moTLUbit &wmxim3 &wmmw From the Oxford Organizer. Laying the Corner Stone. The Corner Stone of the University of Mississippi, was laid on Tuesday last, by the Masonic Lodge of this place, under the direction of the Grand officers of the State, who were present on the occasion. At 10 o'clock, A. M., the procession was formed in the public square. Cant. David son's volunteer company in front, Cant. Itagland'a Infantry next; then the Clergy, the Trustees of the State University, music, the T ree masons and Orator, the citizens generally: and Capt. Cook's cavalry brought up the rear. 1 he Ladies had assembled on the ground at 10 o'clock. The whole procession arrived on the ground at half past 10. The officers of the Lodge, and the Trustees of the University, occupied a platform prepared for them. The ceremony was performed by Wrn. H. Stevens, Esq., Junior Grand Warden, officiating a3 Grand Master of the State. The ceremony wa3 introduced by J. 31. Howry, who as Chairman of the Executive Committee, addressed the Grand Master, stating the design of the edifice to be there erected, and requesting him to lay the cor ner stone, according to ancient custom, tfcc. Whereupon, the Grand Master, assisted by his officers, proceeded (alter prayer by the chaplain, Kev. V. S. Burnev,) to lav the corner stone of the principal edifice of the University, in a very solemn and lm posing manner. There were deposited in a leaden box, which fitted in the cavity of the corner stone, a copy of the law creating the Uni versity; a copy of the By-laws of the Board of Trustees; a scroll w ith the name3 of the Board of Trustees; another, with the names of the Architect and the contractors; a copy of the Oxford Organizer; a copy of the National Intelligencer; a copy of the Wash ington Union; silver coins of American stamp, different sizes; a gold piece of Amer ican coin ; the By-laws of the Oxford Lodge No. 33; the names of the officers of the Lodge; the Constitbtion of the Grand Lodge of Mississippi; the names of the Grand offi cers of the State; the Declaration of Inde pendence; the Constitution of Mississippi; the Constitution of the United States; the Mississippian; and the Bible. The following llvmns were then sung: Great Architect of Fnrth fit J Heaven, 15 time nor spare conCm .el, 1'nl irge our I.jvo to roniprthcn 1 Our brethren, til iiinnkinJ.

Tr'.nch in ferm, The ceremonies were concluded by vo cal and instrumental music. After which. a mos1 appropriate and beautiful oration was delivered bv Win. F. Stearnes, Ksq., the Grand Orator of the State. We learn with pleasure that Mr. Stearnes' address will be published by request of the Lodge. Dinner not beinsr nuite ready at the close of the address, Mr."john J. McCaughan, one nf the Trustees of the University, m com pliance with the request of a committee of our citizens, who had adasesseu mm uie day previous, addressed the large audience, in a speech remarkable for its original and well-digested views of government, and the great social objects for which all society is designed. Although he spoke under very unfavorable circumstances, he left an im pression behind him which will not soon be forgotten by those who think for themselves. The military now escorted the ladie3 to the table, where the whole company par took of a sumptuous republican barbecue. The large crowd behaved exceedingly well there being no instance of impropriety ob served on the occasion. After dinner the procession was re formed, and the whole returned to the square, where they were dismissed in peace and harmonv. Wecanno't omit to state, that every fa cility and assistance were given by the un dertakers of the work, Messrs. Grayson and Crary, to the committee of arrangements; and that the committee, and citizens gener ally, manifested considerable interest in the interesting ceremonies of the day. "Masterly Inactivity." Mr. Stark weather, a member of Congress from Ohio, defines the "masterly inactivity," about 7 Gov. Brown. and the Pontotoc Volunte ei s. The following, w hich we find in the Mis sissippian of the 15th inst., Is the last com munication we have seen from his Excellen cy Gov. Brown, and presume that some of the Pontotoc toys will be out with a rejoin der in a few days. Messrs Phick 6c Falu I desire through your columns, to make a very short reply to the resolutions of a public meeting in Pontotoc county, condemnatory of mv course towards the volunteer company from that county. The proceedings of this meet ing would lead one not familiar with the facts to suppose that the Pontotoc company had been directly accepted by me, which is not the fact. The company was accepted bv Gen. A. B. Bradford, of Holly bpnngs under a letter of mine, saying, that three companies would be taken from the Chick asaw counties. I had no direct communi cation with the Pontotoc company after the issuance of my proclamation ot the 30th of Mav. until I met them at Vickshnnr. It was on the 2d of June, that I