The meeting then adjourned to meet or
Tuesday next, at 10 O'Clock, when they vii
be addressed BY Rev. B. ID. Nabers.
MEssRs. WEBSTER e. INGERSOLL.
After the reception of the Presidents Mes
sage TO the House, refusing to submit the pa.
pers pertaining to the secret service fund, Mr..
Webster, in the Senate, made short speech
in which he treated Mr.. Ingersoll, and his char.
ges against him with great contempt; and de.
manded proof Of the charges. Mr.. IngersolI,
in the House, on the next day, proceeded to
seiterate his charges against Mr.. Webster, and
to specify and par.cu!arse. When after much
excitement, and the raising of many points of
order, Mr.. Ashman, of Massachusetts, obtained
the floor, and in q most caustic manner replied
to Mr.. Ingersol, making at the close Of his
speech as many charges against the public
life Of Mr.. Ingersoll, as Mr.. IDgersoll had made
against Mr.. Webster. A Committee was then
appointed TO inquire into the mode and manner
Mr.. Ingersoll obtained his information agains,
Mr.. Webster, and further committee to call
on the President, to furnish to them the infor-
nation in the Archives of State, relative to the
expenditure Of the secret service fund, in order
any improperly, or improprieties has been
had in the use Of this fund by MIR. Webster,
when Secretary Of State, as charged by Mr..
Ingersol, to institute impeachment. We have
no idea any proof will be had in the slightest
degree, to criminate Mr.. Webster We hope
therefore, that Congress will at once cease
their seemingly former occupation of making
each other great men, and prepare at once for
vigorous defence Of the country,
TIt some way or another happens, that we
have the poorest mail facilities in Mississippi of
any other State in the Union, where so many
mail routes are established. 1t is ten and some.
times sixteen or eighteen days before we can
get paper published only two hundred and IF
~ miles by mail route from this place
We have tri.weekly stage line from this place
TO Jackson, Miss. A man can get in the
stage here and in two days and three nights he
will be in Jackson, and in three days and half
in Vicksburg; and yet it takes a paper four
times that length Of time to travel the same
route. This is fau. some where, which
should be corrected. At this time public ex-
pectation is all on tip toe, TO hear from the seat
Of Government, yet we are fortunate if we can
do 60 in two weeks: We hope that editors of
papers south. will see that their papers are put
IN the post off &c in proper time, and if they do
not arrive at their destination when they should
do, the Post Master General should place men
IN Office who will give the pos, Office they are
placed in charge Of, their particular attention,
and turn all out of Office who do not.
Papers from Washington city, or Philadel.
phia, reach here in seven or eight days. 1t
takes double that time to geta paper from any
important point in our own State. Well may
there be sectional divisions in State in which
information and communication progress &c
slowly from one point to another.
pWe have received the three first mum
oers Of the DAILY REroRMER. new paper Pu0
lshed in New Orleans, by the energeuo MI
SnYrH, the late editor Of the Southern He'o'
mer, Jackson, Miss. The paper is oeaut'fu
sheet, very neatly executed, contains more gen
ersl intelligence than any daily in our knowl
edge, and will doubtless receive the patronage
i.s en,erprising and energetic publishers de
serve.
uThe ravages Of the storm at Grenada
Miles,, are even more terrible than the accoun
given in an extrsc. from the Organizer, in to
days paper. No language can portray th'
hcar,.rending sorrow which must have over
wbelmed the bosom Of he parents OF thos'
eri. who lost their lives at the school OF Mrs
Plummer.
