A CURE IN TWO DAYS
The Yazoo Democrat., 1853-06-22

At the residence of her husband, Dr. HimM
]. Thomas, on the 18th inst, Mrs. REBEKAH s.
Thomas, in the 2lst year Of her age.
When It was announced that "a severe end "a
tai nalady had suddenly prostraied Mrs. TRoMAs,
an anxiety and gloom pervaded 3 large circle Of
fond and devoted friends, and though fearful
apprehension was entertained that her recovery
was almost hopeless, and her bed side was con-
stantly watched by her physician and early
friend, DR.. Leake, who did all that human
power and medical skill could do to ward of
the stealthy approach Of the ruthless destroyer.
Yet, for several days, friends who thronged her
sick chamber INDUCED the delusive hope that
her life would yet be spered; bat alas her hour
had come, and with christian resignation and
uncIouded mind, she passed to that spirit land
''where the wicked cease from troubling, and the
weary are at rest"
But few short months since, with buoyant
hope and swelling heart, full Of anticipation Of
a bright and happy future, she was welded 70 a
husband who loved and cherished her, and whose
life and character gave assurance that her con-
6dence and warm affection would never be de-
ceived or misplaced but how soon has the sill
yer cord that bound two willing hearts been
snapped, and heart which but few days since
was full of hope and JOY is now wrung wiEh an
guish too overwhelming TO Be conceived Of ex-
cept by those whose heads have bowed under
the same crushing sorrow. There are others
too, whose hearts are laceated By the sad be-
reavement. The kindness Of her nature. her
o5edient and gentle disposition, made her al
most the idol OF fond and devoted parents, and
favorite Of brothers and sisters. Her fankhess,
sincerity and noble generosity caused her TO Be
esteemed and admired wherever she was known
aud to fascinating person and manners, there
was blended mind brilliant and cultivated.
! But very short period has elapsed since The
author Of this had the pleasure Of meeting with
her. lively, gay, and happy, occasionally abiding
10 the recent change in her relations, how happy
she was, and bright the future appeared 70 her.
and the great pleasure she anticipated Ia the en-
ioyment of the society Of her husband and old
friends. How sad, and swfully impressive the
warning, that IN the midst Of life we are in
death. AS the slow, long and solemn train
wound its way TO the grave where her remains
were to be deposited, and the heart-rending
tones of the funeral bell fell upon the ear, il was
even then hard to realize that one we bad so
short time ago seen in the full enjoyment Of
health. had been cut Of, and an aching old made,
which none can fill There was a sunlight in
her happy and smiling face, and cheering thrill
in her well remembered voice, that is shut out
and silenced by the darkness and stiffness Of the
grave. III. B.

TIle mectlln valley.

We have never doubted says the N. o. Delta,
that the President would endorse the position
taken by Gov. Lane, Of New Mexico, with regard
to the Mecilla Valley, and our dispatches Of yes
terday evening are conclusive on the question.
The efforts of one of the boundary commission
ers to prove that the Valley was not the proper
ty Of the United States failed SO signnlly that
we are not astonishcd to find MIR. Pierce scout
ing the idea completely and ratifying the course
of Lane.
'It is well-known that the opinions Of pro-
minent member Of the Cabinet-Jefferson Da-
vis-are very decided on the boundary question
generally. At the time Of the Guadalupe Hidal-
90 Treaty, he was opposed to the line of the
Rio Grande and GiIa, on the grounds that it
never would secure a permanent peace with
dexico. He was in favor of the more southerly
line of the Sierra Madre and then westward TO
the mouth of the Gulf of California, so as to in
clude the plains south of El Paso, the vast open
country of Chihuahua and Sonora south of the
Gila, the Gulf of California, and the Peninsula
known as Lower California, lying between the
Gulf and the Pacific. That was evidently the
true line.
"It will not be too much to hope that the Cab
met will adopt, in the present instance, the line
claimed by MIR. Gray, late United States Survey
Or in the boundary survey. and leave that oi
Mr.. Bartlett entirely out of the question. It
well known that Mr.. Gray refused to act under
the instructions of the commission, in this mat
ter. and resigned his post rather than sacrifice
the territory which Mr.. Bartlett was willing to
cede TO Mexico. The latter gentleman, as Mr..
Gray remarks, made great mistake in fixing
the "initial point for the southern line of New
Mexico" at thitty-two degrees and twenty min
utes north latitude.
"What the result Of the bold policy of our
Government may be, it is impossible to divine.
1t is very probable that something will turn
up" The excitement amongst our Mexican
neighbors is very great Indeed, and likely to be-
come greater, but excitement in that quarter is
nothing new. We are glad that the Government
of New Mexico has been SO promptly sustain

surrounding country, they had much more rain
than we had here. The corn crop has suffered
very materially from the drought and will be a

