business before him however, Mrs Margare'

charged with being drunk and disorderiy,
Mrs. Emerson said that she was not fond OF
drink, but her spirits were usually so low that
she was obliged to take something that would

ST. PATRIcK's DAT. The 18th of March has
been celebrated in Ireland from time imme-
mortal as the festival day OF st. Patrick, the
patron saint and tutelary genius of the Eme.
raid Isle. On this day is commemorated the
extirpation OF all creeping things by the judi
cious saint as we'll rs his constant love ana
devotion to the land of his adoption; and all
the nationalsports of love making, quarrelling
whisky drinking, and head-breaking, flourish
in riotous profuson. Who has not heard OF
Donnybrook's famous fair, and the gay Irish
man with his "sprg of shillelah and sham
rock so green"
"who goes to the tent and spends his half crown,
And meeting friend, for pure love knocks him
down.
All is Joyous, noisy, rollicking fun; and If
any one delight Is carried to excess, 1t is
rather due to overlooking animal spirits
than any deliberate intention Of harming
any living creature. Those who have
but one frolic in the whole year, make up for
previous self denial on St. Patrick's day. The
boys, tall, erect, and manly, with long stride
and roguish eye, march gaily into town, while
the dark Irish girl, with flashing eye, glorious
blue-black hair, and grace of carriage
which Duchess might we'll envy, anxiously
wait for their chosen companion. In all
countries, and i'll all chimes, Irishluen remem
Der their native land TO ii their memories
always turn, of it they always dream and if
they have particularly vulnerable point, it is
in the confident belief that the " G i'm of the
Say will be one day independent, ndhappy,
and free. Wherever an Irishman goes, he car
ries Dublin, Cork or Connaught with him /;
and under any change of fortune or position,
he is genuine Irishman still.
In this country, the. opportunities of re-
ioicing afforded by the arrival of St. Pat
ricks day are somewhat limited, but the
Irishmen amongst us do all they can and
imagine the rest. We may not have the
long professions, the gay fair, the practl-
cal Joking, the single stick practice, and the
final set.to between the Orange and Green,
but the 18th of March is neither forgotten nor
unhonored. The arrival of the festiyity this
wear has been anticipated with some alarm, as
it is reported that the Fenians will to-day
commence their threatened invasion of Can
ada Whether this be so or not, cannot be
known by the mass of the people, and few
hours, at all events, will remove all uncer.
tainty and set our hopes or fears at rest. st.

movement, and out of respect to the Saint, it
is hoped that the outbreak will be indefinites
deferred. In any case, ST. Patricks day in
the South will probably pass over in much the
same manner as usual. There will be some
little talking, great deal of drinking, plenty
of fun generally, and many an aching head on
the following morning and so long as the
festival produces no worse results than these,
we can ourselves drink the health of " Ireland
and the Irish," and wish every mothers son
of them thousand happy returns of jolly st.
Patrick day.

CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT. The NorfoiK
steamers now stop at most of the landings
on James river, which delays them from
arriving at their place of destination as soon
as usual; but the advantage derived by the
Company, as well as the accommodation and
convenience afforded to the farmers on the
river, more than counterbalances the few
hours delay, which Is made manifest by the
very large increase of passengers and freight
brought up by this line on every trip for the
last week or two. There is also considerable
increase of travelling by the Baltimore and
New York steamers.

the disease that is gradually destroy

of the Memphis Argus, assimilation

with the President until 10 o'clock. 1t is
believed this meeting was for consultation

Honor TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE
John Shelton, Esq, Of Raymond, Mis-
sissipi, publishes in the Kinds County
Gazette, a statement highly honorable
to the late Col. John J. Mudd, ID Hi
nois Cavalry, and his widow:
On the approach of the Federal army
to Raymond, Mr. Shelton secreted
some highly priced articles of jewelry
and other memorials, which, however,
were discovered by the enemy; but
Col. Mudd, finding them in the hands
of soldiers, took charge of them, and
going home on Through, having re-
ceived more than one wound, he took
them with him. When he returned to
Vicksburg he brought a portion of
them, and made such inquiries for their
restoration; but, being killed in the
Red River campaign, there seemed to
be no hope Of the remainder being re-
covered After the war, however, Mr.
Shelton having ascertained the address
of Mrs Mudd, wrote to her on the
subject, and received a prompt reply,
stating that she had been keeping the
articles for the owner, but had feared
that she would never find him. They
have now, after lapse of three years,
been all restored, except such as the
soldiers had distracted before they
were discovered Mr. Shelton says:
LAS mementoes, they are most high
" valued by my sons and myself, and
we feel under great obligations to the
brave officer and The conscientious
man who preserved them, and to his
mourning widow who has restored
them. In the future it may happen to
be our fortune to have an opportunity
to do a kindly act towards the widow
or her only child and if 50, it shall be
| at once embraced"

A Financial Crisis Imminent.

