Sherrurd is right in his estimate of politicians;

places entire corn fields have been laid waste
there not being left blade or stock OF anything
green. The corn, which had grown five or six
inches high, has been utterly destroyed. \ gen.

insects completely cover the prnirics in many
places destroying everything before them as

The Peoples Meeting.

Several prominent and influential citizens
of Pamela county have requested us to give
notice through our columns, that there will
be public meeting held at the Court House
in this place, on next Saturday week. 18th day
of August to confer upon the state of the
currency in Memphis, aud to protect the farm
ing interest of our county. 1t is earnestly
desired that every planter in the county will
he here. Us matters of interest to all will be-
discussed.
Such meetings should be held in every
county in North Mississippi. Ii may be, far
mers, that you will have to seek market for
the product Of your farm, in New Orleans the
coming season. Come one, come all PdJ,oia
Star.
We cannot complain of the course which
our Mississippi friends design to take, but
rather commend it, We have no right to ex-
pect that Tennessee money will be received
aud circulated as long as il cannot be con-
verted into coin at the will of the holder, and
until this Is done, the people of the adjoining
States will and should reject il. IT, then the
merchants and business men of Memphis wish
to retain the trade of Mississippi, which has
already contributed so much to build up our
city, let them take some early steps To +, m DIV
the evil complained Of. A bona fds RESUMPTION
Of specie Payments and uie issue Of counter notes
would in a month place the currency of Ten
nessee on an equal footing with any other
and preserve To Memphis the large and in-
creasing trade of our city. Ii this should not be
done, however, as soon as the Mississippi Cen
trail and Mobile and Ohio Railroads are fin
ished, our Mississippi friends will seek some
other market, where "A better currency may

For the information and qualification Of our
friends in Madison, Gibson and other counties
interested in the extension of this road we
are enabled to say to tn m that the iron for
the entire twenty-five miles between Browns
Vile and the Mobile Road has been bought
that some six or seven miles of it have arri-
v,d; that Gov HARRIS handed over to Col.
TORI, on Monday last, 100000 in the bonds
of the State, for the eighteen miles beyond
Brownsville and the bridge over the Forked
Deer river, and that track laying began at
Brownsville on yesterday.
BY October LIST the cars will cross the South
Fork Of the Forked Deer. and hundreds OF
planters, who, last year, sent their produce TO
other markets, or TO this one over another
route. will then send their produce here by
this Road, as being so much shorter and more
direct.
Memphis is deeply interested in this trade,
and with The completion OF this road to con-
nection with the Mobile Road it must greatly
increase. Speed the good work; and with a
good currency our destiny is bright one
