On Saturday morning last about o'clock
arrived at fernando. The people from
different parts Of the county were alread,
gathering, and although the weather was in
tensely cold it was very soon apparent tha
that the whole county had become thor
oughly aroused, and determined TO resis
Northern aggression, ,.e. t,s. ..-.,.-,.
The Irrepressibles" had a grill in tn,
morning. and showed themselves entirel,
worthy ofthe high compliment that was paic
them at the Pamela Fair, and I rejoiced Il
see 50 gallant and efficient a corps Of volun
teers In the good old county. W. -es
The meeting of citizens was organized BY
calling DIR. Temple to the Chair, and ap
pointing Col. 7. Lewis, Secretary.
After the chairman had explained the OBJ
ject Of the meeting, in few appropriate and
patriotic remarks, it was announced that the
county Of Tunica had sent over her declara
tion, and on motion, Mr.. Jno. d. Trotter, OF
that county was requested to take the stand
The request was respoded to by Mr. Trotter,
who, after few explanatory remarks, pro-
cceded to read the resolutions from the
county of Tunica. They were received with
great applause. A copy ofthese resolutions
regret that could not procure. .f
On motion, committee was then ap-
pointed to draft resolutions expressive of the
sense of the meeting.
On motion of Gen. Chalmers, Messrs.
Cluskey, of Memphis, ard Crump and Sim
mons, of Pamela, were invited to address the
meeting during the absence of the Commit
tee. ..,.. ...
Col. Cluskey was the first invited to the
stand, and for half an hour proceeded to ad-
dress the meeting in patriotic and eloquent
strain, in which he was often interrupted by
the hearty applause of the audience.
q. Col. Crump next went forward in response
to repeated calls, and held the attention of
the meeting for some twenty minutes.
A letter was then read from Samuel John
son, Esq, of the County, in which he ex-
pressed the opinion that Mississippi ought
to seccdc before the 4th of March.
DIR. Temple being called away on profess
sional business, the venerable r. L. Saun-
ders, Esq, was called to the Chair.
The meeting was addressed by nmber
of other gentlemen, old and young, and
among them the venerable Chairman, and
Mcssrs. Job Harrell. Ger. Chalmers, Col
Johnson, Mr.. Nelms and Col. Yates.
All the speakers, SO far az heard, were in
favor of resistance.

The Necessity Of Labor.

The notion is false that genius can secure its
aims without labor. All the great minds who
have left their marks upon the history of the
worlds progress have paid for their success and
noteriety by the price of unremtting toll and la
Dor.
Napoleon Bonaparte worked hard and inccs-
sanity, and has been known to exhaust the en-
ergies ofs several secretaries at one time
Charles XII, ofSwedcn, frequently tired out
all his officers.
The Duke Of Wellington was the hardest
working man in the Peninsula; his energies
never tagged q.
Milton from his youth applied himself with
such indefatigablc application to the study of
letters that it occasioncd weakness of sight and
ultimate blindness.
The labor Of Sir Walter Scott is evident in tho
number of his literary productions, and il is ap-
parent to every reader that the immense masses
of general information which abound throughout
his multtidinous works could only have been
acquired by dint of many years hard study.
Byron was in the habit ofrcading even at his
meals.
Luther made it a rule to translate verse of
the Bibl, every dav. This soon brought him to
the completion Of his labors and It was matter
of astonishmcnt to Europe that in the multiplicity
of his other labors, besides travelling, he could
find time to prepare such a surprising work.
Newton and Locke pursued their studies with
treIess efforts, and Pope sought retirement so
that he might pursue his literary operations with
out interruption and distraction.
Industry is essential to all by forming the
habit Of doing something useful every day,
man increases his own amount Of happiness and
cnlarges that Of others around him.
Many ono, by judicious use Of the odd mo-
mcnts, thos. little vacancies in every day life
which occur to all, have rendered themselves
famous among their fellows.
Nature is preserved in its proper working con-
dition by constant exertion, and man, to keep a
hcalthful condition Of mind and body, must ex
ert his mental and physical faculties the con
slant employment Of the first will give the
strength Of character, SO that it is capable Of
thinking on any subject at any time, and by ac-
tive bodily cxcrtion he preserves his health, his
fortune and worldly position.
The Marquis Of Spinola once asked Sir Horace
We're 'of what his brother died = las

nothing to do - -l...--,...lI g. assll ..
"Alas sir" said Spinola, "that is enough to
kill any general Of us all" s ..4- ss.,,.

Slips or the Pen.

RHrxrSe lovers generally WOO their sweet
hearts in such wretched verse, that Il is no won

Ir was wittily, but somewhat ungallsntly
said that woman is the very reverse Of her
mirror--the one reflects without talking, the
other talks without rejecting.
A CLEAR stream reflects all objects that arc
upon its shore, but is unsullied by them; so /,

the effect of all objects and yet remain un
harmed by any. t-

A GOOD story is told concerning the writing
Of a certain railroad manager. He had written
to man on the route, notifying him that he
must remove barn, which in some manner in
commoded the road, under penalty of prosecu-
ton. The threatened individual was unable to
read any part Of his letter but the signature,
tool It to be free pass on the road, and used it
for couple Of years as such, none Of the con-
ductors being able 10 dispute his Interpretation.

Right from Heaven"

Iva miserable cottage at the bottom Of hill.
two children were lowering over smouldering
fire. A tempest ragged without, fearful tenn
nest against which man and beast were alike
powcrlcss.
A poor old miscr, much poorer than these
shivcring children, though he had heaps Of
money at home, drew his ragged cloak about
him as hc crouchcd down at the threshold of the
miserable den. lie dared not enter, for fear they
would AJAX pay for shelter, and he could not

So they began, and the miscr, crouching and
shivering, listened. When they paused, expect
ing in their childish faith to see some miraculous
manifestation, a human feeling stole into his
heart; God sent some angel to soften it He had
bought loaf at the village, thinking Il would
last him great many days; but the silence of
the two little children spoke louder to him than
the voice Of many waters. He opened the ,or

famished little ones. q,

Let's ask him TO give father work to do all

The storm passed; the miser went home. A
little flower had sprung up in his heart; it was
no longer barren. In few weeks he died, but
not before he had given the cottage, which was
his, 70 the poor laboring man. And the little
children ever felt a sweet and solemn emotion
when in their matutinal devotion they came to
those trustful words: Give US this day our
daily bread"

poor fraction of consciousness Of humanity Is
awakened. and the sanctities still slunber which
make it worth while to be knowledge. truth,

PERSONAL Liberty BILL IN VERMosT.-
The proposition, bsfore the Vermont Legis-
lature, to repeal the Personal Liberty Bill,
now on the Statute books of that State, has
failed. Vermont is determined to persist in
violating the Constitution and the rights of
the fifteen Slave States, even though the plea
for the repeal of her nullifying laws be the
salvation of the Union. The South has no
thing to hope for from the North.
