The MILITARY RmHl.

The Ball given BY the Volunteer Com
pany of this place, on Tuesday night the lst
inst, was grand affair. When all the rest had
assembled in the Hall, the company, in full uni
form, marched into the room in regular order,
presenting splendid sight to the spectator
This company, though small. is composed of
men OF worth and merit, and they exhibited
great deal OF nobleness and high spirit upon this
occasion. The buttons" were bright. hst their
souls shone forth with more brilliant ,avs and
made more lasting Impression upon all--no.
not all;-for there were some Of the bright eyed
girls who we believe saw nothing but buttons
during that night. Even. in their dreams. after
they Lad retired TO their refreshment couches--
tiere the little shining brlliants that had filled
their visionary organs for the last five or six
hours, played before their sleepless imaginations
like dangling stars upon the trembling ocean.
We dare say that in their wanderings, during
the few hours between the breaking up of the
ball and the summons to breakfast-or perhaps
dinner--they witnessed that little band of pa
triots buckle on their swords, shoulder their
muskets and take passage on the t" "Campbell"--
where all Yazoo were assembled to take an af.
fectionate, but fearful leave of them. Amid
the shril Of fife and the beat ofdrums, they heard
the last shout of patriotism that rose from the
lips of those faithful soldiers and 10 yers of free
dom, as it rolled back on er the murky waters oil
the Yazoo, and died away upon their listening
ears, and lonely hearts. Till then, the presence
OF other friends-not covered with the glitter.
ing emhlems of war--was unknown by them
But, in their night visions they saw more-they
followed them to the Island of Cuba or Central
America, or perhaps to Japan, and there wit
messed their triumphant entry into the land and
halls of those rich and fertile regions. And we
dare say, that, so strong was the impression
made upon their minds eye" by the buttons, "
at the Hall, that they even followed this "uni-
FORM to the halls of the enemy, but now in
possession of Americans, where they Were cele-
brating their triumph with festivals and balls.
This brings us back to the Odd Fellows Hall,
where we started. The Military Company had
made great preparations-the Hall was prepared
with care, and lighted in beautiful style. The
music was good-the supper rare and abundant
the wines and champagnes pure and sparkling
walters plenty and attentive--in short, moth
ing was wanting. Anticipations, and hope long
deferred, were that night fully realized

The YazOo City Gunrds.

Great efforts are being made on the part of the
members, to make this permanent and interes-
ting corps, and many Of our citizens are coop
Grating in these efforts, with hearty good will
AS the company is now upon permanent basis.
many who would not join it while its fate was
somewhat in doubt, will now become members.
Heretofore music has been great deslderatum,
but We understand that brass band is about to
be formed which will no doubt supply this def
cheney. While upon this subject, we would
throw out suggestion to the ladies of our city.
The company is in much need of banner, and
we know that ensign Dixon would take peculiar
delight in unfolding one to the breeze made by
their fair hands. The ladies' we are satisfied
have heretofore been ignorant of this fact, or
they would have moved in the matter before
now. They would confer never to-be-forgo:t,
ten favor upon the corps, by taking it IN hand
now. 1t is impossible for failure to attend
their efforts.

OT Chancellor Scott has decided that the
State is liable for the payment of the Union
Bank Bonds. His reasoning shows much weak
ness of mind, as well as want of good grounds
for the decision. The matter will be carried up
to the High Court of Eerors and Appeals, where
that decision will most certainly be reversed.
The rigmaIole of bombast, and apparent sim
cerity of the Chancellor's convictions are indeed
simple, to say the least of them. The mass of
words is too great to admit of an insertion, if
we were disposed to fill our paper with nothing.
One broad and inexcusable departure from the
well known principles of law--namely, that
a material part or portion of an entire act OF a
legislative or law making body, being void, does
not invalidate the whole or any other portion of
such act. is sufficient to show to our minds, the
weakness or insincerity of any man pretending
to be lawyer
But as this matter will be decided by
another and abler court, we will say no more
upon it at present. The Mississippian is re-
viewing the decision in detail; and such anoth-
er drubbing as it gives the Chancezor's decree,
we have seldom been permitted to read AS the
Democratic Review would say" skin him
alive" MiSSissippi0n.

By private letters from Havana, we learn that

part of Spanish officers in the slave-tradina op-
erstions in Cuba, Gen. Canedo assured the
British, commander that It had never been bis
intention to insult the officers of the British
Government or TO reflect upon their conduct ii
any way, and that immediate examination
should be made into the claims OF British sub

A MACHINE TO DRESS MILL SToNEs.-We learn
from the ST. Louis (Mo.) Democrat, that ma
chine has been invented in that city, by which
mill stones may be dressed with as much neat
ness and precision, as by the old fashioned hand
pick. There have been many attempts made to
invent machine of this kind before, but it has
never, heretofore, proved successful. There is
machine used for that purpose in England, and
one in France also, but neither of them will
dress pair of stones as well as the hand pick.
Further information from this invention will
be interesting.

Elecrionl by GeaAcrnl TIcket.

We see BY the last Mississippian and Flag,
that the Governor has ordered the election of
the five Congressmen, to be elected next fall, by
general ticket. A question has been raised by
some of our democratic contemporaries, Of which
we have before spoken, whether the State Con
vention shall nominate all FIVE; or whether the
Old districts shall select four, and State Conyen-
ton one. We have expressed the opinion that
the latter should nominate ALL We have seen
no reasons for change in this opinion. We
hope that full delegation will appear in that
Convention, aud that they will come prepared
to act harmoniously. II all sections of the State
are to be called upon to support the candidates,
we think that they should collectively nominate
all. But we also think a candidate should be
chosen from each of the old districts-and have
no doubt there viii be, by the State Conven-
tion. If any of the districts should refuse to
come into the Convention, and the State Com
venuon should nominate five candidates, who
should receive majority of the votes of the State
at large, the district candidate would be defeated.
So, if. through obstinacy, any section SHOULD
fly off from the State Convention, defeat with
them would be certain to follow. Let us hear
no more contention, and all come up 10 the glc-
rious work prepared to harmonize.

or It affords us great pleasure to publish the
aIticle found in another column of to-da,s pa
per, in reference to the " Yszoo Library Associa-

our worthy citizens. as to the great necessity for
something of this kind. AS our correspondent
truly says our citizens are driven to ten-pin al.

or perhaps to worse place--the gambling ta-

&C. To Charles A. Leake, member of the Leg

copy Of the Governors Message, delivered to the
Legislature Of California. on the 3rd of January

on or about February Id" has not come at ALL
