Mississippi intelligence.

From the Yazoo Observer of Saturday last, we ex.
tract the following intelligence:
On Sunday last we had fine rain. On Monday
we had finer, accompanied with some little wind
We never saw it rain harder for the same length of
time. friend OF ours, who has rain gage in.
forms US that he took the measure and in the space
Of 45 minutes by the watch, rain fell to the depth of
ll6th inches. These rains general in this sec.
tion and planters in the best humor about it,
They say they have now good season for crops
Mr.. G. Warren, living five or six miles from this
place, was dangerously stabbed a few nights ago by
runaway slave. Mr. W., as we learn, went out to
the yard gate and seeing negro man standing near
asked him several times who he was. The negro
making no reply, Mr.. w. went up and caught him
by the collar, when the negro pulled out knife and
stabbed him. The negro made his escape. We are
sorry to learn that Mr. Warren is not expected to re-
cover 1t is not known who the negro belonged to.

ing through Lawrence, Copiah, Kinds and Madison
the corn and cotton crops doing well and are very
promising in those counties The light rains we
have had during the week in our own county we
learn, have proved very beneficial and at present a
fair yield is anticipated.

Louisiana InteIIIgence.

The Mount Lebanon Baptist, of the 10th, says:
The last week has been favorable to planters But
little rain and rather cool. Corn crops still promise
well, and we have seen some very pretty cotton,
though many complain of grass.
The De Soto Columbian, of the 10th, says:
The weather during the past week has been ex.
tremeiy coquettish, sometimes cold mornings and
warm evenings, sometimes cold evenings and VAIN
mornings sometimes both, sometimes neither and
the last day or two have been warm and showery.
Crops are doing moderately well, and grass seems
particularly hourshing corn is tasseng and silking
and cotton generally beginning to blossom.
The Bossier Times, of the 18th, says:
The weather for the last week has been decidedly
favorable for crops Of corn and OF grass and weeds
also, but too wet for cotton We hear universal com.
plant from our farmers, Of grassy and foul crops
which otherwise look as promising as can be desired.
The Clinton Patriot OF the 18Th has the following
We have bad any quantity Of rain hereabouts
during the past week. The weather is still unsettled
and fearful that the continued fall of water
will work detrmentay to the interest of the cotton
crops in this vicinity. Corn is doing well.
Ripe peaches have made their appearance in our
town, They are small, but of excellent flavor
The st. Helena Imperial of Saturday last says:
For three weeks past the weather has been of a
most unusual character for this season of the year
being characterized by several severe blows accom-
panied with very heavy rains and after the weather
became more settled the days were extremely warm,
while the nights and mornings have been very chilly.
It has rained much lately that the majority of our
farmers have not been able to work in their fields
regularly, and consequently over head and ears
in grass. As We go to press, it is coming down in
torrents.
The Rapides Democrat of Tuesday last says:
The weather has accommodated itself to crops
during the past few days. We still have every pros
pect of abundant harvest before us.
Our planters are rejoicing over the bountful rain
Of Monday evening.
The river is falling slowly at this point, but we
learn that it is rising at Shreveport with twenty feet
rise coming down from Fulton.

/ Eds. Crescent It is pleasing to me to see the
papers investigating the subject Of the rights Of suf
frage in our large cities. The subject is one Of no
4 ordinary Importance; indeed, It is subject that
should be thoroughly Investigated shroughont the
length and breadth Of our country. once had pro-
perty--I now have but little. When had something
on which to pay taxes, very anxious to see men
in Office who would represent US in such manner
would secure the greatest amount of good to the
greatest number OF inhabitants. l still have the
same desire. Bat, having been unfortunate, and now
having but little, very seldom cast my vote in the
hallotbox. In this | may have erred. But consider
the taxpayers the only legitimate voters, whether in
the cities or States. When we look back to the good
old times when Especially in the older States)
property qualification was required before man
could have the right Of suffrage none but talented
sober dscsei and good men could be elected to I'll
any Office of profit or honor Now, it is very differ
emit True, we have many talented and good men In
Office now and would by no means cast any re-
fections upon them. But, on the other hand, how
many are there in public life who care more for the
gambling and drinking houses than they do for the
interests Of the people who have put them in office
Would such characters ever be elected if the right of
suffrage alone in the hands of property holders
suffrage to all free persons over twentyone years of
age, whether natirs born naturazed citizens, as
one of the most dangerous practices carried in
nation. The truth is clear. to my mind, that the bal
ance Of power is in the hands of class Of PEG
pie who fear neither God All they care for
is TO have few clothes TO ,rear, lille something to
eat and plenty Of tchisky.
II is time to look into this matter. We have good
and talented men all over nation but under our
present practice it is very difficult to bring them to
light They win not condescend TO the electioneering
amongst class Of men without whose vote they can
not be elected. 1t is this practice that keeps many
men in Office to the exclusion of better ones.
will not undertake to answer the objections raised
to property qualification. think. however, they
are easily answered. To my mind Ihave never heard
an objection that seemed to me to be in the least
plausible. RICHARD.

