i TOBACCO, Near Foot of Seventh WHO IS WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE. The name of the gallant General Walthall, of Grenada, is mentioned with other distinguished sons of Mississippi in connection with the Governorship of the State. He has never made the least sign, as faras we know, indicative of a desire on his part to ambition the office in question but that is neither here nor there, if he enters the. but an I vanhoe of an opponent need meet him, for ho is strong in the affections of all who know of him, (and not to do the latter were to argue oneself unknown) and the "boys in gray," who served under him during the late war between the States, ate attached to him as with hooks of steel: and as for the people of his own immediate section, they long since gave him the loftiest place in their esteem and confidence! He is the. knightliest of the knightly men that our State can boast, or that she ever sent out to light in a cause deemed to be just ami liolv.

I is head is as cool as his judgment is accuiate, while hi ability as a lawyer ami his eloquence as a speaker are only equalled by the splendid virtues with which his heart is peopled and the llowing courtesy and courtly manners which mark his inter course with his fellow-man. Sir Philip Sidney was not more chivalrous; nor more sensitive of his honor than General Walthall, whose name is a synonym for ev- erv mmlifv or -irtin W'liich mosl i nuorns me unman cuaraeier, ano i gives dignity to genuine manhood THE COLUMBUS DEMOCRAT After keeping its lips hernieiical-i ly staled tin ring all the time the! discussion of the Printing Pill has been going on, has at last taken the I ell I L- twini llita lOfWtw nit I 1 I I a sort of forcible-feeble defense of i that outrageous measure, and the men in the legislature who stood sponsors for it.

They were sentenced to be hanged on the fourth day of May next. One negro tor being found in possession of a promising young member of the swine family to which he had no legal title, also came to grief, through the active exertions of that same official, and he goes to the penitentiary to be absent for three years! While another still was sent to the institution already mentioned, for two years for killing a cow, that was about to bite him.

candidate, is abroad in the land, and his talk, as he is button; holding some honest elector, is sweet enough to charm the birds oft' the trees. The candidates for the various State offices are getting to be as numerous as the frogs in Egypt in the days of Pharoah, and as noisy. Every day brings forth a new one. In good sooth they are multiplying with startling rapidity North Mississippi, as usual leading the van, and making honied appeals the while to the dear, dear ieoile. whom thev af- ffct to love so well and whose interests they are so anxious to serve.

That highly favored portion of this grand old State is not lacking in able-bodied men, who are more than willing to sacrifice themselves upon the altar of patriotism, to the end of benefiting the State and themselves as well if, indeed, it can be said that an' of our State offices can benefit a man, either pecuniarily or otherwise. There is something in the waterof that section, or in the atmosphere, may we not suppose, which per- vades, it that gives a man a raging for some cilice or other, mattering not whether it be one of vast "pith and moment''' or one of 1 ss Ilrobdignagean pretension. This is well it shows a self -sacrificing spirit. It shows a consuming desire to serve the public; and is not ih.t admirable. Of course it is.

fin tins throwing himself into the yawning chasm to save Rome, was not more so and the editor who pens an.lhii:g to the contrary writes himself down mi ass, even as Dogberry in; nested some one to do in his case. When North Mississippi is ed for her jewels she, Cornelia like, points lo her many sons, her! noble army of patriots whose anxiety to lend their abilities to! the State hose offices they love with a love surpassing that of woman and exclaim, with pride in her port, and a smile on her lip. 1 "There, there are my and all the gems that the caves of the ocean bear are not half so precious in sight as That North Mississippi has many a no jble son upon whose brow Nature 'has written in the most legible characters and daughters at whose feet Princes of the blood might kneel, and feel honored at having such a privilege; but she should not presume on these things to claim the lion's share of the offices whenever an election is to be held. She is strong as Samson before his locks ere ulinrn but let tier not. kIio has the strength of a giant, insist upon using it like a giant, as that would argue a want of magnanimity aye, a greediness for the offi- cial flesh-pots which could not fail to arouse the sensibilities ol the other portion of the Stat to a de- a.

