A Note from Hon. e. BarksdaIe.
RANKIN Co, MAY &c, '66.

nANh4N W. NAtll SO5 W.
Editor Of the Clarion and Standard:
In your paper of the 23d inst, is
unfinished a communication stating
1---s sne remains Of the late Gen. Viii
liam Barksdale are deposited in Wash
ington City, awaiting the order of his
friends, and suggesting that they be
conveyed by them to Mississippi for
burial among the people whose hon
or and welfare were dearer to him than
the life he gave up on the field of Get
tysburg
Profoundly affected by these and
similar expressions for the memory of
the lamented deceased, which appear
ed in yours and other journals, and
grateful for the kind spirit which
prompts them, / am nevertheless
compelled to ask the privilege of your
columns to mention, what was doubt
less not known to your correspond
ent, that it is the intention of his near
est kindred to remove his body, at an
early day, for consignment to it's final
resting place at some appropriate spot
within the limits of his own State,
without taxing the generosity of 9th
ers.
/ am respectfully yours,
E. BARKsDALE.

The Boards of Police of Mississippi.


Some time since we alluded to the
fact that out of sixty counties the
Boards of Police of but seven had
made a report to the Auditor of the
number of INDECENT soldiers and their
families who really needed relief
Since then the number has increased
to twenty. The Legislature adjourned
on the 9th or 9th December. Imme-
diately after the adjournment the Gov
ernor caused circular letter to be adj
dressed and forwarded to the Presi-
dent of the Board of Police IN each
county, info~.-:-s them that the Legis-
lature had made an appropriation of
20 per cent. of the taxes for the bene-
fit of the INDECENT soldiers and their
families. He then issued proclama-
ton which was published in this paper
and extensively copied in the State, to
the same effect; and warning them
that the time in which they ought to
make their report expired on the goth
May. Five months since the passage
of the act have rolled away, and but
to0enty counties have reported that they
had any INDECENT soldiers needing the
aid. The legitimate deduction to be
derived from this is, that only twenty
counties need the profered aid, or the
Boards Of Police are very derelict in
their duties Let those who have
heard of the generous appropriation
of our Legislature, and who have ex-
pected to receive its benefits know
where the responsibility rests 1t
would be unfair, manifestly so, to dis
tribute the 100000 to the twenty
counties who have made their report.
Yet, shall those who have stated how
much aid they require be forced to
await the tardy action of more ungen-
erous, more forgetful, and more care
less Boards of Police of the other
counties ? If they hare been notified
CT the Legislatures action, they have
acted criminally in this matter by the
little attention they have paid to it
If they have not heard of it, let them
either take this journal, or some
other paper, or resign their places to
men who read the papers and who
know what is going on in the world
We hope that the press will again call
the attention of the people to this mat
ter, and make the laggard Boards, ''un.
der the lash and spur of public opin-
ion," do their duty in this case. We
are authorized to state that for a reas-
enable time the funds will be retained
to give all delinquent Boards an oppor-
tunity to report; but we doubt, if, af
ter this, any more warnings will be
given, or the time extended.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH.
ERIN RAILROADS.

This is a question of vital impor-
lance to the people of the South. It
presents wide field for the investment
of capital, and is one of the most fruit
full means for developing the resources
Of the Southern States, and building
up their cities. Take map and look
at the railroad lines in the Gulf States.
Commence at Texas and go East by
the Vicksburg and Shreveport Rail
road to vicksburg. Produce of all
kinds coming down the Mississippi
river can be landed at Vicksburg and
transported by one continuous line of
railroad, without any change,to Texas.
In this there is but one point Of trans
fer and re-shipment, that at Vicksburg,
for all articles of merchandise for
Texas. There is, then, but one com
mission to pay for receiving and for
warding freight after it leaves the first
shippers hands, at st. Louis, Louisville,
Cairo or Cincinnati. All produce for
Alabama, coming down the Mississip-
pi river, can be again shipped from
Vicksburg and carried by cars without
any change, to any point as far east
as Selma, and, in the course of a
Year or so-~ to Montgomery, -
From Montg emery, through freight
cars will be run to Atlanta and Augusta
and but one change will take place
between Savannah, Ga, and Mont
gomery, Ala. 1t is contemplated to
place line of steamships of frst-class
carrying capacity and accommodation,
between New York and Savannah, and
run fast freight trains between Savan-
nah and Montgomery. A merchant,
then, who purchases his goods in New
York, can ship them to Savannah, Ga,
by steamship line, and in two or three
days thereafter have them on the
Mississippi river, and from thence into
the heart of Texas, in the time it now
takes to transport them from n. York
to New Orleans Independent of the
time gained, when this new arrange
ment goes into effect, the goods will
pass through the hands of fewer com
mission merchants, and the expenses
will be materially less. The price is
always dependent, more or less, upOr
these expenses, and as they decrease
| goods will also fall in price.
1t would take more space than VT
can allow for that purpose, to discus:
the question in all it's various phases
1t was only our intention to hint at thu
revolution that will be made in a few
months in the transportation Of good
from the North to the South. BY thi
new order Of things, Mississippi will
be vastly benefited, and Vicksbur!
will become a point of vast importanc
to her Saw mills will spring up il
her vast pine forests, and her waite
courses will be lined with factories ant
mechanical works of all kinds, tina
will develop her resources and kee
within her own limits that wealt
which have heretofore helped so niue
to enrich the parvenues of New Eng
| land

