The hope Of the Gulf cities is
the Daricn canal Of the South

the leveeing of the Mississippi
and tributaries of the American

The removal of the capitol 10
st. Louis insures the levee of the

That, in turn, insures the DaFien

THE EDITOR OF THE RAY
NOM GAZETTE AND GEN.
ALCORN'S LETTER.
The editor of the Raymond
Gazette is somewat vexed that
the celebrated letter written BY
General AlcOrn did not appear
In the HERALD and that the
HERALD copied without "com.
mept a severe criticism of the
letter from the Meridian Mer-
curry. He says in his editorial
THAT the editor of the HERALD has
the reputation Of being wholly
and intensely a Democrat Of the
old secession school Of thought
To relieve the editor Of the Ga
bzette Of the weight of suspense
under which he is evidently sui.
fering, we will state that our rep
utation thus far has not bclied us.
He is also annoyed that the Bran
don Republican 'seems disposed
to handle the parties to the cor
respOndcnce rather roughly
But very generously and compli.
mentarily ends by saying -
"The Republican is a tip-lop
papeT, and so is the Mercury, and
So is the Herald-but if We we're
looking around for a leader for a
new movement, we are not right
certain that We would go into the
ring for him. But, then, our
Judgment might be learfully def
cient."
Possibly if the gentleman did.
so he might be as efIectually and
as promptly ''snubbed'' as when
he went "nosing'' after General
Alcorn to know what dispo-
sition that gentleman intended
10 make Of the official 'loaves
and fishes" The HERALD did not
comment upon the correspond.
ence not because 1t did not think II
richly deserved II, but because II
! had a little mercy in its compost
ton and did not choose to strike
q man who had been SO promptly
hOored by the one 10 whom he
had gone begging a favor upon
the score Of old. friendship and
> party association. The HERALD
could not find it in It's heart 10
pursue one who had been already
so terribly punished as had the
editor Of tho Gazette, by General
AlcOrn in his letter which the
gentleman of the Gazette is SO
anxious TO see in print. While
the punishment is exceedingly SC.
we're, yet we cannot even pity the
editor Of the Gazette since he so
richly deserved it. What right
had he speaking of himself as au
old whig, as ifhe was representing
that defunct party to write such a
letter to the leader of the Radical
tlpartyP None whatever. Gener-
al Alcorn kenW il and he, therefore,
nipped such correspondence in
, the bud, very clearly giving the ed
Z itor of the Gazette to understand
that his prefer of ailliation came
too late that he had won the vic.
| tory in the face Of the opposition
of the editor of the Gazette and
that now he did not desire to in.
crease the number Of his pollti
cal friends, when there was moth.
ing left for them to do but to de.
mand and receive favors at hi
hand.
