The INSANE AND THE BLIND.-The Jackson
correspondent of the Vicksburg Wing gives
the following account Of two Of our State IT,
stitutions.
The Lunatic Asylum, located in Jackson,
has nearly come TO a full stop in the very pro-
cess Of erection. Your readers will r%ecOllect
that the last Legislature decided that one
should be built, and appointed the necessary
officers, but failed 10 make en- appropriation
large enough to finish, or indeed more than
commence it. This policy prevailed although
the Treasury is overlooking, and nc provision
whatever is made in this State for the mainte-
nance of that unfortunate portion OF our PoPu-
latiOn. This policy of dealing out our public
funds by Titles is much like the Hibernisn,
who boiled his egg a lille at a time, then cool
ed it to see how it was progressing. If you
should be passing at any time along the Can
ton road, two miles north Of town, aud notice
q big hole dug, with some faint indications of
foundation walls, have faith and you will be-
lieve in the Lunatic Asylum. What the poor
crazy creatures will do in the meantime, is au-
other matter.
While on this subject another grievance pre-
sents itself, viz; the State School for he Blind
The same Legislature established this, and up
on the same system. Only $4,000 was apprO.
priO'ed, although $4,000 was needed, and the
consequence was, that living on starvation al.
lOwanee, has nearly killed the thing off. The
present Principal, Mr.. Lave, has labered with
great asslduity and skill, and as far as his de-
Partment is concerned no fault can be found
neither is there any thing reprehensible witt
the officers or Trustees but there a~re,only fund
for FIVE pupils, whom fifty demand attention
and unless the next Legislature act in q NOR,
generous spirit, they may as well be still an,
do nothing.

A SINGULAR AFFAR.-On last Thursday
Marshall L. Holman, residing at present W
miles below here on the Jackson road, gave in
formation before Justice McCary that a young
man calling himself Jonathan J. McClain, alias
John jackson, had disclosed to him that he be-
longed to a gang of land pirates, and that he
had succeeded, whilst at Sharon, in the adjoin-
ing county Of Madison, (where he had been
spending some time in the capacity Of a shoe
maker) in decoying of some four negroes from
that neighborhood, and had sent them to Bea.
ties Bluff, to another Of the gang, named Cren-
shaw, who was to take them into Arkansas,
and there dispose of them, and that he (Mc-
clain) was making his way up into Chickasaw
county where he was TO meet Crenshaw on
the 9Th Of July, to receive his share Of the pro-
ceeds.
A warrant was issued and McClaiu taken
into custody, and a compulsory p.OcesS for the
informer, breed in charge of A. P. Boyd, the
Sheriff Of this county, who conveyed him to
Madison county, and gave him in charge Of
the proper authorities there. When Mr.. Boyd
left the matter was undergoing investigation,
but he was unable to state what had ~trOnspir-
ed relative to the guilt or innocence ofM'Clain,
KosiuscO Pilot.
We understand that the above case was ex-
arnined into before G. P. Moore Esq. in sha-
ron. The infOrmer and the accused were botl
believed to be men of bad character, SO bad
that one could not be believed on oath, or the
other on his confession. We rather incline
to the opinion that it is bad imitation Of the
Virgil A. Stewart matter. We may be able
next week to give an account Of the testimo-
ny, which will show that "some things can be
done as well as Others" ED. CREOLE,

Our fellow-townsman, MI. Thomas Palmer ,
the proprietor, and publisher of the SouthrOn
has returned to his post from aprotracted visit
at the north. We are not sure, however, that
the word " protracted" is correct, when we
consider what he accomplished in the short
Of siG months. dc superintendent the Publica-
ton of Mr.. Scott's work on "Freemasonry,'
and its mechani cal execution fully evidences
that that duty was faithfully performed; and
what is still higher importance, being fully inn
pressed with the words OF the Almighty, " it
is not good that man should be %alone," he took
unto himself a help meet, to share his joys and
sorrows through the journey Of life. We sin
cerely congratulate him, and hope there are
many years of peace, happiness and usefulness
in store for him and her who are now made
one Star Of Temperance.

The Doylestown Democrat makes itself mer-
ry at the idea that the cholera, which did not
make its appearance in this country under Mr..
Folks administration, has suddenly broken out
under Gen. TaylOr's.
"Why do you not thank Cod" said an Arab
Chief to his subjects, "that since | have been
your ruler, you have never been afflicted with
the plugue?" "GOd is too good to send two
sCOurges upon us at once" was the reply,

LmERAL.-In an article which we saw in q
Jackson Paper the Other day, the good people
Of this county are called upon to build a plank
road from this county to Jackson-for their
" benefit Of course. Jackson cannot have
any interest in plank road-if il were a Rail
Road, Jackson would be interested, and her
Citizens would subscribe liberally-Of course
they would. Considering the warm weather,
this proposition is decidedly cola good julep

The Scientific American gives some valua-
bic information in regard to the charging of
fire arms. 1t says that balls which fit accu.
rately the bore of a piece, have the greatest
effect, as they do not come out SO readily, but
give time for the greater quantity of powder
to ignite.
Wien the powder is rammed violently down
it's effect is no greater but somewhat less than
when barely pressed down with the ball up
on it.
Gunpowder around a ball diminishes its eff
feet, as it expands in all directions, and when
it is upon top oil the ball, it must in some mea-
sure act counter to its progress,
By taking a ball and putting a little powder
under and considerable before it, its effect may
be almost nullifed, an d yet there may be con-
siderable noise when the gun is discharged.
