Mr.. EDIroR.-There is no disput-
ing in matters of taste much less in
things where the nose, or as my polite
neighbor expresses himself) where the
olfactory organs sit in judgement -
We enjoy the reputation Of living in a
healthy place, but I fear this will not
long continue, if the yards and cnclos-
ures of our good citizens, are not often
visited by the Town Constable, and
the ordinances enforced. What with
hot suns, and frequent showers, upon
us, at this season of the year, it would
be strange indeed, if the legitimate
fruits of decaying Vegetable and ami
NAL matters should not ripen, spread
ing disease and death. in our midst
Any one passing along some of our
streets, does not require the eye to in
form him, a little lime, at certain
points, would not come amiss; and if
be took the trouble to peep, be might
without any great stretcl, of fancy, i'm
agine himself amongst Hottenrots, if
filth anil stencil, could force such
conclusion. To all sober, earnestness,
is it not the season, when the city au-
thorities, should stir themselves in
these matters, for their own, and the
public safety. Oh. for nose and
stomach of a hyena-what a WORLD of
trouble and expense would be saved in
enforcing sanitory laws.

TThe TRUE DELTA says that the
Louisiana delegation, to the New York
exhibition, consists of 9 Honorables,
3 Generals, 4 Colonels, l Major, 2
Doctors Of phgsic, 6 Esquires, and one
citizen, plain man, with an unhand-
led name, intended we suppose, to
represent the rank and file Of the
People" The Delta tells us the un-
titled individual, is PnANoR PRUD-
HoMME. How the mistake of his ap-
pointment could have "crept in we
are at loss to conjecture. We hold
that no man has right to a place in
any public meeting-where "the pub
lie in its purity is to be represented, )"
without title. Will somebody make
out a correct list of the ''titled" ipdiv-
iduals, who made up the great gass
convention at Memphis Some Of
"owr country" contemporaries will do
the press great service to furnish this
information.

GENTLEMEN YOU MUST NOT GET PER-
soNAL.-The following extract is from
the Visa Vas. IF there is not some
private and friendly understanding
between the Gazette and the VS., we
shall have to step in between the
two, before they come to personalities.
Look at the beautiful moroccan and
see if it does not begin to wear that
complexion:
I'VE do not knou who the writer
of the Gazette is, but this we do know,
that he is an ass, totally ignorant of
the English language, or he supposes
his readers to be dolts and blockheads;
otherwise he would never attempt so
stupid construction upon our re-
marks"

TAt the foot of Church street
we are pleased to see the corporation
hands at work ,. digging to discover
the cause of the annual caving in at
that point. By reference to the pro-
ceedings of the Town council it will
be found, that ever since the town was
a place, annual appropriations have
been made to fill up the street at tLat
point SO as to keep it passable. We
learn that a large spring has been
discovered which it will be necessary
to hem in with masonry, in order to
makethe street secure.

CoTToN FALSELY PAcKED.-The
Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, of Mon.
day 9th ulto., says:
A great deal Of cotton falsely pack
ed has been shipped from our port
during the. past season. We have
Just heard Of one lot which was pur-
chased in this market last January
and shipped to New Orleans, the lot
consisting Of forty-two bales of cotton
three bales Of which proved to be
water packed. Two of the bales were
detected in New Orleans previous to
the sale of the list in that market /;
but one was not ascertained to be
damaged until after it had been sold,
among the rest at 81 cents. This
bale was very heavy, weighing about
GA pounds, and sold for about sixty
six dollars. The false packing how
ever, was discovered after the sale.
and the bale has just been returned by
tho purchaser to the commission mer-
chant in this city. 1t is so thorough
ly water packed as to be almost en-
tirely worthless, and was sold at auc-
ton for $40, leaving about $48 loss
to the purchaser in this city. This
loss he has paid to the commission
merchant, and he must now look to
the planter for justice.
We regret to say that this is only
one of the many cases of this sort, and
We trust it will be the last. It is very
disreputable to pack cotton falsely.
1t Injuries the standing Of the market
in which it is originally sold; it is
stigma upon the planter, and puts all
parties to great inconvenience and ex-
pense.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN PH1LADEL-

ult., the roof of the Old Masonic Hall,
in Chestnut street, Philadelphia, fell in
with tremendous crash. The Hall
was, at the time, in process Of demoli-
ton, and number of workmen en-
gagged in the work were buried in the
ruins. The Evening Bulletin says
three bodies were very soon taken out,
and it was feared that as many as ten
lives were lost.
