Rev. James Lynch is great on tele.
egrams. He sent despatch to the Wash
ington Chronicle announcing that Rev.
James Lynch and the entire Radical
ticket are elected" &c. He sent another
despatch to a National Convention $50
called of colored people at Washington,
which read as follows:
JACKSON, MISS, Dec, z, 1863.
To the President Of the Colored Mems cOnven-
ton:
Seventy thousand triumphant solored
Radicals send greeting
1t is added that the despatch vas re-
ceived with applause. Accordingto this
statement that seventy thousand color
ed RAIDS voted for Alcorn, it wouH leave
him but six thousand white supporters.
We learn that his whole vote about
76, 600: barely one-half of the entire
voting population of the State unler the
last registration. When it is remember
ed that in these six thousand ar inclu-
ded the importations of Ames wlo were
brought into the State to "cary' the
election, it can be easily inferred that
Lynch was right last year when he de-
clared that in many counties thee were
not dozen white Radicals, all told. Their
number will grow small by degrees.
Mark the prediction.

MiIi1nrr ProcInmntion.

The Proclamation of the District Com
mander announcing the result Of the
election, and ordering the Legislature to
convence on the 18th of January, will be
found elsewhere. BY this proclamation,
it will be seen that the Constitution has
been adopted, with the proscriptive clau-
ses stricken out and that the clause pro-
hibiting the Legislature from pledging
the faith of the State, has been retained.
According to the best information we
have, of the Senators, the Conservatives
have elected seven members and twenty
five to the House of Representatives.
Besides these, there are quite number
who were elected on the Radical ticket,
alleging that there was no Democratic
ticket in the field, as choice between
Republicans they preferred the regulars, ."
under the belief that they would more
readily accomplish reconstruction and that
Gen. Alcorn would compel a strict COM
pliance with the liberal professions of his
platform. These classes will constitute
a strong combination against the malig-
nant Bitter-End element.

A QUERY.

The President in his message speaking of
CUBAN affairs, says "The principle is main
tanned however, that THIS NATION is its own
judge when to accord rights of belligerency
either to people struggling to free them
selves from government they believe % be
oppressive or to independent nations at war
with each other"
The gravemen of complaint as / under
stand it, against Great Britain I'm the Ala
bama (claims) case is that she-Britain-
accorded rights of belligerency''to the $50.
called" Confederate States who were ''strug-
Cling to free themselves from government
they believed to be oppressive
,Jure de hoe, if the United States maintains
that this NATION is its own judge when to
accord rights of belligerency, &c. Must not
this nation accord" the same right of judg-
ment to Great Britain? And this being
done what becomes of the thread-bare COM
plant that the British government did the
United States great wrong in according"
to the late Confederate States rights of bel
ligerency."
1t is observable that the message con-
stantly speaks of 'the nation" "this nation"
&c. Formerly the Presidents spoke of 1.-THE
government" and the terms "confederacy''
and confederation" may be found in some
of the earlier and better messages. QueTzL
again? is this New England, Boutwell,
trick to accustom the people to the idea that
State Rights is myth, and that We are now
one consolidated. people! 1t looks that way
to q IN CORNER.

The Promised DeIiverance.

The temper ofCongress does not seem
to be favorable to the redemption by the
Radicals of this State of their pledge to
secure general amnesty to the people
thereof. Beast Butler and his tribe are
not in a generous mood. But few of our
ex-rebels, as they are styled in Radical
parlance, deserted to that party in the
late canvass, and they did so distinctly ON
the ground, not of securing amnesty for
themselves only, but for the people gen.
orally. Many others declined to partici-
pate actively in the election under a vague
idea that the Radical leaders had the
power to redeem their pledge and would
DO it. The public will earnestly await
the promised deliverance though not
without apprehensions of disappointment

The Tallahatchian announces that
Ames' vagabonds who were imported in
to Tallahatchie county to manage the
election and to ''earry' the county, hav-
ing performed their work and received
their reward, have taken their departure
to the no little delight of the people of
the county. They are part of the same
clan of whom the people of the State
were warned by the Avalanche on the
eve of the election. Says the .Tallahat-
chan:
The great and important event of this
week and the one we chronicle with more
than ordinary pleasure, was the departure
early on Tuesday morning of the military
command at this post, and with it the W hole

starved-out, carpet bag election shysters of
this county. Yes the whole kit-and- bilin
OF them have left US and we breathe free

Mention has been made in our columns
of the cold-blooded and entirely unpro-

youth of Is years, at Oxford, during the

Immigration.

The immigration statistics show that with
in the quarter including July, August and
september over a hundred thousand immi-
grants arrived at the different ports with a
view to permanent settlement in this coun-
try. This is a valuable increase to our pop
ulation, not only because of the actual mo-
ney which these people bring with them
and that is considerable-but it is valuable
for the new industries which it will deyelope
and the additional force it will impart to the
work daily going on upon our vast Western
helds If this immigration were to settle
down in the large Atlantic cities the advan-
tage of so large an accession of strangers
might be dubious; but fortunately there
are now in existence organized societies
both here and in the Western States. to direct
them to places where their labor and what
ever small capital they possess can be en-
ployed to the best profit for themselves and
the country. Immigrants, therefore, soon
ind their way to those inviting regions on
both sides of the Mississippi, where their
labor becomes Immediately productive and
emunerative.-New York Herald.
1t is for the people of the South to de-
termine what portion of this vast tide of
population shall be diverted to their own
section. The harvest is ripe. Only en-
ergetic reapers are needed.

Butler stated that the Committee postpOn-

IMM1GRAr1oN TO MIssIssIpp1.

IMMIGRATION TO MISSISSIPPI. An
immense tide of travel is passing along
all the routes to Texas from the South
ern Atlantic States. The accessions to
her population of movers in search of
cheap lands and good range" will be
immense the present season. This mi
gratory movement has even extended to
Mississippi, and we have often been pain
ed to hear of families breaking away
from their old homes to better their con-
diton in the West. Most of them will
be disappointed. There is no portion of
the favored country embraced within the
limits of the Upited States, more abound
ing in the elements that contribute to
wealth and prosperity than our own State
of Mississippi, Glad are we that these
advantages though not properly appreci-
ated by some of her own disconnected
people, are not overlooked by persons in
the older States who are seeking better
homes. The following item is copied
from the Walden Times:
We learn from a gentleman in the neigh
bOlhood of French Camps, Choctaw county,
that gentleman from South Carolina has
been on a visit to that portion of the coun-
", looking out for homes for several fami-
lies, w.t. are going to move and settle in
this Stare. He purchased lands for them
and they viii move and settle there imme-
diately. This is the kind Of immigration
we like to see-people who make living
the right hand of fellowship.
