We would just say to the satpetre Quaker of
the Washington Southern Press, that we think
we can hardly notice him any more. Since the
overwhelming defeat Of his party in Georgia, his
paper has become too unimportant an affair to
engage the attention of the Louisville Journal.
Fisher ought to be thankful hereafter even fora
notice from the Louisville emocrat.-LouiS-

We would just say to the hemp-threatening
Yankee, ex-schoolmaster Of the Louisville Jour-
nal, that we are not surprised that he should
measure his respect for us, by the number of
those who agree with us. He treated Mr.. CLAY
in the same manner. Although warm admi-
rer Of him as we'll Of us, the journal deserted
him the moment it was found that General

The Union of yesterday published from the
Jackson (AIiss.) "Flag Of The Union' the follow
ing flaming account:
The Great Mass Meeting in Jackson on Monday
the 18Th Of November.
We would as soon hope to give full and
graphic picture of the Falls of Niagara to one
who had never seen this great wonder of nature
rs to do justice to the Union mass meeting held
in this city on Monday last. 1t was truly
rally for the Union, and rally from nearly all
parts of the State. We had men from the east
and the west, the north, south, and centre,
and all hearts seemed to have one impulse, and
all minds one purpose and one oblect-and that
the preservation of the glorious Union, and the
vindication Of the wisdom and patriotism of our
fathers and ourselves in the formation, defence,
and perpetuation ofthe government of our com
mon country. At an early hour the crowd be-
gan to assemble in front of the Capitol with
fine band ofmusic, and the emblem of the Union,
with all its stars and stripes, streaming and way
ing over us.
At ii o'clock, n. m, the procession marches
to the City Hall, where very soon a large and
crowded assembly filled the hall and nearly as
many were collected about the south side of the
building, in n window of which Temporary
stand had been erected for the speakers.
We are told by gentleman, a member Of
Congress, that this mighty procession, this Nj
agara of numbers, this voice of many waters,
numbered, as the vast cataract poured down the
street in procession, only about serenity persons!
A letter received this evening from Jackson
