| Our Yazoo City friends win be glad to
learn that Mr.. F. w. Barttaile, one Of our
merchants, who has been lying dangerous
II lin this house for the last Week, is reeOv-
ering.- thanks to young and strong con-
stitution and the superior skill and devoted
attention of DR.. Wilson who came down
from Yazoo city to attend him, Mr.. Bart
tales case was a desperate one and all speak
in high terms Of its management by Dr..
Wilson. It affords Us pleasure to state this,
as We know Of no gentleman that deserves
success more than be does. We prophesy
useful and eminent professional career for
DR.. Wilson of Yazoo City.
One Of our fellow passengers on the S. S.
PRENr4ss. and who has been staying With
US here for some days, is our young friend
Mr., B. CHEW, who is on his way to Mem
phis. where he is going to practice the pro-
fession Of the law. He belongs to one Of
our oldest and most respectable YazoQ fam
lilies, and we regret to see him going away
to seek bis FORTUNE in another State. But
it is the way Of the World-the young birds
fly away from the old nest when il gets too
small for their ambitious wings. TO our
Memphis friends and subscribers, we spe-
cially commend Mr.. RoBERr CHEw as a
young man whom we have known several
years, and one of fine talents and promise.
We predict a brilliant future for him where
ever bis lot is cast.
The only topic of conversation when we
arrived here, vas Mr.. Fillmore's visit Of the
Jay previous. Everybody wanted to know
why we did not come the day before, and
our reply was like the old Africans, cause
! come now" Some were so complim3pta-
ny as to say, that if we had telegraPhed
that We were coming, Mr.. Fillmore would
have waited for us. OF course he would.
But Vicksburg would have blown up or
bursted. or something would have happen
ed lift had been keptin the state Of high ex-
element in which the ExPresident's visit
hrew it, an hour longer. Mr.. Kennedy, the
Ex-Secrctary of the Navy, seems to have
made beautiful impression, especially up
IN the ladies. They all say that he is a
splendid old fellow. One of bis happiest
tits was made in speaking Of the Mississip-
ii river. He said, neither himselfor MI.
Fillmore had ever seen the great river be-
Iore-that it had been called the father Of
Baters-but for his part he thought it
ought to be called the GrQndfa.her of Wa
ers. Well done Mr.. Kennedy.
In speaking ofthc furore occasione by
he visit of Mr.. Fillmore friend has re-
minded US of an amusing instance that oc-
cured here in II or AZ. when Mr.. Clay
vent down the river, and stopped at the
aading to receive the good people Of Vicks-
burg. who can bea. creation at demonstra-
ions of that kind. You all remember Mon
iieur Hudebert who used to keep s roster
mt in Jackson. He was tremendousi'
vhig, and an admirer of the great leader Of
'ur party. HESRY Clay lie was appoint
d, you will remember. TO The Consulship
# Lyons by General Taylor. and the De-
nocraey throughout the country made 3
reatstir because Cook had been given >
oreign appointment. But when it was
nown that the Office was not worth but one
undred dollars year al saw the wisdom
fthe administration in giving Ha.dy, as they
allied him, the post, as no one that couldn't
ook for hinasegf could afford 70 take it The :
