W We copy the following tribute to the
memory Of ALLEN A. DRlees, from the
Wsstchester Times:
ALLEN A. briggs.
We do not know when our sympathies
were so much touched, as they were when
we read the following mournful intelligence
in the Woodsfeld Spirit Of Democracy, Of
the 18th inst. We have been acquainted
with Mr.. briggs for number Of years,
and more whole hearted soul, we never
had for an acquaintance. Our affections
for one another were Of the strongest kind;
kind too, that none can feel but those
who have endured the same hardships to.
gether-both of US having served four.
teen months tour, in the same company,
during the late war with Mexico. When
We shook his hand, and bade him sad
farewell about q year ago. we were afraid
that it would be for the last time, and OH!
how truly have our fears been realized!
Mr.. briggs was young man, of an ad.
venturous spirit, and had gone 10 the Ell
Dorado to try his fortune in that land oi
gold. But his earthly prospects were soon
blasted-the relentless hand Of death has
chosen his noble spirit for one Of its vic.
Tins. Many tear will be shed by his old
friends and companions in arms, when
they hear Of his death-for none knew him
but to love him. We sincerely sympathise
with his afflicted relatives in the loss Of
one who was SO near and dear TO them.

CONVENTION ELECTION.

The election for delegates to the State Con.
vcntion will take place on the first Monday anC
day following in September. This election Is
one Of the highest importance, in as much as It's
result will materially affect the regular elections
of State officers and members of the Legislature
in November Elect a majority of fire eaters,
or Qnitman resisters and the probability is that
Mississippi will DO hiiched TO the car of South
Carolina dsunionism. Delegates will be APP
pointed from the State to attend Southern Con.
gress and every body knows that South Caro-.
lima will be the controlling power in that body as
che was in the last Nashville Convention, and
her voice is clearly for "prompt secession, "
whether il be peaceful or not. But we have
no idea that the Quitman party can elect ma
jory 10 the Convention, if the people Of the
country will turn out generally and attend the
polls. We call upon the voters then in this and
all the adjoining counties to be prompt and
ready. The eyes Of the whole Union are at
this time fixed upon Mississippi. If she follow
the example Of Georgia, all will be well but
If she waver il she yield to the insane cry OF
resistance and continued agitation all may be
lost. Much then--very much depends upon the
September election.
In all the counties around US, VIC notice that
our Union friends have selected strong tickets
without regard to old party lines. This is right,
for crisis has arisen which requires that party
distinctions should be done away with for the
time a, least, and that we should go for our coun
try--our whole country, and the Union and the
Constitution as it is. In this county we have an
admirably selected ticket composed of gentle
men who are every way capab!e' faithful and
true to the cause. If there is full vote, we
have no Tears bu, that we shall carry the day ~
at least one hundred and City majority. We
have counted noses" here, and know NV we
stand All will depend upon the turn on W the
country. To the polls then, fellow citizens,
friends Of the Union, democrats and wings, and
pu. quieus upon this Internal, fre.eating spirit
Of sectional agitation and insane resistance.

THE COLUMBUS RIFLEMEN.

We attended, by special invitation, the celo-
braton of,he l4th anniversary oi,hs gallant and
well drilled company,last Thursday. They had
pitched their tents on the Monday previous at
Mt. Zion about nine miles east Of town. The
weather was oppressiyely warm, and we suffered
some from the beat, bu. upon the whole, we en-.
joyed ourselves e1cellently well. We found
quite number Of the neighbors, including a
beautiful bevy Of ladies' assembled, for whom
an excellent and plentiful barbecue was served
up. and every thing vent OF in admirable style.
The company after five days encampment amid
the sylvan and beautiful scenery of Mt. Zion,
returned TO town last evening, all in good health
and spirits. May this fine corps Of citizen soldiers
live thousand years, and may the shadow Of
ia popular and noble hearted Captain never grow
less

THE CANVASS.

The friends of the Union were in high spirts
at the close of the canvass at the country pre-,
cincs, and on Monday last assembled in goodly
numbers to hear the discussion at the Court House
between their able and gallant! champions, Col,
Cobb and Capt Barksdale, and their Compel,
tors for a seat in the Convention.
II is not our purpose TO attempt at this time even
a sketch of the speeches on this occasion Tho
Union cause was nobly sustained, and presented
with such force and truth as TO reach the neK.
gence ofthe audience, and satisfy the unprer,
diced that the interests of the people depend upon
the success of the Union party.
The ground assumed by Capt. Baksdalc and
Col. Cobb, is the Same occupied by Virginia, ac.
quiescence in the Compromise, regarding it as
settlement of the slavery question between the
North and the South; that this adjustment is the
end Of legislation by Congress on this subject
In this view they are DESTROYS that the Compro-
mise should be sustained by Mississippi, and that
all further agitation throughout the country and
in Congress shall cease.
This is the true southern position, and meets
with the appreciation of all the Southern States
with the exception Of South Carolina; and we
have now strong hopes that good sense and pa
riolc feeling will yet prevail in the state Of South
Carolina, and that she will unite with her sister
states of the South. With the entire South uni.
upon the platform of the Union party-acQuies.
