The Battery at vicksburg

The Governor Of Mississippi, in a special
message to the Legislature of that State, dated

burg in the following terms:
"Being advised by the Governor of Louisana
that he had reason to belieue that an expedition
,oOuld be sent dOt0n the Mississippi rioer to rein
force the Gdrrtsons of the Forts and ATsenals o.
that State, / sent Capt. Kerr with sixteen of the
Jackson Artillery Company, and ordered Capt.
H. H. Miller to call out the Volunteer Com
panies of Vicksburg, and take such position as
ioOuid enable him TO preuent dny hostile expedition
from the Northern States descending the riuer
Learning that the Forts and Arsenals were fully
garrisoned by Louisiana, have directed Capt
H II. Miller to Withdraw his forces from the
position they had taken"

l6O7.-In 1907, John Smith, a Senator of
the United States from Ohio. was examined
by the Senate as to whether be had not, by
entertaining Aaron Burr under his roof, and at.
terwards meeting him for some purpose In Gin
cinnati and Kentucky-no more than this being
shown against him-been "guilty Of conduct
Incompatible with his duty and station" He
was ably defended, and 1t was claimed for him
that at most he was only guilty of an indiscre-.
Burr's designs, or had in any way given them
oountenance; and yet resolution reported by
John Quincy Adams that he ought to be expell
ed from his seat got l9 out Of 20 votes. The
vote was not two-thirds, but Mr.. Smith resign

The following is the closing paragraph Of a
long article in the Newburyport, Mass Herald
The editor supported LINCOLN, at the last elec-
ton, but is now, as will be inferred from the
extract below, very moderate Republican
We may see dsunion but the parts will re-
unite, we may see fragments thrown from the
central pivot, but as sure as the law of gravi-
tation brings back what Is hurled from the sur
face Of the earth, so sure must all here tend to
the centre. The very confguration Of the con
tinent, the formation Of the mountain ranges,
the scooping out Of the valleys, the coDjoining
Of the lakes, and the courses Of the rivers, are
natures guarantees Of our unity. II Is only
now question whether unity shall grow with
peace aud brotherly affection, or whether vio-
lence shall reign, blood flow, and then free
dom and union be sought afterwards. II we
will quiet our passions and forget our parties
We may agree to day-each may compromise
to. day. II not, We fght-we pour our treasure,
we waste life, we ALLEVIATE affections, but Meth.
or will conquor-neither will be subjected, ,'and
in the end We shall make peace and compomise
as we can today, and not q whit better,
