Uncle George Harper, the veteran
editO, OF the Raymond Gazette, says !:
awe live among people among
whom Gen. F"Ote lived for u
quarter of a century, and in their
presence to day we can assert that
Gov. Foote was never a Wing, never
a Know knO,hing, never simply a
Union man, never n SecessiOnist,
and never Republican, as we of
Mississippi understand that name.
Gov. FOote, amid all the political
changes of the last thirty years, has
always claimed TO he jackson
Democrat" aud in adhering to hr
principles aud measures enunciated
by the Hero of New Orleans, we are
not prepared TO say that he has not
been more consistent and patriotic,
and Il better friend of the peaceand
prosperity of the Southern people,
than the great body of windy ora
tors who have stood ready to heap
infamy upon his name. We have
never agreed with Gov. Foote
politically, but We scout thu. idea

not touch the public heart; it has
little pathos, feeling or warmth,
save a warmish flush that pervades
1t, like the tint we sometimes sre

AS a poem, simply. it probably de-
serves the prize. 1t is skilfulIy and

IN elaborate and ia intricate phrase
and word building, and though it
does not appeal TO the popular
feeling Of gratitude, so spontaneous
ly universal In the South, it will
challenge the admiration of the

Columbus IndeN.l
The ioint Commission on conta>
gious aud infectious diseases, met
on the 20 b ult.. in the CITY of New
Orleans, attended with thirteen
medical men ia experts. 1t is 10 b"
hoped, that since Con grtss has taken
this matter iii hand, that the work
will be done thoroughly, and that
much good will result from their
-cleut Iiic Investigations. There Is
perhaps no disease in the world, OF
such common prev nee. and ="
destructive to human life, about
which the medical fraternity seen
to know 81 little. They differ IA TO
IFS cause. it's mode of treatment. and
the remedies necessary tor it's pir
yentiOn 1t was believed for long
time, that it WAS IL disease imported
into this country. and c'tinn+d Il"
the Southern seabna'd, and That it
would not flourish in the Interior.
But of late ears the fact has been
sufficiently developed, that hardly
any portion of the country is
exempt from it ana The destruction
of life in the interior, has been equal,
If not greater than that o. the
seaboard. The accepted theory stllI
is, that it. is imported into the
country, though, there are few
s--ms to he impossible, from II
diagnosis of the disease, to arrive
at any satisfactory result towards
II solution of the problem. And
hence the Committee have gone 20
work, at a season OF the year, whr"
there il no fever, to- try ard ascrr
tain, through other means, some
thing that might throw some lighT
on the subject.
New Orleans is a proper place
tor them to go, ;at all events il Is d,
favorite place for Congressional
Commit ees at present, rhr,e being
no less than three there-a Senate
Committee House Committee,
and a joint Committee where they
will get more accurate statistics and
better information, from men OF
large experience with the disease.
1t would not perhaps be exceeding
their powers to visit the city OF
Vera Cruz, where they have the
s'VOEita," all the year round, and
there enlarge the field Ut their in
vestigafiOns.
Outside of report containing
Statistics, and of accounts derived
from the Information of medical
men, We are inclined TO think, thar
very little good will be- accomplish
ed unless their report be favorable
To a general quarantine system, by
the Government. There sh"nid
have been one years ago; and, the
import nce of which, has been TO"
manifest. to need the report OF
Committee TO make it 81. And If
the Committee accomplish no ether
good, than that of n uniform system
ut quarantine by the General Gov
eminent, they will have discharged
their duty, and the country ought
to he sat SIZED. The impe, feet quar-
autiue, heretofore, enforced, has
depended upon the uncertain action
of municipal authorities. who have
often times failed on account of the
want OF means to carry il out aud
the proper encouragement from
their neighbors in cuncert of
action.
Let US have n National quarantiD.
system for the coasts and for places
over which the District Coutts tx
rrcis- admiralty jurisdiction and
the different STATES can mHnag,
their own internal affairs, and adopt
such regulations IA they see proper.
