party took the Of the Union in the and had
made speeches in of the countless and called public
meetings, and organized under the name d the Southern
Rights Association and many of them avowing Dsunion,
before the Union commenced the Bot they
discovered that the majority Of the people would not
dance that tune and they altered the key no and called
themselves the States Rights Association. Finding that

M1ssIssIPPI.-The returns of the late election in
this State show that the Union cause is successful
by an overwhelming majority. This result has
been well called the dirge Of Disunionism - that
famous g Regiment" of which so much has been
said, has at last been efectually "co0ined.''
From the Jackson Flag Of the Union of the 18th
we learn that in ffty-nine counties seventy-six
Union men and only thirteen Seeessionists have

We should like to know at what point of time

certainly do not see how he could have nterfered
afterwards, for the same arrival which brought him

The President interfered after very proper
manner in favor Of the fifty unfortunate Americans
and all other Americans similarly disposed when
he put forth his proclamation forbidding them to
joinNin expeditions against Cuba, explaining 10
them the law and the crime, and warning them Of
the consequences of their dsobedience, and when
he issued orders to the collectors of ports and other
civil officers Of the Government to use the neces-
sary means for arrestng any enterprise Of the kind
that might be set on foot.
