AdIournrcI.t OF Congress.

Congress, after a session of storm and noisy
talking, adjourned on Monday last, june 25th.
Very little has been done for the good Of the
country. The Black Republicans have had con-
troll Of the House of Representatives; and the
main object of all their abors has been to gain
votes for their party in the coming Presidential
election. For this purpose they brought charges
Of corruption, not merely against the Democratic
party but against President buchanan himself
They appointed Committee of Investigation,
which, at great expense to the country, employed
a host Of clerks, and summoned as Witnesses
from far and near all those disappointed Office
seekers and ofice-holders, and contTacors, who,
for incapacity or villany, had been discharged
from the public service, and who, in the bitter
ness Of their hearts, had turned to sting with
false testimony and lying assertions, the hands
that had fed them. And what has Mr.. Covode's
Committee provcdy Nothing against Mr. Bu-
chanan absolutely nothing at all, unless it be
that they have shown the country to what
depths of dirtiness this Black Republican party
can descend. So long as this party with one
idea maintains its ascendancy in the House, so
long will the South be neglected, and abused,
too; SO long will the chickering's and heart burn
ings between the sections grow warmer and
more frequent; so long will the already strain
ing bonds of Union grow less and less strong;
till, if the control of the Government passes
into its hands, the weight of wrong and injustice
will snap the once strong bonds asunder; and
the South, relying upon the inherent goodness of
her cause, and upon the "God who giyeth the
battle to the right" will loosen the cords of
Union, and step forth to be one mighty in
the ranks of nations. Heaven grant the
North may awaken to the dangers which /
threaten the Union Of the States through
the fragrant injustice of thisBlacb Republ .
can party Heaven grant that the good and
true men there may come TO the rescue
boldly and speedily; and that the coming /
Presidential election, and the improved complex ,
ion of the next Congress may show people re- .
turning TO their senses, and fully awake TO the .
high duties which they owe to their fellow
countrymcn of the South. V

BeII and Everett.

We suppose it to be sober fact that it is the
intention of the 0ppositionists of Mississippi to
ascertain, by the test of actual experience, how
many men there are in the State who can be
persuaded to declare, through the ballot box,
their preference for The two very respectable old
gentlemen whose names are above set down, for
the offices of President and Viee-President Of
these United States.
We do not suppose it has ever entered the
mind of the most rabid 0ppositionist among us
that his ticket stands the remotest chance Of
succeeding in the State; but we can readily COM
prehend the motives by which some of the more
prominent of the wire-pullers among them are
actuatcd. They are impeled forward in their
present course by an undying hatred Of De
mocracy. So fierce is this feeling, that they
would prefer to see the country plunged in ruin,
even though they were themselves involved in
the general destruction, rather than permit that
party which they 50 abhor to control the govern
ment Indeed so far arc they carried by the
tide of their unreasoning prejudices, that they
suffer their leaders, without rebuke, to appeal to
them not only to preserve the Union as the SUI
prcme good, but to submit, tamely and in silence,
to all the aggressions, whether actually perpe-
trated or only threatened, which the North has
in fcted and holds in reserve for us. 1t has ac-
tually been declared, within few weeks past,
publicly, from the stump, in Mississippi, by
Bell and Everett candidate for the Office Of Elee
tor, that the South has really no grievances to
complain of at the hands Of the North, while
the North, for many years, had been quietly
submitting TO manifold aggressions at our hands;
and that, if We of the South would but "bchaye
ourselves" the North would afford us no just
cause of complaint! How much worse than
this, or in what particular differently from this,
we would like to be informed, would a man talk
who was on the electoral ticket Of Lincoln and
Hamlin? And how many votes can be pro-
cured by the employment Of such appeals, we
would also like to know; but we suppose we
must wait until after the election for official infor
nation on that head. In the meantime, let each
of our readers solemnly ask himself the ques-
ton, whether he is willing deliberately to aid the
mad schemes of men who address them with |
such arguments as those just indicated. v

UnirersItr of Mississippi.

The Commencement exercises Of this institu-
ton were introduced on the morning of Sunday,
the oath instant by the Commencement Ser
non," which was preached in the University
Chapel at 10 1-2 A. NJ, by the Rev. Robert B.
White, d. D., of Tuscaloosa, Ala, from Psalms
cxix, 9-"Wherev ithal shall a young man
cleanse his way2 By taking heed thereto ac-
cording to TRY word" The sermon was very
able production, indicating that its author must
be deep and original thinker, whose mind had
been improved by thorough cultivation and
large acquaintance with many knowledges and
II was listened to with great and evidently inter
estcd attention by thelargest audience probably,
that ever assembled In Oxford on a similar
occasion.

The Baltimore and EsichRiOnd Con-
ventiOEs.

