DISTRESS IN MISSISSIPPI. The Gin
cinnati Gazette has the following
account of the deplorable condition
OF affairs in Mississippi:
''The state of things is appalling.
Distress, want and misery are even
now stalking abroad. What it may
come to in the dead of winter and
spring. God only knows. Every
kind of business here is prostrated.
Planters arc bankrupts by the failure
OF the crops, and involve the mer-
chants who advanced for them on the
strength of the growing crop. The
distress here will be equal, 1 am
afraid, to the Irish famine of 1947
and 1S4S. I assure you, you never
saw such distressed and ruined peo-
pie as the people of Mississippi, and
l presume the citizens of the other
cotton States are in the same condi-
tion, and I see no remedy except
within the fold of the Union"

CONFEDERATE MONEY.-In New
Orleans, last week, the great ca-e of
Weaver as. AnfouX, which has elicit
ed so much learning and ability in the
lower and the Supreme Courts, has
been finally decided by the latter
tribunal. The Judgment of the court
below i'll favor of Weaver was con-
tirmed. The points involved were,
whether n party who has given a
mortgage for loan made in Confed-
crate notes could resist tho enforce
ment of the mortgage, when he had
used the notes in question to release
previous mortgage. The Supreme
Court decided that he could not avail
himself of such plea, after accept
ing and using the notes as they had
been used. The judgment was, there
fore, in favor of the mortgage.

OTOPP1NG NEWSPAPER. Some
people seem to think that their sub
scription to newspaper obligates
the editor to advocate their own pc
culiar views on all questions which
affect the public, forgetting that an
editor should be an independent
being, honest enough to give his
opinions, and let his readers Judge
of what they are worth. To those
who are SO ready to send word,
"Stop my paper" because the editor
expresses his honest opinion, formed
after careful research and mature de-
liberation, we commend the follow
ing little story:
ga certain man hit his toe against
pebble and fell headlong to the
ground. He wis vexed, and, under
the influence of anger and self-suffi.
cheney, he kicked mother earth right
saueily. With imperturbable gravity
he looked to see the earth dissolve
itself and como to naught. But the
earth remained, and only his poor
foot injured in the encounter.
"This is the way of man. An ar
ticle in newspaper touches him in q
weak spot, and straightway he sends
to stop his paper!' With great
self-complacency he looks to see the
crash when the object of his spleen
shall cease to be. Poor fool, he has
only hit his own toe against world
that does not perceptibly feel the
shock, and Injuries, to slight ex-
tent nOna bnt himself" +"

Taking a "Horn."

We are not to be counted among
those who seem to think 1t
n sin to enjoy the good things of
this life, and make particularly
grim faces at those luxuries which
come under the head of bibbible.
We do not detest 'horn, there
fore. in the beverageous sense,
though we should prefer to see it.,
in these hard times, a "horn OF
plenty We should like to see 1t
in such shape that it might bring
comfort to the sick bed, and peace
to the mind distressed about such
important trifles az bread and but
ter. We should like to see it so pre-
scented that the fond wife and hap
py mother might contemplate 1t as
she walked the streets, or nursed
her prattling boy, and taught him
to pronounce the names OF. those
good spirits who had thus remem-
bered them. We do not care to
see it in such shape that, gazing
at it after midnight, this same wo-
man might have reason to press
her infant still closer to her bosom,
and, listening for the footstep Of
the absent, to wonder what new
temptation that shining gift had
accustomed, what new expense tor
liquid ruin It's loss had imposed
that night upon their scanty means
of subsistence. That's our opin-
ion about taking a "horn.
