No to each question. A soldier having an honor-

WILLOWS FOR FENCE POSTS.

One of the most extensive farmers in the
Eastern States makes practice of setting viii
low cuttings for fence posts When grown sufi-
ciently high he cuts of the tops, which opera
tion is repeated occasionally, VIXEN needed from
year to year, to keep the tree within bounds.
He tried this ut first ON low ground whore dead
posts quickly rotted or were upheaved, but as
part of the fence line ran up on high lands he
tried the cuttings there also. It was little
more trouble in getting them to grow ON high
dry land but once started, the trees make sutli-
cient growth. OF late years his upland willow
fence posts have given least trouble, as they

Concurrent Resolution-Instructin Sena-
tors and requesting Representatives in
Congress from Mississippi, in relation
to the regulation of interstate COM
merce:
introduced by Senator Sykes, read
twice and referred to Railroad Committee.
Committee recommend it do not pass.
1st Vhereas, We recognize and appre-
ciate the value and importance of railroads,
and have no disposition 10 retard their
growth or to do them any wrong or injury,
but are cognizant of the fact that there is
great and growing complaint in Mississippi
in regard to alleged unjust determinations
and exhorbitant charges made by railroads
for the transportation Of persons or prop
erty and
End. sIFhseas, BY the conflicting decis-
ions of 4ho States, and Federal Courts, it
remains in doubt whether transportation
commencing in one State and ending i'm
another; or, commencing in one State,
passing through another and ending in a
third, is subject to control by the Legisla-
lures of the several States into or through
which it passes; or whether such commerce
would, as interst tie commerce be held to
be national in its nature and therefore ad-
nit of but one uniform system or plan Of
regulation 70 be enacted by the general
government; and
3D. Whercas, The better, and weight Of
authority appears to be, that Congress
alone has power under the Constitution of
the United States to regulate interstate
commerce, and to fr and hntt The charges
for transportation thereon; and,
4th. Wasreds, The subject has become
one OF practical Importance to the COM
MERGE and business of the whole country.
as manifested by the timely expressions in
relation to it by the President Of the Uni
ted States, and the Governor of Mississip-
ri, in their recent messages; therefore,
Be il resolucd By the Legislature Of The
State Of Mississippi, That our Senators in
| Congress be instructed, and our Repre-
sentatives be requested to exert their infu-
ence to secure the passage of law by
Congress, to regulate interstate commerce
and the charges for fare and freight there
on. which shall be just and equitable to
railroad corporations and TO the people.
| Resolged, 2nd That the Secretary of the
State be instructed 10 forward certified
copies of these resolutions to our Senators
and Representatives in Congress.

The Bertha Welby Company.

This company gave an excellent per-
Torrance at the Opera House last evening.
solver Twist" was preceded by two acts
of "The Hunchback," and it was almost
impossible to believe that "Julia' and
Nancy Skies" were represented by the
same person Miss Welby is certainly mas
ter of her profession, and so worked her
self into the good graces OF our people that
she will surely be welcomed by big
house" whenever she favors us with visit
Her support was also excellent, Mr.. Hazel
rigg being thoroughly conversant with the
characters she represented. Mr.. Howard,
as we predicted, more than made up for
his conception of "Armand's" father, OF the
night before, and as "Master Walter in
the "Hunchbach" and "Fagin" in SOLVER
Twist" he is undoubtedly a big success.
The other members of the company are
artists in their lines, and all in all, the
Bertha Welby Company is one of the best
we have ever seen, and decidedly the best
that has yet held the boards OF Whites
Opera House. We sincerely hope they

torment and removal to more suitable
resting place Of the remains of such Of
the dead of the 7th, 9th. 10ih, 29th and
44th Mississippi Regiments as fell in the
battle Of Mumfo7dsyille, Ky, September
l4sh, 1862.
introduced By Senator Sykes. and made
special order for Wednesday, January 2Sd,
IL a. u.
WhereaS In the fatal and unfortunate
battle of Mnmfordsville. on Green river,
Kentucky, on the l4th Of September, 1852,
quite number OF soldiers from MissisSip-
pi, belonging to the 7th, 9Th, 10th, 18th and
i4th Mississippi Regiments, gave up their
lives in the service Of the State, and by
their gallsntry and unseIfsh devotion TO
the eanse to which the State had pledged
its sacred honor reflected new and enduring
lustre upon its name; and.
WkereaS, Mr.. James Smith. of Glasgow,
Scotland, once an honored citizen of Mis-
sissippi, and now, as always, interested in
everything that contributes to The glory Of
her history, has purchased a spot on the
ield OF action prominent in position near
he railroad, which, at his own expense, il
low walled in, and a cenotaph, some twenty
Feet high, and of fifteen to twenty tons
weight, is being firmly fixed on the site as
an imperishable mark of the place of sac
riiice, with the simple inscription: Street
ed in memory of the sacrifice of the Tenth
Mississippi Regiment, commanded by Col.
Robert A. Smith, and has generously Of
fered to any who are interested with the
remains of those of the 7th, 9th, 10th, 29th
and 44th, and other Mississippi Regiments
which lie buried on and near the field of
action, TO deposit their remains within the
massive enclosure; and,
Whereas, Individual enterprise on the
part Of those who have relatives among
those fallen heroes may be inadequate to
the task of properly transferring their re-
mains to the enclosure where they would
forever rest under the shadow of the mono
iithic monument erected to commemorate
their valor and tragic fate, and where their
honored ashes would be safe from intrusion
or disturbance for all time; and,
Whereas, Their disinterment and remov-
81, if entrusted to the care of a safe, rolf
able citizen Of the vicinity under the su-
pervision of the authorities of this State,
could be judiciously performed, and at a
comparatively small expense to the State /;
therefore,
BE Il reso'rel BY the Legislature Of he STATE
Of Mississippi, That the sum of FIVE hundred

may be necessary, be and the same is here
by appropriated out of any money in the
state Treasury, not otherwise appropria-
ted, for the purposes recited in the fore
going preamble; the Auditor to issue his
warrants therefor on the requisition of the
Governor, and that the Governor be re-
quested to correspond with Anthony L.
Woodsen, of Woodsonville, KY, and make
snch arrangements with him, or other suit
able persona, as may be deemed advisable,
for the removal of the dead and erecting
suitable white marble slabs, one each to the
dead of the several regiments so renter

Miss Bertha Welby as "Julia" in the
'Hancabacb" pleased a large audience at
the Opera House last evening. Her rendi-
ton Of the character is excellent. She
adapts herself to the different scenes Of joy
and grief with realistic effect, and her voice
is changed readily to the different shades
Of feeling. The selection of her wardrobe
was excellent, and her diamonds, costing in
the aggregate about $1,000, shown with
dazzling bril'iancy. Her support was Of

pertinent. VIII the Legislature now in