"Thc long agony" at last is over; and a
large part Of the National wing of the old time
honored Democratic Party, after a long and earn
est struggle against the insidious approaches of
the anti-slavery sentiment has become, through
the faithfulness of portion of those who for
merly adhered to it. diseased almost beyond the
hope That il may be restored to a state of healthy
action.
The telegraph, and our returning delegates,
have informed us that the DIVISION in the Balti-
more Convention, between the uphodcrs and OPP
poncnts of the doctrine Of "Squattcr Sovereign
ty," was of a hopclcssly incurablc character from
the outset, and that, after a much greater num-
ber of seccssions had taken place than at
Charleston, the remainder proceeded to nom-
nate, for President, Mr.. Douglas, and, for Vice
President, Ex-Governor Fitzpatrick, of Alabama;
while the seeding delegates, having assembled
at Richmond, and adopted what was known at
Charleston as "the Majority Platform" nomi-
mated Mr.. Breckenridge for President, and Gen.
Lane for Vice-P President. These are the promi-
ncnt facts, which, up to the present time, are
have put MS fully in possession of all the details
of the proceedings of the two Conventions; and,
m the absence of fuller information, we forbcar,
for the present, further comments in relation to
them.
Twice, within six months past, have the De
mocracy of Mississippi through their convcn-
tions, authoritatively expressed their utter con-
demnation of the hcresy of "Squatter Sovcr-
cignty." Their delegates, at Charleston, at
Baltimore and at Richmond have faithfully
rcprescntcd them, and have united with sound
and conservative delegates from other States in
the nomination of candidates who stand upon
platform to which no Mississippi Democrat can
refuse to yield his appreciation.
We have now to look out FOR strstagems. The
leaders of the Opposition, in this State, willy
old campaigners, and will attempt no doubt to
encourage the handful Of Douglas men among us
to take steps for the formation of a Douglas
ticket under the dclusive expectation that the
great mass of the Opposition will give that ticket
their support-the real object being, to so divide
and distract the Democratic forces as to leave
room for the Bell and Everett ticket to run in be-
tween the separated party. We trust that no
such scheme will be attempted, or, if it be at
tempted, that no favor will be shown to it. 1t
is true that we may not be atle to elect Breckin-
ridse and Lane by the votes of the Electoral
College but it is also true, that according to all
present Indications, there is not the ghost of a
chance for the Douglas, Bell, or Lincoln ticket to
succeed before the people No party is strong
enough in the House of Representatives to elect
the President, and the consequence would be that
the Vice-President to be chosen by the soundy
Democratic Senate. would WELD the powers of
the Presidential Office for the next four years. 1t
follows, therefore, that our people have nothing
to gain, while they have much to lose, in going
astray after any whimsey of the Douglas men. v

A Bull FIGHrs A LocoMorIvE.-The 9th,
er day, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle,
pluckey little bull, who lives on the line of
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh railroad about
six miles from Wheeling, was grazing about
near the track and picking the fresh grass
blades out from between the ties, when he
heard locomotive coming down upon him.
The locomotive whistled for the bull to clear
the track, which the bull made an effort TO
do, but being closely crowded by the iron
horse, and not being disposed to show the
white feather, even to a superior and frey
opponent, his young bullship turned about,
paved the earth, bowed his head, with the
determination to give his pursuer the best he
had in the shop. The engineer seeing this
put on steam enough to knock the bull sky
high. The two came together with terri
ble crash. His bullship was Knocked INTO
an indefinite number of small pieces and
the engine was thrown from the track.

Or as thus:

FRIDAY, noon.-Yanccy wants to dissolve
the Union. Some of us agreed to lick him
and all his crowd. Think he heard of it,
for he looked black as thunder this morning.
Seen him coming, and stepped round the
corner. HoRsE-SHoE NED"
Now, in recalling these things, there has
suddenly come over us a singular suspicion.
We remember that the Senior of the Nail is
the biographer of Simon Suggs. We know
the fertility of his invention, and his mis-
chieveus propensity for running smooth-cut-
ting saws upon an unsuspecting public. We
doubt if there is any Horseshoe Ned. If
there is, why have we never heard of him
but through the Nail? And what gives him
his right to Horseshoe Nedl Does he live
on the Horseshoe, or does he make horse
shoes, or does he wear horse-shoes, or did
he fight the battle of the Horse-Shoel-
These questions the editor of the Mail will
have to answer satisfactorily, or he must
make up his mind to hang up this old saw,
and buy new one. II, however, he shall
succeed in clearing himself of the imputa-
ton here cast upon him, and, in establishing
the actual fiesh-and-blood existence of his
eccentric friend, we are entirely ready and
willing to make the a.Rende, both to himself
and to Mr. Hanrick; and, in evidence of our
sincerity, we tender to them our best services
and the freedom of our sanctum whenever
