A New Territory.

From a dispatch in an exchange it appears
that the sqnatters on the gold region about
Pixies Peak have been lately holding con-
vention, with view TO the organization of a
new Territory in that region, to be known by
the name Of the Territory Of jefferson.
There are perhaps people enough there
such as they are-tO constitute respectable
village. Yet they wish to assume the proper
tons of Territorial community. Their OBJ
iect in this movement is simply one of plum
der and spoils.
These people are already under the Terrific
rial jurisdiction Of Kansas. Why not remain
so? The Territorial Government of Kansas
is as good as they could get for themselves
There can be, therefore, no other object in TAX
ing this step than to bleed the public Treasu-
~, and riot upon legal stealings-if such an
expression be allowable-from the common
fund OF the people.
Moreover, what right have these people to
make any movement in the matter "A molly
crew Oh duNeHtuIOIS, NiNSNS eeAAN AAN'eASAA
alities and colors, temporarily sojourning there
for purposes of pelf, have no more business tc
be talking about Territorial Government
than ship load of passengers upon the higt
Seas. They have no fixed habitation at Pixies
Peak-no vested rights-no nothing. The
nomadic tribes of the African plains would b
Just as much justified in asking for Terrific
rial Government at the hands of the American
Congress, as this baud of thieving adventurer
at Pixies Peak.
The government is already sufficiently plum
dered, and preyed upon, and pillaged, without
opening new sluices of corruption.
| In this movement, also, we have a practica
| illustration of Mr.. Douglas favorite doctrine o
Squatter Sovereignty. Here are your true

Writ Adams. ESQ, nominated for the
Legislature in Issaquena County.

At large meeting Of the citizens'of Issa-
quena county, held at Tallula, on Monday the
10Th day of August, A. D. 1859, the Hon.
Thos. w. Hays, was on motion of R. B. Cam
mack, elected President, and Secretary APP
pointed.
Mr.. Albert G. Gibson moved that Mr.. Writ
Adams be nominated to represent this coun-
ty in the next Legislature.
1t was resolved that the nomination be by
ballot, and Mr.. Writ Adams was thereupon
UNANIMOUSLY nominated.
Mr.. Adams being called on to respond to
the nomination, accepted the position rendered
to him, in an address to the meeting in which
he announced what would be his course in the
prosecution Of the canvass.
He said he would visit the voters of Issa-
quena, and announce his views on the interest
ing questions that must come before the next
Legislature.
! On the vital question of protecting the dis
trict subject to overflow he declared it to be his
desire to have the levee law continued in op-
| Grafton for long series of years and to have
| Lie lefcS uISlTCL cAtctucu W btiC ustoC vi viz
hills lying east of the Yazoo river.
In this way he hoped to make the levees
an effectual auxiliary to the principal means
of protection, which he thought consisted Of
cut-offs. His purpose, if elected, he declared,
would be the abolition of the penal law pro
hibiting cut-ofs, which had been passed at
the closing hours of the session, and had
slipped through he might say without any Of
that deliberation that measure so important
in its consequences justly merited.
A resolution was passed requesting the Mis-
sissippian at jackson, the Wing, and the Sun
and Southron at Vicksburg, to publish the
proceedings of this meeting, and on motion o.
of Col Richard Christmas, the meeting ad.
journed.

Col. Pettus on the ELECTION Of a Black
Republican to the Presidency.

The Democratic candidate for Governor
has plain, straightforward way of dealing
with this subject which wins our admiration.
He does not intend that there shall be any
ground for misapprehending his policy as Gov
ernor of the commonwealth Of Mississippi, in
the event William FL. Seward, or some men,
her of his clan, is selected by one portion of
the Union to rule over all the whole United
States In the course of his speech at Hous-
ton, the Petrol reports him to have said:
In the event of the election of Black Re-
publican President in 1860, on the Rochester
Platform, he plainly marked out the policy he
would recommend to the people of this State,
as their Chief Magistrate In such emergen-
cy, he desired that Mississippi should be pre-
pared to act with her sister States of the
South He said he would be in favor of re-
resisting the Inauguration of a Black Republi-
can President, elected by sectional party, on
sectional principles, to govern the whole coun-
try; he would tell the people in advance, that
he would ask the Legislature to fill the arse
nal with arms. that We might be ready for the
worst
Col Pettus closed amidst prolonged ap-
plause.

