HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, September 10.-The
immense crowd which attended the opening
! debate between the Hon. Van II. Manning
| and General James r. Chalmers in this city,
on last Saturday, and the breathless attention
with which they listened, as we'll as the
presence of so many distinguished statesmen,
formed not only high personal compliment
to the speakers, but proved also the impor-
lance of the present campaign and the pro-
found interest with which il is regarded by
all classes of citizens. The universal delight
| of the Democrats at the result of the debate,
| and the manifest chagrin of both Green
hackers aud Republicans, appear TO have
been too much for the equanimity of their
| chief Neither candidate appeared at Ashland
on Monday, much to the disappointment
of the large crowd which had as
sembled 10 hear them. Indeed, many who
had come from a great distance we're angry
| SIS well as disappointed. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that this was General Ch al
| mers's appoint ment; that Colonel Manni Dg
| was simply invited to meet him, and that it
was not incumbent upon Colonel Manning
| to be present when he knew that the man
who made the appointment had deliberately
broken it. Colonel Manning spoke for two
hours to an audience of 500 people at Canaan,
| In Benton county, on Tuesday, and gained
another victory over Chalmers at Ripley,
1ippah county, the next day. At Canaan
| General Chalmers failed to put in an appear
| ance, and il is not known whether he will
attend Colonel ManniDg's intermediate sp-
pointments or not.
