choice.
MEMPHIS AND GRENADA RAILRoAD.-The
Affairs of this road are represented as being in

bright and Frightening. The portion OF the
] ROAD AlrtAUF COnpfrteu Is very ltultutl dlAhrs
and its credit unsuTpassIBgly good. IL will

AN ABUNDANT IIELD.-It is said that DR..
H. DocKERY, of DeSoto, harvested this sea-
son thirty bushels CT wheat TO the acre. The
wheat crops throughout North Mississippi are
represented TO be unusually fine this year.

CONVICTIONS by The WARREN CoUKT.

JAMES RIVERS, convicted of house-breakiHg
and larceny, were sentenced to the penitentiary
for the term of five years each. CLAUDIous
RAwLs, indicted for the murder of JAMES TY-
LER, was acquitted.
NEGEo MURDRERs ARKEsTED.--We learn
from the Natchez Courier that testimony has
recently been discovered fixing the guilt of the
murder Of DUNeAS SKINsER, which occurred
some weeks since, upon three negroes. They
have been arrested and lodged in Jail. SKINNER
was their Oyerseer.
A VALUABLE CoMPIMENT FROM POLITICAL
ENEMY-The Fieksburg Wig makes the fol-
lowing compliment notice of the nominees Of the
late Democratic State Convention. Where an
opponent is so well pleased with the standard
bearers of the Mississippi Democracy, it would
be strange if these gentlemen did not prove
more than usually acceptable to our party
friends in State. Bye-the-bye, this is not
the first time the Vieksburg Wing mas given
evidence that its editor breathes an atmosphere
high above the fOggy air which blinds mems
eyes and unf.is them to DO justice to political
opponents. The Mississippi Democracy will,
doubtless, thank the Wkig for the compliment
written, and the officers they have selected will
endeavOr well to deserve it:
The DEMOCRATIC CoNvENrIox.-The unter-
rifsd Democracy Of our State have reason 20
congratulate themselves upon their Convention
at Jackson on Monday and Tuesday. Il was
PROFESSIONALLY the fullest representation we
have ever seen assembled in Mississippi, two
counties only being unrepresented. In appear
aRce it was highly respectable, and besides be-
ing harmonious, was slightly uproarieus.
Of the nominees we need say but little. Col,
Nc Willie, the nominee for Governor, is a very
estimable gentleman-a man OF education. Of
grea. kindness Of heart and fair average a 5ility.
he will make a capable and respectable chief
magistrate, and we have no doubt that bis
pledge 20 be " the Governor Of the State and
not the Governor of a party" will be honestly
redeemed. The selection Of Col. Melville is
so much better than we had reason to fear, that
we are inclined to thankom Demcefaticfriende !
for the wisdom of their choice. If we must 4
have Democratic rulers, it is a Qualification to
know that We are to be ruled by one who is a
gentleman, as well BY instinct as by education
and habit.
The nomination Of Thos. J. Wharton, ESQ.
for the Office OF Attorney General, gave US, as
an outsider, great satisfaction. Mr.. Whsrtonis
an old personal friend, an excellent gentleman,
and a lawyer OF fine talents, besides being a man
OF extraordinary energy and hrst-rste business

bors in the cause, richly entitle him to the honor
conferred upon him, and for one we rejoice in
his good fortune.
Ot the old officers Ts6Gminsted, wehaFe aoth-
ing to say Aiessrs. DiIworth, S1cAfee and Hus-
sey, are known to the people of the State, anc
The highest con liment they csnreceive is found
In the fact that they are universally recognized
as excellent public officers, men who combine
with fidelity. We have no reason to
ioubt that they will do as well In future as they
have in the past.
CorToY BLoeMs.-We learn from the Valley
Planter Of the 26th inst, published at Friar's
Point, that cotton blooms were seen several

cOahona county. This is remarkably early
cotton blooms. The same paper reports the
Of insects among the cotton crore.
HoSoR TO GENERAL QUIrNAN.-The annex
ID toast was drank at the dinner given to Gen.
lUITHAN at hatcher, on the 10Th inst:
GEN. JOHN A. QUITMAx-A chief among
;hieftsins, whether m civil or military life
be unanimous choice of the Democracy for
reelection to Congress,
