CONDITION OF MISSISSIPPI.

Much has been said of the length Of
the late message Of Governor Alcorn, Of
Mississippi. Long as it is, it has been
read by the editors of New York, and
found to possess vast amount Of relia-
BILE information concerning the affairs OF
that State. The World furnishes a syn
opsis, from which it appears that cotton
has fallen off sixty-three per cent. from
its yield in 1860; corn, sixty-fve per
cent. hogs, si1ty-fve; wheat, eighty-six;
sweet potatoes, sixty-four; peas and
beans, eighty-nine; and home manufae
lures. sixty-two. Whether a deficiency

in every direction. Dwelling after dwell
ing was deyoured, and in an hour nearly
the whole square, bounded by Carson,
Bingham and Third and Fourth streets,
was huge mass Of flames, Many fam.

moving the valuable portion Of their
household goods. The flames were
checked about halfpast eight o'clock.
The citizens in the neighborhood have
kindly provided shelter for the sufferers.
II is impossible at this time to give the
names of losers, owing to the great con-
fusion; the loss can only be conjectured
although it will reach about $4,000, on
which there is a partial insurance,
The ERE is supposed to be the work OF
an incendiary, although it is asserted
by some that the FIRE broke out in the
machine shop adjoining the stable. The
general opinion, however, is that it orig

by the torch of the incendiary.

MEMPHIS THKATER.-Quite large at
tendance was at the theater last night to
enjoy the singing of the far-famed Rus
sian Opera Troupe The entertainment
was charming musical treat, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all musical peo-
pie present. The national songs of Rus
STA, with full chorus, were finely rendered
by the troupe. Mr.. Rajridle, a cele-
brated solo-tenor singer, was deservedly
encored. His voice is pure, and cult
waited to the highest degree. The mag
nifcent basso, Mr. Prymaezenko, gave a
startling exhibition of his wonderful
voice, which in depth, tone and compass
cannot possibly be excelled, Tonight
the Russian Opera Troupe will give their
second and last concert, at which all the
fashionable, musical and cultivated peo-
pie of our city will, no doubt, be present
