COMMUNICATED.
.'who steals my purse. steals trash, It's some
thing, nothing:
Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to
thousands;
But he who flches from me my good name,
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed"
The licentious aud proAigate charge against
our esteemed and deservedly respected citizen,
Mr.. Wynan, Cotton Weigher in Yazoo City,)
made by some farmers of Attala county, and APP
pearing in the Southern Sum-" at Kosciusko /;
calls forth the reprobation of every respectable
citizen of tles community, who appreciates the
importance and sacredness of reputation.
1t does not require much astuteness to discern
that this insidious blow directed against Mr..
Wvn1an, likewise sacrifices the credit and char
acter of every merchant of Yazoo City, who
trade for the cotton brought there by those far
mers of Attala county. Mr. Wyman has no in
ducement to commit fraud, except through the
corruption of those merchants, and his moral
weight of character places him above all venal
attempts, independently of their rectitude and
high bearing.
A deficit of two pounds to the bale might hap
pen, tor experience proves that in weighing
heavy bulks like cotton, variation of one OF
two pounds may readily. and does commonly
occur-but charging a deficit of '.r0m t'eo tc
forty pounds on each BALE creates suspicion o.
willfuI and malignant exaggeration, unreasona-
BILE to be credited, and certainly foolish seriously
to charge, and as ridiculous to be banded by any
respectable journal.
The scales of Mr.. Wyman are of the best and
truest draft: his weighing is public and subjec
to the inspection of all interested, as well as tc
Others, and those farmers of Attala who pretenC
to have suffered, and who have subsequently
made the serious and obnoxious charge, have
been guilty of great negligence to their own, al
we'll as the public's interest by not detecting
and at the instant exposing the infamy of fals
weights, by having the cotton re-weighed b,
some private balance; for surely one honest maj
can be found in Yazoo City.

THE JAPAN ExPEDTTIoN.-The Boston Post
publishes the following extract from letter re-
ceived from gentleman who has just returned
to this country from trip TO China, relative to
the feelings of the Japanese toward the expedi-
ton of Commodore Perry:
1t was informed by gent'eman-a native of
Japan-that the Emperor is ready for the Amer
lean expedition. He exhibited a letter to me,
which he had just received from one of his coun-
trymen, then on The Island of Jeddo. That the
people kept strict lookout all over the coast
and their fires were already burning on the noun
tains at night, in order to be prepared in case
the squadron should appear at night. One mil
lion of soldiers ready and at hand. The
coasts is all set with guns, while in the bay oi
Jeddo, where the feet is expected there are
countless war junks, and the whole bay is sur
rounded with innumerable forts. The expedi-
ton will find the japanese much better soldiers
than they anticipate. n The present:
had better have been left at home. A trade will
not soon be opened with that country except BY
force.

We regret to learn by long article IN
the last Yazoo Democrat, that II was serious In
declaring itself the determined advocate and
champion of State Banks"
&C. The above is the first paragraph of an
article in the last Vicksburg Sentinel, peunc-
ing upon us as bankites The Sentinel does us
great injustice, for 1t would convey the idea TO
the public that we are in favor of banks, in the
abstract. We repeated in every article that
we have published, the only reason that induced
us to express ourselves in favor of establishing
banks in this State-that we would prefer a
home issue to the present paper in circulation
here, and for no other reason, stating at the
same time, that if any other mode could be
! adopted to drive this-for ought we know
spurious and fraudulent-paper from our mar
ket, we should be glad to see it done. A d yet
so ready to jump on everything that presen
itself, not in its opinion, spotless the Sen'i ne
rails out against US, as the determined advo-
Gates Of State Banks. We hope the Sentine
will do us the justice to correct this mistake
and cease its perversions.
We are as true ami strong friends of the Sen.
tinel as any other paper in the State, and the
last to do anything to create disturbance il
the democratic ranks, but we cannot stand mis-
representations of this kind to pass unnoticed
If the Sentinel will look our articles owe
carefully, it will see the mistake it labors un
der-or that it appears to.

Interesting Discoveries i'm persia

We have had the pleasure OF listening to n
letter written in Persia, to gentleman in this
city, which gives an account of some recent
and most interesting discoveries in that country
The writer is a scientific gentleman of the
highest standing, American, and one whose
position in Persia is a pledge of the correctness
of his details.
The line between Persia and Turkey has been
defined with thai exactness wich peace and
security demand, and soldiers have, by both
governments, been placed upon The disputed
territory to defend the rights of Turkey and
Persia and for many years the soldiers have
been in the practice of coming into collision.
To avoid this bloodshed, and settle definitely
the boundary line between the nations, Eng
land and Russia have induced Persia to con-
sent to a mixed commission, which should en-
brace England, Russia and Persia. That COM
mission is engaged in establishing line
between Persia and Turkey. Colonel Williams
well known TO many Americans, and man of
character and talent, is the English commits
sioner.
In the prosecution ,f this work, the commits
sioners have come upon the remains of the an
cient palace Shushan, mentioned in the sacred
books of Esther and Daniel, together with the
tomb of Daniel, the prophet. The locality an
swers to the received tradition of its position,
and the internal evidence, arising from its cor
respondence with the description of the palace
recorded in the sacred history, amount almost
to demonstration.
The reader can turn to Esther, chapter l,
verse 6; there he will read pavement of red,
and blue, and white and black marble in that
palace" That pavement still exists, and, as
described by Col. Williams, corresponds to the
description given thus in the sacred history
And in the marble columns, dilapidated ruins,
the sculpture and the remaining marks of greet
ness and glory that are scattered around, the
commissioners read the exact truth of the rec
ord made by the sacred penman.
Not lar from the palace stands tomb on il
is sculptured the figure of man bound hand
and foot with huge lion in the act of spring
ing upon him to devour him. No history can
speak more graphically the story of Daniel in
the Lions Den. The commissioners have with
them an able corps of engineers and scientific
men, and most interesting discoveries may be
expected The Persian arrow heads are found
upon the palace and the tomb. Glass bottles
elegant as those placed upon the toilet tables Of
the ladies of cur day, have been discovered
with other indications of art and refinement
which bear out the statement of the Bible
Thus, twenty-five hundred years after the his
torians of Esther and Daniel made their rec
ords, their histories are verified by the peace
full movements of the nations of our day.-Bos-
ton Chronicle

