in Mississippi:
eve re in the midst of a revolution Our
State has seeded, and God only knows where
we are drifting. We havenot dollar in the
Treasury. and presume we shall have to sub
NIT to a forced loan. Then will come a reign
of terror, for many acA not submit. South Car
DINA is doing this now, and her citizens are be-
ginning to complain, and my opinion is that the
counter current will! soon set in against the dis
unionists, and drive them from power. Misss-
sippi is cursed with sadly wicked set of poll
ticians, who are determined to push forw ard
heir pet scheme, or ruin the south-that is the
opening of the African slave trade, God only
