ferring their remains to the enclosure
where they would forever rest under
the shadow of the monolithic monu-
ment erected to commemorate their
valor and tragic fate, and where their
honored ashes would be safe from in
trusion Or disturbance for all time ;and
Whereas, Their disinterment and
removal, if entrusted to the care of a
safe, reliable citizen of the vicinity
under the supervision of the authori-
ties of this State, would be judiciously
performed, and at a comparatively
small expense to the State; therefore,
Be it resolved by the Legislature
of the State of Mississippi, That the
sum of five hundred dollars, or as
much thereof as may be necessary, be
and the same is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the State Treas
ury, not otherwise appropriated, for
the purposes recited in the foregoing
preamble; the Auditor to issue his
warrant therefor on the requisition of
the Governor and that the Governor
be requested to correspond with An
thony L. Woodsonsen, of Woodville,
KY, and make such arrangements
with him, or other suitable person, as
may be deemed advisable, for the re-
moval Of the dead and erecting suita-
BILE white marble slabs, upon which
shall be engraven the names Of such
as can be ascertained, one each to
the dead Of the several Regiments SC
reinforced.
Be it further resolved, That this
resolution take effect from and after
its passage.

A Government that Disd:sins 10
be Governed by the laws IL
Forces It's Sab ects to obey.

Now that our Government is in need
OF strong, sound and safe ships for the
Greeley relief expedirion-to go into the
Arctic seas daring the dangers of ice
bergs anil treacherous foes, the Secre-
tary Of the Navy doas not hesitate to
enter the British market and buy the
whaling vessels "Thetis" and Bear,
transfer them to American registry and
hoist the American flag upon the foreign
built ships captured by American dol
lns III the port of Dundee, and add them
10 our Naval establishment. But if al
American merchant proposes like his
government to buy ships where he eau
spend his money to best ,dvnntage, he
is confronted by navigation laws that
dsny them American registry and forbid
him to fly the American flag from then
mastheatls. What stupid inconsistency
and folly.

The present Congressional Librar,
hes shelf room forest, coo volumes, while
it had gu hand on the first Of January
5l3, AL volumes Of book; 50 600 vnlu
able pamphlets, and tens of thousands Of
manuscripts aud other documents fer
some Of which the government had ex.
pended large sums Of money. III 1882
the library gained SO, 900 volumes, and
the annual increase promises to be emo =
nous. A urge proportion of this grand
collection-one of the greatest i'll the
worlds stored away in vaults and dingy
cavsrns all over the capital and is not
only practically useless but suffering
damage from mould ard dust Will,
Congress battles and deiberates over
the question of new accommodations. "
Tie question at issue is us to whether
the Capital shall be enlarged to meet the
demands Of the library, or 'specia
erected in the vicinity. Both plans have
their warm advocates, and it is more than
likely that the latter would have been
adopted long ago but for the schemir g
OF land spectators who are seeking to
profit by the location.
BY the way this is not the only library
in the capital building. Ii contains tn,
immense law library Of Congress one
Of the largest collections Of legal lore i
existence-and the libraries of the Sen
ate md House of Representatives, each
Containing many thousands of volumes
reports, text books, ste. Iu addition to
these oil of the leading committee rooms
are provided with libraries more or less
extensive, and in some instances EN-
bracing collections Of great value, while
the Supreme Court has also an extensive
library in the building.

Robinson, of New York, proposes
constitutional amendment that will
give Congress tie power to levy ex-
port duties. The idea of this bright
genius is to have an export duty Of a
a cent pound on cotton, with view
tc concentrating the manufactures
from this staple, upon American soil,
and thereby increasing the advan-
tages and opportunities of the labor
ers employed in the mills. 1t does
not seem to occur to Mr., Robinson
that an export duty Of cent a
pound upon this Southern product
is virtually a premium Of a cent a
pound offered for the encouragement
of competitive culture in other quar-
ters. He does not seem to realiz'
that a cent a pound, or five dollars a
bale, would be an enormous bonus TO
the Egyptian or East Indian who
chose to embark or re-emb .rk in
cotton culture, and would ultimately
result in building up a formidable
rivalry to onr American industry.
England, if forced to pay a cent a
pound more for cotton than the
American manufacturer pays, would
give it to her own people, and there
is no doubt but that within the limits
of an empire that girdles the world
she can find soil and climate that
under the stimulus of such bonus
would amply supply her spindles and
her looms.
France is sluggish in the production
of cotton in her North African pos
sessions, but an export tax OF a CEN
pound on American cotton would
supply the stimulus that her home
treasury denies, and give her from
the fields of Algiers and Tunis, as
cheap cotton as the South could fur
nish if our staple went from port
tax ridden as Mr.. Robinson proposes.
We are opposed to export taxes in
any shape or form, and above all
others to tax on cotton that can
only serve to building mp and foster
gigantic foreign rivalres to our own
Southern agricultural industries.
Mr.. Robinson had best confne his
talents to the labor of love of "twist-
ing the British lions tall and leave
grave commel cial problems to be
solved and settled by wiser and
steadier minds.

