National Express Company.

, There is universal expression OF regret al
| the failure of the National Express Compa
| ny, which has been in existence about one
year II had but recently extended its bus
mess to this section of the country, and WAS
seemingly, meeting with good success
We have seen the cause of the failure re-
ferred to the dilatoriness of stockholders IN
paying up installments when called upon.
Aud much stress is sometimes laid upon the
unfair competition and prosecutions of the
other company, (Adams); but, while both
causes may have contributed something, in
our opinion, the main cause is TO be found
in incompetoncy. Since the surrender,
there has been u commendablc wish, on the
part of the public, to see our Confederate
soldiers and officers, who have been impov-
erished by the war, and thrown out of em-
plOyment at its close, get into place and
position in the business affairs of life. They
have been preferred class, and III gratitude
for their sacrifices, II was right that they
should he But correct idea has been
badly carried ont in practice. Where there
was u place TO he filed officers and soldiers
have been thrust into them with little re-
gard to their fitness for the particular posi-
ton. II has been done as ifthe end to be
reached were to secure place for Confed-
crate soldier which would yield u support,
rather than the success of the business To
this reckless haste TO secure positions ON the
part of the applicants, and to push fayOrites
into place on the part of the management,
we suspect, is mainly attributable the fail
ure Of the National Express 1t was General
This Col That, Major The Other, and Capt.
Somebody, mostly without any previous
business training, attempting TO manage a
vast, intricate aud mmitied business con-
Germ, demanding the first order OF business
talent and qualification. We have heard
some of the agents in this department, who
were doubtlessly COnscientiously dis
charging their duty to the hest of their
ability, honestly coniessng to their incom-
potency and deploringi it. Aud now we have
the result, which need surprise nobody, in
the failure of the enterprise.
We have referred to this so particularly
because we thought we found moral in IL
TO profit by. Soldiers should have the
preference in allotting positions bat only
the places they are fitted for. One journal
we noticed deplored the failure Of the Ex-
press Company because great many needy
persons Were thrown out of employment. If
all these persons thus thrown out of en-
ployment had gone TO some business suited
to their capacity, however humble, how
much better IL had been for thep As il is.
the most of them have been really harmed
by taking employment at an unreasonable
time. For the best for the soldier, give the
soldier the preference in that he is fitted
for. II he asks only for labor, give him la
Dor and fair wages and many of our brave
soldiers had better, perhaps, to mend their
fortunes, begin where some who aspire to
higher positions than they have capacity 60
i'll, will have to end-Meridian Messenger

The CRoPs, The summer has clos.
ed, and we are grieved to say that the
prospect before our farmers is even
more gloomy than at the close OF
spring. A protracted drouth at crit
zeal period, more damaging in its eff
fleets in consequence of the heavy
rains in the spring, seriously injured
the corn crop, portions of it proving a
total failnre-nOt making nubbins
enough to replace the seed that was
planted The rains which then set in,
and which we hailed with so much joy
on their first advent proved almost as
detrimental as the drouth. Cotton
shed its squares, blooms, and young
bolls; that which was planted on
branch bottoms was overlooked and,
in many cases washed up, and m.ny
fully matured hollis have rotted. Corn
in many places was blown down by
the winds which accompanied the
rains, and has rOtted or sprouted.-
Peas, also, have been damaged, and
we think the crop is seriously injured
