WARS AND RuMoRs OF WAR.-There is
but little reliance to be placed upon the news
received from the South. Afew days since
the papers broughtthe news that the Mexi>
can forces had crossed the Rio Grande, and
that it was almost hourly expected an en-
gagement would take place between them
and the United States troops under Gen.
Taylor. On Friday last the papers brought
the intelligence that Mexico had declared
War against our government, but the papers
brought by the mail Of Saturday gave no
credit to the news, and steamboat that sail
ed from New Orleans after the one which
brought the War news brought nothing to
confirm it, and it is generally believed to be
hoax. -.,.r

the 29th ult. states that letters were received
by the steamship Great Western, announcing
the settlement Of the Oregon question, upon
the 49th parallel of latitude, between the

is not true, but give it as one of the rumors
Of the day.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION took place on the
94th ult. but few returns have been received.
The probability IS that the Democrats have
elected majority in both branches Of the
General Assembly. There is to be United
States Senator elected at the next session Of
the Legislature in place of Mr.. Archer. The
Democratic majority will not probably be as
large as they had last spring, when they had
a majority of lOi in the Senate and a7 in the

FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO,
The Western Review

Is the title of literary and political pub.
Iicaton just commenced by Messrs. c. c. &
G. R. Hazewell. of Columbus, Ohio, the first
number of which we have received. The
Review is to be published quarterly in Janu'
a,y, April. July and October, each number to
contain ESQ pages at $500 per year, payable
upo n.the receipt of the second number.
IL is entirely unnecessary to speak OF the
importance of sustaining IN the West, a
publication which, while 1t is not entirely
sectional, il is to be devoted to the advocacy
of Western interests. The Messrs. Haze
wells are amply qualified for such an under
taking: and the number of the Review be-
fore us gives evidence of the high character
and usefulness of the work. Its contents are
truly valuable and interesting. Among its
articles are the Annual Reports Of the Secre-
taries of the Treasury and Navy, History of
the War in France and Belgium in 1915 by
Capt. w. Leborne; Mr.. Burke's Report on
the interference ofthe Executivefn the affairs
VI huUue Isl anu tiaue w Vic " No AAoo9S VA
Representatives, June 7, 1914; England un>
der Seven inistratons; Speeches Of
Members of Congress from the West on the
Oregon question, &c., also of Hons. John
@. Adams of Macs. and d. S. Dickinson Of
N. Y; Annual Message of the President;
History of Rome, by B. G. Niebuhr;. Do. by
Thomas Arnold, D. D., &c. &c.
The great variety of we'll selected literary
and political articles which grace the pages
of the first number of the Review give it a
value and interest unsurpa ssed by any publi-
cation of the day. We hope the worthy pub
fishers will be amply sustained in their un.
dertaking.

Locofocolsm.

The following extract is taken from the edit
oriH of the Yazoo Democrat. We assure our
readers that the editor is not poking fun at
them, but is in right down earnest. There is
an opehness,a heartiness and sincerityin his adj
vocacy Of what some tender consciences de-
signate by the hard terms of r~ascality and
swindling, that is quite captivating. We trust
he has forwarded a copy Of his paper to Mr..
Walker, ana, from our knowledge of the Hon.
Secretary we have no doubt the sentiments Of
the editor will meet his hearty approval. 1t is
quite in Mr.. WIS line of business. Couldn't
Mr.. w. be persuaded to send off two or three
Regiments Of those thorough going chaps from
this State! It would bo highly gratifying and
a %reliefto those who remain behind Hell wri-
ting Of the California Regiment.
"Buti it strikeaus that there is one important
oversight in this matter, and which one able
statesman, R. J. Walker, rs a mamber Of the
Cabinet ought to have looked into. 1t is this,
that regiment ought to be entirely composed Of
thorough going anti-bonders and real subterra-
mean regulators, and at least one Battalion
Off ought to have been raised in the State Of
Mississippi.
M. D. de'Mafrasga recent and authentic writer,
and anintelligent Frenchman, says that the
Mexican Government owes England ten mil
lions, seven hundred and twenty thousand
pounds sterling, (about ffty-three and a half
millions d%ollars) 1t is generally asserted and
believed to be true, that the Mexican Govern
ment has given the English Bond holders a
mortgage or guarantee on the soil and territory
Of California, to secure the payment. IF such
q debt or pretended claim is 'not repudiated, the
territory o California would scarcely be worth
conquering or accepting as a gift, and as we
Mississippians understand this business practi-
cally, and are not afraid or ashamed to pay a
claim, founded upon o gaming or fraudulent
consideration, such as were the s~o-called State
bonds Of Mississippi, and such as the Mexican
debt, created for the very purpose of subvert-
ing the liberties of the people of that country.
MississipPians are the very boys who ought by
all means to have been entrusted with the Ia
king Of California; and rem wing all incumbran-
ces so as to have made our title TO the coun-
try clear and indis patqble.

rather an ignorant preacher, somewhere in
Tennessee, who had taken upon himself the
responsibility of pointing out to sinners the
straight and narrow way, 'ihere is none on ye
too poor, or too low to see Jesus, if ye want
to. There was ZacCheus-he was a small man
and low in stature--and when he wanted to
see. Jesus and couldn't, coz there was SIGH a
crowd round him, what did he do? He just
climbed up into a hollow sycamore tree and
looked through a wood-pecker's hole,n
This same individual, at a public meeting,
when his heart was OVERLOOKING with love,
thus addressed brother with whom he was not
on very good terms: Brother B., ! don't see
why you and | shouldn't be on good terms

CRors, &c.--For a week or two past the rain
has been abundant, to the great injury Of the
crop. The worm has made its appearance and
is reported 10 be doing much damage in all parts
Of the county. Some sickness, but generally
healthy, The planters, generally will COM
mence picking next week. Some few COM
menced this week. This is full month later
than last years picking.
For the satisfaction Of our own folks, we
would say that the army worm and caterpillar
are destroying the crop in the lower part Of
this State and Louisiana. In parts Of the Red
River country the crops are said to be COM
pletely ruined. In portions If Texas the pros
pect is very unfavorable, owing TO heavy rains.
We think it would be good policy not to hurry
the crop into market, but wait until something
more definite as to the amount Of loss by late
seasons, worms, &C., can be ascertained.
