CLIPPINGS FROM A SOUTHERN

! We cut the following pieces from a
Mississippi paper, they will serve to
show the position Of the press and peo-
pie of that State on the secession
question:
i THE PRESS OF MISSISSIPPI.
The unanmity of the Press of Miss
issippi on the subject Of Statcs.rights
is truly encouraging. The Viclzs.
burg Wig almost stands alone in adj
vocating tame submission to the en-
, croachments of Black Republicanism.
Whatever may be the action of the
State, the press at least will have done
its duty, for nearly ever paper in every
section Of the State teens with the
spirit and fire of'7G. But we have no
fears of Mississippi. Her majority for
resistance will be immense, and her
gallant sons are already organizing
their "Minutc Men," in nearly all the
counties of the State, ready at 4 mo-
ment's warning to defend her own fire.
sides or fly to the relief Of South Caro-
lima. This is as it should be. The
Black Republicans Of the North will
soon learn that all the turmoil and
bluster down South are not mere sound
and fury, signiiying nothing. They
will find, when probably it will be too
late to repent OF their folly and tanat.

TIE FEELING. .ar
A few days visit to Kinds county
has led us to the conclusion that Abra
ham will hardly get his ugly mug into
\ the White House. Never before did
we witness such unanimity; Parties
are dead and buried, and but one sen.
timent seems 10 pervadc all minds
that the time has come for the South
to stand mantully in her own defence.
At Terry, flag ia stretched from the
Bell to the Breckenridge pole, will,
the word, 'Rcsistance'' in large let
tiers on it. In Raymond, VIC saw upon
the same stand, uttering almost the
same sentiments, two distinguished
men whose political opinions have
heretofore separated them as far as the
east from the west.:Amos r. Johnston
and G. E. Hooker. An immense au-
dicncc were present to hear them, and
every word me! an approving response
from the crowd. Hereafter We are
to be one people! The longed-tor day,
when the people Of the south should
lock hands, and stand shoulder to
shoulder, has arrived. There will be
no more division among US. There
may be 4 difference as to the mode and
measure of redress, but in the deter
minalion to demand and to haze an
equal showing, there is but one opln.
ion. All are agreed upon the folly of
longer begging the question, or com.
promising great principles or interests,
for fear OF q dissolution of the Union.-
The Wings of Kinds, are almost to a
man, determined to stand by and
defend their brethren of the south.
And, in the eloquent language OF
Hooker, ,the first Fedral gun that booms
over: South Carolina, will call to her
aid thousands of the gallant sons Of the
south, who will dare and die in her de.
