The Cherokee Advertiser SAYS: We
are sorry to say that Cherokee has had
another murder committed upon her soil
but it is even so. On the 10th inst.
while Drs. 2. G. May and Robert Witt
were travelling together in buggy, in
the upper end of this county, they were
attacked by J. r. Pickett, who shot and
killed DIR. Witt, almost instantly. We
have been informed that III feelings have
existed between Puekett and Witt foH
several months, which has at length ter
minated in the assassination OF the latter.
1 The occurrence is sad one, as Witt
leaves large family TO mourn their loss.
The Mobile Register says: We learn
that Gov. Patton has returned from
Washington, and during his absence has
succeeded in satisfactory arrangement
for the extension Of the state debt and
renewal Of the $4,000 bonds of last year,

efforts in behalf Of the public interests
and credit, are worthy of commentator
and prove his zeal and ability. We learn,
also, that the attorney general has rem
dered decision exempting the issue OF
state bonds from taxation.

PANS, FRANCE, July Q, 1857.


PARIS, FRANCE, July 9. 1857.
Mr. Cook, President American Wine Company
Dear Sir. N0twithstandlng you were
10th to send the wine OF your company
and, as / thought, reluctantly did senC
the last case, / can with much pleasure
congratulate you upon your having
received from the jury Of the imperial
commission Of the Paris universal eX.
position Of 1867 q honorable men.
tion.V This is equivalent to the diplo-
mas Of our stste fairs, and is a very
high honor, | can assure you. They pro-
nounced your wines UeTy superior. This
should stimulate you to vet higher fex-
eelsiOr . efforts. It will be Of great ser
vice to you, and desire you should, on
receipt Of this, send me full particulars
OF all the wines you make and the pro-
duct Of each. A prominent banker has
already applied to me about your wines,
and l think an agency opened here
would do you much good. / will make
further inquiry and post you as toduties,
freights, etc.
Since the award was made, but before
it was known, the United States sanitary
commission, through its agents, DIR.
Crane and DR.. Thos. w. Evans-the
latter New York commissioner, / be-
Heve, TO the fair-held special meeting,
at which some twenty Of the most
prominent men from all over the world
were present. They met at the Ameri-
can restaurant, and had samples of our
food tsuch as our armies were actually
supplied with cooled and served
up for them. l was applied to for
our native wines Of Missouri, and
contributed of the American wine COM
Pany, Mr.. George Hussman, and the st.
Louis park Of fruits, some seven or eight
varieties. They we're highly pleased
with them, and took notes Of prices,
quality, mode, adaptability Of soil, etc.,
etc. l was present and explained all in
my power, and invited them 10 come to
our American department as opportunity
offered, and learn more concerning our
wines.
America has exceeded all other eoun-
tries in the awards OF medals and honor
able mentions. Out Of five hundred and
twenty-five exhibitors we have two hun
dred and sixty five awards-Over fifty
per cent. No other country is so lucky.
Truly yours, JAMES L. BUTLER,

The Louisville Courier makes these
pertinent and sensible remarks upon the
duty and policy Of the South. What is
there in human nature that prevents in
telligent men from recognizing truths so
palpably plain, and makes them lovers
OF error, to their own miserable undoing
The sole cause Of all our present trouble
and embarrassments is that the suprem-
aey Of the constitution is no longer re-
spected. Unhsppily for the nation a
party has obtained the control Of national
affairs with which the constitution is no
authority. The anomaly is presented Of
q government nomiBally existing by
virtue Of an instrument, the provisions
Of which are Systematically ignored by
those in authority under the govern
ment. The leaders Of the dominant
party, with deliberate disregard of the
obligations Of morality almost or quite
without a parallel, habitually comply
with the requisite form of the govern
ment still nominally in force by taking
upon themselves the oath Of Office to sup
port the constitution, and then proceed
20 violate its most sacred provisions.
Until such time as they can change the
form of the government to suit the ad-
miDistrati0n, they are resolved to suffer
no seruples of morality or patriotism 10
interfere with the accomplishment of the
change they'prOpOse.
Such being the condition Of things, IL
follows that those who would preserve
republican government and free institu-
tions, must make the issue squarely upon
the constitution. To temporize with
any part Of the radical policy is as if q
physician should attempt to cure ma
lignant distemper merely by treating its
minor symptoms. The remedy must be
applied to the seat Of the disease, or re-
turn Of healthful symptoms cannot be
hoped for. The restoration Of the eOnsti-
tuition to that supremacy which for more
than eighty years Ii maintained, should
ba the sole aim of those who desire to
perpetuate republican government. No
thing less than the complete restoration
of such supremacy should content them,
for nothing else will save the country
from despOtism and anarchy.
Nothing could be more suicidal than
for the people of the southern states to
act upon the advice of those who counsel
them to accept the terms of the recon-
structiOn acts. Those acts in all their
features are essentially violative of the
constitution. Recognition of their pro-
visions is recognition Of a government
altogether at Yarisnce with that of the
constitution. By a compliance with
their Infamous conditions, the people Of
the south would voluntarily surrender the
rights solemnly guaranteed to them, and
assist in the establishment Of a new and
tyTannical government that eDslsves
them. The true policy for the people of
the south is TO insist upon all their rights
under the government which is still
in existence. II they fail to
escape oppression and tyranny by means
of the restoration of constitutional gov
ernment, they will certainly escape in
no other way. Nothing is to be made
by a compromise with the JacobiD revc-
but much is 70 be lost.

at Barns hotel, Mississippi City, for the
[ season.
The term Of office Of the aldermen of

The Harrisonburg Neo Era is in-

mems bureau for the parish, which re-
suited in the death of the latter.
The Grenada SeIstilaet of the Sd inst.
/ says: From the county we learn that the

/ and on every side we hear that the corn
/ supply ef this year will be one of the
| best ever raised In this state. The same
paper records the shooting of Mr.. Dan.
| Williams, at Greensboro, ChOctaw
county, last Friday, by his own brother,
Alfred Williams, because the first
named-an elder brother-tried to pre-
vent the younger from getting into per-

wound is supposed to be mortal, and the
fratricide is in custody for bis awful
crime.

this place. a specimen OF the coal was
shown US, lew days ago. We under
stand that IL has been analyzed and
found to be equal for common CRATES, TO
the best Pittfburg coal.
The Viel;sbuFg Times of the Cd inst,
under the Heading, "Nesrly a Fatal
Accident" says; We learn that, day
before yesterday evening, while an am
hulanoe containing the children Of Mai
Gen. Ord was crossing the railroad at the
Cherry street crossing, it came In con-
tact with Iassing train which threw it
violently from the track, smashing up
things generally, and frightening and
bruising tho children, though inflicting
no serious injury upon ths little ones.
We congratulate the general and Mrs.
Ord upon the fortunate escape Of their
children from fsightful death.
