We have this morui ng very late news
from Cuba by the brig T~ehuantepec.
Trinidad and Villa Clara have both poo

vions accounts of the revolution are corro-

and thirty men, were captured at the river
Majaza, and one hundred and fifty or two
hundred of the Spanish troops killed or
drowned.
The patriots are determined to retaliate
on their prisoners. il the Cuban Govern

OF We see it announced that "iudicial
othcer' sharkey has appointments to adj
dress the public at Cooper's Wells, and
Jackson. The wings have been quoting
from the resolutions of the Mississippi Leg.
lslature of 1884, to sustain themselves.
They have adopted the resolutions as their
o'e'i, one of which is as follows
RcSotced, That we do unqualifedly con.
denim the conduct of all judicial officers
who instead OF sustaining the dignity, and
faithfully performing the duties connected
with their station, shall at any time become
violent political ag~itators.

Ut The report ola fight between
Gov. Quitman and Senator Foote is
true. We have received both of their
cards. Each lays the blame upon the
other, The probability is, that both
are blamable. Foote says he called
QuItmen a liar, and proceeded to
strike him. Quitman says Foote is a
liar, and he not only struck him, but
give him the benefit of a kick in the
rear.

Col Tenus0 Position.

II We are to take the speeches Of Col.
Vcntress as an evidence Of his political plat
form, it is peysoaaL opposition to Gov.
Quitman. Mr.. V. reads Gov Quitman's
message to the extra session, of the Legis-
%lature, in detached sentences, and critici-
ses them in such a manner as to make the
Governor a Disuuionis;. ia the same way
Col. V. could garble the Bible, and make it
appear there is no God. It is an unfair sys-
TEN Of warfare, -uniair, because the gen.
tleman whom he attacks is not his oppo-
nent, nor is he aware that such attacks are
being made uponbim.
Col. Ventress says he disapproyes of the
Compromise, that it is unjust to the South
so does Gov. Qnitman here they agree.
Col. Ventress thinks the South ougth to
demand redress for the loss of California
50 does Gov, Quitmau here they agree
again.' Gov, Quitman recommended hat
the Congress give back a portion of Cali
iornia, by the cement of that State, TO the
South, as a redress, Col. Ventress recon-
mended that Congress take Cuba for that
redress. Here then, is the only difference.
Both admit the South has been wronged
and both say she should be redressed-they
differ only as to the redress and yet Col.
Nentress makes a speech of an hour aud a
half IN length to prove hat Gov. Quitman
IS a disunionist, and he a Unionist. lfCol.
Ventress would do Gov. Quitman the JUS
tlce to read his entire message, and his bet.
ter to the Mlssissippian, the people would
see that Gov. Qmtman recommends seces-
sion, only when every means of compro.
mise is exhausted-and that even here, he
will yield to the opinion of the majority of
the State as the expediency of secession.
The October convention was composed
OF wings and democrats. In this county,
in 1919. Mr.. Simrall introduced a resolu-
ton at a wing meeting, pledging the wing
party to go as far as the democratic partv
to secure Southern rights. Gen. Cooper
represented the democratic and G.. B. N.
Wales represented the wing party in that
Convention. They declared they would
not submit 10 the Wilmot proviso in any
form, and recommended a Southern Con.
gress, Gen. Foote, declared that the admis.
sion of California was the Wilmot proviso
IN another form, and asked how he, as the
Senator OF a Southern State should vote
upon that admission. lie was instructed
to vote against it. lie lodged the vote
but has since shownh his disregard of his in
structlons by approving the compromise III
toto.
Gov. Quitman, the Legislature, Col. Da.
Wis, our four representatives, and Cot. Ven
treSs, all disapproved of Foote's course, ard
condemned the Compromise, to as late as
last December. Col. Ventress is the only
one who has receded from his position and
the October platlorm-and he now denoun.
ces Gev, QuitmaH for adhering to that plat.
form. lie has received the nomination Of
the wing party is running with wings, and
is supported by wing papers for office, Yet
he says he has not changed-that he is a
democrat and asks for democrats votes.
We call upon our friends to examine his
position for themselves-to look at facts,
and then vote knowingly for the Conven.
ton.

Memphis and its surroundings, we
have authentic intelligence hat the

as to inaict an injury beyond remedy

impossible to make more than four

fact that three>fOurths of the entire

easily be pronosticated.

bushel of salt,
25 pounds of sulphate Of magncsia, and
3 gallons Of oil,

If you have no ashes and cannot conven-
