Tssbible Explosion at Port Gib
son, Miss.—We learn from the Vicksburg
Whig that about four o’clock on the morn
ing of the 18th inst., some scoundrel had a
kegjof powder placed under the Courthouse
of Claiborne county, at Port Gibson, set
fire to it and blew the Courthouse to atoms.
About half the building was blown down.
The Sheriffs offibe adjoining was destroy
ed, and his vault, containing about ten
thousand dollars, robbed. About a hun
dred dollars were picked up in the streets
which were blown there by the explosion.
No one was hurt. Some young men
rooming immediately over the powder, had
their rooms tumbled about them, but all
escaped entirely unhurt. Loss of building
estimated from $10,000 to $12,000. No
clue to the perpetrators.
The Levee Convention.—The meet
ing of planters living in the valley of the
Mississippi between St. Louis and New
Orleans, were to convene in Vicksburg
on Monday last. Th#objects of the Con
vention have been fully set forth through
the public press, and there will doubtless
be a full attendance of those interested in
establishing a system of leveeing for the
whole section of country subject to over
flow by the waters of the Mississippi and
its tributaries.

purchase of Cuba.—.v teiegrapnic
dispatch to the Louisville papers, dated
Washington, June, 30, says : “ Our ex
minister to Spain, Mr. Dodge, has pub
lished a card, in which he says that while
the prospect of acquiring Cuba by purchase
under the present circumstances is in
auspicious, he has never even intimated
that the proposition in any way involved
the honor of Spain, or tliai the purchase
might not at a future time be effected.
He believes the course recommended by
the President will lead to the consumma
tion of that object by houorable negotia
tion.” _________

How Circumstances Alter Cases.— j
Kossuth left England for Italy on the 7th
ult., after having had an interview with
the French Ambassador in London. Time
works wonders. It is tufa few years ago
that the French Government would not so
much as permit the great Magyar to set
his foot on its soil. Now he may not only
go to France, but before be goes he is the
recipient of diplomatic courtesies extend
ed to him by a French Minister.
ANNIVERSARY WEEK.
BARBECUES, INCIDENTS, ETC.
The eighty-third anniversary of American
Independence was duly celebrated ly the
people of Prairie and adjacent counties. The
•ntire week seems to have been set apart, no!
. only by “the sturdy sons of toil,” for com
memorating the hirlh-day of tb“ nation, but
: the merchants and professional men forsook
their offices and business-houses, and, “ resting
. from their labors,” attended barbecues, fish
i ing parties, etc. This is as it should be—th«
, vght feeling—and the right way of keeping
( up a devotion to our country and her institu
tions.
1 -
, Barbecue at Hickobt Pi.a!n, on the 2r
( inst.—Our Hickory Plain friends opened the
anniversary week by a barbecue, which was,
wc learn, alike creditable to both their char
acter for good order, and ample arrangements
for such an occasion. We hear the address of
our friend, D. W. Davih, Esq., spoken of in
high terms of praise.
BaaBEcut at Walter’* Chapel, on the
4th inst.-—A large number of people, from
various parts of Prairie county, attended this
assemblage. The Declaration of Independence
was read by A. McNeil. Esq., and an address
delivered by R. S. Gantt, Esq. The effort
of Mr. G , as we learn from those who heard
it, was replete with interest. With a master
mind he reviewed the history of the past, and
step by step delineated the rise and fall of na
tion!, showing the connecting links down to
UJf prfStai aay auu ^cunawuu. wuu a cum*
minding person and a lively perception, he
enchained his auditors throughout his entire
speech. We congratulate both the speaker
and his hearers, upon the pleasant recollec
tions that must for future years cluster around
a celebration of the “Fourth” at Walter’s
Chapel. The barbecue was splendidly gotten
up, and all speak in the highest praise of the
goodly people in the vicinity, who prepared
the eatables for the occasion. The ladies were
present in large numbers, and the evening was
devoted to dancing and other amusements.
f - S
The “Fourth” at Des Arc.—A large
portion of our fellow-citizens having left town
to partake of the barbecue at Walter’s Chapel,
fishing parties, etc., the “ Can’t-get-away
Club” each read the Declaration of Indepen
dence, and at intervals fired th e cannon, to the
tune of the “Old Thirteen.” Twelve demon
strations had been made from the “old piece,”
and the thirteenth chambered with an extra
charge, in honor of the day and of the re-elec
tion of R. D. Baugh, as mayor of Memphis,
(who, by the way, had presented Des Arc with
the cannonj) when a looker-on claimed the
privilege of “ touching off the last shot.”
