Leiterfrom mr. Lamar.

Below we publish letter from Hon. L. Q.
C. Lanai, to his constituents oftiis Congress
ional District. The letter was intended for
last weeks LatsHigsaeer; but was received
after the forms were on the press. twill be
seen that MF. LAMAR expresses his purpose
of declining to be candidate for reelection
TO Congress, after. the term fof which he
has been elected shall have sexpired. Al
though we have known, for some days, that
such was Mr. LA,IAR's determination. yet We
must express the deep regret, which we feel,
in common with all his constituency, at see
ing The councils of the nation deprived Of
one who is the pride of his State and the
hope ofthe South. Our young enthusiasm
was all enlisted for Mr. LAMAR, the iirst time
we ever heard him speak. There was so
much real manliness in his tone, so mach
siatesmanship ofthe Calhoun stamp, in the
principles which he enuneiated 50 much force
in his reasoning, that we Immediately placed
him high on the roll of Americas great men,
and declared, through the columns of the
Holly Springs HsraH, our earnest wish to
see him in the Senate Of the United States.-
Mr. LAMAR has proved himself, not merely
true to the Constitution and the rights Of the
South; but fully able to meet and hurl bacl,
the attacl, of all who chose to array themselves
in opposition 70 him. Mr.. LAMAR would
iill, with honor to himself, anl to the great
profit of his constituency, aay position; and
we regret very much that he has determined
to withdraw from public life. The epeople can
hardly give up such man as he.
Mr.. LAMAR will be absent from the State for
a few days, for the purpose Of bringing home
his family. On his return, he will enter ea.-
ucstly upon the canvass for Breckinridse anl
Lane.

Fellow CITIZENS The time has arrived

my purpose not 10 become a candidate TO

term. My nomination, three years ago, to
the position now occupy was the result of
q compromise growing ont Of the diliicalty in
making selection among the various candi-
dates whose claims were not prominently be-
fore the convention. The pleasure waish /
f.lt at this unexpected manifestation cfpub.

Aaction that ~ promotion was Mt tha cy-
pcase ofgealomcn whose title to the position
was based upon longer residence in tha State
and ADLER services to The party. IprcItrrcl,
therefore, at the close Of my first tenn Of ser

and to retire to u lie more conganial to my
taste and more consistent with my private

NOn-Enleryeniion.

This r. a text upon which the apoogists
for Mr. Douglas preach many an earnest SER
mon TO their brother Democrats. They are
evidently sincere preachers of what they con
eciye to be the true political faith, and they
are utterly unable to comprehend how it Is
thatthey fail to make converts by their preach
ing. They tel us for example, in the Ian
guaga Of the Charleston minority report, that
democratic principles whcn applied to the
same subicct-matter, are Interchangeable in their
character" anil thea, adgelting 70 the fact
that non-intervention has hitherto been
recognized as a sound Democmt; doctrine,
they profass-sinccrey, toe, no doubt-to be
amazed that their listeners do not acccde to
their proposition, urged by them, that pro-
lection to slavery in the Territories, afforded
by Congress, would be an infraction of the
doctrine of "non-intcryention."
Those men who reason in this manner do
not understand the simple but important fact,
that practical statesmen, when they enunciata
palileal principles, in a general form, do not
PIT them forth rs absolute truths, Of uniyer-
sal application, but that the meaning of eve
ry general principle is to be limited and re-
straincl, in practice, 10y considering the par
ticular point or question which the principle
was desilnel to meet, just as The generality
oflaws is restrained by the courts, by consd-
eging The nature of the particular evils which
the laws were intended TO remove or remedy.
\ few years ago, when the opponents Of
slavery undertook, in Congress- to apply to
the Territories what was known rs the "Nyil-
mot proyiso," under which slavery wa, to
be excluded by direct Congressional le-isla-
ton, the doctrine of noaintcrvcntioan was
brought forward in orlcrto meet the mischief
sought to be inflicted on the South through
the "Wilmot proyiso." "Squatter soycr-
rignty,' AMI "unfricnlly legislation by Ter
-Iitorial authority" had not then been invent
cl by Mr.. Douglas; aud, of course, no one
thought, at that day, of guarding against an
evil which had never manifested itclf AMI from
which, therefore, nothing was apprchcnlcd.
Now, however "squattcr sovereignty" has
become an evil, and "non-intcryention is
not the medicine to cure that disease. 1t
was originally prepared for another and very
different disorder. II

