GONMlE4GAAAt
OmrUARY.--Mrs. MARtA L, HALEY, wife o.
Maj. D. W. Haley, was born in Tennessee
August 22d 1907. In 1882 she sought and OBJ
tanned religion; joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church and lived a faithful member until her
death. No matter whether in prosperity OF
adversely, in health, or sickness, she was the
same consistent christian.
When we told her of her certain death, a
of beauty beamed from her cOuntenance
while she thanked the Lard she had-a home "
Heaven. Said her weeping husband, my deal
wife what shall l do? She gave her hand and
said, inject me in Heaven and do the best you
can for the children
A short time before she expired she called
US to her and said, tell my brothers and sis
tiers all is well, ell is wellI bright; my way is
clear across the valley Of death.'
She was taken in the strength OF her years
on the 28th September, having just passed her
birthday. 2. W. s.

News from Mexico.

at the time Of writing we have no reliable
and positive news from Mexico. 1t is, howev-
er, asserted positively by one who came over
insthe James L. Day, that General Smith was
nOtkilIed; that Gen. Worth was acting as
Governor Of she city Of Mexico on the oath of
September, that letters which make mention Of
cur losses, say nothing of'Gen. Pillow as kill
cd or wounded. This information the Plea
yune derives from Maj. Capers, bearer Of des-
patches from TampicO. Accounts from Eng
fish sources set our loss down at 470 or 80,
killed and wounded-of officers q killed, 45
wounded. The Mexican loss is estimated
at 5000 killed and wounded. 1t is also repor.
ted that after Santa Anna left the city the
lsperos commenced plundering the city. Also
it is rumored that Santa Anna has resigned and
that tho supreme power has devolved on Pena
Pena and two associates. There are many
other rumors which we forbear noticing as we
hope to receive our New Orleans papers now
due before going to press, We subjoih the fol-
lowing lettes from Vera Cruz Of Sept. 25th.
aleiaa VERA Cruz, Sept. Is, l847.
7 have just seen a note from Maj. LaIly da-
ted the 23d inst. at JaIapa, in which he states
that every thing was quiet there, not having
had an alarm for a month. He says that the
wound he received on the road to that place,
in the neck, came very near killing him, but
il IL now doing quite well. From letters
that arrived by the same conveyance there are
a hundred rumOrs from Gen. SCOTS command
and but Oae important Item which can be re-
lied upon, and that is a proclamation from SAINT
Annain which the people Of Mexico are in
formed thath has resigned the office Of Pres.
idenl Of thesRepublic, and that Senior Pena
y Pena has been initiated in his place, Our city
has become remarkably healthy.
Gen. Scott n he oily Of Merico-The off,
cial dispatches have not yet arrived from the
army, but the surrender Of the capital is now
placed beyond doubt. 1t is extremely gratify-
ingto US, as friends Of humanity, to learn that
Santa Anna retreated from The city, and saved
Gen. Scott the alternative of destroying it and
shedding innocent blood. We hope the Mexi-
can people will soon see the necessity of peace,
and use oil Honorable means calculated to bring
about q result 90 desirable to all. The coun-
sci Of ambitious and designing military men
prevail ng over those Of her less pretending
bat certainly more i%udicious citizens, have 100
long swayed the dectinies Of the nation.

The Congressional EleOtion.

From late accounts, we areled to entertain the
highest hopes that the delegation Of Missis.
sippi will be equally divided in the next con-
gress-a consummation d%evoutly to be wished.
There is not a shadow of a doubt of Colonel
NcCiung'S election; andso surely as the wings
OF the third District do their entire duty, they
will elect Mr.. Tompkins. We do not speak
unadVlsedly in this matter; there are we re-
peat It, indubitable evidences that he can be
%electedi and that he will be, if the Wings
OF the District are true to themselves. We
hope, in view of certain facts which we have
received from other counties, that the wings Of
Warren and Kinds will suffer no falling oil in
their vote, as compared with that cast at the
last election. Let them increase il if possible;
but by no means suffer it to be lessened. We
know, as fully as any future event can be known
that Mr. Roberts will not receive so large a vote
as he did in 1916. There UiH be a falling of in
every county. He will receive in the county
Of Warren, alone one hundred votes less than
she gave him at the last election. His sup
port in Kinds will be greatly weakened; and
so OF other counties that We could name His
defeat by a majority Of 200 will crown the
united efforts of the wings of the Distnct.-
But unless every Wing feels interest enough in
the election, merely to cast his vote, he will
deserve defeat, and, more than that, will re-
ceive his desert.
We will not urge this subject upon the
Wings, by stating that the next Congress will
be the most important, to the South. Of aDv
cOnvenened for many years. This remark Is
as old as the origin Of parties in our country.
We leave it to every man, however, 10 deter
mine this matter for himself, in view Of tbe
great questions which will be discussed and
may be subjected to final action, during next
winter.
1t is our duty to say thus mueh-and leave
therest with those who are intimately eoncern.
ed. We see plainly the possibility d ~suecesa.
its contamination depends, as we have said. nm.