The CARRoLToE PAPERs.-The CarroIIton
Democrat is what it purports to be, democrat
ic journal, and supports the nominees of the
Jackson Convention with will in opposition
to both wings and independents. The Carrollton
Flag was formerly whig paper, but under its
present proprietorship has professed to be demo-
cratic, but as yet has given but few substantial
evidences of its principles. In 1852 it did not
raise the Pierce and King flag, and now it does
not raise the names of the nominees of the late
Jackson convention. The Flag goes for Reuben
Davis and the whig papers quote its articles in
favor of that impracticable candidate as coming
from the democratic paper Of Carroll county
We make this statement that the public may not
be deceived as to the strength of the independent
candidate with the democratic press.-L Lauder

not written for the public. from Col. VIM. H.
Johnson. 1t wilt by recollected that Col. J. was
prominent candidate for Floater," before the
late State Convention. His pen breathes the
right spirit-the spirit of true Democracy
While he might have left the Convention in a
rage, and declared that be had been "disgraced'
and slaughtered" with as much pToprety as did
Gen. Davis, we find him not only submitting to,
but actually approving and applauding the wis
dom and action of it. In speaking of the pro-
ceedIngs of the convention, Col. ]. says:
81 most conscientiously and firmly believe
that if convention ever was conducted In an
open, fair and impartial manner, giving to the
claims Of the different aspirants for Office, full
and unbiased consideration, it was our recent
convention"
How this language and this evidence of true
patriotism contrasts with the selfish narrow
heartedness of the renegade Davis!

Gen. Reuben Davis has appointed Monday the

cause his talents and powers were not apprecia

IMPoRTANT.-It is very important that the
democracy of the State should know the men
that they are to send to the next Legislature.
There are SO many important matters to come
before the next session Of that body, that their
opinions upon them all should be perfectly un-
derstood. Not only the election of U. s. Sena-
tor, and the division of the State into five Con-
gressional districts, but the question of appro-
propriations for the payment of the Union Bank
Bonds, may come before them. If the High
Court Of Errors and Appeals should affirm the
decision of the Court Of Chancers, twill be left
with the Legislature to provide for their pay
ment, or refuse TO make appropriations. If the
citizens of this State do not desire to be taxed to
the amount of eigbt or ten millions of dollars,
to pay an unconstitutional and unjust debt. they
should look well to the opinions of the candi-
dates for the next Legislature.

OCE A correspondent OF the Journal of Com
merce writing from Washington under date OF
June lst., makes the following statements in
reference to the misunderstanding between the
Mexican Government and ours, in relation to
the Mecilla Valley.
Gen. Garland, who has been here, en- route
for New Mexico, has left for his important com
mand. He arrived here in much less time than
was expected, after he had been summoned to
this place He had received his instructions, and
conjecture that they embrace both diplomatic
and military power. He is undoubtedly to proceed
forthwith TO New Mexico, and to march into
the Mecilla Valley with force that will enable
him to encouter Governor Trias, who is there
before him, and who is prepared to expel him or
any other American intruder. It may be that
Governor Trias will retire before GEN. Garland,
and that Santa Anna will suffer the United
States to take and keep possession of that dispu-
ted territory. But such is not the apparent IN
tention of the Mexicans
Our Executive Government have decided that
the disputed territory belongs to as under the
treaty, and would be ours supposing the bounda-
ry line to be run from ''a point Immediately
north of FL Paso" westward.

THE HOLLY SPRINes GUARU-The above named
paper, up to the present canvass, had been a very
Jealous States Rights paper, but il has now gone
over to Foote, Davis and whiggery. 1t does not
openly advocate the cause of Whiggery, but it
opposes the regular Democratic party, which Is
equivalent to being whig-and, if there is any
difference, it is worse than professed opposi-
tion to democracy.
The whig papers throughout the State are
now copying extensively from the Guard. The
course of the Guard has been so obnoxious to
the Democracy of Marshall, that they have es-
tablished another paper, called the Democratic
Banner. Mr.. Williams the editor of the Guard,
has declared himself as Foote candidate for the
