inpAmerica is Holmes, the best looking

High Life in the Kitchen.—The
night of the last Hop at the Bowman
House, at Jackson, Mississippi, the “dar

lar spree.” Toasts ware drank, among
which was the (allowing one: “De Gob

A \\ rit of “No Go.”—L**gal phrases
and Law Latin are not always improved
by ^explanation or translation, as was well
exemplified when under the New York
C()de, all legal terms used were to be in
English, and the bar were not a little a
mused in finding a writ of ne exeat regne
rendered as a writ of "no go.”

RIVER NEWS, &c.
The Fi.ood,—The Mississippi river, at
Memphis, after raising to within seven and a
half inches of high water mark, commenced
falling on Friday last. The stock in the bot
tom lands on the Mississippi and White rivers
have suffered terribly, and numbers must have
perished. At Providence, La., the water is re
ported three inches above the high-water
mark of last year The levees have broken
at various points on the Mississippi, attended
with a heavy destruction of property. White
river, last evening, was again rising.

aue, in that city, on (lie morning of the

EsST'Great preparations are being made

tember next.
Southern Commerct/.t. Convention.
—This body will meet at Vicksburg on the
first Monday of May next, the 6th of
the month.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Commercial writes that‘it is general
ly conceded that under the circumstances
the Emperor has escaped the difficulties of
bis position exceedingly well. IIi» speech
is remarkable for its elegant diction, and if
lie could not go so far as to declare positive
ly for peace or war, it was because his
najesty himself did not know which he
was to have.”
The rumor which has been going the
rounds of the press, that Chief Justice Ta
ney contemplated resigning his judgeship
in the Supreme Court of the United States,
we learn from the best authority is wholly
without foundation, says the Washington
Star, and adds, Chief Justice Taney does
not, and has never contemplated taking
such a step.
The Wanderer.—The famous yacht
Wanderer was sold at Savannah on the
12th inst., by,the U. S. Marshal, and was
purchased by Mr. Charles Lamar, for the
sum of $4,000.
Ma jor Thomas J. Ileltn died in
Glasgow, Kentucky, on the 8th inst. He
was Clerk of the Kentucky House of Rep
resentatives for nearly 20 years until the
formation of the new Constitution. He
was also Clerk of the Convention which
framed the present Constitution of the
State, and held other important trusts, all
of which, it is said, he performed with the
strictest fidelity.
f&S^A fatal affray occured at Jackson,
Mississippi, on the Ilth inst. The diffi
culty was between Thomas I ord and V .
D. Bibb, in which Col. Bibb shot Mr. Fed,
with a double barrel shot gun. killing him
in about ten minutes, Mr. Ford s pistol
fired off without effect.
gfgTThe people of Vicksburg have
agreed, by 108 majority,to subscribe $100,
000 to the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Texas Railroad.
ggg“Th Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald thinks, from the
present appearances, Gen. Lane has the
inside track for the Charleston nomination
for the Presidency.
gfe|“The New York Economist says
if,at “the effect of another general war in
Europe would be productive of vast
changes in the face of the world, and
probably go far towards carrying the Uni
ted Stales to that point of commercial su
premacy which they must, apparently,
attain at a period more or less distant. ’
g6g"It is reported that two cargoes of
slaves, from Africa, are oil the coast
of Georgia, endeavoring to effect a lan
ding.
----♦ * ♦
The Wanderer’s Africans Found.
—The Savannah, Ga., Republican of the
10th inst., says, that the Africans landed
by the Wanderer some time smce, have
been found at Jacksonville, Telfair county,
in that State, and arrested. Another ac
count reports they were arrested near Al
'bany in that State, and carried away some
eighty miles for safe-keeping, i own
ers of these slaves have presented their
claims and instituted legal proceedings for
the recovery of their property.

p£i§“Ko$suth is in the Field Again,
traveling through the discontented States
of continental Europe, with a trunk full of
inflammatory proclamations, a passport de
signating him as “Mr. Clarke.” an Amer
ican gentleman: said passport being fur
nished by the French Government, by the
wav- Kossuth is unable to speak anything
hut English at this time.and is apparently
an excessively verdant traveler for pleas
ure, entirely ignorant ol European affurs
an^ politics. He is“an emissary ol
France,” sent forth to incite to desertion
and revolt the Hungarian soldiery of Aus
tria. Shouldn’t he surprised if this danger
ous and dishonorable masquerade got tht
great Hungarian humbug into hot water
He should be sensible enough to star
quietly in his sumptuous retreat and spent
the money contributed by the gulled Amer
ican public “to the cause of Hungarian in
dependence."

The deceased was the widow of James Er

of the early settlers of this section of the

township near .11 years. Mrs. E. was uni
versally respected for all those noble anti en
dearing qualities which constitute the true
Woman—whether as mother friend or com
