tce of the political canvass in Mississippi:
'sGAMEsvlLLE, MISS, August 8.
"Governor Foote to-day addressed the citizens
OF this place in speech of two hours length.
His principal theme was the Compromise, though
he went into a general review of the politics Of
the State and nation, endorsed the doctrines Of
General Picrce's inaugural and Edward Ever
ett's letter, highly euogizng the patriotism dis
played in the later performance. He felicitated
the crowd and the nation on the triumph Of the
principles which he had advocated, and exulted
in the eventual acquiescence of those who had OPP
posed them. He expressed the greatest conf
dence in the election of Foote Legislature and
the utter defeat of Mr.. Brown. At this point the
speech was interrupted by the rain, and Governor
Foote and the crowd dispersed. .aais &5-aH@Vt

Hotel recently, was stopping colored boy named
William Marcy, whose extraordinary mathemat-
ical powers have greatly astonshed all who have
witnessed his demonstrations. He will add up
columns of figures any length, divide any given
sum, multiply millions by thousands within fire
minutes from, the time the figures are given him.
and with such exactness as to render it truly
derful Yesterday noon, in presence of party
Of gentlemen, he added a column of figures
eight in a line, and one hundred and eighth
lines, making the sum total Of several millions, in
about sic minutes. The feat was SO astounding
and apparently incredible that several of the party
took off their coats, and dividing the sum went
to work, and in two hours after they commenced
produced identically the same answer The boy
is not quite seventeen years of age; he cannot
read nor write, and in every other branch of an
English education is entirely deficient His pa
rents reside in kentucky, near Louisville. He
