PROCLAMATION /!
The RAYMOND GAZETTE. estim

The RAYMOND GAZETTE.-Our estim-
able friend Harper, the clever, enter
prising and talented editor of this
sprightly and interesting journal, de
votes nearly column of his last issue
to the Clarion, in which small amount
of . sarkasm and good deal of bad
temper is displayed-all induced by
our recent challenge to compare fig
urcs as to the circulation of our re-
spective papers in Kinds county. If
the Gazette supposes that we are " en-
vious" of its well-merited prosperity,
it is very greatly mistaken but VIC
suggest that when any journal keeps
at its mast head a declaration that it
has the largest circulation, it should
be ready to prove the same, or haul
down its pretensions. We notice that
the Gazette has very gracefully
adopted the latter course. We are
not in the habit of Boosting Of our
circulation, large and rapidly increas-
ing as it is, but as a matter Of business
we deem it no improperly when occa-
sion justifies, to assert claim that we
arc able to establish. We assure Har-
per that his little Gazette" is not in
our way; that we have no desire to
< swallow " him; and that we have
still good opinion of the Gazette, il
it does fly off the handle occasionally.

Since the failure of the Confederate
cause, not few may be found who are
ready and even eager to deny any con
nection with it; and doubtless many
who voted for secession are now of
the opinion that the least said on that
point the better. We think so too; but
at the same time we are willing to adj
nit that we urged and voted for the
q accursed doctrine and that with the
same lights before us, we would do so
again. The experience of the last five
years has taught us a lesson we will
not soon forget, and it requires not
the admonitions of the Raymond Ga
zette to remind US that we were at one
time zealously in favor of " shivering
the Union to atoms" We trust that
Harper, and other " original Union
men" who didn't help the Confeder-
ate cause much, will try to be a little
more generous toward those who were
on the losing side. The following ex-
tracts from the last number of the Ga
zette induces these remarks. They
are not very creditable to the author,
and he is welcome to all the capital
and Radical favor they so justly de
I serve:
In times past, when the Clarion was
the furious leader Of the furious .Seces-
sion party of Mississippi, it could
crowd from the ring, in East Mississip-
pi, all opposition The same game
can scarcely be successfully played, at
this day, however, on this side of the
Pearl; although it must be confessed
that it has been quite successful thus
far. We
have been around here for a quarter OF
century. While the Clarion was
urging the people of East Mississippi
to shiyer the Union to atoms, and up
on its ruins erect the grandest Gov
eminent the world ever saw, we were
here advising cOnciliatory, conser
vatiye course, in the Union, under the
flag, in order to avoid the untold woes
which would surely ensue from diff
ferent course"
When our present contract for pub
fishing the laws of the United States
is complied with, we shall stand aside
for the Gazette, and will cheerfully
transfer to it all the honoSs and emol
uments pertaining to the job. Doubt
less if Mr.. Seward had heard Of thC
steadfastIdevotion of the Gazette t.

have selected as the ''official journal

How to Regain Southern Prosperity,

a Georgia paper-the Columbus
Enquirer-gives the men of the South
some wise counsel. 1t says
Hon John Forsythe, writing from
New \ DIRK to his paper, the Mobile
Register, says ola portion of South
ern Pennsylvania over which he has
recently travelled:
The wealth of this country cannot
be Justly measured by its population.
The Improvements in machinery, eS-
pecially as applied to agriculture, al
most dispensec with human hands and
the sweat of the brow. They plough,
SOW, and reap with machines, and
man only occupation is to superintend
them. Hence, you ride over a country
dotted with farms, in high state of
culture and grooming under crops, and
are surprised at the lack of laborers,
and wonder who does all this work
Capital and science have supplied the
places of our large gangs of negroes,
and the work goes on as if by magic
Thus Pennsylvania with her three
Millions of population, enjoys produc-
tons equal to the labor of six millions.
The same process would make the
South a garden of fruitfulness, the
abode of a great population, and the
seat of power,
LET US take lessons from our
neighbors, and find compensation for
the sudden destruction of our vast la
Dor system. We have all that Penn
sylvania has, in coal, iron and water
power, without her harsh winter eli.
mate. We have products impossible
to her soil. The acdr has hewn a path
rag for southern energies IN neV direc-
ton. Letus follow it, encourage men
Of labor and skill to settle among
us, capital to export our latent resour-
ees, and train and eleg0te tie negro to be

closing the gap in material civilization,

have for so long kept wideI open be
tween us. BY this path, too, men of
the South, we are to recover the politi-
cal power to make our rights respect

FRANrz A BOARD OF POLICEMAN
We find the following in the Brandon

Board of Police, or Congress of Ran
kin county, on Monday last, but we
will not refuse to speak to our Jackson
and Vicksburg brethren on that ac-
count Poor relations, however, must
keep at respectable distance. p"
The following from an editorial in
the Republican of the same date, we
suppose, explains the above:

tally incompetent, because competent
men VIII not accept these positions

INTERRUPTION OF GERMAN MIGRATION.
The New York Commercial Advert
ser is of the opinion that the political
changes effected in Germany by the
recent war will exercise an important
influence on the future tide of immi-
grafton from that country The ex-
clusion of Austria from the. direction
of German affairs, and extension of
the dominions of Prussia, it supposes
to be in accordance with the political
aspirations of the German people and
as the large volume of German immi-
grafton to our shores was induced by
the misgovernment of the ruling
classes which is now removed, the
German masses viii be content with
the new. order of things, and cease to
seek freedom and an opportunity to
secure an advantageous sphere for the
exertion of their talents in this land
of enterprise and liberty.

THE WAY THEY ARE RECEIVED
The rowing electioneering Committee
Of the Black and Tan Convention are
coldly received by discreet Radicals
at the North. Two of the New \ DIRK
Radical organs have spoken on the
subject.
The Commercial, speaking of the
visit of Brownlow 81 Co. to New Y ork,
says.
The cause they represent has
need of advocacy, but it needs to be
presented in a calmer and less i'm
passioned spirit 1t has too many
friends among the people to require
the bitter denunciation and the brutal
threats with which Philadelphia was
greeted during last week"
The Post, too, gives these gentle
men the cold shoulder, thus:
"These gentlemen, in our belief,
put themselves greatly in the wrong,
and destroyed their own future intlu-
ence and usefulness in their own
States, by giving their approval in
Philadelphia to the policy of keeping
the Southern States out of Congress.
Nor did they, to our surprise and dis
appointment, take any measures for Il
meeting of National Republican Con
vention in any of the Southern cities.
They seem to prefer to argue their
case in the Northern States rs, before
the Revolution, the American colo
nists went to England to plead their
cause. While we regard loyalty to
the Union, especially in men who re
sided in the Southern States during
the war, as a great and shining merit,
which deserves and ought to receive
the recognition of Northern men, we
do not think this required us to APP
prove blindly of any policy which
these gentlemen may advocate