The New York correspondent of
the Richmond Examiner says the
questions of finance and trade are oc-
cuDying the attention Of the men of
the metropolis just now instead of
politics. The conviction gains ground
that this country is on the eve of very
serious embarrassment The trade Of
New y DIRK, generally speaking, is now
worse than it has been since 1857. All
branches of business feel the depres-
sion-some Of them to an extent that
threatens ruin. Importers and manu-
facturers complain of more than dull
ness, for beside being unable to tighten
their stocks, they experience difficulty
in making the usual collections.
Hence the ominious renewals Of
paper, much Of it at comparatively
long dates. Nor is this suggestive
circumstance discernible only in New
York. The same complaint is heard

increase in the amount Of six months
paper, emanating from dry goods com
mission houses, begins to excite I'M
easiness. The willingness to grant
credits running half a year has been
one of the signs of commercial reck-
lessness; and the fact that in many
cases an extension for similar period
has become necessary indicates an I'M
sound state of affairs. Enormous
stocks, expanded credit, and disap-
pointmentin regard to Southern col
lections, are premonitons of evil not
to be spoken of lightly. They tell OF
the crash that is coming, The paper
money bubble must burst some day
This National banking system, as we
see it at the North, is huge contri-
vance for fostering imitation of al
kinds. And though there can be nc
run for gold as in olden days, there
may be collapses, and then how vii
the National securities maintain theil
ground?

Thomas and Stewart, the. defeated
Radical Congressional candidates in
Baltimore, talk of contesting the cleo
ton of their successful opponents, on
the ground of fraud. They will hardly
be able to succeed.
The American of Baltimore, a Radi-
cal organ, acknowledges the election
was fairly managed. Here is what it
says:
''Of this result the Union men have
no cause to complain. The judges OF
the election were in the main men OF
their own selection, and as far as we
can hear, they performed what they
believed to be their duty in every pre-
cinct The majority is against us, and
we bow to the popular verdict, and ap-
ply ourselves again to the task OF
awakening and enlightening public
sentiment.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI,
November 13, 1866.


November 13, 1866.
EDITORS CLARION: Much has been
written within the past few months on
the subject of Teachers Convention,
and several times have been appointed
for a meeting, but hitherto some OBJ
struction has been thrown in the way,
and no meeting has been held. 1t is
highly desirable to organize such an
association in the State, and it is
probable that really nothing has thus
far been lost by the delay that has oc-
Cured. There would have been some
want preparation apparent in the
deliberations of a body assembled
from all parts of the State, without
any opportunity for previous inter
change of views. We have gained
somewhat indeed by the partial ag-
itation which has been given to the
subject by different teachers. Our at
tention has been excited. Our minds
have been set to work, and we have
thought on the matter. We are now,
in my opinion, prepared to enter upon
/ this work of organization. But still
| the poriod of the year, the engage
ments of teachers, the scarcity of
funds, and the want of -digested
plans among us, admOnish us to
:shasten slowly" Without desiring,
or designing to dictate, | beg to sug-
gest the following as a prudent meth
cd of procedure: Let preliminary
meetings of the Teachers Of different
districts of the State be held at some
central point in each district, during
the last week of December. Let these
teachers discuss topics of interest,
such as may be suggested by any
member, and after Interchange Of
views, full and frank, on all subjects
/ presented, let a programme of matters
: deemed appropriate for the action of a
General Convention, be prepared to
| I've sent up to such Convention to be
f,is.1 at some PcriUu during thU next
; Summer Vacations. We shall all then
90 to such Convention prepared to
deliberate Understandings, and with
some previous knowledge at least of
= what will come before us.
, AS a step in this direction, L will
| add, that such preliminary meeting
has already been called to take place
at the University of Mississippi on the
; 9th ofDecember, for the benefit of all
the teachers of North Mississippi. Oh
t course, all teachers will be welcome
from any part of the State, but this is
more particularly for the convenience
of North Mississippi.
1t will be not amiss to say in addi-
ton to the above, that one object Of
+ these preliminary meetings will be tc
fix the day Of the meeting of the Gen
eral Convention. Some of Us who
casually met in Jackson recently
agreed to recommend Wednesday
31st day of July 1867, as the most
l appropriate time for the assembling O
the General Conventions and Jack
son, Miss, as the place.
