From our Special Oorrespondent.l
CORINTH. Miss, August 13.-Work-
men are sWarming like bees around
the cotton and wOOlen factory, and
we NAV reasonably expect this inn
posing edifice to be completed in a
few months, ready for the machinery,
which has been purchased in Eng
land, and thus with the buZ of spin
ming jennies, theaddition of some five
hundred operatives to the working
population of the town, g new era OF
prosperity can safely be predicted.
THE WIssLER CASE.
The man Wissler, not satisfied with
the result of his examination before
the examining court, which held him
in a bond of two thousand dollars for
his ap ppesrsnce at the next term Of the
Circuit Court, applied for and obtained
a wilt of hd5eGS corpus, and had full
and patient hearing before the Circuit
Judge OF this district, Judge Orlando
Davis, than whom there is no more
sble iurist in North Mississippi, re-
sulting disastrOusly to his (Wissler's)
hopes, for instead of being discharged,
as was his boast, Judge Davis increas-
ed his bond to five thousand dollars,
which he has thus far failed TO give,
and is now occupying chambers in our
new county hotel. How the mighty
have fallen.
hUNICIPAL CANVASS.
We have quite lively time in our
little city over our municipal canvass.
Candidates are coming out thick as
leaves in NalambrOsia. In tact, the
disease is epidemic. 1t has been so
cOnfOunded long since we have had an
election in these benighted parts that
most folk have gone mad, and insist
on thrusting themselves upon the COM
munity each with the cry, Behold, l
am the Moses" We have the solid
voting power to crush Radicalism If
we handle our resources with fair
discretion, and it will be Il lasting
shame if we so scatter our forces as to
allow our enemies to carry the day
with a minority.
THE CUMBERLAND CHU RICH.
Our Cumberland Presbyterian
friends are conducting a refreshing re-
Vivsl in our city, and much interest is
manifested. We are already justly
celebrated as Christian community,
and the hope is that the few ungOdly
among US will be brought 10 proper
sense Of their condition and embrace
the present opportunity OF correcting
their walk in life. AprOpOs to
this, the aforementioned sect
are erecting most elegant
church building, which, when
completed, will be an ornament to
the place that any inland city might
well be proud of. Also the Old School
Presbyterians have almost completed
4 large and cOmm0dius church-hOuse,
not so ornamental as the Cumberland
Presbyterian building, but yet very
tasty. When these two houses are
finished, our church facilities will
equal those Of much more pretentiOus
places.
THE CROP PROSPECTS.
Crop prospects never were better.
The season ia the outset, though un-
favorable, did not infiict an injury that
the pluck, energy and muscle OF our
farmers could not overcome, and the
prospects now are as favorable, il not
more so, than any season since the
war. And in casting the crops, corn
was planted more largely than usual,
and there will be a superabundance
for home consumption produced, with
some TOR market.
FRUIT RAISING.
Our people have for the last few
years been paying much attention to |
fruit raising, purchasing the finest va |
rieties OF tested fruits, and as a cOnse-
queuce, our fruit market is as good as |
there Is the Union. We have pears |
weighing over a pound; apples Of like
size; peaches, grapes, etc, meltingly |
delicious, and 50 cheap as to be within |
the reach Of our poorest people.
