a Sensible view Of MissI-sIppI Pol
Icy from a Neutral Stand pOInI.

In the confusion Of reports from Washing
ton touching the canvass Ia Mississippi, the
following facts are manifest: Gen. Ames
who has been making himself Extensively
ofiicious as partiZln Of the ultra Radicals
in opposion TO the liberal Republicans. has
been permitted TO retain his place a. District
Commander. tcfth Me distinct understanding,
hO,eeUer, that he is 10 abstain from me inferfer-
eRce Nth The cdJsrdss ia the future. His course
has been so INSCRIPTIONS heretofore that it
was apprehended by the liberal Republicans
that he would not hesitate 10 manipulate the
ballot-boX so as to deprive them ofthe fruits
of the victory they are sanguine of winning.
But this game has been efiectually blocked.
lie has been instructed To observe strict neu-
trality between the contesting parties, aud
with a view to secure a fair election, the
President has declared that its messengers
shall consist ofone Conservative Republican,
one ultra Radical, and one army officer, who
Is presumed to be neutral. a number OF the
officers who were managers In the Virginia
election, and whose honorable and Impair
tial course was commended by the press of
that State, have already been ordered TO
Mississippi for the discharge Of a like duty.
Judge Dent Is fully committed TO run the
race as a candidate for Governor on the plat
form of the liberal Republicans; and the
Conservatives in imitation OF the wise exam
pie of their brethren in Virginia and Ten
nessee, will rally to his support. His elee-
ton may by considered as an accomplished
fact.

PRINCE GEORGE Co., MARYLAND, !
August LIST, 1869.

PRINCE GEORGE Co., MARYLAND, !
August LIST, 1863.
The division in the Cabinet on political
questions is understood to be broad and
deep. Boutwell,, Cresswell, Robson and
(probably) Hoar, are extreme Radicals.
Fish, Rawlings and Cox are National
Republicans And it is surmised that
the President does not attempt to control
the political views Of his constitutional
advisers
In order to save himself from defeat,
Stokes, the candidate of the Disfranchi-
sers in Tennessee against Senter, Nation
al Republican, has obtained letters from
Boutwell, and Cresswell strongly endors-
ing him; but the other members of the
Cabinet have refused to interfere in the
election.
Nothing can exceed the folly into which
the blind partizanship of Boutwell, and
Cresswell, has betrayed them. 1t is
scarcely to be doubted that Stokes will
be defeated as he deserves to be. He
Will go down beneath the same popular
wave In favor of Impartial Suffrage and
Universal Amnesty which has swept tri-
umphantly over Virginia. And yet to
the extent of their ability, they have
committed the Administration to the for
tunes of the failing faction: and the cleo
ton of Senter may be logically claimed as
a defeat of the Administration in a State
which gave Gen. Grant 10000 majority
over Seymour, provided they are to be
accepted as opponents of its policy. Gen.
Grant will ascertain ere long that it is
wretehed management which permits a
portion of his cabinet to present his Ad-
ministration in AN attitude of hostility to
all who refuse to bow the knee to the
Baal of Prescription; and that it must
float with the current which is carrying
the vessel freighted with the fortunes of
the people, to the haven of Peace" or
sink beneath it.
In his letter in favor of Stokes, Mr..
boutwell,, lays down this proposition -
The platform of party is not SO good
AN indication of their purpose as can be
obtained from knowledge of the Po-
"itical character and opinions of the
men who control the party"
Measured by this standard, what are
the present professions of the EgglestOn-
Alcorn faction in favor of liberal con-
satution, worth? Hsw are they to be
weighed against the political character
and opinions" of the men who framed the
DISTINGUISHING constitution, and who in
decently, and in disregard. Of Ethe plight
ca faith of Congress, attempted TO force
y and themselves on the people who had
. .ay and righteoualy decided against

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE
ORPHANS HO1IE.-On the 18th inst, we pub
lished a series of resolutions adopted by the
Board of Trustees of the Orphans Home,
expressing their disapproval of the efforts
of certain parties in New York to secure a
certain lottery franchise by the payment of
five thousand dollars into the State Treasury
for the benefit of the Orphans Home. just
prior to rhe time mentioned, a representa-
tive of the New York parties had made
formal tender of the money to the State
Treasurer who declined to receive it, under
instructions from Gen. Ames-the latter
emphatically endorsing on the application
his disapproval of lottery schemes. even
when conducted ostensibly in the interest
of orphans. The New Workers. however,
were not to be foiled in their benevolent( p
efforts in behalf Of the children at Lauder
dale Springs, and have actually secured
from Gen. Sherman an order directing our
State Treasurer to receive the money when
rendered! This order, with the money, is
now at Columbus, and will be here in a few
DAYS In this attitude of the case, the Trus-
tees will, of course, accept the five thousand
dollars, for the benefit of the Home. It will
be paid into the State Treasury for that pur-
pose and can be applied only in that behalf