Mississippi Regiment as fell in the
battle of Mumfordsville, KY, Sep
TENDER 18th, 1862.
Whereas, In the fatal and unfor-
tunate battle of Mumfordsville, on
Green river, Kentucky, on the Nth
September, 1862, quite number of
soldiers from Mississippi, belonging
to the 7th, 9th, 10th, both, and 44th
Mississippi Regiments, gave up their
lives in the service of the State, and
by their gallantly and unselfsh devo-
ton to the cause to which the State
had pledged its sacred honor, reflect
ed new and enduring lustre upon its
name; and,
Whereas, Mr.. James Smith, of Glas-
gov, Scotland, once an honored citi-
zen of Mississippi, and now as always
interested in everything that contri-
butes to the glory of her history, has
purchased a spot of the field ofaction
prominent in position near the rail
road, which, at his own expense is
now walled in, and 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 sacrifice, with
the simple inscription: directed in
memory of the sacrifice OF the Tenth
Mississippi Regiment, commanded by
Col. Robert A. Smith," and has gen.

18th, 9th, 10th, Doth, 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,

The recent crushing defeat of the
Egyptian forces under Baker Pasba,
by the followers of I'll Mahdi, the
False Prophet, and the likelihood OF
the revolt in the Soudan becoming
general, will probably force England
to again take the field IN Egypt and
at all hazards reconquer the terrific
ry wrested from the Khedve. II
this policy is adopted it is not likely
that she will mainly rely upon Euro.
pean troops, but availing herself of
the deep seated hatred that exists
between the Hindoos and Mahome>
dams, she will send an immense
army of her East India vassals to
the seat of war, under their own
feudal chiefs and princes, supported
by the flower of her artillery and
cavalry arms, and commanded by her
ablest generals.

WE greatly regret the death of MI.
JOHN j. DoHERTY, City Editor of the
Vicksburg Evening Post, which occurred
in that city last week Our acquintence
with this excellent young gentleman
and journalist was not Of long duration
we met him in Vicksburg last fall,
and during our brief stay in the Historic
city had occasion to see much of him
and to learn by experience and observn-
ton how true he was to the profession
that engrossed his time and talent; and
how valuable he was to a city that in
this important era of her existence needs
the aid of hand and brain of all who are
endowed by nature with the instincts of
the guide.
Peace to his ashes and consolation to
those who mourn him.

Of reducing expenses four hundred

not reduction of one hundred per

"A reduction of four hundred per
cent would in our opinion be
tautamount to doing a dollars worth
Of work for nothing and paying the

The Western Floods,

The reports from the valleys of the
Ohio, Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers are distressing. Those streams,
swollen by the melting SHOWS and
continuous rains, have merged into
seas and hundreds of thousands of
acres of improved farms are sub
merged while the angry waters are
ooursing through the streets of the
towns in the low lands carrying ruin
to thousands of households. Barns.
fences, bridges, mills and other pri-
vate and public property is being
swept away; cattle, sheep, hogs and
other stock drowned; rail road traffic
suspended or impeded and fearful
damage inflicted in many ways.
SOME Of the leading Michigan Re-
publican papers, express great ankle
ty in regard to the political situation
in that State, and are fearful that the
Democrats will capture it next fall.
We hope that their fears are pro-
phetic, for the home of Louis Cass
should be returned to the Democratic

rest more contentedly in his grave if

MIssrArED.-In its eaRerness to make
good showing in be half of Port Town
send az the seat for the proposed new
land district the Argus goes beyond
truth. 1t says: Seattle people can
reach Port Townsend az easily and
chsaply as they can Olympia, without
consuming more time, either" Let Us
zee about that. BY the regular CON-
veyanoes a person can go from here 70
Olympia aud back in q day, and can
have two hours at that place, or long
enough to get through with the Ordi-
nary entry Of pieoe Of land. The OK
pense involved includes q for fares,
$1.5O for meals. and. We will say. g for
days time-$S.5O altogether. To Port
Townsend aud back the fares are s., the
meals and lodging will cost 3, and two
days time $6-tstal, $15. In other
words, it costs nearly 80 per cent. more
to go to Port Townsend than to Olym-
pis. The place for the land Office is
Seattle, but a. between Port Townsend
and Olympia give us the latter. IL left
to popular vote there il no question that
majority of the residents Of the dis
trict would vote in favor of half dozen
other places in preference to Port
Townsend, while nine-tenths Of the
people unquestionably favor Seattle.

A GOOD RESULT.

While it 10 undoubtedly true that the
Chinese in this country do not in most
matters adopt our customs either Of
business or in social relations, yet John
has Enthusiastically q keen eve for the
main object of his presence this side Of
the Pacific. The operation Of the re-
striotion act has been to peroeptibly de
plets the number Of Chinese on this
coast, and they are not slow to take ad
vantage Of the effect thus produced. In
San Francisco there are some 300 Co
lestials employed In the manufacture Of
cigars in factories owned and operated
by white men. The reason given for
hiring them Is the scarcity Of white la
Dor in this branch Of employment.
I.atterly these Chinese have become I'M
ruly and unreliable. Twenty of
the thirty manufacturers have decided
upon lookout this week, aud have
combined to send to New York for 300
white workmen 10 take the places Of
these obstreperous Orientals. This 10 4
good move. There are thousands of
white people iu the East Who can be
obtained 70 till the places Of the locust
race. and even IL greater wages must be
paid them, the amount 10 distributed
remains In tho country and is returned
in regular course 10 trade channels in
stead Of being permanently withdrawn
from circulation by shipment to that
grave Of treasure, the Orient. II. when.
ever John strikes for higher wages, his
place is supplied by white artisans from
Eastern cities, there will soon bs upon
this coast sufficient workmen 10 ell all
branches Of skilled labor in which. In
default Of white men. Chinese have been
employed. Tho strict enforcement of
the restriction Law, properly amended
to make 1t effective, for its full period
Of ten years, will leave comparatively
few Of this unwelooms people among
