We have seen copy of this spicy pa
per, which is published semi-occasion-
ally by Mr.. Mudsill, Mr.. Small-fsted
Farmer, Mr.. Greasy Mechanic & Co., at
Yazoo City, Miss The motto is ITO
Hold, Possess and Occupy We need
hardly say the editorials are as pointed
as the bayonets of their authors The
Yazoo Yankee don't see any trouble in
settling the negro question. 1t says it
is the easiest matter in the world to flx
the thing all right The negroes will be
left where they are, and when labor is
needed in the South, those who raise
cotton must give the negro at least SlOo
out of the $500 be earns To the Cop
perhead plea, that negroes are put on an
equality with white men by freeing them,
the Yankee pithily replies: 1t all de-
ponds upon whether white men and
women want to associate with negroes
and marry them. 1t adds; "They might
better marry, and go into the bleaching
process Systematically than to bastardize
both races, as is now being done.
The Yankee says several negroes were
shot by the citizens of Yazoo and by
rebel. soldiers, because they left their
work, came down to Admiral Porter and
asked 10 be taken out of bondage, at the
time our gunboats were destroying the
rebel navy yard at that place. Several
Union men have also been shot in the
vicinity of Yazoo City. The Yankee in
sists that these outrages justify the fed
erals in, holding the people and property
of the city responsible for them. The
,,.s 3 ED0ats, were sufficient cause for
making of the reasonable hole bean
of ashes. The Yankee thereupon in
forms the noble and loving vagabonds u
that few more murders and little
more persecution of Union men and the
rebel city and every plantation from the
source to the mouth of the river will be
devastated
We find also the following choice
Prenticeisms in the Yankee:
Men of the Confederate persuasion
swear they don't dare anything about the
slaves anyhow. 1t is not the first time
Mississippi has repudiated her bonds. "
Why is secesh house, occupied by
Union forces, like the copy right OF a
book?
Because it is entered according to
act of Congress
Why is the city of Vicksburg like a
petition presented to Congress? Be-
cause it is respectfully submitted
What is the difference between pro-
slavery man and darkey on bale of
cotton? One is down on the niger and
the other is niger on the own.
We cannot refrain from copying the
following juicy paragraphs that our read
ers may see how simple the negro ques-
tion appears to our soldiers, and also
with what complacency they hold, pos
sess and occupy the forts, arsenals, navy
yards and other public property of the
United States, as we'll as what was once
the property of rebels:
We would call the attention of the
Wharf Master to the fact, that during the
past season, many boats have been al
lowed to land at our levee, without paw
ing the wharfage fee, as required by the
city ordinance. We would also refer the
City Marshal, to the fact that during the
past few days, many city ordinances have
been broken with impunity by entire
strangers, We have upon previous oc,
caslons called the attention of the citi-
Zens to the ineficiency of these officers,
and our patrons will remember at the
time of their election, we cautioned our
citizens against putting in office those
two notorious abolitionists We are now
suffering the result of such step.
Those of our citizens, land they are
many who have expressed such utter
contempt for the base and cowardly
manner in which Capt Brown, late ofthe
Navy, ran on the first fire in the engage
ment at this place on the 18th inst, will
be pleased to know that the character OF
our Southern men for chivalry and bra
very has sustained no loss BY this act OF
his 1t has been discovered that he is
not Southerner but is descended!fr from
base Northern blood, which will accoun,
for his cowardice and baseness. 1t is a
sad reflection that President Davis can
find no Southern men competent to com.
mand and officer our troops, sbnt must
pick up renegade Northern men for thai
purpose. Let US hope in time our stock
mayimproye that this state of affairs NAV
be done away with. sy1--c- 5sls5s &.

friends and patrons, that owing to cir
