Mississippi Intelligence.

The Alfalfa County Chronicle, of Friday last, says:
We regret to state that an alarming nalady, par
taking Of the most malignant character of bloody
fux, is prevailing in the southern part of Choctaw
county, and proving very fatal. We heard of one
gentleman who buried four of his children in five
days, and Of another, who buried his wife and one
child in two days, and Of number OF families which
have lost from to two and three members within
the last few weeks. At last accounts the disease was
as virulent as ever. "a. tg .4.Iy

The river is gradually rising at this place. Rain
the last ten days, and it still continues to be showery
every day. The corn crop is maturing finely, and
cotton growing faster than we saw it grow be-
fore but we fear it is running too much to weed for
good crop.
The new crop of wheat Zine and abundant) Is
already being manufactured into flour, and has re-
eved numbers from the necessity Of buying corn,
while the new crop OF corr in many instances is now
available in roasting ear form, SO that the amount of
old corn sold after this, will necessarily be limited,
and must go at reduced price.
The Kosciusko Democrat Of the 7th says:
The weather for weeks has been very favorable to
the people of county, with the exception of the
neghborhood east of and adjoining Koscinsko, where
they have been visited with floods of rain To give
an idea of the extent of damage done to that neigh
borhood, we might mention the fact that the over
flow was deep enough in two or three farms that we
have heard FROM to wash off fields of oats that were
shocked up in them. 1t is said that such rains have
not been witnessed for than ten years past the
crops in that particular neighborhood therefore, have
been greatly injured throughout our county. With
that exception seasons have been moderate and crops
are promising. A larger yield of corn is anticipated
than has been realized for years.

NUMBER 1877.

MECHANICS MEETSs.-A meeting of mechanics,
who felt themselves injured by negro competition =
was held at Wilmington, N. G., on Thursday night,
having been called in consequence of certain contracts
for work having been given to slaves. After some
speech-making they adjourned.
We copy the above item from the Times of yester-
day afternoon, with the view Of making some COM
ments upon it. The mechanics of Wilmington were
right in arrayng themselves against negro competi
tlon" We trust they will succeed in breaking down
that " competition" 1t ought to be broken down
everywhere. 1t is unjust, unnatural and impolitic
But, Notwithstanding our objections to NEGRO
competition as against white labor we would sooner
see such competition prevail than "competitionr
established by the last Democratic Senate Of Louisiana
which brought the labor of convicted and sentenced
thieves, robbers villains, cutthroats pckpockets,
assasns, etc., in direct competition with the labor Of
honest artisans and skilled mechanics.
During the month Of February last, bill to lease
the State Penitentiary passed the Senate. On the
10th OF February, prior to the final passage Of the
bill, Senator Burlington, Of East Baton Rouge offered
an amendment to prohibit the lessess from enpouing
the labor Of concicts in such branches of mechanical
arts ,could bring the products of their labor in
competition ,cith that of the mechanics of Baton
Rouge and the mechanics of other portions of the
State. ". "-z r 81
This just and salutary amendment of Senator Buff
fington was rejected by the following vote a
Ayes-De Russy, Defreese, Evans, Griffin, Hyams,
Locoul, McMurdo Martel, Oliver, Peilerin Phillips,
Richardson Scott, Simms St. Paul and Sterling-l6.
| Nays-Buffngton, Chew, Ducros, Gardere, Heard
Lavergne, Munday, Olivier, Pearce, Taylor and
Woods-1l. .a III -g. Ina
With two exceptions, every Senator voting against
Mr.. Bufhngton's amendment was and is Democrat.
The only American Senator from the parish Of Or
leans-Mr. Lavergne voted for it, and Messrs.
Hyams, McMurdo and St. Paul, Democratic Senators,
voted against it. So it will be seen that, on test
question, the Democratic Senate of the State of
Louisiana voted to degrade the labor of the honest
mechanic to the level of that of the branded elon
From this showing of indisputable factsyft is evi
dent that the mechanics of Wilmington have not hall
the reason to complain that the mechanics of Lousi
ana have. The honest negro competition" they
are brought in contact with is not near as repuIsyt
as the :. competition y of conyicts and felons tt
which the Senate of this State voted to subject ou1
mechanics to! Therefore, let the men of Whining
ton rejoice instead of repinng their lot They
are not as badly treated as their brethren.

