereby
them the expense and trouble Of going to Boston,
What female depend upon getting passage In
the Cunad line, after this Will the travelling public
submit TO such usuaGs7 Unless mistake in my guess
of the American character and feelings rredics they
will not at least the Americans Better il will be- to
patronixe the New York packets and steaTers than to

agent, his captains. Yours, &c. J. NJ.
