Il from an Appeal CorrS> ponOenI
WINoNA, April 7-Barring tive or three
storms OF severe form, but of short dura
tiOn, this section OF Mississippi has been for
| several weeks highly favored IN the matter OF
/ a genial Springhms, and IN appreciation OF
/ such a blessing the planters, who are most
I interested IN the practical benefits RESULTING
| from the suit, have sought fer and obtained,
as tar as an honest and earnestly applied
labor could avail, every benefit RCcrping there
,roDl, As result, the fields SliSteued with
the pride OF labor, and evidenced the germ
OF an ample reward, but alas for the pleas
ures OF hope. there came a blight to mar aud
blacSen the clear and inviting prospective.
Daring the nights OF the third and fourth
current, q frost covered the land, which nip
ped the young corn shoots severely but not
destrOotlvely, ret0rdlng the growth, and to
tins extent initiating against the best inter
sStS OF the country, and It Is feared by those
most skilled IN the culture that the peach
crop IS IN part, II not IN whole, destroyed.
Coutentmeuy Is q cardinal virtue, and to cul.
OF wlsdom--a wisdom which, if rightly d.
gected and applied, eyentuateS IN a moral
as well as q physical health. WI.
mona prospers apace, the health Of
! her OdweOerS continuing to rank
very good, and her merchants. who are now
ahve to the necessities O. y weli-reSulated
trade, are busy IN the receipt and SOrtment
OF their spring goods. The well-being Of
WlnCua, viewed through her varied interests,
may be safely quoted as being IN a very
healthy condition We were visited lately
by the Helen D'ESSs dramatic troupe, who
acted we'll their parts to appreciative audi
enceS, IN the spacious and elegant hall
erected during the past year by our enter
prlSlug commercial firm of Witty K Bro.
The troupe was very respectable IN manner
as IN matter, and went hence we'll pleased at
the generous reception melted out to them by
the WlnOnIanS. The report so extensively
and lnduStriOuSly circulated by a portion of
the press, touching an interview said to have
been had with Elk President Davis by a cor
respondent or the Boston Herald, was moth
ing more than a cdRGy'd: 1t originated IN
malice. and was published by the Herald
with a malignant intent and purpoSe-tbere
Is not Scintllla of truth in the report, and
write adviSe6y these words Of denial. Hav-
ing made mention Of WinOna's general
healthful condition, l must not forget to add
IN connection that we have presently with us
Elder e. X. Marshall, of HopkinsvIlle, Ken
lucky, who Is ministering IN = series
Of dlScourses to his brethren of
the Christian church; others than they
go up 10 Zion to listen to his able
mlnlStrations; his style is crnatey
plain; his manner of delivery highly effective,
because we'll ordered and earnestly emphatic;
ms knowledge OF scriptural truth overflow
ing, and he proclaims the gospel with an
unct,On that tells plenteOuSly OF his present
worth and usefulness, and bespeaks for him
future personal fame and an abundant
trultOge to those whom he seeks to enlist
under the banner OF the cross. The consttu-
euts OF Hon, Il. ID. Money have had recently
u-Sb cause to q renewal Of esteem for him:
for, not being content to watch well and
faithfully their interests in all that pertains
to their local welfare, he has, through q zeal
for the oountry's good, turned his attention
TO an investigation of frauds in the executive
departments Of the government. For such
fidelity he Is receiving, as he so eminently
merits, the thanks OF the overburdened tax
payers from every part OF the country where
honesty yet abldes. The uneartblng of the
gigantic freud connected with the mail route
from Fort Worth, Texas, to Yuma, Arizona,
has brought Mr.. Money, more than ever,
prominently before the country, and constr
tuted HIM as the able and honest successor of
those sterling patriots, Houston, OF Alabama,
Jones, OF Tennessee, aud Letcher, of Vir-
gInia, who were IN their day, as representa-
hves IN congress, styled the "watchdoys of
1.-the treasury and we'll IL it for the peoples
money which is deposited within the doors of
the public Treasury, that now swing so loosely
on their hinges, that one so faithful in all
things as Mr.. Money, sits watch and ward at
the main door; for such fidelity his reward is
already complete In the plaudltS of well done
that com'S from the Democratic press from
the PenobScOt to the Sacramento The
friends Of the APPEAL hereabouts continue
their respect and esteem toward Ii for It's
talthfulneSs to punciple in domestic as well
as IN national affairs, and wish for it an I'M
interrupted course OF prosperity.
