u Repairs on the Central Railroad are
being rapidly pushed on under the direction
Of President West and the indefatigable su-
perintendent, Mr.. Frost. Since these were
undertaken not less than thirty miles of
bridges and trestle-work have been built
TheIats destructive foods have, we fear, re-
tarded operations. But for these the re-
pairs would be completed in two weeks or
less from this time. The season of foods.
however, having passed, no further inter
ruptions need be anticipated, and we hope
to be soon able to announce that this impor-
tant route is in full operation to our sister
city Jackson, Tenn. This will be q great
event for our own city, bringing it into di-
rect communication with the great West by
nearly an air line.

The jackson Standard comes to hand con-
siderably enlarged and otherwise improved,
thus giving evidence of prosperity and use
fulness. Jackson now has (omitting those
at New Orleans) three of the largest daily
papers in the southwest That each estab-
lishment is clearing an immense amount of
money, there can be no doubt. The circu-
lation of these papers is SO immense, and
consequently the wear of material so great,
that each one keeps a type foundry con-
stantly engaged to supply it with type! We
are grati6ed to hear as we do priva tely, that
the next time they enlarge and come out in
new dresses, (Which will be the 4th of July
next,) they design presenting the type they
are now using to the country offices in the
neighborhood! We don't wish to hurry
up the cakes" but we must be permitted to
| express the hope that the Office that is elect
| ed to supply us will not ship by the South
ern Express Company" as we shall never
be able, at the printing business, to raise
the money to pay the freight bill. Ship by
| some other Line, or-1dudnce the freight bill
for us.-Hinds County Gazette.

The daily Mississippi clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1866, 1866-04-29

a Major J. Walker of the Fifth United
States cavalry, regular army, who has for
some time past resided in South Carolina,
in command of all the cavalry in that State,
has arrived in Washington. His opinions
on the condition of politics and society in
that State are set forth by the correspond
emit of the New York Times, who says:
The best and most loyal part of the white
people of South Carolina are the officers and
soldiers OF the rebel army. They mingle
freely with our troops, and extend the cour-
tesies of society whenever able they frank
ly accept the situation, denounce the lead
erS of secession, and declare strongly against
any further war, except it be against q CON-
mon enemy. The meanest and most disloyal
portion OF the South Carolina people are
those who stayed at home, refusing to fight,
and the women most of the latter are az
bitter and rancorous as ever, and do all they
can to deprive Northern officers and resi-
dents of the pleasures of society; but the
backbone of their hate is occasionally bro
ken by manly face or q plethoric purse,
and time, too, will. also cure them. Regular
officers are held in better favor than volun-
teers, for the reason that the rebels look up
on the latter as especial instruments against
them, while regulars are esteemed q part OF
the army, as it existed before the war Gen.
Ames in command at Columbia, is popular
with all classes from the urbanity and fair
ness of his administration. Loyalty is fos-
tered under his command.
On the whole, Major Walker thinks the
condition of affairs in the cradle of secession
far more favorable than could have been ex.
pected considering the intense hatred of the
Government INDUCED in by the entire white
population but one year ago. If the Re
construction Committee desire cool-headed
| impartial witness, who bases his statements
upon facts, and not upon prejudices, they
cannot do better than examine Major
| Walker.
