THE MISSISSIPPI SEsAToRs.-We have
been informed, by telegraph, that the Hon.
William L. Sharkey and Gen. James L. AL
corn have been elected United States Sen
ators by the Legislature now in session at
Jackson. We presume Judge Sharkey was
elected by reclamation, and it was stated
that Gen. Alcorn was chosen on the fifth
ballot.
Those elections were cminently fit to be
made-bctter men could hardly have been
elected under any circumstances. Of Judge
Sharkey it is almost unnecessary to speak.
He enjoyed high national reputation years
before the war broke out. Great in his
soul, great in intellect, pure in heart, with
mind SO admirably balanced that no
emergency can swcrve it from its steady
purpose, full of the garnered riches which
years of experience have accumulated, con-
sentative, patriotic and moderate, and pos
sessing the entire confidence of the people
lie represents, he will appear at the bar Of
the Senate and claim his seat in the highest
deliberative body of the Nation. Will his
claim be refused ? We think not.
Gen. Acorn, although not so old or able
as the Judge, is worthy coadjutor. He is
man of ability, has had much experience
in legislation, has always enjoyed the con-
idonoe Of all who knew him, and will cred
itably fill the position to which he has been
chosen.
Thus far Mississippi has performed her
part admirably; and if all the States do as
we'll, the South will have an exceedingly
able delegation in Congress.-7rus Delta

ES~The editor of the Paris Press, writ
ing from Tarrant, Hopkins County, under
date of the 26th ult., in speaking of the
District Court at that place says;
The calling Of the civil docket was COM
menced on Tuesday, and | could not help
rcmarking the great number Of cases the
parties TO which have passed away since the
commencement of the late war; in some
cases. both plaintiff and defendant have
been called TO answer at another bar and in
n higher court In at least one fourth of
the cases pending at the commencement of
the war, it was necessary to note the death
Of one of the parties. In two out Of four
suits fordivorce the plaintiff has obtained a
decree in court from whose decision there
is no appeal. 10 the thoughtful mind the
calling of the docket suggested many sad
reflections. OF those present four years
ago at the fall term, the Judge presiding
one fourth of the suitors, and doubtless an
equal number Of the witnesses and jurors,
have passed away. The petty quarrels and
disputes Of life are soon settled, and the
record forgotten by the survivors.

Be2" We arc pleased TO learn that an effort
is being made, with good prospect of sue
cess, 10 raise money for the purpose OF
building Cumberland Presbyterian Church
in this place. Within few days past, as
we are informed about $1,000 have been
subscribed for this purpose; lot has been
purchased in the Northern part of the town,
and the prospects are favorable for the
early letting of contract for the erection
of the building. At a meeting n few eve
nings since, building committee was APP
pointed, consisting of Elder s. NJ. wilkins,
Col. J. C. Mccoy, I. j.. Sherwood, John j.

This Committee was instructed 10 solicit
subscriptions for the above object, and they
will be pleased 10 receive the names Of all
persons who are disposed TO lend assistance

We hope soon to hear that the necessary
funds have been obtained and the good
work commenced.

PRINTERS INK,-ADvERTIsE.-As an evil
dence of the value of free use of the ad-
vertising columns of tho newspaper, we
will instance the case Of Mr.. James Burke,
of Houston. In March, 1861 he lost near
ly all his stock by fire, The whole amount
saved would not have amounted to five
hundred dollars, on this he commenced
again-adding all his gaines Ito his stock,
and, now has the largest stock of Books
and Stationery in any house in Texas, and
some say as large as any in New Orleans.
lie attributes the greater part of his sue
cess to advertising. lie advises those who
wish to recover from fire, or to succeed in
any Legitimate business to advertise, and
that freely. Printers Ink has made the
fortune of thousands We conceive the adj
vice to be cmincntly good, and hope our
readers will come to the same wise conclu-
sion.
