Southern vs. NoRTHERN jour
NAILS Under this head the National
Star enters its protest at large against
the Southern patronage of the North
ern publications which continue to
make vituperation Of the South their
staple matter, specifying among them
the New York Ledger, Harper's Week
", Frank Leslie's Illustrated, "and
others Of q kindred ilk." What is
an elk 2? We have said little on
this subject, chiefly because we have
found little practical fruit resulting
from our humble efforts in that re
spect in former times. At present,
however, we would remark that the
people seem to feel more and to more
purpose on this subject than they have
heretofore done. The publications
named have not recovered their for
mer Southern circulation, nor are they
likely to. Especially is this the case
with those of the Harpers, who from
the commencement Of hostilities, took
the lead in vulgar, disgusting abuse
ofthe people by whose support they
had prospered, and who still continue
the same course. Harper's Weekly
and Monthly hardly sell now. The
newsboys have found that their in
vestments in these articles are not re
munerative, and are dropping them
Indeed, the Southern people recoi
instinctively from everything which
bears the Harper's imprint, ant
school-books from that house are nov
almost everywhere rejected.

A most disgraceful affair occurred
yesterday evening, on Washington
street, about 7 o'clock. A policeman
arrested two negroes, supposed to be
discharged soldiers, for being drunk
and disorderly, whereupon a crowd of
negro soldiers and civilians attempted
a rescue, but owing to the prompt and
efficient manner i'll which policeman
Albert Davis discharged his duty, the
incipient rebellion was quelled. The
most abusive and indecent language
was used by the negroes, and they
manifested every disposition to create
riot, but were awed by the determin-
ed bearing of the whites, who were
present, and the cleaning barrels of
several Colts improved. -Vicksburg

LITTLE MAUD.
BY MRS. VIRGINIA FRANTz

A rosebud bathed in p-arly dew
pure white lily snowy fair,
Sweet, little. darling Maud. with you
In loneliness, cannot compare
Thy beauty's like glowing star,
Gentle, yet brilliant is its CLEAN
Thy baby laughter sweeter far
Than morning bird or silv'ry stream.
Thine eyes are neither black nor blue,
Nor brown, yet always sparkling bright
IL matters not what shade or hue,
So they are full of love and light.
May times cold shadows lightly roll,
Sweet Maud across thy fair young brow
And holy angels guard thy soul.
And keep 1t pure and fresh as now.
Thou art little gem of love,
Within thy mothers heart to shine
Art thou a being Fl ON above
Thy gentle spirit seems divine.
In vain we gaze upon thy brow,
And strive thy future lot to find
A sweet unwritten song art thou,
Unknown only in Jehovah's mind.
l would not ask that every joy
And not touch of care be thine
For oft through sorrows dark alloy
Religions brightest jewels shine.
But sweet Maud, I'd wish for thee
A heart to bear both good and i'll
And may your dearest pleasures be
Whatever is the Saviour's will.
May you in beauty ever grow,
Of heart and mind well as face
Nor sins dark image ever show,
Upon thy brow one hideOus trace.
Sweet Maud so like an angel fair
May you in holy things delight,
So death will only wait you where
Your beauteOus soul will be more bright

and France, besides sailing vessels to
all parts of Europe, South America,
&c. New Orleans will offer superior
advantages next fall to the country
trade of the South.
The Methodist General Conference
of the whole South is still in session
in this city. It's composed of a very
dignified and talented body of men.
There have been quite number of in
teresting discussions in the Confer
ence, and among these was that upon
the application of the Northern Gene
raj Conference, now in session In
Brooklyn, New York, to join in prayer
together. The Northern branch of
the denomination has also extended
an invitation to their Southern breth-
rem to return to them. They would
not treat them right before, and yet
they'want them again in the same fold.
1t is not believed the Southern church
es will return.
Cotton is fiat and will again decline
from all appearances. The great
quantity constantly coming in, the
political troubles in Europe, and the
fact that England has a large amount
on hand, will prevent any advance of
consequence in the staple.
Among the events Of the week
nothing interests your readers in cen
trail and northeast Mississippi more
than the election of Directors of the
n. O. j. & G. n Railroad, which took
place last Monday. A first rate Board
was elected for Louisiana and the
same for Mississippi. Taken altogether
the Board is one of the best that has
been elected; and tho best of all. they
are all pledged eXtensionists. The
Board for Mississippi were selected
with an eye to their efficiency and the
influence which they could exercise in
securing more subscriptions and other
wise advancing the interests of the
company in the counties where the
road is to pass above Canton, 1t was
considered that the road below Canton
being built and all the energies of the
Company to be directed to the extern
sion of the road after putting the
present road in good order and making
arrangements to meet its most press
inc liabilities, the Board of Mississip
pi should be principally from tn,
counties above Canton. They are il
justice entitled to it, too, by the i'm
mense preponderance of their privat,
subscriptions, but the lower counties
are not unrepresented, for among the
Directors representing the city | fine
the names of Gen. Writ Adams 0
jackson, j. J. Warren, Esq, of Brook
haven and Messrs Williamson, Smith
and r. w. Ogden, who are nearly a
much identified with Mississippi a
with Louisiana Gen. Beauregard ha
been elected President and will sool
put an Engineer at work on the roaC
between Canton and Kosciusko.
Yours truly,

AZ We copy from the Cincinnati

EF We copy from the Cincinnati
Commercial an article on prescription,
couched in the form of structures on
the Memphis Avalanche. 1t is the
old story Of the wolf and the lamb
the prescription is running up stream.
"If prescription is to be the order of
the day, they know exactly where to
begin and whom to prescribe" From
what we have learned of the facts we
are able to give our unqualified assent
to this proposition, with which the
Commercial concludes its article
They-the Union" men of Memphis
have shown their talents in this way
already, for whatever we may think of
the policy of the Avalanche jour
nal perhaps not over charged with the
"better part Of valor'-it is certain
that the Radicals commenced the work
of prescription. They desire the ex-
clusion of large class of persons
from the ballot, and they es-
tabhshed a paper to advocate
this un-republican policy, to
break down the Memphis jour
nails and to ventilate their notions of
negro equality. 1t is notorious that
the Memphis Post was got up by a
Joint stock company of Memphis Rad
icals, and among them, we hear, are
Walcott, Smith u Co., as well as
Katzenbach, who was alluded to in
another article in the Avalanche.
Hero is whore the prescription began,
unless the Commercial considers the
franchise nothing, social distinctions
nothing, domestic security nothing,
and the diversion of few greenbacks
from one mans Golfers into those of
his neighbors everything Yet even
here, the same war upon the business
interests of the Radicals, of which the
Avalanche is accused, was actually in
augurated by them upon the business
interests Of Memphis publishers.
Even while we write, rumors are
reaching us Of events at Memphis
growing out of the brutal disposition
of the worst class of the negroes, a
disposition fostered, encouraged and
stimulated by the teachings of the
radical press. The Commercial ex-
poets too much of the South, if it re-
quires that they should submit with
meekness to the Vaccinations of such
men. 1t would be very heroic, and
christian-lille, we admit; but a large
proportion of our heroes and chris
tians were killed off in the war, and
we only claim for the remnant of oul
people an average amount of human
virtue, and scarcely any of the super
human
