Patricle III. TomnILins.

This distinguished and eloquent gentleman
has been suggested as a proper person to cast
the vote Of Mississippi in the Wing National
Convention which is to assemble in Philadel-
phia IN the 18th Of June next. The arguments
in favor Of this suggestion are based upon
three facts: 1t will be very difficult, in the
first place, to get a full delegation to attend
the Convention from Mississippi, for various
obvious reasons. In the second place, as
there are 10 be four district Conventions held
in the State, it is not likely that the separate
delegations will individually attend, even if
they should feel and act together in unison
In the third place, Congress will undoubtedly
be in session at the time-Mr. Tompkins will
be on hand-and he can easily be empowered
by the District Conventions to cast the vote of
Mississippi in favor of the individual whom
the Wings ofthe various districts shall select
as their candidate for the Presidency. Thhat G
viii be faithful to his trust-bold in the advo-
cacy Of the claims of the man whom his feI-
low Mississippi Wings shall select as their ia
vorite candidate in the coming con, est-clo-
qvont aud enthusiastic in vindicating the
fame and supporting the claims Of the Hero
of Boena Vista-no one who knows the noble
heart ofPat. Tompkins can fora moment doubt.
What say the wings of the State of Missis-
sippi to this suggestion? 1t was first made,
if we recoIlect Alright, by our contemporary Of
the Ficksburg Wing. A general expression
Of opinion should be bad on This subject, i'm
mcdiateIy, so that the ]various District Convon
tions may act together in concert.-Natches
Courier.

The above is the title of an unprotending
work just issued from the Yazoo City press.
We have only had time 10 glance over it, but
from what we have read we doubt not it will
be found deeply interesting. We suppose it
can be procured in Yazoo City, and we think
it the would be we'll to send copies for sale to
the Bookstcrcsi in this place.

one little piece Of advice TO give thee, and that

COMMERCIAL BANK OF NATcHEz.-Some of
our readers will be sorry to hear that Sam
Pucketrs testimony didn't do no good at this
term of'the Court. The rascally Bank went
and procured testimony hatknocked Puckett's
all in the head, and is now getting judgments
in plenty for the actual value of the money
loaned, without interest. This is awful hard
onIhose swell-heads who have been compelled
to use the money, or its proceeds for 0 or 10
years.

The machinery for a cotton factory has ar

po"er' and is said to be a very perfect piece

good to result from rhi first experiment of the

will soon be undertaken.

The BIBLE IN VIRGINIA." At a recent
meeting Of the Virginia Bible Society, in Rich

$1,000 white persons in Virginia over 90 years

D4NGERcuS CoUNrERFElr.--We saw Yesterday
a most dangerous counterfeit Victoria Sove-
reign, dated l842; it was most admirably exc
cuted, and wei, calculated to deceive the best
judges 1t is with the exception of being a
little thicker, (Which cannot be discovered by
the eye,) a perfect imitation of the genuine
there being no defect in the die by which it
can be detected. 1t rings well, but weighs l143
grains, being eight grains lighter than the
Brush Sovereign. .Itis doubtless composed of
the same metal as The recent counterfeits Of the
American half and quarter Eagle, but in our
opinion even better executed. People should
be very careful how they receive Victoria

JOHN JACOB AsTER.-The bady Of this Amc-
rican Crusus is at last consigned to the dust
from which it was taken; and his soul, (f he
had One,) if permitted to seek its appropriate
home and the god Of its worship, is doubtless
now supremely happy in the golden mines Of
Moxico or Peru-revelling in the contemplation
Of unbounded, but useless wealth. The tear
Of no widow or orphan, relieved by his chari-
~, bedews his grave-no prayers of the poor
that his benevolence has aided, like angel
wings, watt his soul to heaven. Cold, selfish
and unteeling, he died as he Iiyed-with none
70 love and none to bless him. Even the exu-
berant fancy Of city-item makers never used
the name Of John ]. Astor as the hero Of an
eccentric deco 81 charity, Il they have that Of
Girard. They knew too we'll that The insotia.
bic nav Of public credulity could not swallow
the improbable romance. Who, for the wealth
that he has left, would live tho life and dc the
death Of AsloF!

From nlnrtiniaHe.

A letter dated ST. Piene, July 1. says: "With
but very few exceptions the negroes continue 10
remain idle throughout the island, and of what
remains Of the present crop a great portion will
be lost. French vessels continue TO arrive in
ballast, AMI with no specie Very little sugar i.
sent otowll, consequently there Is none TO ship.
More than twO-thInls OF the vessels now in port
(about twenty in numbeD viii have 10 return
without freghls. These continual arrivals from
France, without provisions and merchandise OF
any kind, cause great appTehensions of famine
dunng the approaching hurricane months, and
the only assistance expected from Government
TO remedy this evil, viii be The opening OF the
ports Of the island Indeed, although for the
present our market Is pretty well supplied, still,
before two months from now, we shall be in the
greatest need Of all articles OF first necessity,
such as -four, beef, candles, soap, &C. &c; and
we must look to the United States for supply,
since it will undoubtedly be cut of from France
This will in the event Of its occurring, be very
favorable to shippers in the United States. We
have but few troops on the island, but some are
expected 10 arrive shortly from France. The Ma
lonal Guard has been constituted in this town
for the greater protection Of the property and
peaceof mind Of its inhabitants.-N y TTi-
