To the Citizens of the Third military

To the Citizens of the Third Military
Division of the state of mississippi.
By the Proclamation Of His Excellency, the
Governor Of tho State, it will be perceived that
the President has desired Mississippi to furnish
another Regiment of Volunteers to serve dur
ing the Mexican war. He calls for a Regi-
ment to serve during the ,ar with that power.
1t is evident from the recent action of the
National Executive, that the war will be vigo-
rously prosecuted, and it is certain that its
speedy termination must result from such ener-
getic prosecution. This may perhaps be the
last opportunity that will be offered to the ar
dent citizen-soldiery Of our State, to rally for
service under the banner Of the country.
When the call for the first Regiment reached
here-for that Regiment which won immortal
honors at Monterey--the Third Division, which
| have the honor TO command, promptly des-
patched FIVE companies to the place of rendez-
vous, Two other companies we've halted on
their march by the news, to them very unwel-
come, that the Regiment was full. Will not
the Third Division again signalize itself by
this patriotic zeal? 1t cannot be doubted that
this portion of the State, that the whole State
will eagerly respond to the call of the Presi-
dent; for all will acknowledge that a failure
to comply with it would be injurious to the re-
p%utation Of the people.
Asst is possible that it may be necessary for
more than one county to unite in the organiza-
ton of a company, l have acceded to the re-
quest of some friends here, to publish this brief
appeal to the Division, and to suggest in it a
mode of filling up the companies. At least
three companies should be organized in the
Division, and by some such arrangement as the
following might this be effected: Let two or
three counties unite to form company, the
active men Of each county corresponding and
consulting together upon a place Of temporary
rendezvous before the march to the general
rendezvous at Vicksburg. Thus, Kinds and
Warren, or Kinds, Madison and Warren, might
c%oalesce, and form a company. Holmes, va
zoo, Issaquena, Sunfower and Washington.
and rankin, Simpson and Copiah might COM
bine. This suggestion is offered to induce a
concert of action among those who are ready
and willing to take up arms at the appeal of
the Government, as we are all confident that a
strong and harmonious effort only is necessary
to secure the organization of the Second Regi-
ment of Mississippi Volunteers, 1 respectful
ly submit the above to the people of the Divi-
sion, only with a view to advance this object
The papers in the counties named above will
please publish this.

1t must be abundantly evident to all Observ-
ant southerners that the subject of abolition
is too much and too freely discussed here. 1t
may answer the purpose Of those who get up
"World's Conventions &c, in England or ABB
clifton meetings at the North; but it does not
answer any good purpose in the South. It is
sufficiently evident, in as much as discussion
on the subject in England or at the North must
be entirely aimless, unless it induce discussion
here, that such is the object Of the noise made
in places where no slavery exists. 1t is also
apparent to rejecting men that, if an attcmpti is
made to cast the odium Of abolition on either
party here by a~ssailing members Of t,who re-
side at the North, that when party feeling runs
high, the attempts to assail and defend will
occasionally merge into an actual discussion of
the merits Of the question itself; and that from
this, the transition would be easy to raising up
an actual party of abolitionists right here at
home, and among ourselves. There are other
causes silently at work to aid in producing such
a state of things, all of which, we contend; it
is better not to discuss. The question is one,
not between wing and democrat, but tbetween
north and south. Conducting herself with
proper dignitysand self respect, the South is
not sin danger;"it is only when she is ready to
triae with her W peace and her peculiar in
%terests, for the sake of general party ascenden.
cy in national politics that she incurs "dan-
ger"
Without any party bias whatever, l think l
may state the simple fact to be that the Demo-
cratic press in the South (well knowing its own
party at the North never neglects an opportuni-
ty to coax the abolition vote into its tolls,
and succeeded in 1874, (even with Birney him
SELF has recently made strong effort to fix a
connection with abolition upon the Wings. OF
course the wings are forced to retort, and, just
as The G%bolitiOnists intended, an angry discussion
of the subiectis actually raging'here, when ev-
cry man of common ordinaryEsense knows there
ought MT 10 be one word Of discussion upon it,
May IhAe, Mr.. Editor, that in compliance
with the views of those Of your readers most in
%terested, you will now let the subject drop by
way of a worthy example, which is worth q
thousand precepts, to your contemporary and all
other Southern newspapers.

The wall street RothschiId.

The correspondent of the Charleston Courier
throwns some light upon the great %inancier
who came SO near carrying off the five million
loan from the regular brokers Of Wall street,
We make all extract from his letter:-Rc.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL.
The great capitalist of New York, who took
the whole of the five millions at one and an
eighth per cent, has for three days been the
lion of the Treasury. He has been the sub
iect of much envy on the part OF the smaller
capitalists whose bids had been superseded.
Mr., Walker congratulated himself on elicit
ing such financial aid. 1t was generally sup
posed that the bid was made partly on foreign
account. But this isa mistake, as it turns out,
The bid was made solely on individual respon-
sibility.
Edward H. Kershaw having made the most
favorable bid for the Government loan, was
notified by Mr.. Walker on Friday that his bid
was accepted; and he was requested to place
the sum Of three millions with the assistant
1IGdbuI6E III IN6W IOIh Oh mOHudy hlOlhtuR,
as the Government wished to use the money.
A messenger was sent by the Department to
complete the arrangements with the New York
Rothschild. The other bidders found that they
were obliged to give way to this monopoly and
bear their disappoIntments as well as they
could.
Mr.. Walker, in person, has been busy fol
three days in telegraphing orders to New York
in respect to this offer of Mr., Korshaw's.
But this morning the Secretary received /
telegraphic despatch, stating that Mr.. Kershav
was a man of straw, and had no foreign con
n%exions, nor any domestic ones OF a creditablt
character The Intelligencer of yesterday
represented that he was hitherto unknown II
fame; but this is not exactly so, for the advi
ces received by the Secretary represent him al
possessing much notoriety-having once beer
indicted for swindling.
His bid would not have been rejected on thij
account had he made it good; but it was rep
resented to the Secretary that he had not de-
posted a copper, and that no one would trus
him with a copper. This being the case, the
Secretary relinquished his advantageous OIeI
and fell back upon the offers made at par ant
a shade above. OF these he has more thai
enough to complete the loan.
The Secretary now threatens to prescott,
Kershaw orhoaxing him and Intentionally de
laying the public business, The Secretar,
considers it as a sort Of reasonable plot to EN-
barrass the operations Of the Government il
time Of war.
The matter will make a great laugh in Wal
street to-day.

