The morality Of Congressional leglsla-
ton is strikingly exempliied in two re-
specie. The effect Of the Confscation
law, under which the life-interest Of a
party in lands ia sold, is TO make it for
the interest OF his heirs that he should
speedily die. His children may not
aC,sb that, and few are capable Of
such a wish, but the law holds out to
them with unweariei hand permanent

oftas reconstruction acts is to reconcile

chased By the hope Of pardon or the hope
Of Office or the fear Of oppression, and
tainted and demOralized by the base
aud sceursed influences Of Congressional
legislation, has so suuken from his once
high estate a. to grovel at the feet Of
power, and kiss the hand that smites
him on the mouth, and the feet that
trample him down into the mire of dis
honor?
The legislation that has for It's object
TO degrade and dishonor q people, to
corrupt and debsse and contaminate
them, to destroy all sense OF honor, all
pride, all heroic impulses, and stamp and
crush them down to the low base level
Of the ignorant negro, can hardly be
characterized by words. Its object is to
kill the soul. With few men it sue
ceeds, end spuTns and despises them af-
forwards. The Southern people, thank
God, and especially the aOomen Of the
South, il cannot so subdue as that they
shall glory in their own shame and deem
political fellowship with their oppressors
an honor.

MIssrssIPPI RIVER RAILWAY.

MASSEHSAEEA hGAN In NALL " n
We are informed by Mr.. Thomas II.
MilIingtOn, Chief Engineer, that the
surveys for the above road have been
completed, and estimates made of the
cost of construction through ObiOn and
Dyer counties.
As regards alignment, grade and cost,
the route Is an exceedingly favorable
one, and the work of such character as
to admit Of its beiug eheaply and speed
lily executed.
The great enthusiasm with which the
citizens of these counties hailed the
prospect Of q railroad, has settled down
into the full determination that it ought
ITO, and shall, be built, with the least pos
STOLE delay, and to insure the early COM
Fiction of this long desired road, the
vim With which subscriptions are being
made to the capital stock Of the COM
pany, leaves no doubt of speedy success.
If the citizsns Of Lauderdale, Upton
and Shelby counties enter into til
project with like zeal, there is no reason
why the road cannot be completed, and
the cars running from Psducah to Mem
phis within three years.
That such a contamination cannot
fail to be exceedingly beneficial in de-

Of the country through which the road
passes, and of adding largely to the COM

those interested the necessity Of taking
immediate steps calculated to insure the
early completion of this important thor

The corn Crop end Dry weaihe

The Corn Crop and Dry weather.
From almost every section, the alarm
is given of "great drouth." Yet, we
have rarely seen corn have a better
color. It needs rain, but the dry
weather, which has been most acceptable
for wheat, has not yet injured it and will
not, if it be properly cultivated.
At Point Coupee, on the 10th, there
was general complaint Of the prevailing
drouth, and fears were entertained OF
injury to the corn crop. If any farmer
should see this, let him remember that
corn can thrive with very little rain, pro-
vided the ground is kept well stirred.
1.-THE drier the season, the more work T"
never yet has been known to fail in Sc
curing good crop.
Corn sends out long roots in search OF
sustenance. While the ground should
be broken up as deeply as the pillow can
be driven and drawn, the surface
should afterwsrd be well stirred, that
the daws may the more readily pene-
trate, and fulfill their mission, aud not
as is too frequently the case, be absorbed
by the next day ssunshine, having found
a dry crust intercepting them from the
feelers of the plant struggling in every
direction in search of food, far below the
surface. Nor should the exploded notion
prevail of crowding the earth around the
gtrIi- 01ba 6rst cot Of hreoos or sprrrs no
ing covered up will be succeeded by s
second set. 1t is an instinct OF the plant
to support the weight of ears under which
with proper culture, it is sure to bend.
Hoeing is too slow work for cornfield
and requires too many hands. a culti-
water or a shovel pillow, well handled will
answer every purpose, and keep The
ground ia proper condition.
