The New Orleans and jackson Rail
Road Again.


We subjoin letter from Hon. A. G. Brown
one of the sufferers by the gross abuses of this
Road, to which special attention is directed
He is but one among hundreds if not thou
sands who have. been injured. We have no
idea that the acknowledgement complained of
has the countenanee of the Directory, and
shall look confidently to the application of
such remedies as the case loudly demands:
= For the MiSsissilpin,.
TERRY, KINDS Co., Miss.
To the Editor IL am pleased to see that
the editor Of the Eagle, and yourself are cal
ling public attention to the gross mismanage-
ment of the New Orleans and jackson Rail
Road. L am not personally cognizant Of all
the charges made, and therefore, do not ayouch
them en- naasse. But this know, that and
some of my neighbors have had cotton lying
at this Depot for month or more waiting
transportation. know further, that it has
been lying on the ground, the Company not
having provided any place for its storage or
safe keeping, and moreover, that in my own
case, the bales have been eaten into, and large
quantities of cotton destroyed by cattle that
have free access toit. The fault is not with the
Clerk at this Depot. The Company has pro-
vided no place to deposit cotton. It has not
even fenced lot for its protection. The bales
are thrown from the wagons and there lie for
weeks exposed to the weather and every sort
! of trespass. The Clerk sends off the cotton as
fast as he is supplied with cars. The supply,
however, is next thing to nothing. There is
/ now at this Depot between seven hundred and
q thousand bales, and the removals do not half
keep pace with the delivery, SO that the stock
on hand is increasing rapidly.
If there was any reasonable excuse for this
state ofthings / would not complain, but there
is none. Why does not the Superintendent
send the rolling stock to take off the cotton?
He may say the Company has not supplied it.
Then I ask why has not the Company suppli-
ed it? We had these same complaints last
year. The Railroad has already become a
nuisance. lift was out of the way or would
cease to delude US with its fair promises, we
would seek access to the market of New Or
leans through other channels. Cotton has
fallen cent in the pound since some of mine
was delivered at the Depot, and l am expec-
ted not only to pocket this loss but to have the
cattle fed upon my cotton to the extent of four
to ten pounds per bag. Imay submit to it, but
it will be when courts and juries cease to dis
pense justice.
That no one may be in doubt as to writes
this note, subscribe myself,
A. &. BROWN.

The Courtesy of an Honorable Opponent

The National Intelligencer. the able and

of the old Wing party, reproduces the speech
of Hon. Jefferson Davis, delivered before the
Mississippi Convention of July last, with this
courteous allusion .
4 IAmong the formal speeches made by leading
public men, in the course of the past summer,
was one by the Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Mis-
sissippi. on the 9th Of July, in which the dis
tinguished Senator reviewed at large, and with
his characteristic frankness and ability, the
political questions of the day. It is due to
the honorable speaker that his speech should
find place in eur paper, and we accordingly
give it in to-day's issue.

1.-THE Mobile Register claims the Democrat
ic victory in Georgia, as triumph for Doug
LASS
This claim, we are authorized to say, is
without foundation in fact. So far from the
recent glorious victory in Georgia being a
Douglas triumph" it is victory more in spite
of Stephen A. Douglas. We hare already
stated upon authority, that Gov. Brown is not
only opposed to Senator Douglas peculiar
views upon Squatter Sovereignty and slavery
in the Territories, but he is also nncompro-
misingIy opposed to his nomination by the

THF STA TIE ELECTION.

Notwithstanding the great gains to the de-
mocracy predicted by some of the adminstra-
ton papers, both in and out of the State, Hon.
Inland HALL is reelected governor of YER
mont by majority fully equal we believe to
that of last year. At any rate he goes out Of
this county with net Republican gain of over
four hundred votes. The other portion of the
State ticket has done equally well.
The numerous accessions to the ranks of the
democracy consequent upon the genius, accom-
plishments and reputation of SAKE are painful
ly invisible. 1t will require sterner arguments
than even his melliAuous verse contains to bring
Vermonters to embrace the repulsive and soul
abhorrent doctrines of modern democracy
They are ready to listen to his poetry and to
laugh at his jokes, but when the matter of voting
for any disciple of Buchanan or Douglas comes
up they prefer to be excused
