OUR vIcKsBURG LETTER.


moi as good an off-band speaker as
Henry Clay bui for all that be used
to kill Indians contrary TO the game
laws of Kentucky, up to the time Of
his death,
Now this reminds lis that "Nimrod
the Second" and the State of Mississip-
pi are in serious danger of collision.
when the ides of March have been
relegated to the down-,rodden past
and the next April of the "untrodden
future" shall dawn upon the horizon.
Othello was gloomy and morose when
his occupation left him; aud Nimrod
the Two, will sift The sieve of sorrow
(allileration is all the style now with
star reporters) when his recreation
may be cut short by the edicts of the
Mississippi solons. 1t is true that old
Isaak Wallon's chosen sport will re-
main, in all of the, 'ishy" or piscatorial
glory--but the finny denizers is not a
bird of the kind that can be winged
by one who poses as snapshot mere
ly. 1t takes brain aoork, low down
and crafty to inyeigle the bashful
Dream, eniice the lasty CRAWLING or to
grass-hop the iimid trout.
Brain-work howsoever low down, is
not recreation from any point of view.
But sufficient unto the day is the vain
regret thereunto belonging; and MINI
road the Second is revealing in the
present as we'll as in "reminiscences of
the recent past. On Saturday the
18th N. the 2. N the and N. the 4,
again wendell their way to Sligo
where the birds so very high CO." and
with the atriple alliance of both MINI
rods and the CANNES Matte, Olo and
Shot. most successful inroad was ac-
complished within the enemies coun-
try. After day of most exhilerating
sport and with nigh unto 40 head OF
game. the three "mighty hunters" re-
paired to the hospitable home of Col.
King, to discuss the glories of the
| hunt aud the viands of the table. They
found Col. King in close place
surrounded by yankees'-but he
1 a 1. tAi1 &c IN,
days of yore, until suddenly perceiving
that he was in some danger of being
"Hazed." we iBterfered, and soon
brought about a proclamation OF
peace. We found Mr.. Hayes of Col
umbus. Ohio, and Mr.. Jones of Gran
vile, Ohio. "boon companions of the
first order" and old bachelors OF the
same confirmed type as Nimrod the
| Second, but who all the same (con-
trariwise to n. the 2d) "would be glad
TO hear from those who want good
home and belong to an entirely differ
ent SEX" This is reminder of Col
Craddock of Kentucky. SO well known
to Flanagan, Col Bnckner and Others
of your readers. The two gentlemen
from Ohio after enjoying 'sye old
TYNE" hospitality of Col. King. passed
through the Hill City today on their
ssheim gang" and it was with much re-
! greet that we babe them a genuine re-
constructed goodbye. The gentlemen
had been prospecting in Florida. but
like the four comrades of De Narvaz
their opinion of the Southeast PENN
sula-was not fowery. On the con
trary, they damned it with faint praise
aud otherwise.
The "two Harry's" ofthe Mississippi
low-grouDds called on us last night il
our eyrie. We call it an eyrie because
in the slightly hyperboiical language
Of bright student of the V. I'll. 5. ib'
"rear-window-v commands toward
the west the broad valley of the Mis-
sissippi, while TO the South the shining
spires of Nstchez are plainly seer
with the tall masts of The merchant
ships in New OrIeans-in the bacl
ground, dimly outlined against thu
Southern sky"
Harry Graham's physical perfection
Of condition bears ample testimon.
the excellent cuisine of our FRIEND
Tom. while Harry johnson was ever
more animated aud sparkling thai
usual. Judge f. F. Montgomery is il
, the city, and is affable, as dignifed ant
| as pleasant in manner as was ever til
, noted Lord Chesterfield in his palmies
| days.
Next week we hope TO give you
synoptical view of business progress
in the liill City.
With best wishes as ever for th
prosperity of the BID. AS well as tn
good health ofihe distinguished dio
!,