/ Mr.. EDIroR During as'short visit to Oxford,
/ it was my good fortune to attend concert given
by the pupils Of College Hill Seminary, On ths
evening Of the 26th of june, and, notwithstand-
/ ing it was Commencement Week " at the Uni
yersity. and Oxford was all excitement with its
round Of parties, levees, etc, still there were
enough present at the Concert to crowd ths
hail. and to gladden. the young hearts of the fair
daughters of College Hill with their encouraging
+ smiles Although 50 unfortunate as to be absent
+ dining the performance Of the first four or five
pieces, vet, arrived in time TO listen with won
der and delight to the wild and weTd-like notes
of the Carnival de Yeniee,v sometimes rs soft
and sweet as the music of H7olian harp-strings,
and then again as deep and unearthly as a de-
mons song. This splendid piece was performed
by Miss Emma r., in style worthy of one Of
ripper years.
The "Elfn Waltz" by Misses r. W. aud \.
c. was as sweet as the ''Music of Dream" and
It's familiar notes called to mind the vanished
joys Of school boy days.
The " Farmers Wife" by Misses I. H. and \.
b., was pretty and appropriate.
The "Anyil Chorus" which was "put down"
to the young ladies last mentioned was, by re-
quest played by Mrs. Paine, the beautiful and
accomplished wife of the Principal; and the
perfect ease with which this "heayy" piece was
"handlcd," showed how well she was qualified
for her position rs music teacher.
Itwould require too much space to mention
al that was pretty or interesting. The Golden
Piprin Schott,h-Noio Gray yariations-Con-
cert Polka-Beware-O Dolce Concerto, otc,
were ell beautiful and well executed.

Of us. Il consisted IMPLYING = distinct piece

The Fourth at Taylor's Depot.
The National Anniversary of our Indepen-
denee was-eelebrated at Taylofs Depot, eight
miles south of this place, on the Mississippi
Central Railroad, with much spirit.
The place selected MAS beautiful grove
on the summit of the hill opposite DIR. Tay-
lor's residence, aud in sight of the Railroad.
1t was estimated by several who were present,
that there were al least one thousand persons
on the ground, one halt Of whom were la
dies.
The Lafayette Guards under the com
mand of the gallant Capt. DELAY, in full uni
form, were in attendance. The company
lately organized in that immediate neighbor-
hood, were there also, but as they had not
vet received their uniform, they did not ap-
pear in ranks. Capt. WALLACE regretted it,
as he could and would have been pleased TO
pie with the Oxford boys on the OCCASION.
The ceremonies were opened by Capt. De-
LAY, who was appointed Marshal of the day,
by introducing Mr. FRANK MITCHELL, who
read the Declaration of Independence with
much spirit; after which the Hon. j. y.
/ HowRY was introduced to the audience, who
/ delivered an address Of about an hours
/ length. He reviewed the services Of our rev
olutionary fathers, and reeountel their sacri-
fees in the cause Of American Independence.
He took rapid glance at the history and
progress Of our country, and traced the his
/ tory of our troubles and divisions, as now
existing between the different portions Of our
ccnfederacy, from their source to the present
time. lie urged upon every PARROT, who
desired to popetuate the blessings Of self

the Constitution of the United States, which
were articles Of our filth and bonds Of union
that bind us together as a people. His re-
marks were of a practicable character, and
suited to the exigency of the times.
After he closed his remarks, dinner was
announced and the ladies were conducted 70
the table by the Lafayette Guards under
Capt. DELAY, assisted by Capt. WALLACE
Tho long rows Of fables were nearly Gllel
with ladies, and many gentlemen had to wait
for dinner awhile.
