The Tndtueut FamiIie, of

The INDECENT Families Of our Soldiers,
The Legislature appropriated at its last
session 90 per cent of certain taxes to the
maintenance and education of the families
and children of deceased INDECENT soldiers.
The amount was to be distributed by the
Auditor according to the official reports of
the various boards of police of the counties
Circulars have been sent to them by the Au-
ditor, and the Governor has twice notified
them, by proclamation, of this provision.
Yetathere have been but seven boards of po-
lice (of as many counties), who have made
their reports. Even here, in Kinds county,
containing the capital, no report, as requil 81,
has been received from the Board of Po-
lice. Why is this ? Are there but seven
counties in Mississippi which have INDECENT
families to provide for 2 We know this
cannot he SO. Then are these counties
all who desire to aid their poor7 We do not
believe this, either What, then, is the
reason they do not send in their reports 2
1t is their duty to do so end the citizens Of
every county ought to see that they do it.
The amount already set aside from the tax.
es, to be distributed among such poor. is
nearly 100000 The law requires the Audi
tor to have'this sum distributed by the Goth
ofMay. Up to this time, the following
counties, viz-Smith, Winston, Tippah
Kemper, Davis, Leake and Rankin have re.
ported. If the other counties really have
the interests of the deserving portion Of
their poor at heart, they will make at an
early day their report, in order that they
may procure the aid so generously donated
by the State.
Until reports are received from all the
counties, we do not see how a proper dis
tributiou can be made. 1t is unfair tc
cause suffering to continue in some counties
by the dilatory action of other counties in
forwarding their reports. We hope this
matter will be attended to Immediately

Glycerine is the sweet principle of oil,
and is extensively useffor the purposes of
the toilets but it has now received an ap-
pGcation of rather an unexpected nature.
In l947 pupil of NJ. Pelouze's, NJ. Sobrero,
discovered that glycerine, when treated
with nitric acid, was converted into high
ly explosive substance, which he called
nitro-glycerine. 1t is oily, heavier than
water, soluble in alchoho1 and ether, and
acts so powerfully on the nervous system
that a single drop placed on the tip of the
tongue will cause violent headsche, which
will last for several hours. The LIQUID
seems to have been almost forgotten by
chemists, and it is only now that NJ. Nable,
aSwedish engineer, has succeeded in ap-
plying it to very important branch of his
art-namely, blasting. From q paper ad-
dressed by him to the Academy of Sciences,
we learn that the chief advantage which
nbhis substance, composed of ne part Of gly-
cerine and three parts of nitric acid, pos
sesses, is, that it requires a much smaller
hole or chamber than gunpowder does, the
strength of the latter being scarcely one
tenth of the former. Hence, the miners
work, which, according to the hardness Of
the rock, represents Eve to twenty times the
power OF the gunpowder used, Is so short
that the cost of blasting is often reduced by
fifty per cent.

The Radical Prsposisisn.

Radicalism requires now that the South
ern States shall subscribe to universal suf.
frage, to be conceded in ten years, for the
bestowal Of her rights not under the Consti.
tuition, but under radical rule. 1t IL with
no generosity, no high sense of justice that
this proposition Is made. It is power and
overwhelming numbers tempting weakness
and paucity Of numbers, to barter rights
and principle for q pretended consideration
We know it will not be accepted Any one
who would accept it, has an eye only for
the flesh pots and sells liberty to personal
ambition. Once let US depart from q firm
demand of our rights and concede the priv
ileges which we know are our due, and the
surrender will but mark the precedent for
future aggressions, and future demands, to
be followed by further concessions on our
part Let US never depart from principle.
It would be better for us to remain as terri
tories, to render tribute as conquered prov
inces than sell our birthright for temporary
position. What degrading thing it would
be if when claiming to be States equal in
all the rights Of any Of the States of this
Union, we should send representatives to a
Congress in which our members would be
compelled to occupy positions of second
rate and inferior stations in which our low
cred dignity and bartered rights would
place them 1t would be better to suffer
and to wait little longer. Let us not agree
to compromise our rights to the demands OF
radical madness. A State, a people, lose
their position in the political world, and the
respect which mankind ever shows, and the
sympathy which right ever excites, when
they fall from their high estate as equals
before the world with other States, to that
ofinferiors. Let us not cause our own deg
radiation A people who are true to them
selves cannot be degraded by others
Chains may be presented to fetter our lib
critics. Let US not rivet them.

u Facts which have come to our knowl

q Facts which have come to our knowl-
edge within the past week or two, says the
Kinds County Gazette of the 9th, have
considerably shaken our views, hitherto ex-
expressed, with reference to the policy of
devising some means to stay, for limited
period, the collection of debts through the
Courts We had no idea that creditors con-
templated such wholesale coercion in the
collection of debts as is now apparent in this
good county of Kinds We thought, in
view of the common ruin and disasters of
the past, that great indulgence would be
shown by creditors to all honest debtors.
1t appears, however, from what has been
going on about here for the past week or
two, that creditors are becoming quite
blood-thirsty. Suits to an astonishing mum.
Der are being brought to the May Term of
the Kinds Circuit Court Men have been
sued without being asked for payment
others have been sued who have had the
money on hand for months to pay their
notes, but could not learn into whose hands
they had fallen-others have been sued on
debts contracted during the war, when our
currency $1,000 as ~ 10 Win SOlu-Wullo
others again have been sued, and their
property attached, who are temporarily alb
sent from the State. Many creditors are
certainly overlapping themselves and if
many of those who have brought suits
should find themselves foiled In the end.
while those who have not brought suits re-
alize their claims. they will have themselves
only to blame.
The relaxation in our views on this SUBJ
ject which has taken ploce, must not be i'm
puted to personal considerations. Never
having sued man in our life, and NEVER
HAVING BEEN SUED, we are disinterested
observer of passing events, and can afford to
Sympathize with the honest debtor, as well
as the generous aud kind-hearted creditor

from the Southern Sentinel, having submit

ceived by him, threatening him and his as
sistants with personal violence unless they
leave the place, the Board of Aldermen have
passed resolutions expressing their opinion
that it was sent by some inconsiderate and
evil-minded person for the purpose of an
noyance, and that all well-disposed persons
disapprove of it, and pledging the whole
civil and municipal authority of the city for
his protection against interference, in which
they doubt not they would be aided by the
whole civil force of the State.
