could entirely supply his place.
There are a number Of members who
would Io credit TO amy deliberatiyc body.
/ prominent among whom stands Ex-Goy-
/ cgu0r WHITFIELD, Of L1wnde.: a man of
mature years, sound Judgment, great in-
I du.trv. and distinguished for his simuliei-
/ ty Of manner and las straightforward
practicab.lity. lie has much experience
in lari slltivc service, and paid the present
/ House q high compliment by aging chat,
| twas the most sober, digniGed. &c.. Of
any lac had ever seen assembled at Jack

/ Mr. GoRDoS, OF Wilkinson. IS also q man
of ripe years, large experience. and pos
sess iudclatisahle energy. lie is the able
chairman Of the Judiciary Committee. a
I position orwhich he is admirably quali-
1 fed. having engaged extensively for over
/ thirty years in the practice of law.
Nr. SuEDEs. of Warren. is the first de.
baterin the lIouse-always matter OF him.
/ self and Of the suljcct-neycr speaks bu.
when it Is necessary. and then he is sur,
to make ten strike" The argument.
Of his opponents fall before him ike grain
Z before the -cyth@aean. lie IS q Chester.
Geld in his general bearing.
M. WILSON. OF Claiborne. is mo.he,
fine debatcr, very forciJle and pointed
never divcrsing from the line Of his sub
iect. and never using superhuou- word
! He is nervous and intense in his manner
And now, come to speak of one who
is soon to occupy very prominent place
before the people of Mi-sissippi-IIon
Tnos !. HuDsoN, of Marshall County
From demonstrations being already made
am convinced that he has the insid,
track for the next Governorship. and tho
Others are spoken Of none question Mr.
HuDsoS's eminent qualifications for that
high office. His vigorous and cultivated
miud-his energy and fixednc-s Of char
acler. with his exceedingly winning man
ner-, present him as the invincible cham
pion for executive honors in 1859. In
saving this much your correspondent
would not be understood as intimatm-
that the other gentlemen whose name.
have been mentioned in this connection
are not entitled to the cncomiums tina
have been passed upon them; but there
must be a choice.
The Levce Bill has passed both Houses
with some immatcrial amendments to tn,
last report Of the Committee.
The effort so 10 alter the charter of th'
Now Orleans. jackson q Great Northern
Railroad Company, as to allow them t'
stop the road at Canton, failed.
The joint resolution in relation to adj
iourning on the lst inst, was rcscinded
and the Sd inst substituted therefor
! Bills are being ''trotted through in double
quick time. and the consequence will b,
that some important measures will be
likely to pass without mature deliberation
The Governor has been censured for con
veuing this Legislature, but the result
must show that necessity did exist. or else
a large amount of unnecessary Legislation
has been done.
May be, III give you a synopsis of the
doings of the last days Of the session.
! Until then ADDS.
