WHY THEY Do IT.-A friend inquiries Of us why it
is so many Of the leading Know othings have gone
over to the Slide Democracy, and have been re-
warded with Office. Had our friend reflected for q
moment, he could have OWNED the cause without
our assistance. The reason is quite simple. In the
first place. Sldel stock is getting rather below par,
while the other branch or wing Of the Democracy
is daily increasing in strength and Importance.
The why they given Offices is to purchase
them, SO that they may not go back to their first
loves'' and again oppose the gallant Democracy
or to prevent their joining the New Liners. Or
more reasonable STILL because there is a great lack
of bone and snew in the Old Liners camp.

WEATHER IN MIssIssIpPI.-The Canton Citizen
of Saturday last has the following:

OF saturday last has the follOwing:
We have been without rain for three or four
weeks, and the dust was never more disagreeable
as the October winds constantly stir up and sweep
it in our faces. The" winter gardens" are suffering
greatly for the want of the aqueous element and
the cisterns have nearly all "run' dry. While
this state of things is a source of annoyance and
Inconvenience to the denizens of the city however,
It is the very weather desired by and which brings
joy to the hearts of the inhabitants of the rural dis
trcts, because it is favorable to the opening and
gathering of the cotton crop. Should the weather
continue dry for several weeks longer, the whole of
the cotton crop will be gathered mitch earlier than
usual, though the crop, from all that We can learn,
will be fully an average one.
We have had several slight frosts this fall, the
heaviest and last of which occurred on Tuesday
| morning, 18th instant.
The Lexington Advertiser of Friday last says:
The weather has been decidedly cool during the
last week, and last Monday night, the 10th inst
a pretty heavy frost fell hereabouts. Last wear
there was frost until the same date in November
Look out for cold winter.
The Pamela Star says that frost has been visible
in that vicinity several mornings, but had done no
damage.

penitentiary located at the last named place. The
prisoner was covered with a cloak which concealed
from view the shackles upon his wrists He sat
slightly bowed-looling very grum, and probably
rejecting upon the rather narrow prospect before
him. A New England Yankee on the train had his
curiosity particularly excited by what he inferred
to be considerable weight on the spirit Of the
convict: so he approached him with the intent to
elicit if possible, such information as would crafty
his curiosity. The following are the questions he
propounded, and the answers thereto:

Dear Sir: Your letter, sent through the hands Of
J. NJ. Iuskeman, ESD, urging me to withdraw my
letter declining the nomination the Opposition
candidate for Governor has been handed to me-
The reasons urged upon inc in your letter are of
character that persistence in my previous deter

Of ukewarmness in the glorious cause of the Oppo-
sition, and in the patriotic desire to see my native
State redeemed, regenerated, and disenthralled"
from the degrading and corrupting misrule of Sill

say then, sir, let my name, which you have so
much honored stand where you have placed it-at
the head of noble list Of patriots-all "hone=t,
faithful and capable" Ours is the cause Of the
people, the laws and the constitution, and it must
