Obituary Notice.

Died, in Walpole, n. H.. on the Sth inst,
the Democratic party. Said party had
been in a falling condition for long time,
hut received its death blow from the hand
of one Ilyrum Atkins. whose excessive
Kindness and misdirected zeal in lis behalf,
have brought it TO its (un) imely end. The
Republicans of Walpole extend their hearty
thanks to the above named individual, tor
the efficient aid he has rendered them in
IoyiRg oft the Walpole Demo, racy, and as
he was so well aware that there was 10 be
funeral. as to BE- able TO predict it SEINE
weeks ago, we hope that he will not fail 10
be present, and do funeral honorS over the
body of the dear departed. Should de-
ceased be so fortunate as TO receive an epi-
laph, at the hands of some kind hearted in
di~ieluui, it would probably read very much
IN this wise:
Democracy here lies fun low,
1t past a life OF blindness.
And died last, all must know,
BY H. rum Atkins kindness.

stIpELE. AND DOUGLAS.

Senator Slidell, of Louisiana, who has been the
great subject Of villihcation to tie View Orleans
Crescent, aud other journals Of that stripe, has
finally condescended to notice what appears to be
an ingenious SANDER contrived by the Chicago
Daily Press or its informer, and copied by the
Crescent. 1t seems that the Press heard from "a
personal friend of Mr. Slidell," that he had said
in Illinois, during the recent canvass, that the
negroes of Mr. Douglas in Louisiana we're badly
treated, clothed, fed, sc.
The Crescent re-publishes everything with great
zeal. and appends thereto an article bewailing
most pitiably. the awful degeneracy of those in
high places, provided the statement in the Daily
Press was correct, but still the author couldn't
for the life Of HIM help believing there was a
mistake somewhere. Sure enough it is denied
by Mr. Slideli then the Press gives the name of
its author, who, far from being personal friend
of MIR. Sldell, turns out to be man whom that
gentleman had not seen during his stay in Illinois.
Mr. Sldell, in his letter to the Washington
Union, densunces the whole affair rs false, and
winds up his letter by a pretty severe blow on
Douglas. He says:
"Mr Douglas has, by authorizing and counter.
ancng anonym GUS attacks on me, through a per-
son officiating as his private secretary, lost all
claims to the explanations that would otherwise
have promptly volunteered to give him."
1t seems that Douglas Oon't do either politically
or privately.

THE MAILS.

In private letter from our Holmes county cor
respondent he says:
II am entirely ignorant of the current events in
the political world. New Orleans, jackson or
vicksburg paper has not been seen at this place
time whereof the memory of man runneth not t.
the contrary"
1t is remarkable that the general indignation
which has been awakened in the public by the mail
delinquencies Of late has not caused the blame
worthy to alter their ways, or melted the wide
awake to ferret out the culprits and particuarize
abuse, We believe the Mississippi Central Road
to be punctual in the discharge Of its duties from
the plain Aud convincing statement given in q
private conversation by the very efficient and
gentlemsnly Superintendent Of that Road, and
which we laid before our readers in late issue.
Then who are in fault? UnquestiOnably the
Post Masters somewhere, in not distributing the
matter TO the respective carriers.
II was hoped at first that it would be merely o
temporary arrangement which would sOOH subside
and the usual regularity and routine revive. But
II appears this Inconvenience has at last become
fixed and saddled upon the public so firmly thatit
cannot be shaken of. Itcertainly is an evil which
should not be patiently borne, and should be
traced to the real offenders and their need award

ron THE DEMOCRAT:
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

Mr.. EDITOR: Many communications have Of
late appeared in various newspapers presenting
the claims of different gentlemen upon the office
of Governor. The propriety of this is obvious.
Each county should know the merits of those
who will probably be aspirans before the nomi
mating convention, in order that voters may be
prepared to give proper instructions to their del
egates.
Letters have been frequent in favor of Hon. t.
j. Hudson, of Marshall county aud they are
written in an earnest manner, which indicates a
general and strong desire til at he should be the
man chosen. Permit me. through your columns,
to addlmy feeble voice to these manifestations of
public sentiment, and to express the wish that
Yazoo may cast her vote for the gentleman alu-
ded to. This county was, at the last Convention,
disposed to give the office to a northern man, and
it is now generally conceded that the next Gov
ernor should of right be from that section. Mr..
Hudson is fr ON North Mississippi, and will un-
doubtedly come before the Convention with a
large and reliable vote. Indeed, it is everywhere
believed that his chances are as good as the best
of those who will oppose him. Frank, hearty,
cordial in his friendship, and generous in his
opposi ton, be is just the to receive the en-
thusastic support of chivalrous people.
He is emphatcally peoples man, and while
his political brethren are looking to Congressional
honors and scheming for national fare, he is
dcvoting equally as much talent to matters that
are solely of State concern. His labors have
always been for Mississippi and he has for years
been eloquently advocating two great homogene-
GUS doctrines-Democracy and Agricultur He
has originated an institution which must result in
the great improvement of the farming interest,
which is unquestionably the great interest of our
State, and all his studies are given to the devel
opement of our agricultural resources. Will not
the farmers-the strength, 1.-THE bone and sinew
of the land" support the man who is thus Jealous
for and takes so much pride in the welfare of his
State? l think so-and that Yazoo, eminently
interested ia planting, will throw her vote and
influence for Hudson. A YAzoo FARMER.

The Detroit Tribune notices the appearance
in the streets Of that city, of Charles Baker,

sent to the State Prison for lifel lie was the
leader of a gang of burglars who were terror

The fires in the picker rooms of the Ire,

Mills, within few days, and which involved
the loss Of life in the last named mill, were
caused by stones or gravel packed with the
cotton to increase its weight, coming in con-
tact with the revolving steel knives of the
beaten, while the cotton was being worked

says that in nearly all the bales of cotton open

nails, and other substances are found Single
stones weighing % pounds have been fund in
these bales, which sell at from II to 10 cents
a pound to our manufacturers.
