THE Meridian Mercury, on good au-
thority, makes the following statement
in reference to the new Revenue Collec-
tor, Mr. James Hill, for this State:
Some of his appointees are Democrats one
of them "a son of our esteemed friend Gen. T.
]. Wharton. Judge Hancock, for this district
will give very general satisfaction to all sorts Of
people. Instead of getting people into
trouble and prosecutions on account of
violation of L. S. revenue laws, his
aim is always to help them to avoid it when
liable to fall into through ignorance OF the
laws. His purpose is to collect the revenue
faithfully without acting the spy to get up false
prosecutions to harass the people and make
fees for marshals and other officers, as some of
his predecessors have done. We need only
mention Wells, the renegade and writer
OF libels against people he made it his chief
concern to harass and malign. We credi-
bly, informed that Mr. Hill has made his ap-
pointments of different class of men who are
in accord and sympathy with the people who
pay the revenues"

On Thursday night as the mail train on the
Jackson Road was going North, when within
about three miles of Hazlehurst and on a high
embankment the engine jumped the track,
plunging down the bank-some fifteen feet high
followed by the tender, mail, baggage and
second class cars. Fortunately, the ladies'
and Pullman cars, in which most of the pas
sengers were seated, did not leave the track:
The engineer, Andrew Caldwell, stuck to his
post and was thrown between the engine and
tender and instantly killed. The fireman
jumped and escaped almost uninjured All
the trainmen or passengers who were in the
coaches that went over escaped with but few
trihing bruises, except the express messenger,
who was somewhat cut about the face
