FRcM TIPPAH AND DIrAwAMBA.-The Mississip-

from letters written by leading democrats of
these counties. From Tippah:

&C. We learn from the Ias Kosciusko Sun,
that Rev. II. J. Bardwell, Elitor OF the Missis-

This is melancholy news to the numerous
friends of this able expounder of Holy Writ, and
generous advocate of the Christian Religion
But few months have elapsed since Mr.. Bard

CO. Mr.. Chapman. of the Columbus Standard
still contends that he stands as peace maker
and that his course is the proper one for the true
Democracy. He NAV think so, but every intel
ligent reader, we think, who reads his editorials
on that subject, will agree with us. that his course
is calculated to do the regular ticket. and the
party generally. more harm than open opposition
TO it. At the same time that the Stan.
dara proposes to try TO reconcile the discord
every thing that it says is opposition TO harmony
and encouragement to rebellions. Not one
worl have we ever seen in the Standard, since
the Democratic Stale Convention, that was cal.
cuated todiscourage the Da sis faction. If Others
see differently, they read with different under
standing than ourselves.

his escape from the mob, and succeeded 10 hiding

into by the troops, killing and wounding some
fifty or sixty persons. Much dissatisfaction eX-
listed At last accounts, in reference to the man
ner in which the troops conducted themselves.
The newspapers Of the place condemn them, as
serting that at the time Of firing the mob were
quiet, showing no disposition TO renew their
evil design. But upon this point tie accounts
are conflicting. The authorities have determin-
cd that Gavszzi shall be allowedto continue bis
lectures after his return from New York, TO

an area of about iour hun Ired an fifty square
miles of country, AMI rendering bout three hun

destitute of every thing that nature demands 10

fire should sweep over an entire country like
thai, but it seems to have done so, and that too
at great expense 10 its inhabitants. and the loss
of two or three lives. Il is estimated that not
less than seven THOUSAND pounds will be requir-
ed to provide seed for the ground, and food for
this destitute population for four months.

The MonsreIs.

The present condition Of the political atmos-
phere in Mississippi is wonderously strange and
and truly disgusting. But few weeks since all
was apparently smooth and calm beneath The lit
lie waves that were cast out by here and there an
aspirant sail. This was the only question that
seemed TO disturb the elements, aoM the Demo-
cratic State Convention gire the Union s0ing any
Of the Offices, or shall they be slaughtered! If a
fair hand was shown in the convention, we were
promised peace and plenty. But 10! in these
few weeks past, since The Jackson Convention,
we have again seen thatall is not gold that shines.
The ocean that has but just settled down, aud
ceased TO cast up mire and dirt from the lowest
depths OF disorganization and mongrelism, is
now growing and groaning like distant thunder;
and ere long we expect to see its already billuwy
surface. foaming and frothing, and sending forth
the nauseous and loathsome breath of piracy,
plumber and treason. But come what may, we
are prepared for the worst.
Selhshness seems 20 be the ruling spirit Of the
day. Ne need not recite The condition of the
Democratic party in Mississippi, but il may be
proper to notice the fact that the whig organ oi
the State, the Flag Of the Union, has torn down

pi presents the following State Ticket: : Fol

OCT Col. A. K McClung has announced him
self as candidate for Congress in this district
not as an Independent candidate, nor a candi-
date subject to the decision of the whig corven-
ton; nor yet as the nominee of any convention.
This is a new policy by which aspirant can
reach the ballot box as party candidate. He
saws he does not wish to forestall the action of
the approaching convention. And saws that he
would not announce himself if there was any
probability that the approaching convention
would make different nomination. Well this
is pretty plain talk about ones own popularity,
however true it may be- But Col McClung is
smart, and knows how to take time bv the fore
lock! The reason given for his action upon the
part of the Colonel, is that Mr. Singleton has
raade appointments that will be filed be-
fore the whig convention shall-have made any
nomination and that no one will be able to
meet him. This, as every one can readily see,
is merely an excuse for the whig candidate might
follow the democratic nominee with full as much
advantage as to accompany him. However, the
democracy should not object TO the Colonels
course for it will render the success of their can
didate more certain. Col. McCung is a talen
tel man. an eloq ent speaker. and shrswd
wirew worker. and will require the democracy to
watch closely, or run the risk of defeat. All
hat is necessary with the democracy of this dis
irict, is to stand united in the cause. aud firm
against all plots and trickery. such as swapping
votes, &c. And by the by, the business of ira
ding votes is of the strong games of whig-
gerry and the means BY which more injury has
been done to the cause of democracy than any
other. save division in their own ranks. But
upon this subject, we shall have more to say in
future Then let the democracy of this district
start out with the determination to vote for. nor
encourage none other than the regular democrat
ic nominee, and that no vote shall be left uncasi
in November next--and VICTORY will be GER
TAIN!
