HOLLY sPRINGs, MISS.
General Chalmers's Speech-Fine Cot

scial Correspondence Of the Appeal

| Special Correspondence Of the Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS, July 28.-The
congressional campaign in this county was
opened in the courthouse in this city at II
o'clock am. last Monday, BY a carefully
prepared and able speech from General
James r. Chalmers. The announcement
that he would speak drew together large
and respectable audience, which for two
hours and a quarter gave its closest
attention to .the orator. His address
was conservative throughout, and was
aimed at all classes of voters who are
opposed to the Democratic party as at
present organized, which party he terms the
Lamar Democracy The speech was de-
livered after the nomination of the Hon.
Van 81. Manning had become a certainty,
and yet he mentioned this gentleman's name
but once, and then but incidentally. The
burden of his battle was against Lamar, but
what his antagonism to Lamar had to do
with his race for Congress in this district he
failed to say. One OF the most remarkable
sins of omission in his speech was that he
said not one werd upon one of the
grsyest questions now before the peo-
pie OF the whole country-the protective
tariff. But, taken as a whole, The most
remarkable element Of his speech was lis
profound egotism. 1t viii not be long be-
fore Congress viii adjourn, and Colonel
Manning will then join his willy opponent in
his canvass of the district, and General
Chalmers will find him a foeman worthy OF
his best steel. II is now believed that the
opposition to the Democratic party in this
district will nominate no candidate, but will
unite upon Chalmers, as far, of course, as
such discordant elements are able to unite
at all. Our best informed politicians all
agree that the election will be one of the
moet fiercely contested ever held in the State.
Every man in Marshzll county is inter-
esied, either directly or indirectly, In agri-
culture, and especially IN raising cotton, and
therefore the following facts, which demon
strate what can be accomplished by iatelli-
gent cultivation, deserve the serious and
thoughtful consideration Of every citizen.

THE YAZOO DELTA.
Trip 10 South Delta-The Crops ON
Both Sides OF the River.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
GREENvIILE, MISS, July 25.-Your cor
respondent has recently made a trip through
| the lower delta and met many agreeable
surprises. Along the river on both sides
from here to the mouth of Yazoo, many
marks of the late disastrous flood are still
observable, and Immediately on the banks,
on either side, the crops look spotted, and
perhaps a.majority OF the cotton plantations
are still suffering from sipe-water, though
where the land Is highest the fields present
ae fine an appearance as one could wish.
But as you recede from the river going
either way into the country,
THE APPEARANCE OF THE CROPS
was never surpassed for health and promise
of yield. In Arkansas and Louisiana, as
far down as l have mentioned, the rule holds
good, and in Mississippi the promise of at
least full average crop OF both cotton and
corn is exceptionally good. This is happy
turn to the dreary outlook of three months
ago, and has filled the hearts of our people
with hope tn at starvation and want, as the
result OF the overflow, are indefinitely post
poned. Favorable weather and abundant
rains fori the last two weeks have saved
the corn crop, but many planters express
fear that should the rains continue the cot
ton will attain an oyergrowth of weed which
is not favorable 10 perfect fruitsge, and a
dry, hot August will be necessary TO perfect
the crop. OF course there are contingencies
which may arise to make or mar the present
prospect, as cotton crop is never a GER
tainty until it is in the bale. Fruit OF
almost every description is abundant and
fine throughout the late overlooked district
This fact is an establishment 10 almost every
body, as il was generally thought that over
flows meant no fruit. Vegetables are also
but later than in former years. l |
