VINO Is Provisional GOVERN.
oEa-A short time since, General
Ames rendered the appointment OF
Provisional Governor Of this State
to General ,Alcorn. AS we are in
formed, General Alcorn declined
the appointment. There could
have been no appointment unless
there was a vacancy, consequently,
the office Of Governor Of this State
must then have been untitled. We
were under the impression that
General Ames was the Provisional
Governor, but as he rendered the
position to General Alcorn, he
must certainly have been removed,
since we know of no law by which
Mississippi is entitled to two Gov.
errors. Wehave heard Of no new
appointment since it was declined
by General Alcorn, therefore, we
presume, the position is vacant, and
from present appearances seems
to be going a begging. Who
wants to be Governor of Mississip.
piY Hero's.a position to be filed.

a LIBRARY FOR THE CRY HOsPIT.
Abr. Yeomans, who has charge
Of this Hospital, is earnestly en-
deayOring 10 raise by contributions
and subscriptions, books enough to
compose a. library for the use of
the patients. His object is deserv.
ing Of our hearty cooperation, and
VIC cordially endorse the project as
worthy Of the kind consideration
Of our community.
We are informed that there are
only a half dozed well worn books
at the hospital to represent a libra
ry, and these the unfortunate sui.
ferers read with eager ayldlty.
Few Of us who are In the enjoy
ment Of good health and have our
minds absorbed by many cares, can
sympathise with the unutterable
sense Of WEAKNESS and Loneliness,
that Expresses those condemned to
4 sick chamber, or to confinement
from III health.
Il Is not 90 bad when one has
kind friends about him, and when
everything is cheerful and pleas
ant, with social converse, and
those attentions which we find On-
ly at home. At q public hospital,
be they ever SO kind, Inc time will
pass heavily hour after hour,
and day by day, and IL such pa.
tieAts could have access to Il re-
spectacle library, it would proba-
bly, not only tighten the burthen of
sickness, but assist materially in eff
feeting a cure.
We call upon our good people
who are always ready to respond
to appeals for the sick Or needy, to
contribute books Or money for the
purpose indicated, Give one or
two or three books as il may be
convenient. Or give money to
help purchase books. Books or
money can be left at the book
stores Of Woodruff Or Clarke. We
hope DR.. YeOmans, who is an eff
cient physician and surgeon and an
agreeable gentleman, viii meet
with complete success in his kind
efforts to establish a Hospital Ii.

In seems that Territorial Legislatures aud

very light taxes, Jet business is so dull
there that there is a regular hegira of her
people into the St.ses where we have a
high tariff and heavy taxes. If free trade
eonfers so many blessings on a people as its
advocates declare, the Canadians must be a
very stupid people to run away from the