WEST JACKSON ENTERPRISE. We
paid visit yesterday to the shops of Messrs.
VIM. and John Stewart. near the freight de
pot in West Jackson, and were SURPRISED As
well as delighted at the extent to which
they are engaging in the general business
OF manufacturing. Commencing without
other capital than their genius, industry and
long experience as mechanics, they are rap
idly building up business which. cannot
iail eventually TO well repa1 them for their
enterprise and toll, and prove greatly ben
ehciat TO our city, also. Their shops-at
present but temporary frame structures
are located on Town Creek, where they have
purchased four acres of ground, and here
they nope, before many years, to erect ex-
tensive and substantial buildings
The Mcssrs. Stewart are at present enga-
ged, in co-partnership with Mr.. L. c. New
conner. in the manufacture of bone dust
Their mill, for this purpose, is capable of
grinding six tons per day. 1t is interesting
10 witness how readily, and with terrible
Iofce, The largest bones are reduced to the
hnest dust-the best known fertilizer to
ehrlch our mother earth. The demand for
inns fertilizer, during the past season, was
far greater than they were able to supply
Now, however, they are fully prepared to
Hi orders. Planters ordering from this
mill will get the pure article, and at less
cost than bone-dust can be purchased else
where and brought here. The only draw
back is the want of bones or rather. the
want of the disposition to gather them up.
Dir. Newcomer has advertised for half
million pounds.
The next thing we noticed was Grist
Mill, capable of grinding fifty bushels of
corn per hour. This mill serves the public
on Wednesdays and saturdays. and has al
ready proven great accommodation to the
people in West Jackson and vicinity.
The fruit crates, patented by Messrs.
Lindsey 81 OSullivan are made at these
shops. The Messrs. Stewart devised and
put in operation the necessary machinery
for turning out a box every three minutes.
A Planning Machine, and an immense oven
for the rapid drying of lumber are among
the other features of their shops.
The engine in use is almost entirely of
their own manufacture. 1t is about thirty
horse power. They have recently fitted up
an engine for our Press Room, which we
hope to have in its place next week, when
we will be better prepared. to use up the
raw material, and give the Messrs Ste warts |
A better blow!
We will add that Mr.. WIN. Stewart is one |
Of the most accomplished draughtsmen in |
the country, and is very frequently called |
upon for designs and plans forpublic edi-
fees, residences, etc.

ORPHANS EItD8A E----ANNUAL
FESTIVAL.

The Third Annual Festival of the Orphans
Home will occur at Lauderdale, on the 18th
of September proximo. Everybody is In
Vited to attend. We are very anxious that
these annual gatherings should be generally
attended by the people. We want them to
become acquainted with the Home; with its
management and condition, and the work it
is accomplishing. We urge all therefore, to
come and see us. Your presence will ell
courage us and cheer the orphans.
Entertainments of various kinds will be
provided for the occasion. The orphans
will entertain us with a brief exhibition of
their attainments. Distinguished speakers
will address us. There will be music to
charm u.s. Nor will the Inner man" be
forgotten.
We would not have the people forget how
ever, that one object of this Festival is to
entertain the orphans. We would make the
enioyments of the occasion mutual. We
therefore invite every one to bring little
something for the inmates of the Home
Bring something nice. These children are
like our Own-they love nice things; but it
is not often that they have the privilege of
enjoying them. They are poor, and have
only what we give them.
If you cannot come yourselfto the festi-
val, send box or basket of nice things by
neighbor or friend, or Express. Let us show
the orphans that we love them still, and
wish to be loved by them.
Fresh meats and fowls should be sent so
as to reach the Home on the 14th.
The Railroads will convey all visitors to
the festival1and home again at half fare.
BY order of the Board,
VS.. WEBB. Sec'y.
The various papers of the State will do the
Home a favor by giving the above as wide

EDUCATIoNAL.-Und the Presidency
of Rev. Walter Hillman, the two we'll
known institutions OF learning-at Clinton
Mississippi College and Central Female In
stitute-are rapidly regaining that efticien-
cy and popularity which characterized them
before the war. The latter school was one
of the few that did not suspend operations
during the recent unpleasantness. Ii kept
steadily on, but with diminished patron
age Of course. During the past year the at
tendance of pupils was We ry encouraging,
and its prospects for the session which opens
on the 2sth of next month are very fatter-
ing. 1t is one of the best Female Colleges
in the South. Mr.. Hillman and his lady
are peculiarly qualified for tie care and gen.
eral advancement Of young ladies.
We direct particular attention to what Mr..
Hillman has to say elsewhere concerning
Mississippi College. Financial embarrass-
ments have crippled the usefulness OF this
College, but it win soon be relieved, and win
go forward in the great work Of preparing
young men for the battles of life. The next
session opens on the 9th September.

From the Houston Record.

Our individual preference Is for a straight
out Democratic ticket, and we think there
should be Convention or the Democratic
party called, to make nominations for all the
offices. III that Convention in It's wisdom
chooses to select any or all OF the candidates
put forward by the Conservative Republi-
cans, well and good they shall receive our
support; but we are not willing 10 surren-
der our organizations as a party nor are we
willing TO give our support to all the princi-
pies OF the National Republican party, as
set forth in their resolutions, and IL we do
give our support to the candidates OF that
party, IL is the men not the party.