How THE ARABIAN Horse WAS CREATED.--Gen
Daumas, having addressed letter to Abdel-Kader,
requesting to know his opinion the origin of the
Arab horse, received in reply the following valuable
piece of information
Know then, that among us it is admitted that God
made the horse out Of the winds, he created Adam
out Of the dust. This cannot be disputed. Many
prophets have proclaimed that when God would
create the horse he said TO the South wind: " /
would bring forth out Of thee creature be thou,
therefore, condensed Then comes the Angel Ca,
briel and taking handful of the matter, presented
II TO God, who formed Herewith brown bay horse,
and said: g name thee Horse and create thee Arab
and give thee bay color. attach blessing to the
foreock which falls between thine eyes; thou shalt
hy without wings, and from thy back shall proceed
riches Then marked her with a star on her fore.

Eds. Crescent--I observe in the reported proceed
ings of the City Council that resolution has been
passed for distributing poisoned sausages for the pur
pose of destroying dogs.
1t appears to me there Is something altogether
wrong in pursuing system which has been followed
for 50 many years. and has proved altogether inef
feetua in lessening the vast Numbers of worthless
ours which oyerrnn the city Amongst the many OBJ
ections to it first the risk to human life which
necessarily follows such a distribution Of poison
throughout the Streets and that by too often, care
less hands,
Then the useless expenditure of large sum Of
money, compared with the desired effect for il is
notorious that not one cur out of thousand is ever
entapped, while good and valuable animals are often
destroyed. And again under the present state of
the law, whereby dogs fully recognized as pro-
perry question may arise to the liability of the
city for the value of any animal that may be de-
stroyed. Many members Of the Council are, no
doubt, aware that there are large number of dogs
owned here which are not only highly priced by
their owners, but saleable for large sums Of money
Now, sirs, the dog nuisance throughout the city is
no doubt, great and growing evil. Any one who
walks rides. or drives through any part from the
centre to the extreme suburbs, must have observed
and probably suffered from the savage attacks OF the
multitude Of vicious, snarlng ours providing in all
directions and substitute for the poisoning sys-
TEN in the attempt to abate this nuisance, would
respectfully propose to the consideration Of the Coun
Gil the leyyipg Of tax on all dogs owned within the
limits Of the corporation. This would not only save
risk of accidents TO human beings and outlay of
money, but II well managed would put a large sum
annually in the City Treasury.
have heard II often estimated that there are at
least some fifteen to twenty thousand dogs in this
cty but suppose there is only the half of that num-
Der. or say even five thousand and that on these a
tax Of only IS per head were levied, this would give
gross sum Of s25 600, which, without entering at
present into details Of system of collection might be
farmed out In some manner as the markets, and MAX
ing liberal allowance for costs of collection ETC.,
would produce something handsome TO the credit of
the CITY, without the cost Of single dollar, while at
the same time it would am satisfied have the effect
Of causing very considerable decrease in the num-
Der Of CANNES, the chief object to be attained.
Hereafter may give you the heads Of an ordin
anee on this subject, which, think, may be easily
carried out and prove effectual, provided see some
prospect Of action the subject in the City Council
With respect. 1 am, Ajax PAYER.
