and your States. The Jackson and Madi-
%souvile and New Orleans route is in the
HIGHER favor: being ut cnce tho restiesi and
easiest Of commencement. and passing as il
would DO through a portion Of Mississippi,
capable Of supplying US with nearly all the
products Of the North Western States
Much Of the produce that used to come
here for expectation has been diverted from
us-~-mclanchoIy though this at first sight
may appear, yctit has caused US to examine
our own resources, and we have the best
proof that our climate aud soil in the east
em Mississippi counties, are well adapted
for the culture Of all the cerial products Of
the South aud West. Those on whom |
can dlpead for information, aisl whom you
can contradict as it refers to a district bat a
little east from your home, say that wheat
and oats, rye and rice grow, and would be
greatly cultivated on lands not in use for
cotton, had they a market to transport their
produce to. Whilst we have been tainted
in the North for our dependence upon them
for food and clothing, and whilst our western
people threaten to impoverish us by their
mighty works of railroads and canals, we
may, if Just and generous to ourselves, so
parry off the blow, as that we may give

victory on our fields. 1t is then a most laud-
able undertaking in which our capitalists
and men OF enterprise have embarked.
Judge McCaleb, A. Herman, Esq, and p.
Conrey, Jr., have thrown the weight of
ment, whilst Lieut.. Smith, U. S. n, and
Capt. Grice, have demonstrated the econo-
my and capabilities of that route with a
c'earness which has enlisted the most pre-
JUDGED in favor of this economical and pro-
fitable railroad. | have referred only to a
few adventitious means which will prove adj
v%antageous to the town and country, farmer
and merchant, by this Madisonvlle route,
but the great source of profit will be the
cotton freights and passenger fares, which,
while vastly reduced, will yield the compa-
ny a handsome dividend. When it is con-
sidered hat this route will enable the waste
lands Of the eastern Mississippi to be brought
out into cultivation by having a rapid and
clleap conveyance to market for all their
products, it behooves all having the interest
Of their lands and posterity at heart, to come
forward and enable our energetic committee
to go forward in the good work of railroad
Improvements.
There is a very beautiful specimen Of
hemp now offered Tor sale in this city, made
from the stringey thread that may be seen
in the stalk of the common Ochre plant.
This plant yields a greater weight of fibre
than is got from the hemp-planted over
the same breadth Of land-its immense
length of stalk more than remunerating their
greater intervals, With a proper heckling
machine this hemp may be drawn out to a
round evenish silver, fitted at once for bale
ing and bale rope. This in a great point
gained in Southern manufactures, and | drop
the hint now, that your enterprising Factory
Company may get the advantage of the
latest Improvements. 1t is spun upon a
common rope walk now, and a small ex-
pense for looms would complete the manu-
featuring establishment.
Parodi has been given her concerts as
formerly announced she is attended with
other eminen: artists-and commands the
attention of a brilliant and fashionable au-
dience. She comes with no parade, no
Barnum strikers to puff and herald the song
stress fame, and perhaps that may account
for the lack of enthusiasm by the out door
critics, She has obtained a celebrity all
over the country, and is judged by Judges
to excel Jenny in many points, bur here de-
traction stands the place of criticism, and in
a summary wholesale way, Parodi is assign,
ed an inferior position.
Noumay recollect, about two monthsago.
that a young man, named Byrd, was killed
here in the Verandah, it created a good deal
of talk for the rest of the day, he being the
third one of the family who fell by a street
tight, and by q~uarrels originating in "deli-
cate affairs. Evington, the supposed muir.
derer, got his trial and acquittal last week,
which created a universal snout of applause
in Court, when the jury returned the verdict.
The weather is now 6ne-the air salubrl-
Gus and dry and cool, and Judging from MIR.
