versal attention not only for the beauty Of
the store itself, but FOR its splendid stock of
dry goods, embracing every article from the
finest and most exquisite, to the most superior
articles Of the coarsest texture, appertaining to

been at great expense in identifying and pre-
pairing their store for the cold weather, which

Party drill, says the vicksburg Wing, has
uumphed over common decency, and com.
mon honesty, and the county of Lauderdale has
been hitched on to the fourth Congressional
district, for the avowed purpose of overcoming
che American majority in this district. The
Legislature Of Mississippi has decided that mi.
norities have no rights, and in giving this de-
cison it has clearly established the fact that
majority Of its members have no shame. The
assembled wisdom Of Mississippi has perpetrated
an act o. indecency which has no parallel in the
history Of the country. Perhaps, however, it
right A former Legislature disgraced the
State by population. and the members Of the
present one have succeeded in finding a lower
%eep. We have no time this morning for COM
nent on this high-handed outrage, and merely
append the result as furnished US by friend At
Jackson. He writes as follows:

err the ehemy surrounded the town AMI took charge
of the entire beach, cutting off all communication
betwe en- it and the town. This did not seem,
however, to deter the army in their work of de-
