CORRECTION.

We received note from High
land friend to-day calling attention to
the fact that we had published the
voteof Highland incorrectly-itshould
have been 1877 for Gov. Letcher and
not 81. This was simply an omission
and does not effect the sum total.

The w ar in Mississippi.

/
A number of gentlemen have reached
Atlanta. direct from Central Mississippi,
FALL Of whom bring the cheering accounts as
to an Improvement in the condition of af-
fairs in that department. The Appeal Of
yesterday gets from them the following in
formation:
For several days previous to Monday
last-when one of our informants left Gen
Johnston's headquarters there had been
daily communications between the com
manding generals The commanders are
now acting in concert-Gen. Pemberton
having signi6ed his ability to bold his po-
sition SO as to give Gen Johnston time to
organize his army, which he is now doing,
and placing it III position to aid the be-
seiged any moment. or if full time is
given him by Grant, to get ready to strike
decisive blow.
1t has not been generally known that
Gen. Johnstoa's army is concentrated with
but little artil cry, means of Transportation
and commissary supplies. It was neces-
sary to Withhold this information from our
own people, who were expecting immediate
action, for obvious reasons. We have the
strongest assurances, however, that these
! deficiencies have been supplied.
Gen.. Johnston has his right resting on
| Yazoo river. near Yazoo City, and his left
at point on the Southern Railroad, west
Of jackson. He is constantly in the field,
and his troops kept alert, more for the pur-
/ pose Of inuring them to the fatigues Of an
active campaign than for watching the enc
my. For the latter purpose he has large
cavalry force of veterans, used to the ser.
vice, and under the leadership ola skillful
leader. We congratulate the country up
on the Frightening prospects in Mississip-
pi, and if Gen. Johnston's wish for rein
forcemcnts is eratiGed, will look for a
specify ard decided triumph

For the yindicator

Mr.. EDIToR : In the last Spectator
1 noticed an Editorial article, entitled "the
guod old way" which occasioned me much
surprise. When the enemy were marching
triumphautly up the Valley, driving the
small band Of veterans under Stonewal
jackson before them, who on account Of the
paucity of his numbers was compelled ()
to leave the main road, retreating to Port
Republic, thus leaving, as twas thought,
invaders, the writer of that article did not
show, at that most opportnne moment, even
desire to defend his home. When we
were standing firmly and defending his
property and home at the expense of soms
Of the best blood in our army, where was
he? Leaving his printing Office and prop
erty he fed at the first approach Of danger
to Lewisburg, (not from fear Of the enemy
but simply Of lighting in defence Of has Aonae
as the enemy occupied the section to
which he fed) where he remained until
forced back by the CONSUMPTION act and a
fear Of the con6scation Of his property as an
alien enemy.
1t is said that doctors rarely practice what
they preach, aud III this instance, judging
by his acts, '.the good old way" when Tarle-
ton threatened, which ne breaches, would
not be has 'good old tcay
This much have thought proper to say
III reference to the Editor Of the Spectator
who 50 urjustly sssails officers who did
their duty. and who ST. cd at their posts,
when he so shamefully fled to escape fight
ing for has oon and his neighbors' homes
It may be proper to add that the writer al
though from another State. assisted in the
defense Of this same Editors home in that
remarkable Valley campaign and is still

KEGS,

A friend has handed US copy of the
New York Tribune Of December 6, 1859,
which contains a "Reminiscences that is par
ticularly refreshing aud note worthy at this
time. We copy the paragraph:
'.Parson Brunwnlow'' o. Tennessee at
tend Pro-Savery indignation meeting at
Lynchburg. Va, on the 1st and made a
characteristic speech He said he would
rather to be with the South in Pandemonl-
UNI than to be with the Abolistiouist in
Heaven He also remarked that he inten-
ded to give his family instructions not to
bury h m in Yankee coffin, but if, in case
of an emergency, they should have to do SO,
that they must lave both ends.open, SO that
when the devil and the Abolitionis's came in
at one end he could go out at the other.
A worthy champion Of Slavery is the Rev.
w G. Brownlow.
Which has Brownlow fallen in love with,
the Devil or the Aboli,ionists ? He regarded
them, ia 1859, as allies inseparable for
all. eternity and his great anxiety was to
escape their company We wonder if he
carried a, Southern coffin with him to YAM
keedom or did his reconciliation with the
Yankees include also conveyance of his
soul to s.O.d Scratch?
Worthy associates, both in this world
and the next are Brownlow and Greeley.
