iralion would comprehend tho qses-
ton Of our commerce IN oil its length
ard breadth That IL would grasp
the idea Of a aourisbiug Seaport, a
Commercial Emporium for the State
That il would arouse from liz indii-
and come TO the aid Of our
energetic business men. That 1t
would lend its assistance IN giving TO
.Pascagoula her just dues,-what
rightfully and legally belongs toit /:
and then an increased trade would
return 10 increased revenues,
10 the State, the amount which she
generously donated ; and so OF the
National Government, if it would
make the appropriation recommend
ID. Had the provisions, made in this
direction by the Legislature Of 1873,
lnder the late State administration,
lot been interfered with, already
would it have been bearing rich fruits,
which the State would have been
gathering in, to her benefit. The
Governor and Secretary OF State are
nembers of the Commission TO take
barge of and eypend the fund which
be legislature oil 1878 appropriated.
s it not their duty to test the legal
y Of the Act which repealed tie Act
f Appropriation?
We thank Moderator-who is I'M.

avs the Pascagoula STAR: he com-
rehends and appreciates this matter,
nd its State and National impor.

riul and influential pen to a measure
-hich is of such immense Importance

,quetting with the morning breeze.
udaeniy yon find yourself on the bank
a broad. deep, beautiful stream that
ou have not been prepared for by any
geography Of Mississippi. II is the Es-
s-taw-ba, or Dog river, CURING gently

nest pine forests in the world, and the
onfthe bsyous and lagoons inter
'ticulated with them, are stocked With
press, juniper, vhite-oak and hickory
gigantic growth. The traveller stands
