For the Mississippian
Gen. T. N. Waul, of Texas.

Editor Mississippian
have noticed with much pleasure, that
Gen. T.. N Waul has bean nominated foa
Congress, by the Democratic party of his dis
triet in Texas. Gen. Waul was for a long
time citizen of Mississippi, and the writer
knew him intimately and well While resid-
ing here, his time was devoted to his profess
sion, of which he was shining light, and his
connection with politics was only to the ex-
tent that all private gentlemen must feel who
comprehend properly their duties as good citi-
zens. His acquaintances knew his peculiar
fitness for public position, and importuned
him to allow them to use his name as a can
didate for Congress in the district in which
he resided, but being young and fond of his
profession, he declined all such solicitations.
In view of the crisis through which the
South will have to pass, in the event Of the
election of Black Republican as President
of these United States, it is all important
that proper men should be sent to Congress
to represent her interests and the subject of
this sketch from his comprehensive and clear
intellect, bold and sagacious mind, calm
though decisive character, is eminently quail
fed for the position to which his party has
assigned him.
AS the destiny of the South must be a
common one, we can but feel an interest in
the Representatives of our sister State, and it
is with patriotic pride that we bail the proba-
bic election to Congress of Gen. Waul. There
is, as you are aware, an influence at work
in Texas, to unite portion Of the people of
that State with the Black Republicans, under
the lead of Sam. Houston, who is thrice be-
tayer of his own section. To defeat this
combination ought to be the cherished object
Of every true Southern heart. Mississippi
is watching the contest with sincere. solici-
tude, and she will hail the election of Waul
as sign that her young sister of the South,
will stand by her in whatever difficulty the
excesses of Black Republican fanaticism may
force her to encounter.
With such men as Waul, from Texas,-our
own ever faithful and true Representatives in
this State,-the late Representatives from Ala
bama and Georgia and South Carolina; the
South will have nothing to fear. M.

Sound Views.

Mr.. Judge, the Opposition candidate for
Congress, in the Montgomery .(Ala.) District,
does himself the credit. to present the follow
ing views in reference to the laws prohibiting
the African slave trade
II am in favor of abrogating our treaty
stpulations for its suppression, and repeating
the laws denouncing it as piracy. In frequent
conversations on this subject, have express
ed doubts as to the policy of permitting an
unlimited number of Africans amongst us !;
but this should be question of State policy.
The inhabitants of the non-slayeholding States
can rightfully have no voice in determining
whether Alabama should have o less or greater
number of slaves. The domestic institution, in
all its aspects, should be left to the unfettered
control of the slaveholding States respective
ly; and the General Government, in denounc-
ing the slave trade as inhuman and piraticaI,
affixed stigma upon the institution ITSELF
which should be wiped OUT

EDITOR OF THE MIssIssIPPIAN
DESTROYS Of securing the services of an able
and efficient legislator in the State Senate at
the approaching session of the Legislature,
many Of the friends of the gentleman whose
name captions this article, would be gratified
to have him yield to their request and permit
his name to go before the people Of this coun-
ty for that position at the coming October
election
We will not at present allude to the nu-
merous and varied qualifications which he
would bring to adorn that position; for in this
section of the State he is too well known for
his character to acquire additional lustre from
anything which can now be written. His
name has been warmly and ardently urged by
friends throughout the whole State for one of
the highest offices within the gift of the peo-
pie. Should the people of Kinds county be
desirous Of securing the services of gentle
man of unimpeachable integrity, Of high
sense of honor, logical, fluent and eloquent in
debate, and withal one who in the halls of
legislation would be able to promote their in
terests in an eminent degree, undoubtedly
Mai. Minis is the man. Let US have for our
Senator one who will maintain foremost posi-
ton among the ablest of the body.
For these reasons he is now urged and ex-
pected to respond through the public press, to

Forcible Rescue of a Slave.

