The Baltimore American says =" In times of dis
infat the unPmDIOVp0
the cities They throng in droves from the country
towns and places to the larger agomerations Of human
iy as if they certain to find assylums and relief
among the many. This is a sad error In times like
the present the poor and the unemployed should scatter
from the large cities through the country The chances
Of obtaining some employment far greater. There
is abundance of food and fuel the two great wants every
where except IN the cities and thousands of comfortable
houses be found, where if money wages cannot be
procured life at least be supported in comfort and
without suffering until better times The poor and
employed it. therefore, to themselves first, to keep
away from the large cities and second those cities
should seek abroad home shelter for the winter
They may not find the work to which they acCus-
toned nor receive the wages they wont to earn but
food and shelter for that and paid for
by their labor is better than starvation and dis
tress in the streets Of city or the alternative of
ceiving charity"

lZed him to declare against England and that large
contributions are being made to the State Treasury by

laid upon resident foreigners and that there is not the
least abatement in the war feeling.
GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI ON BANK1NG.-Gov Nc
RaeS vaediCtOry message to the Legislature of Misss
ippi is devoted wholly to State matters The leading
point of the message is its reference to bank institutions
In regard to them he says:
As remarkable as it may scem with the past history
of the banking system in Mississippi fresh in our memo
ries sentiment has recently grown up in parts of
the State in favor of renewing it at your present session
can only say that think the time unpropitious for
its advocates to make the experiment Believing that
the Legislature will not for moment consider such
a proposition | will not waste your time by presenting
my objections to it. They patent upon the whole
face of the country in the ruin of the banking system
before us, and felt by all [ prefer to recommend
stringent legislation, to restrain the small banks yet
have from issues in future, and to compel them,
under penalty of forfeiture of their charters to redeem
their notes at all times in gold and silver Also to pre-
further evils and losses to the people, from the cir
culation of foreign bank paper in our State"
COL Aaron Finch was a distinguished Democratic poll
tcan in Indiana He had some thoughts Of emf grating
to Arkansas and meeting gentleman from that part
Of the country asked him what the inducements to
remove to that State Particularly he inquired about
the soil The gentleman informed him that the land was
good but in some parts very sandy. Col. Finch then
asked about the politics Of Arkansas and the prospects
Of stranger getting ahead.
VERY good was the reply. The Democratic par
~ strongly III the ma jOrity but to succeed man
must load himself down with revOlvers and bowie-knyeS
and fight his way through"
"Oh, we'll said the Colonel ION the whole from what
you say, think Arkansas would not suit rather
think the soil is little too SandyF