His wish was acceded to, and the crowd, con
sisting of about fifty persons, retired a few
steps. With a steady hand he applied the
match, and a report louder, longer, and more
of it, than any previous one, greeted the ears
of all, both far and near. The result was that
the cannon burst into some eight pieces—some
of the fragments being thrown a distance of
fifty yards. One piece, weighing nearly two
hundred pounds, fell through the roof and
both floors of Mr. O. W. Vaden’s store-house,
cutting the sill asunder, and burying itself in
the earth underneath. Yet, no one was se
riously injured by the. explosion. Send us
another cannon, Mayor Baugh.
Barbecue at West Point, on the 5th
inst.—Our friends at West Point celebrated
the anniversary on the 5th, by a barbocue and
an oration. Dr. B. McRae was reader of
the Declaration, and Mr. Hubbard, Principal
of the West Point School, was orator of the
day. His address was listened to attentively
throughout the hour occupied in its delivery,
being an able and classical review of the rise
and fall of ancieut and modern nations, down
to the origin and successful progress of our
Great Republic. The speech was replete with
sound sense, and free frffi that bombast and
Pharisaical exultation which frequently char
acterizes the windy harangues of our modern
Fourth-of-July orators. After the close of
Mr. H.’s|oration, J. W. Martin, Esq., of our
town, was called upon, and deliverd a short,
though neat and pertinent address.
The barbecue was alike creditable to all
concerned.
Or On the 6th, 7th, and Sth, we heard of
various fishing parties, re-unions, visits, etc.,
throughout this and the adjoining counties.
Barbecue at Hale’s Spring, Caroline
Township, on the 9th inst.—A friend in
forms us that, owing to the appearance of
rain, there was only a tolerable turn out at
this barbecue. The orator of the day, W. J.
Bronaugh, Esq., was introduced to the as
sembly, by Colonsl A. A. Pittman. The
speech is said to have been both neat and ap
propriate. Our informant further says : “ Af
ter the close of Mr. Bronaugh’s speech, din
ner was announced, and the ladies repaired to
the first table, where there was one of the
best barbecues served up that it has ever been
my lot to witness, or partake of. The very
best order was observed, but that is easily
accounted for, as there was none of the es
sence of rye or corn on the ground.”
Agricultural Barbecue at Des Arc,
on the 9th inst.—The rain during the fore
noon seemed to “dampen the prospect” of this
Barbecue. At 10 o’clock, however, the rain
ceased, and the sun broke forth iu all the
beauty of a summer’s day. The air had been
purified, and the crowd could be seen wending
their way to the stand and arbor prepared for
the occasion. R. S. Gantt, Esq., of Browns
ville in an address, which was in every respect
creditable to his position as a public speaker,
first occupied the stand. Capt. D. McCrekry,
of White county, followed in one of his good
humored and pointed speeches, in which,
among other matters of importance, he urged
systematic farming as the solving of the mys
tery of success in tilling the soil. T. B. Kent,
Esq., next took the stand, and in a well ar
ranged speech, demonstrated the importance of
educating the farmer, as well as the profes
sional man. J. E. Gatewood, Esq., made
the closing speech of the day. His effort show
ed a practical knowledge of agriculture, and
was well-timed, and well suited to the occa
sion.
After the speaking had closed, Col. W. W.
Wair, to whom all are much indebted for the j
ample arrangements for the occasion, invited
the assemblage to dinner. The ladies occu
pied the first table, and after they were done, '
the gentlemen, each in their turn and in good |
order, gathered around .the festive board, i
The meats were well cooked—in truth, as a
friend remarked “there wae enough, and a
plenty, and that of the best sort,” of all kinds ■
of meats, bread, vegetables, Ac.