ATTACK By INDIANS UPON THE SAN DIEGO MAIL.
In the San Antonio Herald of the 9TH inst We ind
the following:
The San Antonio and San Diego mail train, under
about 100 Apaches on the 25th of July last near the
upper crossing of DEVILS river. The mail party con-
sisted of Capt Wallace and five men, one six mule
coach and twenty-five head of horses. One OF the
mail BOYS was killed. Wallace was himself wounded.
W. Clifford, of New Orleans, was killed. The mail
party fought them for about two hours but the In
dians were too numerous they took all the mules,
coach saddles and in fact all that the mail party had.
Only five of the men escaped with their lives, and
came back foot to where company of soldiers
were encamped, within about sixteen miles Of the
scene of action.
This is sad news but we learn from Mr.. George
Giddings, of this place, who is interested in the
tract that it will not deter them from going ahead
with the mail. The first mail is supposed to have
cotton on safely. We learn that Mr.. Geo. Giddings
will accompany the next party on the 9th inst in per-
son, as far as Ell Paso.
Geo. E. Flynt ESQ., sutler at Fort Mason, writes to
gentleman in this place from his post under date of
July 49, 1851, stating that gentleman who arrived
at that place the day before from Mckayitt, and
who had accompanied Major Chiffon from the Colo
RADIO to the Concho reports that party of Indians,
twenty in NUMBER including three lancers, charged
upon them twice. No shots were exchanged, us they
were ghtened at the imposing appearance of Major
Chiltons escort. The Indians were well mounted,
and had watched the Majors party for twenty -four
hours previous to making the charge.

Plea for Walker AnnihIlated.

The following, from the Jackson Mssissippian of
the 4th ins is entitled to the consideration of the
Southern public:
Col. CLAIBoRSE's PLEA FOR WALKER.-We under.
stand that our worthy friend and sometime cores
pondent, Col j. F. H. Claiborne, has published long
letter panegyrizing Bob Walker. We learn that with
ornate and flowing dicton and rhetorical pomp Col
c. has recounted the past services of the new Go
vernon in the of the South, and has earnestly
appealed to the indignant public in his behalf.
Possibly if Col. c. had balanced the accounts be-
tween the reacherous Governor and the South before
the commttal of his recent bad acts, he would have
found that Walker still her debtor. Did not Mis-
ssspp receive him in his earlier and purer days with
generous contdence-confer respectability and posi-
ton upon him-and when he went back to take up
his abode in his native North did he not return loaded
with the honors which she, alas too generous had
heaped upon him?
But pray what have Walkers Senatorial services,
his Senatorial honors his Texas letter and all that
to do with his official inuertion in Kansas-his iso-
thermal decree officially promulgated against South
ern institutions in that Territory-his nsoent man
dates to the Constitutional Convention and his threat
that unless it obeyed him, Congress and the Execu-
tive would not permit Kansas to come into the
Union-in word, his general violation of the Kan.
sas bill and the Democratic creed to the detriment of
the saveholding States-we ask what have Walkers
past acts and honors however eloquently portrayed
to do with these undenied and undenable accusations
| against him.
Col Claiborne is the only writer of either party in
Mississippi who has yet braved public opinion by the
offer of an apology for Walker. If he has anything
more to say we invoke him to face the music and en-:
poy his ingenuity with the practical issues which are
now pending. The most whitening and crushing com
mentary upon Walkers acts is furnished by his apollo
gzers in their utter failure to meet the grave charges
on which he has been arraigned at the bar of public
opinion.
The foregoing, from the principal Democratic jour
nal in Mississippi annihates Mr. Claibornes plea for
Walker. The migrate and traitor is fully disposed Of
as we trust those who endorse and sustain him at
Washington will be hereafter.

THE OLDEST MANA correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican, writing from Elwood, X. T., says
One who lives on his claim, near the edge of this
city, is perhaps the Oldest in America. If not
will venture small wager that he is the most active
man of his age. He is a Mr.. James O'Tooe. He was
born in the county of Donegal, in TIE North of Ire
land, somewhere about the year 1870. He was an
old man in the Irish rebellion of l79S when, becom-
ing implicated with Lord Fitzgerald, he fled his coun-
try to seek freedom in then young Republic. His
life has been checkered with many changes He has
been tossed about among various scenes, and by
many diverse circumstances. He moved to st. Louis
thirty years ago, and established the first brewery
there He moved to the Platte Purchase in 1888, and
lived in Buchanan county, near Bloomington, until
two years ago, when he came to Kansas and made a
pre-empton, and can walk eight ten miles with
to visit his friends attend to business affairs.
He says his age is about one hundred and twenty-five
years.

LOOK TO THE SCoUNDRELs.-From facts that have
to knowledge, there is but little doubt that
there is an organized band of negro stealers and
horse thieves extending through the State of Msis
sssippi. The negro is seduced from his master under
the tune of freedom the general places of rendez
vous seems to be Port Gibson and Grand Gulf
Strangers appear in county well dressed and well
mounted, who are acquainted with the locality of dit
terent plantations and the Of the negroes be-
longing to them Several horses and negroes have dis
appeared The general plan seems to be for the negro
to runaway and meet those that entice them away
given day at one of the above points. The points
are well chosen either for running them off the river
or across the country into the State of Texas. The
latter is their destiny We believe No doubt that
there is in that State awess band of desperadoes
organized for that purpose, and terrible retrlbu-
ton has oyertaken of them in that State lately
about San Antonio. We bespeak for all of that sort
engaging in these depredations upon society the same
summary and terrible punishment. The difficulty of
procuring testimony, and the uncertainty of convict
ing such offenders, renders it absolutely necessary
that the community should redress the outrages,
promptly and slgnally.
