TIE DINNER 10 GENERAL QrnaAN, AT JACKSON,
Miss. General John A. Quitman partook of a
public dinner, rendered BY his friends AT Jackson,
on the 18th instant. The M,ssissiyian gives the
following version Of his remarks made on that oe-
casion :-'' IL was due TO himself, and TO the null
titude who surrounded him, that he should devote
a portion Of his remarks to the proceedings which
had been the remote occasion Of this imposing de-
moustriton. After expressing, in affecting term J.
the deep sense Of gratitude that swelled his bosom
for the continued confidence and appreciation which
had been 80 sgnally manifested by his fellow
citizens, he alluded 90 the prosecution against him
by the government, and again declared that he had
no participation whatever in the Cuban expedition
-that be peremptory refused to participate in IT,,
notwithstanding the repeated and urgent solicta-
tions that were made TO him. lie said there was
not a scutilla Of evidence against him, and those
WHO pursued him with such bitterness well knew t.
Tie chief motive that influenced them was the
bumblirg Of sovereign state before the majesty
Of the central goyefnm by forcing its chict exc
cuite officer 10 the alternative Of gnng, per-
hitting it, dignity TO be lowered in his person
The Islander IN connection With the state arms, was
also denounced in becoming terms. lie next al
vortcd to lis own position on the all-absorb,ng
topics Of the day, and corrected the false aud IN
warrantable constructions which had been placed

Inquiry, however, developed that was in honor Of
the anniversary Of great fought battle. But the
people said the battle Of the Resacca de la Palma
was fought on the 9th and not on the 18th of May,
and that they knew Of no great battle which had
been fought on that day. Then stepped forth
dark looking, fierce, moustachised individual, who
had been standing at the lannon's mouth, and pro-
claimed that 1t was the anniversary Of the battle
of Cardenas, in which the Filibusteros captured
that celebrated town, and drove the tyrants into
the bush; but finding that they wouldn't stay
pushed, they took to water, and put for Key West,
where they arrived by the skin Of their teeth just
in time to escape capture from the Pizarro.
Another salvo Of artillery was fred at noon, and
third is to be fred at night, when, it is said,
grand torch light procession will take place. The
getters up of this affair are said to be few Of the
struggling soldiery. who, ever since they saved
their neeks, have been hanging around our city,
busily engaged in doing nothing 1t is also said
that preliminary meeting was held on Saturday
night last.
The election for delegate to the convention in
Mississippi, to amend her constitution, will como
off on the first Monday in September This election
will be IN ade the test question as to whether the
State is in favor Of dsunon not; and consequent
ly great excitement now prevails in sister State
on this subject. II the convention is composed OF
majority Of "Union delegates" then the secession
candidate for Goyecnor, General Qutman, will be
Jacob Thompson, and raising the cry Of democracy.
The wings will be to vote for Foote the
Union candidate. 1t is amusing to notice the shift
ings Of their leading men. For instance-if jeff
Davis is asked if be is in faver of secession, he re-
plies, am in favor ola change in the constitution;
go for 49, and if the people want to secede, why
he is willing; and if they don't, he isn't willing.
But he is the peoples man, and will do just they
say. Then there is Mr.. A. G.. Brown; he, year
ago, was out and out State rights secessionist,
and now he is for the Union, anything, almost,
which the majority win 60 for. Thompson is hold
ing back, to see how things are going to work; and
if the secessionsts have no chance then he will run
come off, and all eyes are now anxiously watching
her.
Parodi plays in "Lucrezia Borga" on Wednesday
night, the 2lst instant, and every seat in the house
is already taken. 1t will be the greatest heat Of
the season, and the last Of the stars who will be able
to excite again until ext year. So we must all
feed until then of Of Parods Lucrezia. Miss Cush-
man is playing at Nashville, and is to 60 to
Louisville or st. Louis, on her way North.

THoRNE as Vice President for the ensuing
year, repaired to Wizards Hotel, where at y
O'Clock a sumpluous supper was served up on
the occasion of the Society's thirty sixth ami
versary. A number Of invited guests were
present, among whom were Senator FooTE, OF
Mississippi; Mr.. Oar, of South Carolina, Rep
resentative in Congress and member of the
Printing Committee Messrs RITcHIE, Over

KEEP OUT THE LIeHT.--Most of the newspapers
in the State of South Carolina, and number of
those OF secession stamp elsewhere, have been stu
diously careful to exclude from their readers know
ledge the patriotic movements-by Union meetings
and other wse-at the North in favor of equal and
exact Justice to all sections under the federal con-
stitution. We have not observed that all or many
of them have had the candor to publish that
portion of the Preedents message containing his
pledge to enforce to his utmost ability all the laws
of the Federal Government including, of course,
the Fugitive Slave Law. Judging from their rep
resentations of the feelings and acts of the people
and legislative bodies of the North, their readers
would be led to believe that the whole northern Sec
ton ofthe country under the absolute control
OF the most offensive Abolitonists This is at total
variance with the truth, and only arise from a
fixed and disingenuous resolution to mislead their
readers, to destroy all fraternal confidence, to
weaken and snap asundcr the sacred bonds of the
Union. Is this honest is it manly? No. il be-
trays spirit worthy only of the cause in which it
is engaged.-Union.

The invention of paying and returning visits by
cards, now practsed to such an extent in cities,
but especially here, is most admirable one-a
time and labor saving continuance. Without come
thing of the kind here it would be utterly imposs-
bile for members of Congress-, foreign ministers,
public functionaries, and strangers to keep up the
forms of social intercourse and courtesy with a
1.-THE of those who expect civltes in return for those
rendered. But persons leaving cards with those
they wish to interchange civties with do not
always recollect that their residence ia not known
to those whom they thus visit, and by whom they
expect the visit to be returned; and it is an every
day occurrence that those who have received cards,
and are DESTROYS to reciprocate coureses are wholly
at loss to find the Individuals and, after perhaps
several attempts to discover their residence, and
spending more time than they conveniently
spare, are obliged to give up the task, and incur
the imputation of inciviity.
To avoid this and save trouble, every one and
especially those whose residence is not a matter of
public notoriety, should put their residence upon
their cards Let this rule be strictly observed and
much time and modification will be saved Those
who disregard this rule must not themselves COM

We ought to help ourselves, though the American