into his %nostrils; in a few minutes it will Ope-
rate, and cause him to follow you, or permit
you to handle his feet, or get upon his back
Thus with perfect ease, may a wild and vicious
animal be made gentle and harmless.
However absurd the above may seem, we
have ourselves Witnessed the most magical
effects from the use of this singular p%rescrip-
ton. We remember that about a year ago a
"hOrse-tamer'' made his appearance in the city
of Richmond, and offered to undertake the
most vicious animal that could be produced.
We saw him encounter an unbroken young
stallion, which he subdued; in fifteen minutes
he was climbing to the horses back by the
way of his hind legs. Similar, even stranger,
feats were performed, to the great wonder and
admiration Of our citizens. We were not the
depository of this secret, and, therefore, are
not guilty of any breach of confidence in be-
traying it; but we know he professed to use
no other means to subdue the horse, than the
one above alluded to.--Southern Standard.

From the Southron

Mr.. EDIroR.-I have read with much regret
an article in the Mississippian, under the head
of"0pposition Of the Federal party to Ameri-
lean Interests" l have also read your reply
in which you successfully throw back the
charge of tampering with abolition upon the
Democratic party. AS a STAKEHOLDER and
without reference to national politics, | trust l
may be permitted publicly to express The hope
that both you and your opponent have now
done with the subject.
For hoping so, l have reasons both politi-
cal and local, or referring particularly to this
region Of the Union.
LIST. The Democrats finding they are beaten
in the late elections on the real, and prominent
issues between the two principal political par
ties Of the country, are attempting to skulk
from the discussion Of them, and offer neO is
sues. AS a Wing, | think it clearly the policy
of my party to hold its opponents to the old is
sues until l848. should not be surprised my
self if this new issue of a general league with
northern abolition, which it appears, if possi-
BILE isto be got up,was ordered by that very cum
ming p%artizan, the renowned author of the
"South in Danger" and l know his tricks too
well to be caught by them.
Cd. 1t is plain enough that both political
parties in the old Northern States are constant
ly plagued and distracted with some of those
innumerable ''ssms," which start up there in
the night like mushrooms, and that both, when
these Independent factions arise, endeavor
through some of their leaders, candidates or
Conventions, to secure the vote of those fac
lions. This is quite natural, and will continue
to be done, whether the different parties here
charge each other with abolitionism or not,
and / therefore think it not only useless, but
detrimental to the whole South to keep up a
constant recrimination upon the subject here,
in the slave-holding States.
Sd. There are no sbolitionists, of either par
ty in the South, and editors of newspapers can
not make their readers believe there are; and it
is the opinion of the most sagacious, clear
oighted and acute SouLherners, of all parties
with whom have conversed, that the attempt
Of party newspapers in the South to throw the
stigma of abolition upon their immediate oppo-
nents, are not only useless and detrimental, but
positively suicidal to the whole South, because it
gives the subject a consideration and publicity
which for the most obvious reasons, it should
never obtain here. The same class Of men l
have mentioned believe there is but one course
for the South to pursue in relation to the sub
iect, viz simple silence, unless our constitution
al rights are assailed by those having power to
affect them, or our soil is invaded by abolition
emissaries from the North or from abroad;
then, no newspaper palaver, in either case, but
! effective action.

Considerable interest has lately been occa-
stoned at Hamburg by the United States Com
sui having detected among a number Of emil
grants who presented their passports for his
view, previous to their departure for the Uni
ted States, ten ill looking s~coundrels all dressed
alike, who, on inquiry were found to be con-
victs from Mecklenburg Schwerin. The Mecks
lenburg Govt had given these c%onvicts sum Of
money sufficient to convey them to the United
States, preferring that manner Of getting rid Of
them to the expense of keeping them in prison
at home. What makes the matter worse is that
the Mecklenburg authorities actually gave
these ~convicts certificates of good character.
The United States Consul sent them back, with
a strong remonstrance to their government a.
gainst the inquiry ofsuch a proceeding. 1t is
DOT, it appears, the fist time that the Meek
lenburg authorities have got rid of their con-
victs in such a way. Many other German
Governments have done the same thing. In
fact nothing is more common in this country
than to get rid OF ruthless characters by persua-
ding them to go to the United States. Bul to
make the States a place for German thieves
and assassins, is rather too strong, especially
when the public authorities give them certif-
Gates Of good character.