Heavy Specie Shipments from N. York

WASHINGTON, May 27.-In the House
sesterday, the tax bill being under con-
federation, Mr.. Stevens offered an
amendment taking from the Secretary
of the Treasury the appointment of
Special Commissioner of the Revenue.
and providing that the latter officer
shall be elected by Congress. Mr..
Stevens remarked that he offered the
amendment because the Secretary said
he would appoint to Office only those
who supported the President 1t was
time, Mr.. Stevens said, to build a wall
to protect those who support us; the
Secretary was the recreant tool of a re-
creant President
Mr. Hale, republican, reproved Mr..
Stevens, and showed that Congress
has no such power of appointing.
Mr.. Delano defended the Secretary
who was not slave and thus pre-
vented from speaking his sentiments
dare he not have an opinion of his
own? Must we square our opinions
by regular line at the dictation ofin
dividuals? Just such acts as those of
Mr.. Stevens, were creating very bad
sentiment throughout the country.
Mr.. Stevens thus discounted, with
drew the amendment, promising to re-
new it Monday.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The State
Department has received information
that the Brazilian Government has re-
solved to open the coastwise trade to
ships of other nations.
New YoRK-The Steamer CITY of
Boston has arrived from Liverpool
with dates to the 18th.
In both houses of the British Par
lament the bombardment of Valpa-
raise has been received in terms of
indignation, but the neutral attitude of
the British Admiral was defended and
fully endorsed by Government.
The English press and people loud
ly denounced the act of Spain. An
indignation meeting at Liverpool
adopted strong resolutions of protest.
also resolutions expressing gratitude
for the exertions of Commodore Ro-
gers, of the United States Navy.
The Continental situation was un-
changed. The military attitude of the
various powers was very threatening.
1t was reported that Bismarck had
received warnings of imminent assassi-
nation. 1 sItse As4ls
tits stated that Austria in a few
weeks will have nine hundred thousand
men in the field. Large bodies of
troops sent from Vienna had already
effected a strategic concentration on
the Prussian frontiers.

EDITOR CLARION AND STANDARD :

added before he was compelled to
leave his nest, he will now no doubt
hatch something that win do credit to

templates reforms that have long

same mission, also received his par
don, and is once again at his post as

The news of the death of Elk Cover
nor Allen has cast a gloom over the
city during several days just past.
He had strong hold on the affections
of this people. 1t was so deep seated
it appeared not on the surface. Many
tear has been shed in secret over his
untimely departure, for many were
anxiously awaiting the hour when he
could again return to his adopted
State.

A new reform is proposed in Eng
land. The Bankruptcy bill now pend
ing in Parliament provide for the abo-
lition of Imprisonment for debt. The
London Times says:
This change. at first desired on
the ground of humanity, may now be
defended on the simplest principles OF
common sense. fit were cruel to put
a man in prison to lie there forever, it
is absurd to put him there only for the
purpose of taking him out again, and
that at the public expense. With i'm
prisonment for debt falls, as we appre-
bend, almost the whole jurisdiction of
insolvency as opposed to bankruptcy.
A vast amount of time and trouble
hitherto expended in getting debtors
who has no means of payment released
from arrest, will be swept away, and
persons win no longer obtain credit
on the strength of the chance that
some compassionate relative will re-
lease them from imprisonment. 1t is
impossible to speak too highly of this
change, whether viewed with refer
ence TO the principles Of political
economy, Of law, or of morality.

The CRESCENT MONTHLY. - This
Southern periodical published in N. Or
leans by Mr.. VIM. Evelyn, the second
number of which has reached us, prom
ises to supply a real want long and
keenly felt in the South. Heretofore
enterprises ofthis sort have anguish
ed, chiefly from lack of material sup
port. We regard the Crescent Monthly
as far superior to most of the maya
zines in the North. There is a sub
stantiality and freedom from trashi-
ness about it which distinguishes it
from many ofits Northern cotempories.
With proper encouragement-an en-
couragement which Southern pride
ought to evoke-we doubt not the
Crescent will attain high standard in
literature. We bespeak for it liberal
patronage.

succeed unless we take off internal
charges as well as imposts, and dear

are among the worst of them.
Perhaps l would do well to mind my

S Gen. W. W. W. Wood, in a
card published in the Natchez Courier,
says he has never given up his inten-
ton to remove to Brazil, or that he
has ceased to advise persons to go
there. Natchez, he intimates, is his
residence only until he is able to re-
move to the country he proposes to
adopt as bis future home. Gen. W.
says this in reply to some "carpers"
among whom he enumerates the Mo

The CoTToN CROP OF 1S66.-In an
article upon this subject in our issue
of the oath, We meant to convey the
idea that the crop would not possibly
srceed 100000, and we think we
demonstrated it by facts and figures.
We do not really Jeiiege it will be over

figures that can bring the subject
home so simply and indisputably to
our Northern friends as those we
used. Tney claim it will be 100000
