THE Vicksburg Herald calls for an
other investigation I'VE hope a reso-
luton will be introduced to ask the
president why troops are quartered in
Mississippi in a time of profound
peace. There are troops at Vicksburg,
Port Gibson, jackson, Summit and
Holly Springs. Why are they here =?
There is no more use for them here
than there is for them in the most
peaceable county in any Northern
State. Peace reigns supreme, the Leg
islature is in session, the constitution,
the reconstruction acts, and the laws
are fully respected, and the people are
busily engaged in the useful avocations
of life, yet these soldiers are quartered
amongst us under no orders whatever.
When the company reached Port Glib
son, the commanding officer, it is said,
was so surprised at the aspect of affairs
in the quiet, peaceable, interior town,
that he wrote back to his superior Off
Ger to know if he had not mistaken his
instructions in going to Port Gibson.
Yet the soldiers still remain there, and
in other portions of the State. What
they are here for, and how long they
are to be kept here, are questions that
should be at once satisfactorily answer
ed to Congress by the executive. Ifthey
are to be kept here to attempt to infu-
ence the presidential election, the soon
er the law-abiding people of the whole
country are made aware of the fact the
better. Certainly the House should
know why they are here, before it votes

It is strange, but nevertheless true.
that many people have gotten sort Of
vague idea into their minds that some
way or other we can manage to be re-
lieved from the financial troubles that
oppress the State, withoutany material
increase of the taxes. There seems to
be a growing opinion thatthere is some
solution of the difficulty within the
reach of our statesmen, which will be
easy upon the taxpayers. We fear
that all this talk about a compromise
is lulling the people into d state of re-
pose and fancied security. Their
minds are diverted from the bare facts
Of the case, and the resistless logic of
the situation, by the ingenious schemes
that are being presented, which have
for their object the evasion, rather
than the payment'of our State debt
By this we do not mean to say that re-
pudiation is coming into favor, for,
although some OF the plans suggc csted, !,
upon which some of the people seem
to hang hope, are but modified forms
of Reputation, we believe that at the
bottom of the popular heart, there is
an abiding consciousness and a depre-
eating sense Of the wrong that would
be perpetrated by any such action

method which proposes TO relieve

THE BRIEF PARTING.


The following beautiful lines were writ
ten by a little Miss oftwelve summers. The,
deserve careful perusal. and would do cred
it to an older head:
Where the slender waving branches
OF the weeping willows fall
In a coin white and tiny,
They laid a figure small.
The face was wondrous lovely,
And q smile DER it was spread,
And we could not help but marvel
At the the beauty of the dead.
The snow-white hands were folded.
On the little quiet breast,
And they softly bent to kiss her
AS they laid her down to rest.
But whiie-the mother sorrowed,
With heart so full of woe,
Came a sound like an angels whisper
Murniurings tepderly and low
al Will. take your little darIing,'
The gentle Jesus cried
stI will fold her to my BOSOM
And keep her nearmy side.
"The Father soon win call for thee.''
The white robed angel said
"And thou wilt dwell no more on earth
But sleep with the silent dead"
And ere long the mothers spirit,
Took its flight far, far away
To dwell v ith Christ, and her little one,
In the realms of endless day.
