THE Jackson Pilot would amend
section 4S of the school bill, so as
to "avoid any mixing, which, by
offending prejudice, would defeat

orally seem fair; and in this in
stance regarding section As, we
heartily agree that II whites and
blacks are to be forced by its
provisions to mix in schools, the
whole act will be virtually inopera.

children are concerned, aud it will

VIcXsBURG.-Thls old war. scared
city is really progressing with an
rapidity that is astonishing. The
business men Of Vicksburg, gen.
orally, seem TO be minated with
an eternal spirit Of progress. En-.
ergy and public Improvement are
certainly the two main theories Of
Vicksburgcrs. On every side the
erection of new and costly resi-.
dences and business houses, greets
the eye of the pedestrian. We
speak from our own personal OBJ
servations. All of its citizens
seem to be striving individually to
put their city ahead Of all rival
towns on the Father Of Waters
Vicksburg has. the best natural
advantages Of any city on the
Mississippi, and from all indica-
tions, the people Of the old his.
toric city, are fully aware Of this
fact, When the Southern Pacific
Railroad shall have been fin.
ished, it alone will be the means
by which the citizens of Vicksburg
will be enabled to reach that goal
to which they have SO long looked
forward to. Vicksburg is, I'M
dOubtedly, destined to be a large
place, to whose mart the planters
Of all the river, and even the inte-
rior towns will send their products.
The people of Mississippi may
justly feel proud Of their metropO.
lis. A town or city inhabited by
such energetic, liberal and
thorough.going people as Vicks-
burg Is, will certainly reach the
zenith Of It's highest anticipatIons.

New York Financial Chronicle
gives the following review Of that
market for last week, to June 4th:
The market the past week has
continued dull and declining. Now
that the India cotton has begun to
come in freely, and the weekly
shipments from Bombay to be in
excess Of the same weeks Of last
year, the remaining prop to prices
has given way and holders seem in
clined to supply freely whatever
demand presents itself, although
the stock Offering Is not heavy
But on the other hand buyers are
very shy, almost nothing being
done for export, while spinnerS are
only supplying their more pressing
wants. During yesterday and to.
day the market has been unfavOr'
ably affected by the failure Of GER
tain parties 10 protect their con-
tracts for future, resulting in Q
considerable amount being thrown
upon the market for sale, depress'
Ing prices largely for forward de-
livery cotton, so that yesterday q
one time there was quite a panicky
feeling prevailing. To-day, how
ever, the market has been depressed
by rumors of very large shipments
this week from Bombay aud yer!
dull Liverpool accounts, and thC
close Is heavy, though prices arr
very little changed since yesterday.
The sales for the forward delivery
reach 1880 bales (all low middlins
or on the basis Of low middling).
We have now reached so near tn
close Of the cotton year that the re
suits of the season can be statet

down the narrow channel, through
