Our State Legislature was safely delivered, yes
terday, AN United States Senator, ard great was
the rejoicing among the wings Of the city. The
Senator elect is tie Hon. j. p. Benjamin, who re
ceived Gs votes, ard the Hon. S. w. Downs 56
The general regret is, that it was not Soules term
that expired instead Of Downs The friends Of the
latter console themselves with the hope that he
will succeed Soulc, who has not dying mans
chance Of ever being reelected. Mr. Benjamin's
term is for six years, ard commences on the ith Of
March, 1858.
The Mississippi Legislature has made no choice
yet to fill the vacancies Of Foote and Davis in the
United States Senate. Mr.. McRae, who vas ap-
pointed by the late Governor to fill Col. JEFF Da-
Wis seat until the Legislature met, is hot dis
unionist, and Of course will soon be called home.
II is thought the Legislature will appoint Stephen
Der Of Congress, and Col. Sam. Boyd (whig), Of
Natchez, to fill the vacancies The election will
take place on 10th February. There can hardly be
said to be any whig party now in Mississippi They
same time, however, there are few of the old
federaiNs, who still cling to the name, but not to
the distinguishing features Of their party. Truly,
most singular political phenomenon now exists in
Mississippi. The democratic party is in favor Of
Mr.. Buchanan for the Presidency, while the wings
express preference for Mr. Cas-! It is thought
that no delegates from this State will be sent to
the whig convention. AT least they will first await
the action Of the Union democrats.
perceive that the Senate of your State has
passed Intervention revolutions The subject is be.
ginning to be agitated in the Southwest The doc
trine is secretly growing, and many now make bold
to assert that MIR. Monroes doctrine as regards
this continent, in relation to foreign interference,
should he extended to ether countries. There is
now hardly doubt but that kossuth, incanvassing
through the Southwestern States, will, By his SOUL
stirring and eloquent appeals, raise an intervention
party, which will be composed Of wings and demo-
Gratis, and who will support their candidate for
The Presidency, Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi.
think i will yet become a large and influential
party. kossuth may already be said to have six
States in his favor-WiEcensin, Ohio, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Pennsylvania and Texas, which are con-
trolled by the German yote-besides New York,
which has already as good as committed herself.
Again: The /" lone star order" which is daily be-
coming more powerful and influential, warmly ad-
vocates kossuths doctrines, and win make itself
felt. II would certainly DO curious state of things
to see National Intervention Convention. This
party, il raised, should it advocate the extreme
doctrine Of kossuth, armed interference" would
be to meet with the same fate Of the " Native
American party" which doubt not is the most
polite OF the two, for the welfare Of this country.
The celebrated Failure case, which has been
so long pending between the heirs Of Deslonde and
others, against Municipality No. 2, has been finally
amicably adjusted by compromise The suit in
yolved the whole front Of the city along the river
bank, from Canal street up nearly q mile, and est
mated 70 be worth three millions Of dollars. The
sale is TO take place on the 18th Of March next,
under the instructions Of the Finance Committee Of
the Second Municipality.
The Mississippi Railroad Convention, which
lately adjourned at Jackson, adopted the following
resolutions
Resolved, That the New Orleans and Jaekson Railroad
should be extended from jackson through the State by
the most central and practicable route to the State line
as TO unite with such road roads may be pro-
jected thence and designed to connect Nashville, Tenn
with any great central railroad improvement through
Mt:ifsippi connecting Nashville and New Orleans.
Nee0ycd Thstwe recommend the passage of an act gu
thcrizing aud requiring the Governor whenever any
company shall have graded and prepared any railroad
within the State distance Of ten miles more ready
Tor the iron 70 purchase the iron for such portion OF the
read out Of money in the Treasury not otherwise ap
proprated and that the State shall be entitled TO stock

Gel. Kinney, oftho Texas Senate, has introduced
bill In the Texas Legislature 10 incorporate
company to build railroad from some suitable
point on Ar8nsas, or Corpus Christi Bay, up the
Rio Grande, with branches to the eastern part Of
the State Should IL pass il will increase the value
of the lands at Corpus Christi aud the adjacent
county LuIdIoI fed.
