We publish, 10 day, the announcement Of
this gentleman as a candidate for reelection
to the Office Of Judge the High Court Of
Errors and Appeals: his present term ofsix
years expiring on the 9th and 9th ofNovem-
Der next.
During the time for which Judge Thacher
has held his high office, tho Court has held its
sIttings at Jackson, where our attention has
been constantly drawn TO the duties OF his
office, and the mode in which he has met and
discharged them. From all we have TINS
seen and know, we say with pleasure, thu
we regard him as one OGthe most useful, en-
ligbtened and accomplished Judges whom
we have ever had upon the bench in Alississ
ippi We know this 10 be strong language,
but we mean il as such, and in il we will b.
born out as well by the members the bar as
the unniriated looker-on. During his entire
term Of six years, never has the High Court
met when he was not at his post, nor has it sa,
a single hour when he was not upon The bench.
10 disposing Of the immense mass OF busi-
ness crowdinglour dockels, be has borne more
than his share. In the Ten volumes Of Smedes
&MarshaIl's Reports, now published, ard in
the ;,oo soon to appear, will be found the rec
ORD of hs abors. From these reports, i,
will be seen that the abjudicalions upon the
criminal law of the State have been entrusted
entirely TO his hands, while of the balance OF
the business be has discharged an equal a.
mount with one associate, and for more than a.
nother;& rightly was the latter so, for, througha
service Of fifteen year, has the renowned chief
Justice won his lofty eminence, and he might
well claim respite in the labors, oihis junior as
sociate. For an effort at such emulation,
Judge TEACHER was fitted by his acquired and
natural talents. He has brought TO the task
a temper, cool and circumspect, firm and
resoute maintenance Of his own views when
once malurely iormed-a thorough knowl-
edge of the ancient and modern learning OF bis
Observation-Disclosures industry and research;
an intellect without passion or prejudice, phi
losophoca by nature and training, and the
whole enlightend and enlarged by polished
taste for litarature and fund OF general in
formation. With such qualities, how he has
succeeded we have already expressed our
opinions, and we believe it meets the assent
of all. We can veil hope that no such men,
upon the bench or at the forum, long may our
State entrust the rights and the interest Of her
citizens.-M,s,i,s,ppias.

GEN. TAYLOR AND HIS FRIEN DIS.

Many ofthe Democrats have predicted that the
Wings would prosecute Taylor to death as they
did Harrison. According to the following ex.
tract from letter written at Washington by Par
son BrownIow. ofthe Jone sboro' Wing" there
is prospect of those prophecies being fulfilled.
He says on the subject
"Stout as Gen. Taylor naturally isas much
toll and hardship as he has undergone-he is now
literally used up, and is daily becoming more
feeble. He stands on his feet all day long, and
mixes with the crowd shaking hands and talking.
At night, for half the night at least, he is in
counsel with his political friends, upon the sub.
ject Of his future course Of policy, and Of the in.
terests ofthe country. No man on earth can
stand il, and his looks show that he cannot. He
is more fatigued now and more worn down than
Harrison was on the fifth day after his Inaugural
ton. Ipredct now, that his friends will kill him
in less than three months, and certainly do it
in no unknd spirit toward the brave old soldier.
He complains Of his side, as he did in my pres.
ence, and says il pains him very much at night.
This is the effect Of the fall he got in Indiana
In shaking hands with his right hand, he grasps
his wrist with his left hand, as sort Of protec>
tiou. repeat, these office seekers, aud Office.
holders and hauerers will kill him."

RAILROADS IN THE UNITE D STA

RAILROADS IN THE UNITE ID STATES
There is nothing connected with modern civil
lization more important or interesting than the
achievements OF science in facilitating commerce
and communication between the different portions
of the globe. And in no country, when all cir
cumsiances are considered, have those achieve.
men's been greater than in the United States
England with the accumulat d wealth Of ceutu.
ries OF civIIiza ion and maritime supremacy, may
surpass US in the magnfcenCe OF her iron roads
and the speed of her locomotives, but no other
nation can even equal US. France is sgntIess
distance behind US. Yet, compared with France,
our nation Is nation Of yesterday. Seventy
three years ago out three millions of English
coonists inhabited our Atlantic coast and they
were sparsely scattered from the ST. Lawrence
sovereign $ ates, and the three millions Of nhab.
itants have increased to nearly twenty-five mil
lions. They are no longer confined to the cas-
tern margin of our continent. They have rapid.
ly assembled the Appalachian chain, passed over
the valley of the Mississippi, on to the Rocky
mountains, like an inundating wave throwing
its spray even to the shores ofthe Pacific. Stead
lily they have advanced, cOnqueringh The wilderness,
building cities, planting communicable, filling
them with high hearted free rnen, and giving unto
all the ;nestimable blessings Of free Institutions.
Such has been the rapid growth Of our country.
The thirteen colonies are now thirty sovereign
States united together, and with public domain
extending flom the northern lakes to The Rio
Grande, and on to the shores OF the peaceful
ocean There are many men who remember
when our nation was poor and despIsed. Those
men are yet in the vigor OF life; and they now
see US great and powerful, our commerce whilen
ing every sea, and our flag known aad respected
in every land.
1t would be not an Improbable task to trace
the progress of our great achievements, and note
the various energies which have produced ouI
prosperity; but that task belongs to the Slorian
and the philosopher. If the historian record,
faithfully, and the philosopher reasons justly, they
will attribute the great work which has been per
formed on the western continent to the noble gov
eminent which was established by our revolu'
tinary fathers. The freedom OF speech and o
the press, the safety oil person and Of property
and the equal rights guaranteed to all by our free
institutions, have but produced their Legitimate
effects Intelligent labor and enlightened enter
prise, looking to the government only as shield
and defence against violence and wrong. have

The expense Of manufacturing at Jackson
