Colonization Of southern Negroes.


Tn view Of Seuator Wlnuo,n's schcme for
colonlzing Southern negroes upon tbs public
land, tho Vtcksburg Herald {Dem.) addresses
tho ncerocs Of Mississippi and earnestly appeals
to them not to bo led away BY such a dea!re. As
an iuducement for tllon to stay In the atate, tho
Herald says: "Yot, will scu nj tbs election noxt
fail largu majority Of tho wh!le pcopa III favor
Of giving you full fair play, and representation
IN tho ol.iros Of tho Stats in proportion to tl.e
Intelligent and capable amonE you. Public

THE RAILROAD.

In round numbers, elk hundred Of the tax
paying citizens Of this county petitionRd the
Comfy Court for an extension of time for
the completion OF tho o. V. and s. X, Rail-
road from Upton to Versailles, The petit
tiuners are men of sense, property and In
Ouence. It was gotten up with very little
effort, and merely TO show the County that
there was but little, II any, opposition to tie
extension. On Tuesday a motion was hled
in the Court, asking that the petitioners be al-
lowed TO be heard In the matter; and the
Court sat yesterday morning iOr that pur-
pose, Yesterday morning, Judge Rose, Hon.
A. w. Anthony and Col. Stoyer, addressed
The Court IN favor of the extension. The
Court admitted the benefits OF the road; our
necessity for an outlet. and transportation OF
surplus produots; the increase in property,
wealth, aud 80 iorth;,bu two members said
their objection was, thai they had not the
power 10 grant the extension--that 1t was,
Ia eject, j new subscription. Thereupon,
Mr.. Anthony proposed to,hle with them the
written opinion OF the Versailles bar, that
they had such aulhity, and thatit was neither
in fact, nor 10 effect, new subscriptionj and
