Saiag in Mississippi.

A gentleman from Marshall county
Miss, brings most unwelcome con
frmation OF the intelligence, pub
iShod in the Argus last week, that
the people of Mississippi have hecu
seized with a suicidal mania for suing
each other for debt. which, il persist
ed in to The bitter end, cannot bat
result disastroUSly to the welfare o,
the State. He says that the liscase'
has assumed a most virJtlGlt and
fatal form in his county, and as far
as he could hear from, was spread
Ing Ike Wiid-ire through the whole
State.
This is almost as bad news, as that
would be were we 10 hear that the
Radicals had tliunpNed over the
President. We have already point
ed out the evils that must Of neces-
sity, follow upon the steps of SO fatal
a policy; and We have now oaly to
say chat we hope Tie people Of Mis-
siSsippi viii yet pause i'll the fatal
course upon which thcy have entered;
reconsider their action and com
bine, i'll the spirit which prompted
the enactment OF the late Stay Law,
to pat q stop to all present coercion
in the collection Of debts. They
must do this, or the prosperity Of the

denption.-NeHtphiS Argus.
The righteousness Of creditors III
our state, says the Jackson STANDARD,
is damaging its reputation about as
much as the regulators did. The
Argus is right. The disease is fear

seeds are sown by a class of men
who are wholly ilnrervious to the
pleas of distress. They are so pnr-
blind that obey can't see that their
own material interests would be pro-
noted Ivy a little leniency at this
time. Their little souls seems to be
altogether absorbed in the effort to
wrench their "pound OF flesh " from
the hard pressed debtor. These are
the men who strenuously objected to
the passage of the Stay Law upon
the ground that creditors would not

The Canton Female Institute.

imbroglio between the principal OF

crate soldiers then stationed here.

which is(O "consummation de-

dim and distant future, it is to be
hoped, it would be a most graceful
and praiseworthy act, if the Trus-
tees, acting upon the pacific senti-

to resume his position as Principal
of Che Institute. This course, we are
sure, would meet with the almost
unanimous commentator of this

concerned would thereby be promot-

Mr.....
SIR: An Association has been organ.
lied at this place, for the purpose Of col
lecling all reIinble Information concern
ing the growin5 Cotton Crop. Believing
the Object is one Of most vital import
ance, we earnestly recommend it to
your serious consideration, and ask that
you will not only answer the annexed
questions, but insist on your neighbors
doing SO, and use your influence and
best exertons to effect assimlar organi.
cation in your county.
1t is our wish hat every County in the
Stale will form such Associations, auxiIia-
~ to this, and make their reports to me
as often as practicable, which will be con-
densed for publication in The New Orleans
and other Southern papers.
If all will act promptly. we will be
able, as the season advances, to collect
and publish to The world the most reIis
Bile information, which will efItcluslly
counteract the many false statements, so
industriously and widely circulated, to
the great prejudice, not only of the cot
ton planting, but every Southern in
terest
Very Respectfully,

OF Central Cotton Growing Assocla~
