There will also be found in our inside
communication signed BY several gentlemen,
containing, what is alledged to be, denial OF
the facts stated in the correspondence. The
late hour at which the communication was
handed ID, throws it in our advertising col

This is brief recital of the circumstances
under which these papers are introduced to
our readers.
We have Just receivedthe Union Beacon,
Of the 9th inst, containing Gov. Quitman's
letter to DIR. w. @. Poindexter, stating that
since his Examination for Governor he has
no recollection Of hdoiag euer acrittem atetter
to Carolina" He has ono recollection OF
having written such letter, "siace has ronn-
NATION, but admits before augmentation, /"
{ I endeayored.to present the issues which
were involved in our canvass, and MAY
have expressed the wish that South Carroll
ma WOULD NOT recede from the position
which she had assumed, and my HOPE and
expectation that Mississippi would maintain
the position Of resistance she had taken. +"
The Beacon says, "the following decisive
letter we find posted on the wall of a public
house on our streets The letter speaks for
itself, it virtually acknowledges the truth of
the Lewis letter, and even more. Hereafter
let no man deny. Quitman's position-he has
made it himself Let no Recolutiontst charge
us again with disappointing him. He did
not dare to deny the charge, and would not
directly disavow it. The die is cast, Quit
man is a doomed man; and Noxubee, that
was first to declare for the Union, is the first
to expose the hypocrisy of its great enemy.

ders of s. Carolina by all means to keep that
State upto the rack, tomake her secede; and
that although Mississippi is not ready for Sc
cession herself, and it will not dofor him (mc1
to take this stand, yet, if S. Carolina will on
ly bring on the issue, he % will maintain her

I have ever said, and sayno that main

of action. j. A. QUITMAN.
