THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

The Daily Clarion, published at Meridian, Miss,
says:
The Federals have been jubilant, as they had
right to be, over the opening of the Mississippi
river, and the probable resumption of its naviga-
ton by their commercial vessels. One steamboat
from St. Louis has reached New Orleans and re-
turned to the city from which it started, without
molestation of any kind that we informed Of.
Great rejoicings had in both cities In conse-
orence of this unwonted event. Guns were fired,
bells we're rung, and other exhibitions of general
ioy uproariously INDUCED in
We imagine our enemies will soon learn that
thew have made their hearts glad without occasion
and wasted their powder unnecessarily. In few
weeks we opine they will ascertain that they will
never be permitted to navigate the great river
peaceably, at least not until they acknowledge our
Independence. We are assured that measures are
on foot, having the full sanction and approval of
our government, which WILSON, for hundreds of
miles, render the Father of Waters a river Of death
to merchantmen, their crews, passengers and COM
manders. Enterprising, gallant spirits, are heart
and soul in the movement, and the Government
backs them up with all its authority and power.
Fer this hesGovernmeBt deserves and will receive
the warm thanks Of the people; andif what is
clearly practicable is carried out, and the river
closed against Yankee commercial vessels, there
will be great compensation for the disastrous losses
of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. 1t can be done,
ought to be DONE. and we believe will be done.
