DEAE DEMcoRAVS The Capital is now full of
0nfCrtenates who positively shave not where to
say their heads" We have not seen SO many
People in the CITY at any time before, and beds

Che staff OF life, ITSELF The large and commodous
Bowman House, under the control of Mr.. Lyman
HilzheiE, so celebrated for his accommodating
disposition has been so full for two days past that
numbers were unable to obtain lodgings, and have
been forced for that reason to leave the Capital
without the pleasure of examining the numberless
curiosities afforded by our State Fair.
This last mentioned important and useful inst-
tuition snow in full blast of prosperous exhibition,
and the Mississippi patriot cannot fail to indulge
proud emotions and bright expectations for the
glory of his State, while examining the array of
models of art, science and agriculture, which are
there spread before the gaze Here he sees the
line fabrics which have taken their present shapes
of beauty from the taste.o his fair countrywomen,

brought for exhibition the latest hogs, the finest

is the broad base which sustains the structure of
national greatness and in this strength Mssissip-

lr 7. ]. hudson delivered on yesterday to a
large audience, address full Of beautiful ideas
and deep thought, upon the agricultural and com
mercal prosperity of Mississippi His excellent
discourse has elected unbounded praise from every
quarter where judgment is allowed and respected
ented gentleman for the glory and advancement
Of his State entite him to the love of her people,
and we hope to see his speech widely published
aud read
We have, since our first letter was written, had
two most creditable and eloquent speeches, of the
unyielding Southern rights type, from our gifted
Congressman, Messrs. Singleton and Lamar
their positions are strong and invincbe against
Douglas and as TO The course this country should
pursue in the event of our having inflicted upon
us Black Republican President. They think that
Douglas name should be scratched from the Dem
ocratic roll, and they think disunon should be the
''watchword and reply" when sectional candi-
date mounts the Presidential chair This is the
right doctrine, and this course will be pursued,
else will posterity suffer and the Judgment of future
generations curse the timidity Of their ancestors
Senator JEFF, Davis has arrived, and will address
his fellow citizens so soon as he RECEIVERS from the
fatigue of travel. The old enthusiasm for the pet
son of Mississippi is fully awakened by his pres
enee and the enquirihg eyes of strangers IN the
admiring glances of his friends as usual abstract
him from the crowd and make him the loadstone of
attention. He will probably remain several days
Mt Jackson. The people are all anxiety to hear
him speak.
The Qaitman Demonstration on last Saturday
was grand and impressive. 1t is we'll for the |
public thus to do honor to the memory of her faith
full and honest servants, and to hold them to view
AS examples for their emulation and fit objects for
their love. His genius as statesman, his emf
nent merit as man, and his invaluable services
IS a soldier, were eloquenty and beautifully por-
trayed by c. L. Hooker, Esq, who was followed
by the Rev. Mr.. Caskis in a chaste and elegant
Grafton in the expression of his high virtue and
prominent Masonic purity, which placed him in
The highest position that Order can bestow Oh
merit. H Il
The Legislature is doing business more rapidly
than has heretofore been known at SO early a pc.
riod of the session. In view of the melancholy
fact that legislators of our own and every other
State are much given to Incidence, and disposed
to set no example of industry to their admiring
constituents, the present members are entitled to
all praise for the hearty good will with which they
have entered upon their abors. It is thought the
session will be pretty long. fae
The fair sex are rapidly congregating at the
Capital-indeed they are now as numerous as
behring's on the North Carolina coast, and coming
IL daily by schools Moreover, oil that your
humble servant has seen are as epretty as pinks"
and twice as interesting. If there is not a vast
deal Of counting going on here just now it is not
because there are not charms enough to stimulate
to soft rehenrsals.
Farewell, until another leisure moment. G.
