INTERESTING LETTER.

We have Just received long letter from an old
friend in Tennessee. 1t is principally devoted to
some Of the leading political topics Of the day, and
VIC know !; will be interesting to our readers, we
take the liberty et Publishing the following extract
from it.
Our friend may rest assured that Mississippi will
be right side up next fall. She viii not follow
the lead Of South Carolina, but will take the stand
which Georgia in her late Convention took, and
which We believe Virginia, Tennessee and other
southern States ought to take. II South Carolina
chooses 10 go out OF the Union, we are persuaded
she will be "left alone in her glory"
II FULLY appreciate the difficulties with which
you have had TO contend, and therefore | admire
the more your bodness and independence. |
have lutte doub, but that the great body of the
democratic party Of Mississippi will be with you
eventually, although the leaders, as they consider
themselves, may exert themselves to carry the
people with them. The only way for the demo.
cratic party of Mississippi to save itself is to
discard all dlsunionisls no matter how prominent.
These men are pledged already not to 20 into a
convention to nominate candidates for the Presi.
dency and Vice Presidency. They have sepa-
party and wish TO organize sectional party, q
preparatory step TO dissolution Of the UnIon
IL this be the object, as doubt not ia let it be
boldly avowed aud then the people can deermin,
whether they are now prepared for that extreme
measure. The disunionist in disguise is moe
dangerous than the open disunonist. He ha,
all the bad qualities Of the latter without his can
dor and bodness. So long as we preserve ouI
national parties, we will fnd men al the Norl
who will stand up maniully for the rights OF the
South. Why then should we denounce, indis,
crmnatey, all northern men, when it is known
that tho South has no truer friends than can he
louno among potion of the northern people
II the South will pursue wise, prudent, aud a
the same time bold and decided course, nevei
were her prospects brighter than at this time
This is shown by the fact that slaves and the
products Of slave labor are commanding high
prices throughout the whole South. Thi.
would not be the case il the people really be-
lieyed that The institution Of slavery was in al
much danger as some Of our political wiseacre'
would have us believe. The fact that the con-
sumption Of cotton is mu>h more on the increase
than its production shows that the present prices

Curious CASE OF CaimE.--In the Boston mu-

Byrne, was tried for stealing two watches. He
obtained them by dashing his hand through a pane
oi glass IN window. he s sixty years of age, is
very deaf, and has heretofore borne nm excellent
character. Immediately after the offence he was
pursued, and oversakcn in Hanover street, and the
watches were found at the spot where he was stop
ped, and his hands we're bleeding, if cut by the
glass. An attempt was nade to meet this fact by
the testimony OF his daughter that he had chaoped
hands. and that they frequently bled in colisc-
quence Tho evidence against him was Of such
nature that 1t admitted OF only two suggestions for
the defence, viz that the witness who swore to his
identity might have been mistaken, the time being
evening, and the exceeding improhabilty that a
man OF his pears and reputable character should
have been suddcnly transformed into n thorough
laced rogue, and committed crime which none
but the most siroit professional villains have bet
known 20. undertake.. These points were ingeni-
ousy and eloquently presented To the considers lion

and sentenced to two years and half imprison-