WHIGGERY IN RHODE IsLAND-The Constitu-
ton of Rhode Island, framed by the Wings few
years ago, disqualfies for Office all but electors
and no man can be an elector " no does not own
a certain amount of real estate, unless he be a
negro! This is discrimination in favor of the
colored race with vengeance. They are made
a privileged class By the Wings of Rhode Island.
The Wings have had good deal to say, and have
shed great many tears over that provision in
the Constitution of New Hampshire that dis
qualities Catholics from holding three or four
Offices in that State, but they are perfectly will
ling that both Catholics and Protestants shall be
prescribed in Rhode Island from holding any
Office unless they own real estate of some value;
the only exception to this clause being in favor
Of negroes What say the Southern Wings to
this discrimination of their brethren in Rhode
Island ?-Csn. Enquirer.

SENATORIAL QUESTION IN North CAROLINA
The Legislature of North Carolina having
failed to elect a Senator in the place of Mr.
Mangum, whose term of office expires on the
fourth of March, a question has arisen as to
whether the Governor is authorised to appoint
his successor, precisely similar to the one now
undergoing discussion in Mississippi, growing
out of the appointment Of Mr.. Kinyon. In a
late number of the Raleigh Standard, we find a
| lengthy argument writ by the Hon. Robert
Strange, former United States Senator, and one
of the most eminent jurists in the State, de-
signed TO show that the power toappoint under
the circumstances is vested in the Governor
Oiher gentlemen learned in the law take diff
ferent view of the subject. Meantime Gov
Reid, as the Standard informs us, has the mat
ter under consideration, and has not made VI
his opinion fully on the subject That pape
says -lMississippian.
"Public opinion in this State appears to b.
divided ON the question of the right of tn
Governor to appoint a successor in The Unitet
States Senate to Mr.. Mangum. There can b.
no doubt that the Legislature foresaw that va
cancy would occur after the 4th of March, an,
| it is equally clear that that body deliberatel
omitted to pr vide for this occurrence. w
are not authorised to speak for Gov. Reid-w
know not whether he has made up his opinion
finall, on the subject, or what that opinion vii
be; but of one thing we feel confident, an
that is, be will perform his duty honestly, af
ter investigation and mature reflection"

0s~ See the card of Vanloon, Paxton & Co.,
Vicksburg. The Vicksburg papers speak in high
terms of the members of this new firm. 1t de-
serves liberal patronage from every lover of
home industry. Mississippi is backward in the
mechanical and manufacturing pursuits, and ever
will be until our citizens turn their patronage
and attention to the encouragement of home in
dustry, and stop sending to New Orleans for the
same articles that they might procure at home,
at lower rates and with more assurance of hon
est work.

q Ifthere is spark of humor In
the Wings, says the Nashville american,
they can certainly call up fugitive
smile on reading the following extract
| from a speech of the Hon. Mr.. Olds, of
Ohio, delivered at the Democratic Gel
ebration in Washington, last week 1t
needs no comment:
'HSir, if Franklin Pierce comes to the work as
signed him by the Democracy of the country as
have no doubt he will, there will be as big a
muss kicked up in Washington city on the 4th
of March as there was at Mrs. Smiths house. (as
related by M friend the Buckeye abroad, y when
little Jake Smith ran over to Mr.. Browns to
tell her that dad dead, mann was dead, Sam
was drunk, the old COW had calf, John had
swallowed PIN, Jim had got the delirium tri-
angles. lookingat the 'rora boreax-[laughterl- =
and that, that amt all, neither, saws Jake. eWhat
else pom 'arth can be the matter? Enquired
Mrs. Brown. sWal Sal broke the butter plate.
Susan has split the pancakes, and joe has sot
down in the scalding tallow we had for dipping
candles, and one Of the Maltese kittens has got
his head into the molasses jug, and we can't get
it out, and we are all so darnd Internally hum
gry." Shouts and cbeers.) Mr.. President, in
my imagination the 4th of March is passing be-
fore me, and think see the Whig Galphin Of
fice-holders pouring out of the various govern
ment departments, with the tears running down
their plous noses, and their lamentations is sthat
Webster is dead, Fillmore has filibustered, Scott
has got Native American cali, North Carolina
has swallowed Graham, and Tom Corwin has
got the dellrium triangles looking for Northern
Abolition votes. Loud and prolonged cheer
ing.l And that amt all, either, Mr.. President
for Toombs has broken their butter-plate. GEN
try has split their pancakes. and Seward has set
down in the scalding tallow they had for dipping
higher law candles. and franklin Pierce has cot
into the Presidential chair, and we can't get him
out and we are all SO darn'd internal hungry. >.

crowded with job work during the last week.
Our patrons are aware of the necessity Of all pa
pers having merely local circulation, doing all
the job work and advertising it can, to sustain
itself. A subscription list of five or six hundred,
and many of them gratuitous would not pay the
actual cash expences.
