A BIG PEAcH.-A few days since, boy step

when, upon opening it, out rolled single peach
Al FIRST we doubted lis reality. and asked the boy
where it came from, and who sent it, but when
he answered, " MIR. Goosey," we knew it was a
jenuine peach, and soon "pitched into it." AS
ii gave wey before mighty jack-knile, and each
half rolled upon its back, it looked more like a
cantaloupe than peach! Two friends and our

HOMES COUNTY TICKET.

The sterling democracy of Holmes have put
forth strong ticket for the Legislature Our
cotemporary of the Lexington Advocate is their
candidate for State Scnator,-and we are glad to
see that his talents and active services are appfe-
ciated by the democracy of Holmes. D. J. Red,
Esq, is man Of quick discenment, active and
mtiring energy, and sound judgment--and
withal ready writer. Success to our cotempo
rary,-and we have no doubt it is in store for
him, with the noble, generous and patriotic de-
mocracy Of our sister county. Capt. J. w. Wade
and Hon. H. c. Adams. are the nominees for the
lower House. Capt. Wade Is well known as an
old and consistent denocrat--having served in
the Legislatures of Alabama and this State. OF
Mr. Adams, It is scarcely necessary to speak, his
course in the last Legislature being known to.
and highly approved of BY his constituents
With such ticket, how can the wings of Holmes
expect to battle successfully with the unlerri-

Some Time since, spoke of the opinion OF
the press out of the State, in reference to the
course of Gov. Foote-and gave few remarks
found in the New York Courier & Enquirer.-
We now give an extract from the Memphis Ap-
peal-than which there is not an abler end more
correct political paper in Tennessee. When a
State politician becomes the object of remarks,
and of censure from without his States limits,
there must be some grounds for it. But when
the course of such an one draws down the pen
of denuncication from an honest, impartial and
disinierested press, from all parts of the coun'
try, vile and black must indeed be his career:
MISSISSIPPI POLITICS.
The declared support which Gov. Foote is Civ
ing TO the Whig candidate for Congress in The
Sd District OF Mississippi. seems to us to settle
his position as hostile to the Democratic party
of that commonwealth. Col. McClung is al
old line, bold and declared Wing, whose position
is never under cloud, whose political opinions
are we'll understood and whom it is never nee
essaTy to inierrogate in order to ascertain whert
he stands. He was a supporter of the compro-
mise, and one of the independent and incoTrupt
ibIe leaders that refused to sustain Gen. Scott
in the contest of last year. But he is none the
less, on that account, an uncom promising Wing
of the Kentucky, Henry Clay school,. In declar'
ing his preference Tor him over MS competitor
Col. Singleton. the democratic candidate, Gov
Foote is forfeiting every claim ne may have pro
fessed TO have upon the Democracy for their sup
port as candidate for u. s. Senator. He ap
peals to the Union Democracy to sustain Col
McClung. But the Union Democrats have sl
ready united in the re-organizal lion of their par
ty, aud have declared the Union issue to be dead
and the compromise measures settled by the Bal
tinIOre platform and the acquiescence of the
country. Why then should the Union Demo
Gratis unite upon an old line Whig. like Colonel
McClung, since the compromise question is set
lied +? Aud why should Gov. Foote support
Col. McClung unless he intends to abandon hi;
party, and rely for support upon Wings and I'm
i'm Democrats alone? There is but one answer
GOV. Foote has determined to abandon his party
and endeavor to divide and sacri6ce its primer.
plies, in which experiment, we doubt not, he will
signaIIy fail and cover himself with the Tebuke
which his course merits.
