MIssssIPPL-0ur accounts from Mississippi are of the
most encouraging character When the order was given
by Gea. Johnston for the retreat of the army from
jackson, number of men who we're attached to the
Mississippi regiments and eager to shed their last
drop of blood in defence Of her soil and capital tempo
rary left the ranks without leave to take las, adieu
of the loved at home who were left in the lines of
the enemy Every man who has spark of human kind
ness in his bosom, while he may not justify will appe
cate and tolerate the motives while prompted to such
violation of army regulations. We are happy to learn,
upon the most undoub;ed authority that these men are
fast returning to their places to fight and fall fneed
be, Whitheroever the fortunes of the war may carry
them.
10 this connection it is proper to add that Mssis-
pp has been made to bear than her share of the
odium Of the late alleged "desertOns" which, by the
way, have been greatly exaggerated We know wha.
say to be trus when we assert that the same mo
tves which prompted some Of the soldiers from Mssis
ppi to leave their places the retreat from Jackson
influenced Louisianians aud Arkansians also to turn
their faces homeWard with the exception of few noted
examples OfsubmissVe hacks to whom more importance
has been attached than merited, We are proud to
know that tie spirit Of the people Of that whole State is
still unbroken
BY the chances of the war majority OF her sons in
the hour OF her severest suffering the fields of
Virginia and Tennessee but the laurels which they have
will not Wther in the grasp of the Mssissippans
who are led by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.-NiSs.

Abraham Lincoln is man above the medium height.

raw boned shambe- gated, bow-legged, knock kneed
piEeou-toed, sWobsded shapeless skeleton in very

was black and shaggy, his eyes dark and 6reess like
coal crate in winter time His lips are large and
protrude beyond tho natural level of the face but
are pale and smeared with tobacco juice. His
teeth are filthy. Ia our juvenile days We were
struck with Vrgi's description Of the ferryman,
who rowed the disembodied souls of men over
the river of death. Lincoln if memory fail not
must be near kinsman Of that official Of the other
world, At all events, they look alike and, if rea.
tonship be claimed when Abraham reaches the ferry,
he will be able do not doubt, to SO free Of toll.
