Dear lullctiu: .
We landed in this isolated spot last
Thursday, and from that time to thi.
have been wondering if you were still
having hot weather, such as we had when
We left Cairo. The weather Is so cool here
that summer clothes are drag, aud thick
coats, vests and pants are really necessary
tocomfort indeed the weather is such y. we
have in Cairo in October.
We foaad, upon our arrival, that every
nook and corner was full, and numbers
were being turncl away every day for the
want Of places to stay and had i. not been
for our old friend Cnp,. Todd, and his nc.
commodating family, we should have
found no place to hang up. But, thanks
to them, although full, they took US to
their house aud in little while beds were
prepared in the rarlor and We were "Hxed." !"
After being here few days and enjoy
ing the cool weather it is hard to realize
that YOU are suffering with heat, and that
the wcallgr is not cool in Cairo "a here.
There are some three or four hundred Wis.
itors here, and there would be more If ac-
comodations were 10 be had; but enterprise
Is the one thing that is hacking here most
sadly. Your paper Of the ist Of August got
here yesterday, being only six days comm &
but so It IL. Tho mail comes TO Chicago,

Railroad Movements n Mississippi
The jackson Pilot of the thirteenth says:
The Senate got on its railroad clothes
yesterday. Il passed the Meridian and
Riverside road, the same we spoke OF some
days ago-passipg through Woodville. in
Wilkinson county, and on to the mouth of
Red river, Louisiana. This is good road,
and, as We have before said, in will be
built, because there are men connected
with it that never say fail.
Then, the Jackson and Natchez road.
This is an important road, and we are
decidedly in favor of its being built, and
We are assured it will be.
The Houston and Grenada Road we are
not SO we'll acquainted with. If it is a
part or branch of the Eylton road, of
which we spoke yesterday, it is all right.
and we hope it will be built. The Vicks-
burg and Meridian railroad bill, which
passed the House on Monday last, ex.
tending the road to the river, is on the
calendar to-day. Of course this bill will
pass, as it ought to, and if the people of
Vlcksburg have any regard for the pros
perity Of their own city and don't want
to drive the trade of the country away
from them forever, they had better make
no further opposition to this measure.
The Mobile and Great Northern Rail-
road, passing diagopally from the point
named through our State to a point opo-
site Helena, Arkansas, was referred to a
special committee of three, with instruc.
ton to report tomorrow.
The Vicksburg, Yazoo Valley and Gren-
ada Railroad bill passed the Senate. Also
the Vicksburg and Canton Railroad bill.
The general railroad bill was taken up in
the Senate and postponed.

Sheridan's pets made short work of
some persons Of an inquiring turn of
mind. who, in company with Professor
Roesler, recently wendell their way TO the
mouth of the Little Wichita river, there to
make geographical survey. Unlike
Cowper's Alexander Selkirk, they were by
no. means monarchs of all the surveyed,
for, while engaged in their laudable work,
a party of Indians sailed forth against
them, nor was it long before two citizens
OF Collin county in the command felt their
hair, which had risen slightly with fright,
yerked from the tops of their heads and
leave them forever. The Professor was
so despatched with their blood that the
Indians thought he was dead, and merely
punched him with sticks and pricked him
with arrows. Then the guard came up
and put the savages to yelling fight and
with whoop and bound they bowled
off in northerly direction. The Profess
sor himself is now at Waco with copper
ore and some fossils.

his first visit, that illustrates his youthful
Britishism. He stopped at the Calf

character and influence, the intimate
of Clay, Crittenden and all the worthless.
Dickens had not been stopping there long
