The ssathern Press.


We arc indebted to our friend, Mr..
Barnes, for Mobile paper of The goth,
aud the Memphis Avalanche Of the 22d
of May. They arc sorry specimens,
printed on diminu,ive half .hects u dingy
paper, and with very little effort ut dis
play.
Amongst other things Of some local in
terest We notice call by J. r. Allen,
la familiar name hereaboutsl "Agent for
Gan. Beauregard." for farewell contri-
button by the citizens Of I'll manner Of
good things to be forwarded by railroad
to the suffering soldiers at Corinth. The
eloquent exhurtation interlarded with
s"rirtnral quotatiors leave no doubt of
The identity OF the author with "a chris
iian gentleman" Of high standing who re-
presented the Democracy of Lee county
in the Iowa Senate couple Of years ago.
Probably, as our troops have possession
OF Memphis, the gentleman might be in
duced to return to Keokuk and run for
Congress on the Nallandigham ticket this
fall.
Here is an interesting local entirely in
keeping and the only local there is in the
PAPER:
CASE OF HERoIsM.
Ii IL truly wonderful how inspiriting an
effect tho war II having upon men. Jos.
Warner actually faced woman the night
before last, aud struck her most valiantly,
Tor which deed Of yslor and high en-
prise, he was this morning fined $40 and
costs by Recorder Moore.
-Four likely negroes are announced for
sale for cash--Confederate money or gold.
The editor who sympathizes with and
commends the vallandigham movement,
also advises the assassination of Prentice,
of the Louisville Journal, and asserts that
Prentice and Parson Brownlow ought TO
have been hing long ago.
The Mobile paper is somewhat larger
than that Of Memphis, bu. not better look
ing.
The editor rejoiccs over the gallant re-
ply Of the Mayor Of Nicksburg to the
Yankee Commodore that ''Mississip pisns
don't know how to surrender"
Now, as our "schoolmasters are abroad, y
down that way they can teach MISSISSIPPI
plans chow to surrender "a well rs other
necessary and useful knowledge.
There is general order from Beaure-
gard in which the motto for the Confed.
crate army is said TO be Forward, and
always forward That, ssillustrated BY
their movements, means forward, and al.
ways forward, en- the retreat.
Then we have sharp editorial on
"grumbleu,' from which it appears tina,
almost everybody down in Dixie are in {
bad Lumor, and very much given 70
grumble, to the great encouragement and
decentralization of their brave troops in
the field.
After this comes m objurgatory and
pathetic article against Lincoln. Seward
and the Abolitionists, who brought on
this terrible war. We need not give En-
tracts, for our contemporary and the rest Of
the valiandigham papers Of the North
abound in just such editorials.
A correspondent ut Corinth fsds much
fault with the Confederate ofiicsr Of com
panies and regiments who are resigning BY
SORES and going home, while the privates,
deprived Of that privilege, are compelled
to Fight it cut.
The correspondent, also announces that
the famous Rev. DR.. Palmer, OF New Or.
iesns, was delivering addresses TO the
troops Il Cosinth to arouse their iudirna.
ticn in view OF the insulting order oil
Gen. Butler in reference to Southern
ladiss-their wives and mothers.
Hers ars some miscellaneous items from
the Aame papers:
- The Yankee Secretary of the Navy
has issnsd "a order authorizing the em-
ploynsns Of runaway negroes on beard Of
ships IN Sonthsrn waters. They are to be
stsd - hoys and q hare IS, 80 or $40
