H TIE MISSISSIPPI Observation-Disclosures for State
officers, Legislators and county officers take place in
Mississippi to-day. Though there is Attls excite
rnent prevailing. there can hardly be q shadow of
doubt as to the result. The, Democratic ticket will
be elected beyond all question. Under ordinary cir
custaaees this would be matter of the usual regret
experienced by those belonging to the opposition side
but as things now stand, there is especial reason
for mourning. So far as knowledge extends, all
the gentlemen running for Congress, or for State
Offices, have denounced the Walker Buchanan Kansas
iniquty, and occupy, substantially, the same posi-
ton occupied by the Crescent since the first indica
ton of Walkers treason to the South.
| The gallant and glorious old warriorstatesman-
| Gen. John A. Quitman-has no opposition in the
Fifth Congressional District. He will probably re
ceive an unanimous vote-so universal is the respect
and admiration his ellowctizens entertain for him
without distinction of party. A nobier man nevel
breathed, and truer Southerner does not live.
Ex-Governor A.G. Brown will be, unquestionably
reelected to the Senate. Aside from his great per
sonal and political popularity, he has placed himself
SO fair and square on platform Of opposition to tht
| policy Of Walker and the administration in Kansa
that no one not determined upon being censorious
without rhyme or reason, can well object to hi
views. Wa 4gs1 ga, --.ust
So, from these facts, it is clearly evident that tn
cause of the South will be the gamer in Mississippi
no matter which side wins this day. The American
candidates are all right as matter of COURSE all tru
Southern men. f .r5

A LITTLE GIRL ATTACKED WITH HYDRoPHoBIA.
Our citizens will remember that few weeks ago we
chroncled the fact that little girl was bitten by
rabid dog on jackson street. We have now the sad
Office to speak of her again, since that terrible mala
dy, hydrophobia, has taken hold of her with all of
its horrible malignity. On Wednesday, her agonies
were such that physicians who have become veterans
in their profession men who have stood at the bed
sides of those suffering under almost all manner of
diseases and witnessed many heartrending death
scenes, shuddered at the sight Of that little girls
convulsed form. Her sufferings were most piteous.
Frothing at the mouth, she would bend backward
until her head would almost reach her heels, so in
tense was the pain, and only recovered to be con
yused again. Medicines were administered, and even
that powerful remedy chloroform, without avail and
only when nature became exhausted did her convul
sions cease. Yesterday morning she was quite low
her attending physician, DR.. Dorm, did not expect
her to live ont the day, and we suppose that now
while the reader is gancng over this account, hei
little spirit has taken its leave of its earthly taber

alarmists expected The telegraph adyices received
about one o'clock caused the most unpleasant feel.
ings Of the day. The reported failure Of p Chouteau,
Jr in New York, and Clark, Dodge Co., will carry
many in ST. Louis and other places in the West. 1t
appears that almost every branch of trade is ex-
panded, and the end it is feared by many close and
observant persons is not yet. However, this COM
mnnity is doing very well, and all the trouble has
arisen from outside. st
The receipts of cotton since Saturday morning, up
to o'clock last evening, were, by the Magnolia, from

An INVERTED PuFF.-The Oswego Palladium con-
tans notice, written by correspondent, of lecture
lately delivered in that city by lady medium He
says it was composed of every possible combination
of unmeaning and high sounding poysyllabes, inter-
spersed with circular gestures, and garnished with
pulsations, and acmes and elements and throbbings
and essences, and out growngs, and elimination and
argute sprituastic cognoscences 1t was, if we can
catch the rat, attenuated concatenaon of meliuous
syllable accentuation, projected tangentialy from
chaotic nonentity, and pulsating in harmonious
circumbendbus 1t was, in plain English, nonsense

q PIsroL SHOOTING MATCH BETwKEN JOHN TRAVIS
AND CAPT. PAUL-The second and final contest be-
tween these gentlemen came OF on the 26th nit, and
resulted n faYor of Paul, making the whole match
drawn one. The Republican Of the following day
says: ss5ts ia ,,5ts .ssfs
L The first match was the one proposed by MrTravis
and, as WAS generally expected, won by him; the
second, which came of yesterday, was Capt. Paurs
arrangement, and was won, as was also anticipated,
by him. SEA sfess
b The distance shot on yesterday was 102 feet by
Paul and 80 feet by Travis the first shooting at rest
with his pistol on desk, and the latter OF hand.
The targets china plates about the size Of an
ordinary dessert plate, some six inches in diameter,
and which, under the rule and contract between them
were to be struck and broken. They fired as upon
the first match, five shots each, alternately.
Paul, on the first round broke three plates out Of
| five. isss sl
Travis, first round, broke two out Of five. fE
Second round each broke four plates out Of five.
| Third round, each broke five plates.
Fourth round, Paul broke all five Of the plates.
Mr.. Travis did not shoot the fourth round from the
fact that he could not win, inasmuch as if he had
broken the five plales, he still would have been a
4 loser by one plate.
There was considerable excitement at this time
among the friends and adherents Of the various par
| ties, which at one time threatened general row.
| 1t is proper to state that the original wager fol
81 600 between the parties on this match was with
shootng-Mr. Travis objecting to Capt Panl's shoot
| ing with rest-and the match may be said to have
| been shot independently. For our part we are fret
to confess that the whole matter is unsatisfactory
and, SO far as deciding between the claims and pre-
1 tensions of the two gentlemen named as the cham
pion shots of the world is most unsatisfactory. Their
are amateurs in this city who do as well as tn
shooting done be either gentleman on each occasion
We do not believe they could, under the same cir
| cumstances, Mr.. Republican