Rebellion in India.

The latest accounts from India have excited
considerable discomfort in London. The dis
turbancies in the Bengal Presidency among
the English troops, caused by the attempt to
transfer them from the India Company's SER
vice to that of the Queen without paying the
bounty of S25 for re-enlistment, has assumed
some aggravated features. One body of men,
(the 9Th European regiment,) at Berhampore,
have resorted to unequivocal resistance, and
after electing officers from among their num-
Der, have intrenched themselves in their bar
racks. This act is spoken of as 'mutiny,"
but it really does not deserve that appellation.
The men never enlisted in the Queens service,
and they cannot be regarded as owing, in a
military sense, any obedience-the 1ndia
Company whom they agreed to serve, hay
ing ceased to exist The affair will doubtless
end quietly, the Calcutta government having
already issued an order that each soldier enti-
tied to his discharge shall receive it. For the
present, however, they have exempted tho
men at Berhampore from the privilege

On being presented with violet plucked fro
in death, and to whom they were affectionatey i
scribed -
Sweet blue-eyed violet of the spring,
Fresh blown beneath soft skies and showers,
Why sadder thoughts to me now bring,
Than those of rosy smiles and hours
Alb ! Ger the lone and unknown dead,
Hath droOp'd sweet flower, thy gentle head.
The 1oWly dead may be forgot
By earthly friends, and earthly foes,
And scarcely marh'd the humble spot, >,
Where rests the form in deep repose;
Yet DER the long neglected tomb,
The Violet sheds its soft perfume.
There In each spring, when zephyrs light
Are whispering mid the foliage green, ~,
And gaysr flowers are blushing bright;
upon the -srass-spswa-s grave sasss-s,-----------
Unfolding its dark leaves Of blue,
1t weeps its pearly tears of dew.
And where unfolds each tender leaf
Through the bright day and starry night,
Is gently pass'd its season brief,
Till close its eyes upon the light;
And then beside the dreamless dead,
Is gently laid ITS dropping head.
Meek flower! sweet messenger Of love-
Who knows but unto thee is given,
Some spirit missions from aboye2
What wonder, If thou cam'st from heaven,
An emblem of immortal bloom,
When the pale sleeper quits the t. NIB?
Oh, when within its narrow bed,
This form of mine is laid to rest,
When the last tear for me is shed,
And cold the earth lies on my breast,
Thea may no ruder eye intrude,
Than thine upon my solitude.

Democratic Nominee for Senator in the
Attala and Leake District.

A Convention of the Democracy of this
Senatorial District has nominated the Hon.
George HUE, of Leake, as candidate for
State Senator. Judge Wells, of the Attala
Democrat warmly commends the choice of
the. Convention to the endorsement of the
people at the polls, saying
We have presented to the people of the
district candidate, in whose integrity and
intelligence they can confide. In his hands,
the interest of the people of the district may
be safely intrusted Col. HUE, our nominee
is no Office seeker, and has never been candi-
date perhaps but once OF twice in his life, and
then was pressed into service in opposition
to his own will. He served the county of
Choctaw one or two terms in the State Leg
islature. A South Carolinian by birth, he in
herits the genuine impulse of the true sons of
the South taught in the school of Calhoun
and his compatriots Col. HUE will always
be found subservient to the calls of the people
DISCRIMINATION is a just tribute to his age, exs
perienee and his talents, as well as to his use
fulness while a representative.

The company here is almost exclusively
southern, and may be considered very fair
index Of Southern sentiment They may be
classed thus: Virginia decidedly Union I;
North Carolina, don't care darnish South
Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi out-and- out
Southern Rights. and mostly strong disunion-
lists; Louisiana has such big lump Of sugar in

The SHAVER WANDERERS NEGRoEs.-Four

Court at Savannah, on the 9th inst, for hold

but thrown out. These, We suppose, are of

pear that the people Of Savannah are not in,
