These gentlemen enlightened the whole Of
this community on their claims to the suifrages
and support Of the voters Of this Congressional
District, last Saturday. There was a large
aasemblage IN The Court House, and among
tie listeners We noticed quite a number Of ba-
dies fair. The discussion was conducted with
al that courtesy which becomes gentlemen,
and although many keen thrusts were given,
the lancet, and not the c%leaver, was used. To

HEUDEBERT.-In his speech at this place on
Monday last Mr.. M'Wiliie wrung in the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Heudebert, as Consul at Ly-
ons, and endeavored to make capital out Off
to fuvorthe designs Of Democracy, in which
he animadverfed on the ruthlessness of Gem
eral Taylor in appointing so humble an indi-
yidual rs Mr.. Heudebert to office. This is in
perfect keeping no doubt, with the7personal
feelings Of Mr.. M'Willie, as we'll as many
other distinguished democrats Of tho present
day, and we particularly wish the people ot
Alfalfa to bear this fact in mind at the cleo
ton, that according to his (M'Willie's) no.
tons of what is just and righS no person from
the humber walks Of life, no matter how HON
est or capable he may be, has the right to hold
office in this democratic government of ours
A pretty homily this, that none but the ced-
fish aristocracy, composed of such men as Mr..
M'WillieY shall hold office. Then we say
again, bear this fact in mind people OF Alfalfa,
for If Mr.. M'Willie is elected to Congress, he
will according to his own professions, use
his influence against the appointment of any
such men as You to Office, because, forsooth,
you do not come up to Mr.. M'Willi''s STAN
dard Of Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.

~ What does the Mississippian mean
The organ seems 10 have lost the sense it was
born with. Last week il had an article in de-
fence Of Quitman's conduct IN excluding the
Chickasaw members from the Legislature.
And d most curious thing twas. Unjust be
kept in mind that the organ donouncedhim At
the time as a leader in that transaction; and the
thing itself as a moral outrage and political IN
fanny. 1t nav defends Quitman by saying
that Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. Prentiss, and 9th
er Wings were as guilty as Quitman. We.
don't exactly know how the argument CT? is
to turn, orswhich way the poiat Of il is. AT
first reading one would SUPPOSE that J. Hen
derson, orS. 3. Prentiss, or any other Wing of
that day, were the Cass nominee for Governor,
that they would go for him heart and soul.
And this view is strengthened BY the fact that
Quitman was the most rabid Wing Of that
time, and by his ultra views tended to keep
that party permanently il a minority in this
State; and after placing il in this predicament
abandoned it.
But on a cIoserreoding of the article, It seems
to be tolerably clear that this was not %exactiy
what the Editors were after. Their object
seems TO have been to show that Quitman is
innocent because Henderson ard Pr miss were
guilty! We would like TO know, however,
why the converse is not true, aid TO be in
formed why Henderson pnd Prontiss are not in.
~nocont because -Quitman is guilty. Tehre
seems to be exactly the SAM amount and kind
of evidence to support this view that there is
to sustain the other, with this prepOnderance
of weight in favor Of the last. Quitman istht
only man Of Them who has abandoned his OLD
party associates and become the seeker Of Of
fee al the hands Of his denouncers. And thi,

j guished Wing, was the most prominent cham

Great Fire-Five Steamboats, Burned.

Great e-F Burned'
At half past II O'Clock last night the steam
boat Falcon was discovered to be on fire about
midships. A strong north wind was blowing
at the time, and the flames were almost immO-
diately communicated to the steamer Illinois,
lying alongside below, and the Aron Hart and
North America above. The fire ragged with
extreme fury, and despite the efforts Of the
fremer, the officers and crew, the Marshall
Ney, lying next the Illinois, also shared the
same fate. The Robert Morris raised steam
enough to push nf; she caught from the in
tense heat Of the burning boats, but the fire
was soon extinguished with very slight dam
age. The Luna, American and other boats
above were saved by thu. space between them
and the fire, although in great danger at the
time from the sparks, which flew thick and
fast upon their decks. Nothing was saved
from the boats burned, with the exception Of a
small quantity Of baggage; the rapid progress
Of the flames prevented more than a hasty exit
Of the passengers and crews, and perhaps the
r%escuing of 1.-THE boats books. On the Marshall
Ney they had time to fully effect this, but mot
to move any 1.-THE valuable cargo. Some
freight and several piles Of tarpaulins were
turned upon the leyee.
The Falcon, Capt Richards, was a newboat.
We gave a description Of her, copied from one
Of the Louisv lie papers, a few weeks since,
She arrived from Paducab, yesterday morning,
f%reighted with bacon, w%hiskey, etc and had
unIoaded but a small portion Of her freight,
part Of which was also composed OF l79 bales
Of cotton.
The Illinois, Beethoven, arrived yesterday
from st. Louis. Her freight consisted Of 1900
bbls OF -four, $4,000 sacks of salt, 1900 kegs O
lard, 80 hhds tobacco, besides bacon, potatoes
etc. chad discharged but a small portion o.
her cargo. On board Of this boat there were
several farmers from the West with their pro.
duce, which was all lost, leaving them on thu
Levee, without money or clothes.
The Aron Aatt, Captain Countain Kountz
was UP for Cincinnati, to start to day at5P. M
She had a large freight on board for that por
and Louisville. The Marshall Ney, Captain
+ Barnard, Vas receiving freight for St. Louis
A large amount of merchandise for the Yves
was destroyed with her.
d We could not learn, owing to the latenea
, Ofthe hour, further particulars. We under
; stand that the North America was also heavil
J. freighted, but in the confusion that prevaiIe
it wasimPossible e CLEAN much information
The loss Of private property, baggage, none,
etc, is said to be very large AS the passengo,
generally saved nothing. We do not know III

CEN. QUITMAN SMOKED QUIZ
The last Mississippian contains a list q
uboat twenty appointment for Sem Qpitman
-muny of die points designated being ihe
same us those embraced in Mr.. LEAFS tour,
Ii seems, therefore, that though the General is
averse TO 8 drawing crowds for MT. Lea be IS
not unwilling to 6llog that gentleman 10 the
canvass! This is not exactly the course that
most honorable opponents would pursue 'ney
would generally, we OPine, think it more fair
and manly to meet an opponent face to iace'
Than first to refuse to do SO, and then crawl
alter him!
On his way from Natchez to jackson, Gen.
,Qnitman remarked wilhsome surprise thai his
friends about the Capital had been writing and
sending for him very frequently Of late, and
seemed at a loss TO understand the cause OF
their anxiety 10 see him. He has had this
explained, and the result is a number Of APP
pointmenls for him 10 address the people in
the wake Of Mr., Lea. The latter was at Ok
ford on the nth ult Gen. Quitmsn will be
there on the 18th inst; Lea was at Holly
Springs on the god ult. Quitman will be there
IN the 18th inst Lea vas at Kosciusko, Lou
isvilIe, )Jacinto, Fulton, and other places, dur
ing the latter part Of September and Quitlnan
will be after him on the same track in the early
part of October. This IS really a beautiful,
hlgh-minded, open-handed sort Of opposition!
Surely the party that employs il must have a
very peculiar idea of what is equitable and
hon orable among political opponents Drop
ping the figure and speaking plainly, we never
saw d more sneaking, SIX ulking and disrePuta-
Bile mode Of carrying on a canvass. We
expected nothing better Of the wire pullers OF
the partyi but we did not think General Quit
man himself would be forced into such a resort
