The Report of the Secretary of W.r in
reference to the Fourth Military District
(so-called) is almost a transcript of the
Report of the District Com mander lere-

calumnies against the white population,
perpetrated by that officer. We have
copied it as a matter of record. Is for

have seen with no little satisfaction that
the name of this distinguished gentleman
is included in the list of the Mississippians
whose disabilities have been removed by
recent act of Congress. 1t is to be hoped
that some field of public service will be
assigned him in the new administration
in this State, commensurate with his
great abilities. He would adorn the
High Court Bench and what a magnifi-
cent specimen of Senator in Congress he

from its editorial management. We sim
cerely regret to lose him from the pro-

ability, good judgement, frmness and
courtesy. He almost invariably wrote

The government of the negro country
OF Liberia enforces law which does not
permit white men to vote and to hold of
flee in that country, in retaliation for the
withholding of similar privileges from
the blacks in a number of the Northern
States of the American Union. But in
spired by Radical pledges of more lib
eral policy towards citizens of African
descent, the national convention of the
latter have recently addressed an appeal
to the people of the African Republic to

stitution so that heneeforth no distinction

full of bitterness towards the people of

advocacy Of a liberal policy. Let the

Acce--ion- 10 our PopuIation.- :

Not from the nations beyond the wide
waters is our State receiving aces
sions to her population The Winona
Democrat contains the following crafty
ing announcement:
A number of families arrived at this place
on the cars one night this week en- route for
the county of ChOctaw, where number of
small farms have recently been purchased
by an agent. who preceded them. They are
stout hearty looking men and women, who
presented the appearance of people who
were willing to work. They are from South
Carolina. and we hope soon to be able To
chronicle the fact that they have been fol-
lowed by rs many more families of the same
sort. Such emigrants are always heartily
welcomed by the good people of our coun-
try.
And here is the Yazoo Democrat con-
tanning the following extract of letter
from Col. r. l.. Sidwell of Secor, Hi
nois:
There started from here to-day for the
South. about fifty persons, including some
sixty families They are going To the Sill
Yer Creek country of YaZoo county, and |
trust they viii be pleased as many more
will follow them in that event"
The Democrat welcomes these new
corners, and assures them a cordial greet
ing. They are not coming to live by
their wits nor to engage in the work of
strife, but to engage in the honorable
pursuits of life which will contribute to
the material welfare of the State.

ADVANCES TO PLAETERs.-Aw writer
in another column on the eve of another
wears business appropriately makes some
practical observations ON this topic, which
we commend to the consideration of plan
tiers. But little remains to be added To-
What he has so well said. With the
change of the times In which the custom
of anticipating the proceeds of growing
crops, prevailed, the habit Itself should
be abandoned. The planter will be at
the mercy of spectators so long as he
continues to obligate himself to push Tor
ward his cotton to market to be disposed
of Immediately without reference to Pnce
and to surrounding influences created by
interested parties No better method of
doing away with the necessity of obtain
ing advances is for the planter to raise
his own corn and meat. BY attention,
the millions that are expended for these
articles of western production would be
kept at home and the producer could
save himself the selfimposed slavish de-
pendence on his merchants which places
his crop (unless he dishonorably violates
his pledge promptly to send it forward
beyond his control and leaves him no dis
erection as to its disposal.

The Radicals are alarmed for the fate
of the 18th amendment It is an ele-
ment of weakness to their party in the
Northern States, and they are anxious to
get nd of it. To this end, the vote of
Georgia is necessary, and hence the
scheme to remand her to = territorial condi-
ton IN violation of the plighted faith of
Congress which passed an act formally
declaring her Fe-admizzim into the Union.

Hamilton is likely to be one.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. -
Between seven and eight o'clock yes
terday morning the soap factory of
Mr.. Philip Decker, situated on Third
Avenue, beyond Eleventh Street, was
discovered to be on fire. The alarm
was sounded as soon as possible, and
the engines started to the scene Of the
fire, but we believe only the Lamasco
or Union Engine and one hand engine
got there. and in consequence of the
scarcity of water these could do but
little service.
The factory, with all its contents,
including considerable amount of
raw material and manufactured goods,
were entirely destroyed. leaviI g the
bare blackened walls alone standing.
The adjacent buildings were saved.
1t is thought the engine and large
kettle will be saved. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000 to $4,000, on
which there is So, 900 insurance in the
Evansville office. The FIRE is sup
posed to have been the work of an
incendiary. as there had been no fire
used in the building since Friday.
The lard oil and rosin in the building
caused it to burn rapidly, and rem
dered the heat most intense. The
loss is very heavy on Mr.. Decker, who,
in his misfortune, has the sympathy
Of all good citizens.
1t is only few months since an
almost successful attempt was made