He went to Louisiana a few years ago in company with others on a mission similar to the one with which his name is now connected, and while there he patched tip a settlement between the contending parties in that unfortunate State, and the world gave it the name of the "Wheeler compromise." As soon as convenient he became a word-eater, and he was not long in swallowing every expression that had escaped him and which found a place in the report he submitted to Congress, touching thn unwholesome surroundings of the Kellogg Government such for instance as the fraudulent action of the lieturniig and the infamous proceeding of Judge Dur-rell that resnlted in the seating of Kellogg, who is the very allegory of political meanness in the Executive chair of that ill-starred commonwealth.

We never were given to taking much stock in a tempest in a teapot, or training a park of artillery upon some inoffensive chicken-coop. Weie there any ticket in the field opposed to the Democratic, we would, as is our wont, be found plying the pen early and late, morn, noon and night to the end of covering it with shame and confu sion. IJnt we can Hint no party opposition to ours, in the present instance, and it must remem bcred that l'. wrenches one teniMv i to kick at nothing. Let us all be reasonable, and let no one allow! himself be carried away by his passions, or do aught to establish a precedent that may return to plague the inventor.

The boom- I erang when unskillfuily thrown at an object rarely ever fails to return and strike with terrible effect the man who threw it; theengineer is frequently hoisted with his own petard, and he. ho diggeth a ditch is sometimes the first to fall into if, greatly to his chagrin. As a pendant to these propositions we back tOjits again. But as long as one candidate seek to get the negro vote bj- the arts which obtain practiced campaiiMiers. his rival, not to be undone, will natu- rallj- resort to all the appl'anees which his mind can suggest to ob-1 ain the same thing; and so it will come to pass, that in all future lections in counties like Yazoo, each candidate will endeavor! to get the largest contingents of negro votes, ami the one that best succeeds in tilling their oars with eolcur lc rose stories and winning their confidence, will be the success ful aspirant for office, and he who I fails to see this is devoid of perspi cacity as the man who died in the days of the Pharaohs.

There is a great deal of human nature in anj man born of woman, to saj" the least of it. More or less of bad neighborhood has been engendered by the canvass now in progress; but as it was born of an ardent desire to secure the success of friends, who are before the suffragans of this place as candidates for the various city offices, charitj' can not do less than throw her veil over any ugliness of temper that maj- have been exhibited on either side. There is no ticket in the field but the Democratic we are all of that belonging now, and maj- we all continue to be so all the days of our lives. The negro vote has been throughout the can vass the bone, of con-ie'ition, and over that the candidates have struggled with desperate energj-.

-F01 WALK ing. Such editorials must needs ever fall still born fron: the press, it is their destiny to die and make no sign. We never heard any man make a decent argument in defense of the "bill of abomination," to which attention has been called, and until we do, it shall be ours to cry, aloud and spare not its author as often as the occasion requires it if that he every second, minute, hour and day in the week. If an" man supposes he can suc-iecssfiiliy defend the conduct of Senator Fewell, and others of his ilk, in the last Legislature he would do well to set about hus-i banding his resources, as he will need them all before the close of the approaching canvass. M- THE GREAT UNELEUl'ED HAYES remembering how his immediate predecessor was abused and ridi-! culed on account of his appointing so many of his own and his wife's relativ es to office has concluded to steer clear of the rock of nepotism and thus save, as far as may be, the ship which carries him and his fortunes.

A favorite const of his wife applied for an office at his hands the other day, and though entirely competent, he was refused the position, and for no better reason than that he was a kinsman of his "better-half." There was no good sense in that and more, it was an unnatural proceeding. iioou is tbfckor tlian wator aml we heciim Hayes' place we had grant- ed the favor which he so pcr-empto lily refused. The country does not reqnireits President to disregard the application of a competent man for office, nicrelj- because he happens to be related bj- affinitj or consan-quinity to himself or his wife. The conntrj- complained of Grant and with good cause, not so much because he appointed his kinsmen, and their name is legion, to official becauso he distributed offices among them indiscriminately, regardless of their fitness, either -morally, or mentally, for the places given them in the premises. Again we say that blood is than water, ami much must be pardoned to the spirit of that man, who would, all things being equal, confer a favor upon a relative sooner than a stranger.
