HON. ROBERT LOWRY.

In the report of the Senate proceed
ings during the present week, IN the
crowded state OF our columns we were
compelled 10 abbreviate many reports
and resolutions that should have been
given in full For this reason In justice
to Gen. Lowry we republish the preamble
and resolutions offered by him lew days
since in the Senate and which did not
appear in full in our report of the next
dav. Gen. L. is one of the most attentive,
as he is one of the ablest members OF the
Legislature, and while he represents
Rankin and Smith the district can have
no more efficient Senator. Although
still a young man, he has been elected
twice to the Senate by the same con
stituents, and we feel confident that he
would have as little to fear from another
election, as any man in the body OF which
he is a membef The preamble FULLY
exnlains the reason why the resolution
was offered:
Mr. Lowry offered the following pream
BILE and resolution: ~,
Whereas pending the vote on the Dill
entitled, an act 10 confer clvll rlsntS oH
freedmen, free negroes and mulattoes
An amendment in the following Word:
was offered to wit: Provided that moth
ing in 4th s. ction contained, shall be helc
or construed to give any further or great
or privileges to freedmen; free negroes OF
mulattops. than are now enjoyed by lhe
white citizsns of this State. and
Whereas the ayes and nays were cal
led upon said amendment, and whereas
another amendment was offered propo
sing to refer the matter to the people
the next general election, or any electlor
for members Of this body, that the Gov
ernor might deem necessary to order
and proposing that each and every oeha
tor pledge himself to resign at the exp
ration of this session, and whereas, IN
object of said amendments being to ii
the responsibility, and that having bee
done by the passage of the bill and rel
erence to the people being desired by tn
supporters of the amendment, therefor
Be il resolved, That we each and ever
Senator hereby pledge ourselves to reslg
at the expiration OF this session with u
view OF getting the vertsict OF the peop
upon our present legislation.
On motion Of Mr. Smith, said preamh
and resolution was laid on the table.

VAST STEEL MANUFACToRY. The estab>
lishment of F. Krupp, of Essen, is well
known as the largest manufactory In Eue
rope, and it may be said in the world,
Notwithstanding the magnitude OF the
Sheffield Establishment. The extent of
the works is 301 acres, and the length of
the railways for interior communication,
about twelve and half English miles, on
which four locomotives and one hundred
and fifty wagons are in constant use. The
buildings cover an area of 46 acres. There
is gas work, and bakery, and cooking
establishments for the unmarried men,
In 1864 in the steel works, exclusive of
the colieries and blast furnaces, which are
situated in Tayn, there were 5000 work
men. In the same year there were in op-
Grafton $50 smelling heating and pudding
furnaces, l36 steam engines, from to
900 horse power, 81 steam hammers,
! from ton to $50 tons, l10 smithies, sos
turning and other machines. The produc>
ton of 1864 was q 900 tons of cast steel,
in guns, axes, tyes, springs rails, boiler
plates, rollers, etc. The productions are
| sent to every quarter, but chiefly to Eng
| land, Germany, France, Russia, United
| States and India
In May, 1865, the establishment en-
ploved 5000 workmen, and the produc
ton has increased SO enormously that it
will be over $4,000 tons for the year. Ac-
cording to the London Star, arrangements
which have been for some time in pro-
gress for the organization in England for
a great steel work in Syria to supply the
| Austrian empire, are now in course of
completion and from the success of Mr..
/ Krupp's establishment in Prussia, there
can be little doubt that in Austria, where
the very best iron in the world for steel
making can be obtained, a similar under
taking would be successful and very
profitable.

nA~ Esposetto and the International
Saloon are again before the public, and
they should be. Why SO, do you ask !?
Because there are no better liquors to be
found in jackson than at the bar of this
Justly celebrated saloon. Its exterior is
not so inviting as many others, neither is
the oyster, but who does not love the de-
licious bivalve enclosed. Then there is
no one who understands getting up a
cocktail like Espcseto. We will chal-
lenge the world that he cannot be beat.
If you doubt it go and try one and you
will be convinced.

Mr.. EDlroR:-Permlt me through the
columns of your Journal, to disabuse the
public mind, as regards the Theatrical
Troupe now performing in our city, under
the management Of Mr.. Cummings. 1t
is generally believed that this company is
composed of parties who were not, nor
are not identified with the interests of
the Southern people; but allow m to
correct this error. by stating that the
manager of the Troupe has given four
wears of service in behalf of the rights OF
the South; and further, let me state that
the company is in its infancy; but chaste
in its character. The performances here
after, will be given in the City Hall,
through invitation OF our we'll kn own,
and appreciated Apollo Troupe.
Yours truly,
