Of our own. We have our belief, which we

Sometime since Mr.. Hamp-
Ton authorized the withdrawal Of his name

Of Assessor and this week we withdraw the

candidate, Mr.. Chas. Sims, for the office Of

PoracE JuRoR.--We wish to call attention
to the fact, that as yet no candidates are an
nounced for Police Juror in the Sd AMI 9th

MAIL FAlLuaE.We do not complain, but
the last Southern mail due this place, Thurs.
day last, was failure. We do not know
whether all the editors, South Of this, are
dead, OF what's the matter. The Crescent has
dwindled to half Sheet the Bulletin also
both from sickness and death among editors
and compositors, and they announce It inn
possible to procure hands at any price, The
same Is true Of the Natchez Courier, which,
from a daily, Is compelled to appear tri-week-
ly and TO fill up with large type. Certainly all
will sympathise and bear with newspaper men
in such calamitous circumstances.

JuDoE SMIrH-1he Bond Question. n.-ludg,
c. p. Smith, is so.journing for a short tim'
once more in our town, the High Cour; hav
ing taken shortrecess from its arduous duties
The opinion of Judge Smith in the case 0
the State Of Mississippi, vs.. Heron A. John
son. involving the whole question at issue, il
reference to the I@vvnent Of the Union Banl
Bonds, reached us, Wednesday evening last
published in the Flag of the Union, and OF
cupies ten full columns Of that paper. W
suppose it will be published in pamphlet forl
and thus become available to all who ma
have any curiosity to know the grounds 0
which the learned Judge decides against IL
State, and in favor Of fthepayment Of the Bond
The amount Of the Bonds of this Bank, whc
thus become due, on the lst day of June So
including interest, will be Nine Million
Dollars. We do not wish to discuss this ma
ter. for The best ofreasons, we do not feel con
potent 10 the task, but il our presumption to
us we were; delicacy at this time would &C
. tainly forbid Us saying a word on either sid
The Supreme tribunal Of the State has EXPIRE
sed unanimous opinion on the questions
Attorney General Glenn, has doubtless exhau
led the argument on the part Of the Stat
therefore nothing remains for us to say in Al
event.