A lawless preceding took place at the dock
on the arrival of the North Star from Lake
Superior, yesterday, resulting in the forcible
abduction, by lot of negroes, of young
mulatto girl, who in company with her sister,
was travelling with their mistress, a Southern
lady. The fact of their presence was first
made known by some negroes on board the
boat at the moment of her arrival at the dock,
and, in short time, gang of twenty or thirty
had collected, who rushed on board the boat
and took possession of the cabin, where the
girls were sitting in company with their mis-
tress for protection. The girls, who are aged
thirteen and seventeen, refused to go with the
intruders, and appealed to their mistress for
protection. She told them they were at liberty
to go if they choose, and inquired Of the me-
groes if they had any means of securing them
support. OF course no satisfactory answer
could be given to this, but the girls were in
formed that they must go. They refused, and
the eldest one ran into state-room and locked
herself in. The other attempted to follow, but
was caught and dragged down stairs and fairly
pushed off the boat followed by the whole
gang. The ferryboat Undine lay close along
side, and the crowd rushed on board Of her,
the Captain Immediately casting off and run
across the river, They took her to Windsor,
on the opposite side of the river, and slowed
her away in some negro huts, where she now
remains. In the meantime, o messenger was
despatched for an official Of some sort to ar
rest the lady. By a recent act of the Michigan
Legislature, any person bringing slave with
in the limits of the State commits criminal
offense, punishable by ten years Imprisonment
in State Prison. The lady was consequently
liable. Fortunately for her, the boat left the
dock before any such advantage could be taken
of her helpless position, and proceeded on her
way to Cleveland. The lady is a resident of
Winchester, KY, near Louisville, and gave
her name as Moore. Her husband is still at
Superior, his wife travelling alone with the
two servants who were kept merely as personal
attendants. s.-Detgiot Free Press Jalyl
Thus il will be seen that respectable and
nnoffending Southern lady was not only plum
dered in.open day, other property, by q negro
mob in a free State but that she escaped al
most by an accident ten years imprisonment
in the penitentiary of that State for the crime
of passing within its borders attended by the
property Of which she was so ruthlessly robb-
ed. This is practical lesson upon the comfy
which marks the conduct Of a majority of the
Northern States in their intercourse with the
South. By-and-by it will open the eyes of
the latter and bring forth its fruits.

For the MississiPpian.
University Of Mississippi.

There is, perhaps, no phase of the above
named institution, which so fully commends
it to the confidence of its friends as its largely
predominant moral and religious element.
Seven of its nine Professors are members of
some church and the church-membership of
the students is large and influential No body
of young men are more remarkable for good
morals, regular attendance on public worship,
or more respectful demeanor whilst there.
Things sacred are nowhere more scrupulously
reyered. instruction in Moral Philosophy
and the Evidences of Christianity, constitutes
a part Of the regular course. There have
been two religious revivals there within the
last few years. Students Bible classes and
prayer meetings are zealously sustained by
the young men themselves. The College laws
lrbid under severe penal egen the keep
ing Of deadly weapons Not only has no
blood ever been shed upon that soil conse-
Grated to the MUSES., but quarrels and nnkind
feelings are almost unknown there. Oxford,
too, is one of the most moral communities in
the land-no tippling shop or gamblers resort
can anywhere be found.
The number of Alumni in the literary de-
partment is 241, or an average of "a for each
class; and 35 in the law department of only
four years standing,-an average of for
each class. Many of these young men have
already secured respectable positions in the
legal aid medical professions, in the State Le-
gislature, in their Alma Mater, in colleges,
academies and schools, throughout this and
the neighboring States Still more, with
humber aim, are adorning the walks of pri-
vate life But to my mind, the most striking
and interesting fact connected with the career
of these young men is, that thirteen of their
number are ministers of the gospel. One of
these has been, for five years. an honored and
useful missionary to China, and two others
have the Japan mission in contemplation.
What a bold and far-reaching spirit of philan-
thropy for what greater moral heroism can
be displayed than that which prompts young
man, at Gods call, to forego all the worlds
honors and emoluments, to abandon forever
all that is dearest to him,-home, friends,
country,-with naught but Bible and bold
heart to plunge beyond the bounds Of civiliza-
ton, and devote his time and energies, nay,
even lay down his life, if need be, in the bless
ed Redeemer's cause! -
When such are the sober facts in regard to
our own State Institution, why will some
people still croak, still illustrate the workings
of unhaIlowed prejudice, and, IN some in
stances unfortunately, of mere sectarian
spleen, by decrying all State Universities as
nurseries of bad morals ? The impress for
good which those faithful instructors have ever
sought to make upon students confded to
their parental care, will only be fully revealed
in the last great day, when the acts and intiu-
ences of men shall be summed up before a
resurrected universe.

no opposition will be offered to the success of
the Democracy in Louisiana at the coming

mistakable proof of the unwillingness Of the
masses Of those who have heretofore compos-

tinue an improbable strife in the slayehold-

foe, the Black Republican organization, which
is constantly growing in strength and is grasp
