CANDIDATES For CONGRESS-.

On Friday evening last, Messrs. Gray and
Neville addr, ssed the people OF Yazoo City
Col, Melville spoke frst-occupying about
an hour and q half, in a recapitulation OF the
substance, and pretty much the same language,
Of the old speech he made throughout the Dis
trict last year. He has, however, added alittle
TO his y~eGrling-that affecting part about old
Armstrong's head being cut off-wherein he
cries most interestingly. We are told he cried
IN Benton over the same sad recital OF the
bloody t~yrant's, Gen TaylOr's) butcherioS-
though il did not have much effect on his OPP
%pohsnt, Mr.. Gray, because he has heard 1t all
through the district--or on some Of the audience,
who had heard him in Lexington. Neverthe-
Less, among the unintiated the story got MN
the credit Of being atender hearted old gentle
man. with a corresponding s%oltness OF head.
When he had wiped his eyes, like poor
Nancy Ray in the nursery song ne went on

DEATH OF Coz, 6. S. CooK.-we are much
panied to learn the death Of Col.G.s $. Cook
Of Coahoma county. The painful circumstance
by which he came to his %untimely enc, has been
related to us. 1t seems that himself and 9th
ers were on a bear hunt; that the party got
separated and all but Cook returned home.
On tho next day the party returned IN pursuit
Of him, when, painful to relate, his remaine
were found in a deep hole in the bayou, and
it was apparent that life had been long extinct
1t is supposed that in attempting to get some
water, his foot had slipped, and from his weak
condition, he was unable to extricate himself.
A Coroner's-inquest returned a verdict OF acct
dental death by drowning. Col. Cook was q
brave and chivalrous man, and possessed OF ex-
cellent virtues in private life, At the time OF
the melancholy accident, he was a candidate
for the Legislature. His friends will deeply
regret his untimely departure -Mts''sSipp'a"

THE 9 DIFFICULTY.

II is we'll understood that the President of
the French Republic has no good feeling for
the sister Republic of the Quite States. or
the truth Of the statement, heretofore given,
that Louis Bonaparte had declared, that II
France was to engage in war with any power,
it would be with the United States, there ap
pears to be no doubt. A singular develop
ment has recently been made, which discovers
another very Significant sign. II seems that
not only has Poussin, the French Minister,
been acting according to instructions, but that
the offensive letter of De %Tocque,ille to Mr..
Clayton, was to defend himself, who, in conse-
quence Of his ignorance of the law Of salvage,
had committdd himself by his instructions to
Poussin.
There is not a jur;st in the country who will
say, that commander Carpenter was not enti-
tied to salvage; it will also be conceded that
he had night to detain the Eugene, not merely
under the general maratime law Of lien, but
under the recognized law Of Mexico, which
allows the salvOr to detain the vessel saved,
untikbond is given for the payment Ofthe sal
wage, to be assessed by the Mexican judicial
tribunals. M. De Tocqueville, who, although
a literary Sausn, is ignorant Of national law,
insisted, first, that salvage could never be
claimed unless vessel was bilged; and second,
that salvage could never be claimed by a ma
tional vessel, or man Of war, and instructed
Pnussin accordingly. In these erroneous views
he receives support from no source except the
democratic French organs in the United States,
who, in their extreme anxiety to take sides
against their own country, stultify themselves
in sustaining the views Of the French Minister
and which are avOwedly at variance with al
law, usage and precedent. One would sup
pose, that these %oracles of democracy, who arr
usually such sticklers for the infallibility o
democratic authority, would have deferred tt
the o%piniOns Of Mr.. Folks Ministers, hOweve
disposed they might be to scout Wing aulhori
ty. Mr.. Clifford, Mr.. Folks late Attorne,
General and then Minister to Mexico, and Mi
Mason, the late Secretary Of the Navy-bot
approved Of commander Carpenters conduct
The q TONS of these two ex-funclionarie
together with Mr.. Clayton and Mr.. Reverb
johnson, we should say, ought, in America
: minds, to weigh down the crude judgment of
thousand De TOcquevilles.
: Another fact has also been developed col
nected with this affair. 1t seems that the.Mel
- leans took the initiative in this matter, and
!, series of most abusive articles appeared in Il
!. Mexican papers, denouncing Carpenter for b
seizuve Of the Eugene. These articles we
! sent to France, and were the provocatiol
: which urged on Tocqueville to the absurd al
ridiculous course which he has pursued, al
: from which he is at a loss how to extrica
himself.

Liverpool was very quiet when The Caledonia

reposed entire confidence. His informant had
seen some fifteen individuals Of the race, all
with the characteristic conformation. Then
