Buffalo and Elk being scarce just nbN
in this region, the sporting b'hoys have
turned their attention to wolves, beaver,
otter, &c.
One night recently, the boys from
Pcrducs camp caught, with traps, two
wolves and one fine large beaver. One
wolf had loosened and made off with his
trap, whilst the other awaited results
which between guns, clubs and dogs,
proved disadvantageous to his narrow
circumstances. The other being charged
with the larceny of the trap, WINS pursued
by the losing party, and soon hunted
own, and between the jaws Of the trap
and dogs he was soon deyoured by the
jaws Of death, so We won't jaw any more
about the matter. The beaver was fine
and fat, and the captor, no doubt, feast
ed sumptuously OH its huge tail and juicy
flesh. A night latcr, Sam, (who, by the
by, is some when he goes Ia to catch II
"rdrmint'') missed one of his traps set
for a wolf, but soon captured the rogue,
and now, his jacket adorns an out-burld-
ing. lie has also exhibited, rs trophies,
the legs Of several beaver, and n huge
fellow, with a scaly caudal ~appendaGc
and webbcd feet, and one otter. lie
don't charge the missing with theft, but
thinks they would have made money by
waiting for himto help them out. Ducks,
geese and cranes are becoming more
common. ldnt brought in "a string of
the former, II short time since. Ante
lope are still abundant over about Prai-
RE creek, but the buffalo begin to make
south and those who expect to sport
with this large game this season had
better be about it soon.

Douglas man, though keeping at the head oil
its columns the names of John Bell and
Edward Everett, ESQ close is the alliance in

of October 1860, takes this bold and strong
ground in favor of the doctrine of the right Of
a State to secede from the Union
The Riqhtof SeceSsion.-We are
one of the few who believe, with John G. CAL
houn, that States have a right, under the
Constitution to secede from the Union. We
believe it to be in accordance with the genius
of true republicanism, that each State shall de.
c!de-not only upon its own domestic affairs
and institutions-but that it has the constitu-
tonal right to elect for itself, its future destiny.
We regard all this talk about whipping in
the secessionists" as idle and almost as con-
temptible as is the effervesence of extreme
Southern whisky and patriotism. If the
people of South Carolina, Alabama or Georgia.

Of the Constitution let them do so. Let them
form republic, an empire, or anything else
they may fancy. Let them inclose them

wards furnishing the requisite rocks.

The N. O. ]. & G. N. r. R.

The Choctaw Recorder derives from Mr..
Bustamente, the agent, in that section, of the
New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern
Railroad, some interesting information on the
progress of the work of extension beyond
Canton, towards Aberdeen.
He reports that the graduation between
Canton and Kosciusko, distance of forty
miles, is going on rapidly. Twenty-six miles
have been completed. There are four hundred
hands engaged on the remaining fourteen.
The iron has been purchased for the whole
work, and the track-laying will begin in
January, with the expectation that cars wall
commence running to Kosciusko by the first
of the following December.
The work at the Aberdeen end of the ex-
tension is also reported to be in state of
equal forwardness. The space of nine miles
from the town of Aberdeen to the crossing of
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, will be ready
for the locomotive by the first day Of Nevem-
Der, next year.
In the act of the Mississippi Legislature,
passed last February, by which the charter
of this Company in Mississippi was made
perpetual, and the time of completing this
extension was extended to 1872 the condi-
tions imposed were that the whole should be
finished by 1872, and that at least sixty miles
above Canton, and the nine miles between
Aberdeen and the Mobile Road, should be
completed and equipped for use, on or before
the first day of January, 1865. 1t will be
seen that the work is proceeding in both
may certainly be finished long within the
time prescribed, and nine or ten years remain
for the completing the other portions.

The Grand Popular Demonstration IN
Yazoo---Uprising of the Masses.

! The ovation to Hon. Jefferson Davis al
Benton on Tuesday last was one Of the mos
magnificent and enthusiastic demonstrations
we have ever witnessed. At an early hour
he was met at the residence Of Capt. John NJ
| Sharp, a veteran Democrat whose services on
the tented field and in the councils Of the
State are familiar to all our readers and escor-
ted with music and banners to the place de-
signated for the Barbecue and speaking, by
procession nearly half a mile in length
Arriving on the ground, he was welcomed by
shout from the immense concourse there
assembled, which rose up and rolled far away
breaking the stiffness of the surrounding
hills and vallies.
COL Davis speech was an elaborate, elo
quent, frank and effective discussion of the
vital issues involved in the Presidential con-
| test and clear exposition of his views touch
ing the duty of the South in the event Of the
election oil Lincoln.
Occupying nearly three hours in its delive-
ry, he was listened to with marked, we may
say, with rapt attention.
After a sumptuous dinner, the company
again assembled and were addressed by Gen.
Wharton in one of the most powerful and
convincing speeches we have heard fall from
his lips. The highest compliment which can
be paid to it, is to say that the same audience
which had listened to the powerful address of
Col. Davis, still gave to him their eager and
undivided attention
A pleasing feature of the ceremonies was
the presentation of beautiful cake with ap-
propriate emblems and embellishments by the
ladies of Benton to Col. Davis and the other
invited guests. Hon. B. R. Holmes, on-pre-
senting this testimonial in behalf of the ladies',
delivered an exceedingly chaste and eloquent
address which was gracefully responded to by
Col Davis.
the meeting before its proceedings were brought
to a close.
1t was announced that it would be continu-
ed on the next day by speeches from our elo-
quent townsman, Capt. VIM. M EStelle who
is deservedly great favorite with the Demo-
cracy of Yazoo and who doubtless come fully
up to the high measure ofdelightful anticipa-
ton with which the assembled multitude look
ed forward to its delivery and also from the
Hon. o. R. Singleton who has long represen-
ted the people of this District faithfully in
representative in our State Legislature from
the county of Holmes; and probably others.
On the whole, it was glorious demonstra-
ton to which our thoughts will long revert
with joy and with pride, as one who cherishes
a warm devotion to the Democratic cause,
and love for the rights it is intended to pro-
tect.

The Breckinridge and Lane Club al
Raymond.

1t afforded us no little pleasure to attend
meeting of this association, on "Wednesday
last. The centre of our county organization,
too much praise cannot be awarded to its
members for the zeal which they have dis
played throughout the canvass for the adj
vancement Of the Breckenridge and Lane
ticket, and the glorious principles of which it
is the representative.
TO the members of the Club, individually
and collectively, we desire to offer our thanks
for the courtesy and kindness which they dis
played towards US on the occasion of the
meeting on Wednesday.
Free discussion having been rendered by
the Club, the 0ppositionists were represented
by Hon. A. r. Johnston, whose wretchedly
bad cause was sustained without single sub
.stantial fact or sound argument. but with
much plausible sophistry and special pleading.
