Interesting TO Newspaper Proprietors.
--One OF the courts oi the State of Indi.
ana, recently made decision which is of
interest to all newspaper proprietors
throughout the Union. A controversy
existed relative to charge f + ADVERT
sing between the Commissioners of Ham
iiton county and the Patriot newspaper.
1t WAS held by the Judge that the pub
Ilshed terms OF newspapers constitute a
contract. If work is given to newspa
per publisher, without special contract,
contravening the published terms, the
publisher can charge and receive accor-
ding to the terms SO published. 1t is not
necessary to prove what the work cost
or was worth; the publishers have right
OF fix the estimate value Of their columns
and if 50 fixed, no other question need be
asked, but the price thus charged can be
recovered.

Cotton Going North.-The Memphis
Bulletin, of last Friday, has the following
paragraph, Illustrative of railroad innu-
ence:
The shipments Of cotton for the pre-
sent season have decided tendency NJ
stream, instead of down the river to New
Orleans, as has been the case heretofore
MeSsrs. Thomas H. Williams & Co.,
agents of the st. Louis and Memphis pack
ct line. and of the st. Louis Alton, and
Chicago railroad, inform ns that during
the past ew days they have shipped up
wards of one thousand bales BY the above
packet, all of which was designed for
manufacturing towns in the North and
East, and is to go the entire way to the
points of destination by railroad, from St.
Louis. On yesterday the above firm
shipped per steamer James H. Lucas 700
bales of cotton, 379 of which were to go
over the Mississippi and Ohio railroad TO
Philadelphia, and ISL to Cohoes, New
YORK. a portion of tho balance was TO
pass over the Wabash and Great Wes-
tern road. Contracts were maize for most
o. these shipments, guaranteeing that
ihey shall reach their destination in if
teen days from the time of shipment here.
The short time in which cotton is receiv-
ed at tue manufactures over this route,
is the principal inducement for its ship
ment.

The, Oasiey Mission-A rather face
tlous Western contemporary very truthful
ly and very wittiy says that the double
headed British mission at Washington
appears to have triple object. e.,
firstly to keep alive, de juye or de tacto,
that monstrous swindle, the Clayton
Bulwer treaty secondly, to fool Uncle
Sam about Cuba; thirdly, to wheedle
Uncle Sam into making an ass of him
self by smashing up the Liberal party in
Mexico, aud setting what friends we have
in that country eternally against annexa-
ton by taking their property in execution
for the benefit of British bond and mine
holders. Well as Father Richie used to
say nous gerrons. We don't understand
Latin, but We take it nous rerrons means.

incident occurred at the Marshall county
Fair, which was not laid down in the
programme. A couple presented them

for such an exhibition, the parties went
their way looking as if each had just OBJ

IN arkansas Fighting Man.-A man
in Little Rock, Arkansas, who signs
himself A. Gibson, has published let
ter in which, by his own showing, he has
vainly endeavored to draw Col. f. A
Terry, the newly elected State Senator,
into duel, which the latter declined on
occount of being a cripple. Mr.. A. Glib
son now proposes to Mr. Terry that each
shall choose one friend and enter room
to be selected by the friends, unarmed.-
Mr.. Terry's friend shall then deliver to
him pistol, of any kind, and when they
have approached within two feet of each
other the word shall be given fight. =
Mr. G. allows Mr.. II. pistol to compen-
safe for his diIapidated shoulder; or I'M
der like circumstances as above, they
shall have their left arm dashed fast to-

every respect, placed in his hand. and at

will certainly spoil if somebody don't

Simeon Sarcdstic.-The Panlding
Clarion comes down On the editer of the
Sea Coast Democrat in the following spi-
cy style. After quoting an article from
that paper, friend Simeon thus discour-
seth:
We clip the above from the Sea Coast
Democrat, paper published at Mississi-
ppi City, by a couple ofyoung gentlemen
fresh from Cork. and who, upon arriving
in this country, got hold of types and
pens, instead Of their national implements
the spade and shovel Their opinion
upon the sublime science Of ditchiug, or
the cooking of praties, would be entitled
to great weight; and we should very
readily refer to them upon such subjects.
Butwe must beg leave after twenty years
service in the cause Of Democracy in
Mississippi, to adhere to our well matured
and long practised views respecting Dem
ocratic principles and obligations, in pre-
ference TO those Of hair-brained Young
paddles who have hardly been in the
country long enough to digest the potatoe
vines they ate in Ireland. The idea of
these young bog trotters assailing Our
integrity and Democracy when we were
laboring for the establishment of Demo
cratic principles in Mississippi before
they ever knew there was such place as
Mississippi, is one Of the richest we have
heard for this many day.

It appears that Mr.. A, Y. Brown killed
a man named James Pickens, mistaking
him for johnson Pickens, a brother of
James, against whom he had a grudge.
Brown, after doing the murder, fed, but
soon came back, gave himself up, and

after Brown; found him, shot him with
doublebarreled gun, came upon him when
he fell, took from his (Brown's) belt his

To which words respond.
We are aware of our ability to endure

want arms; we want a leader with intel

these, show us the way, and we are ready

The Cation Crop.-The Boston Tray
eller remarked that while it is rendered
quite certain that the crops in the grain
growing States will be considerably be-
low the average, it is equally certain
that those in the cotton aud sugar plan
ting States, will be above an average and
the grain harvests in these States will
also be very large, so that the agricul-
tural interest in the South is likely to he
exceedingly prosperous, having full crops,
which will find ready market at high
prices.
The same paper thus estimates the
incoming cotton crop; may be safely es-
timated at 500 900, the minimum esti-
mate if early and extensive frosts are
being 100000 bales, and
the maximum if frost holds off as late as
last year, being 100000 bales. it is
probable some sections may be affected
by frost, and therefore an estimate of /
100000 bales is, perhaps, as near an |
approximation as can be made al this
ime.
