U-The Richmond Enquirer of the
9th inst, says:
The Winchester (Va.,) Virginian learns
that the greater part of the white popula.
ton of Harrisburg took part against the
fugitives, joined the Southerners, and drove
back the free negro mob. Our impression
is that the people generally at the North,
with the slightest encouragement from
their press and politicians, would do their
whole duty promptly and manfully by THEN
Southern brethren.

Union Feeling I'm Mississippi,

-r s. -
The friends of the Union in Mississippi
are rallying iii their might. In many
portions Of the State large meetings are
being held. Tie bone and sinew of the
State are gathering together, and their
motto is "The Union and the ColstittI-
ton" The measures of adjustment re-
Gently passed by Congress meet with a
hearty sanction from the people. This is
what we have alwas expected from Mis-
sissippi, for, although she has been set
down as ultra Calhoun on the Southern
question, we felt assured that time would
develope the love Of her people for the
Union.
On Monday last there was an immense
meeting OF the Unionists at Raymond,
Kinds county, and on Monday next there
will be a grand demonstration of the
same kind in Natchez. The call for the
meeting i'll the latter place es signed by
over five hundred persons.
Every true patriot will rejoice while
Witnessing these demonstrations of patri.
otism. And well he may, for such upri.
sings of the people show how deeply
and firmly an abiding love for the Union
is implanted in their hearts.
Would it not be well to ha We a grand
Union Jubilee here-at the capital of Lou.
isiana-so that our people may publicly
express their qualification at the passage
of the measures of compromise and con.
citation!

MRS MILLER.-We take tile following
from the y. Y. Courier and Enquirer:
We learn, from a source fully entitled
to credit, that Mrs. Miller, whose sudden
disappearance and supposed suicide at
Niagara Fails, ELECTED so much remark n
few months since, has within a few DAYS,
returned TO the home of her father, the
late Senator NorvelI, at Detroit, Mich.
who has died during her absence. The
stories with which the press has teemed
about her having gone to Europe in com-
pany with a gentleman, &c, are wholly
.unfounded. She returns of her own ac-
cord, drawn mainly, we believe by a strong
desire to see her children. Her mind seems
to be dlsordered, and, it is. supposed by her
friends, that her absence was induced bv
the strong religious excitement under
winch she has been laboring for some
time.

Most OF Our merchants are now receiv.
lug their supplies Of Fall Goods, and, as a
natural consequence, the stir of business
has somewhat enlivened our town. But,
owing to the backward condition of the
crops, generally, as well as other unlavor.
able circumstances, we do not anticipate
that the season will fairly fol
several weeks.
We doubt whether any interior town in
the valley Of tie Mississippi offers better
inducements to purchasers of elegant and
light goods of every description, of heavy
eooos, o or piantation supplies, OF ali
varieties, than Baton Rouge, and we res
pectfttlly take the liberty of advising the
planters of this and adjacent parishes to
call aud examine home stocks before 6lliu q
city orders. If they purchase at home
they will have the satisfaction of personally
inspecting the articles they need, which is.
Oh Itself, n great advantage, and if they
can make as good bargains, every consider
alton OF true policy dictates that they
sho aid encourage home enterprise. We
trust they will make the experiment, Mt all
events.