The Ball at Night.—Through the po- ,
lite invitation of Col. W. W. Wair, a large s
assemblage collected at the new rooms on
Buena Vista street, at night, where the hour*,
until near “noon of night,” were industriously
appropriated to “tripping it on the light fan
tastic toe.” Never have we seen so large an
assemblage of pretty women in Des Arc.
Truly,
“Nature was here so lavi-h of her store.
That she bestowed until she had no more.”!
Thus ended Anniversary week in (hi* section
of country. May each revolving year bring
to u* all the same rational enjoyment*, new
acquaintances, renewed friendships and all the
blessings vouchsafed to our species.
Misstssirpt Democratic State Coh
ventiok.—This body assembled at Jack
son on the 4th ioat. Jon:* J. Pettos, of
Kemper, rvas nominated for Governor;'
B. R. Wm, of Pontotoc, for Secretary of
State; E. R. B(?bt, of Noxubee, for
Auditor, and M. D. Haj'nes, of Yazoo,
for State Treasurer.
The following platform was adopted
by the Stale Convention without a dissen
ting voice:
Resolved, That we re-announce as the ba
sis of party action the platform of principles
laid down by the Democratic party at the
National Convention of 1856; and hold that
the doctrine of “non intervention” with the
institution of slavery in States, Territories, cr
District of Columbia, does not, nor was it in
tended to conflict with the assertion of the
power of Congress to protect the property of
the citizens of the several States, who may
choose to settle in the Territories which are
the common property of all the States.
Resolved, That in the language of the Su
preme Court of the United States, “the richt
of property in slaves is distinctly and expressly
affirmed in the Constitution”—and “the only
power over it conferred upon Congress, is the
power coupled with the duty of guarding and
pro'ecting the owners in their rights,” as thus
declared.
Resolved, That Mississippi will stand by
her sister slave-holding Slates in insisting up
on the enforcement by all the departments of
the Federal Government of their constitutional
rights as thus expounded by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Resolved, That in the event of the election
>of a Black Republican candidate for the Pres
idency, by the suff.ages of one portion of the
Union only, to rule over the whole United
States, upon the avowed purpose of that organ
ization, Mississippi will regard it as a decla
ration of hostility, and will hold herself in
readiness, seperately or in concert, to co-ope
rate with her sister States of the South, in what
ever measures they may deem necessary for
the maintenance of their rights as co-equal
members of the confederacy.
Resolved, That we feel'it incumbent upon
the Democracy of Mississippi again to declare
that the acquisition of Cuba by the United
States is a commercial and political necessity,
and that we will hail with pleasure every
proper measure that looks to its accomplish
ment, and further, we can never consent to its
appropriation by any foreign power.
Resolved, That we endorse, in the main,
the policy of the present Administration.
-
Native Africans in Mississippi.—
The following letter was sent to the Gal
veston (Texas) JVews, of the 14th ult.
It was written at Artesian Spring, Miss.,
under date of the 8th ult. The writer
says:
I have this morning returned from a
visit to Mr. Smith’s plantation, near Can
ton, Miss. He has sixteen of the bona
fide Africans, all young and likely. They
look like our negroes—work well, plant
corn, hoe cotton, &c. Two of them can
do as much work as an American negro;
and Pompey, who is more intelligent than
the rest, can do as much now as an ordi
nary field hand. They are learning to
speak our language. Pompey converses
very well. They are not wild, but, on the
contrary, very docile and good servants.
They have been in America some four
or five months. They have the brands
and marks of the tribe from which they
came. Their front teeth are filed, and
present a novel appearance when they
laugh. They have model feet. The pret
tiest slianed foot I have ever seen is that
of a boy some eighteen or nineteen years
old. He is perfectly black, and negro to
the back-bone; but he has beautiful feel
and bands. They are contented, and when
one is whipped the others laugh.
Mr. Smith has been offered fifteen thou
sand dollars for the lot, which ho refused
to take. He expects next year to make
as much with these sixteen “ wild” Afri
cans as any other planter in the county
with sixteen “tame” ones. I say this
for the benefit of those on Old Caney and
other portions of your State, who are pay
ing fifteen hundred dollars for negroes
from Virginia, when these can he bought
for five hundred dollars, and less.

satisfactory character in Chicago, for the
purpose of holding the next National Fair
