CHEERING FROM MIssIssIPPI.-We are
informed by friend who has recently
been in some of the counties in Mississippi
west Of this city, that the Union cause is
onward and upward-that the people arc
enthusiastic for Gen. Foote for Governor,
and declare their readiness at all times to
stand by the "stars and stripes" They
are for defending Southern rights in the
Union and under the Constitution, and for
putting down secession and notification al
all hazards Our friend was informed by
gentlemen who have travelled over large
portion of the State of Mississippi, thai
Gen. Foote would be elected by majority
of Mousandsi Old party lines, for the
present, are completely wiped out, and
Democrats and Wings are uniting, heart
and hand, to put down all enemies to the
Union, come in what shape they may

HE WHEAT CRoPs nearly all over this
County, are worse than we ever remem-
Der them to have been. A friend Just now
in our Office tells us that the joint worm
has done great mischief. The full extent
oft has not yet been asccrtained, but we
think it must be very great. We under
stand that for some distance out towards
Scottsville on each side of the mountain,
the crop, except on the very best lands, is
almost entirely gone. And in another
quarter OF the county we hear as great
complaint.-CH Charlottesville Jefersoa,an.

DEATH OF JAMES HoLLDAY.-James
Holiday, an eminent member of the bar at
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, fell suddenly dead
in the courthouse at that place on the 10th
instant, while engaged as counsel in the
trial of a cause. He was on the point of
objecting to question put to witness, las
we learn from the Sentinel when he sud
denly stopped. pressed his hand against
his heart, and said to the Judge: "Will
your honor send for my carriage? | am
too unwell to proceed Several MEM
bers of the Immediately gathered round
him, laved his face with water, put spirits
to his lips, and led him to an open window
in the vcstibulc. For an instant he seem
ed to rally, but it was the last flicker of
the expiring lamp. A deathly pallor set
tied uponhis features; his eyes became fixed
and glazed; and, family gasping out at is
all dark-don't leave me-" he sank quietly
into the arms of death.

Of the Company and the progress of the

STRANGE PREcocIrY.-The Fort Smith
(Arkansas) Herald states "that there is a
boy in that place only nine years old, who
writes and speaks the Hebrew, Latin,
French, Spanish, and Italian languages
with as much facility as he does the Eng
lish."
We can match this within the circle Of
our acquaintance. We know young gen.
tleman who can read and speak all the dead
and living languages as well as he can his
native English, and, wonderful to say, he
is only twelve months -Presbytcriaa.

MARRIAGE PoRrIoNs.-It was one of
the laws of Lycurgus, that no portions
should be given TO young women in mar
rage. When this great lawgiver was
called upon to justify this enactment, he
observed, That in the choice of a wife
merit only should be considered, and that
the law was made to prevent young wo-
men being chosen for their riches, or neg
lectcd for their poverty

FouL AIR IN MrNEs.-It having been
mentioned in one Of the city papers, that
operations at one of the most extensive
mines in this County had been temporarily
suspended in consequence Of foul air, we
would state some curious facts in conncc-
ton with the matter. The foul air was let
into the working chambers through holes
in the soil coal, bored by those Monster
Norway rats that are so numerous in this
region. 1t seems that these animals infest
the mines in great numbers, seeking the
fragments of food thrown away by the
miners. In the case alluded to, they bored
holes through the walls dividing the cham
bcrs in which the miners work from those
that have been closed up. This foul air
is carbonic gas, and is SO heavy that it set
tie. on .he ground like a weight. 1t was
removed, we are told, by pushing a train
of cars into the infected places, and chen
drawing it out loaded with gas Thus, as
an old miner told us, it was cartcd cut

other meeting has been called for this eve
ming by those who were dissatisfied with
the proceedings on Monday; but for what
purpose we cannot imagine. The MAORI

Monday evening, and will always be so
whenever any thing like fair expression
Of public sentiment is had. Whether the
adhcrents to the mixed basis will partici-
pate in the meeting to night, we cannot
say, but if they do, we hope they will turn