wrote to Gen. Bradford, of Holly Springs saying, that three companies would be accepted from the Chickasaw counties. On the Cth I wrote to him again, that it would be imprac ticable for me to accept more than two. When I wrote this letter, I had not heard from either of the Bradfords in regard to their companies. The messenger who bore this communication to Gen. A. B Bradford, delivered it to him between Hol ly Springs and Memphis. He sent a copy, a3 he informed me, to Capt. Delay, of the Lafayette company, and another to his brother, Capt. J. D. 13radford, of the Ponto toc company. Captain Bradford of Ponto toc, received his copy before he left the lim its of his own county, and bv it he was clearly informed, that but two. companies would be accepted. 1 he messenger inform ed him, (if I correctly understood Capt. B of P.) that both the Holly Springs and La- tayette companies were ahead ot him. I learn from the Pontotoc proceedings, that Gen. Bradford, of Holly Springs, wrote to ms brother to come on. It he did so, it was very wrong. He must have been aware, that both his own (Holly Springs) companv and Capt. Delay's, from Lafayette, were a- heatl ot his brother, and he knew that but two would be accepted. Whatever blame properly belongs to me, for the agency I had in having the company to march, until they met my letter, I am willing to bear, but nothing more. If they chose to take Gen. A. B. Bradford's advice, against my positive assurance, I could not prevent it. I may remark, that Capt. Delay's company, reached Memphis in advance of the Holly Springs company; that these two came to V icksburg on the same boat, and that Capt. J. D. Bradford and company came on a day or so after. The only acceptance ever giv en to the rontotoc company, was that giv en by Gen. A. 15. Bradford, under my letter of the zzd June; and this acceptance was not communicated to me, or ratlmr did not reach me, until after my letter of the 6th was despatched; and as it had been left to Gen. B. to select the three Aorthern com panies, when it was thought that companies would be received from that section, so it was left with him to say which one should remain when it was ascertained that but two could be received. Gen. B. did not chose to order either company to remain, but ordered all of them to rendezvous at Vicksburg, and I accepted the two that first reached the place of general rendezvous, to wit: the Holly Springs and Lafayette com panies. I note with astonishment that Capt. J. D. Bradford is represented as saying to the meeting at rontotoc, that m his first inter view with me at Vicksburg, on his arrival there, I had promised his company a place, and that 1 had subsequently rejected them. 1 Ins statement is so made as to induce the belief that I had promised Capt. Bradford's company a place in the regiment after his arrival at Yicksburg, and I am very certain that that gentleman has been misunderstood. I have a high appreciation of the chivalrous and lofty bearing of Capt. B., and am there fore certain that he could not have made such a statement. I first met Capt. B. on the cars to Yicks burg. 1 was going down and becoming np. He joined our company when the cars met, and returned with us to Vicksburg. We conversed freely on the subject of his visit. Nine, companies had been mustered in, and the 10th and last company to fill the regiment, wa3 on the cars with us, goinc down to be mustered; and I am very cer tain, that Capt. B. could not have inferred, from any thing said by me, that I had the least idea of setting aside this company, which had marched 150 to 200 miles by land; and this I would have been compelled to do, if I had accepted Captain Bradfords company. I repeat, that this statement is erroneous; but I have too high an opinion of Capt. B. to suppose he has intentionally given currency to it. What I said to Capt. Bradford was this: that if his company were willing to take the risk of being sent back, I would take the responsibility of sending them to the seat of war; that I would use every exertion to pro cure their acceptance, and make a personal visit to Washington for that purpose if necessary. We both thought there would be a further requisition on this State, in which event there would be no difficulty. Capt. B. and myself were talking together, when a letter was handed to me from the Vicksburg; and I have no doubt he will ful ly sustain this statement. I must decline following out all the details of the Pontotoc resolutions. The above is a brief statement of my actings, and .doings towards this company and so far as an impartial public may think me censurable, I am willing to be censured. Very respectfully, vours. &c. A.

Capt. Porter's company, the Eaqle Guards, of the Tennessee cavalry, have. also taken up their line of march for the city of Mexico. They are the advance guard of the Tennessee and Kentucky cav- alrv. Several of the companies of the Regiment have crossed the river, and the whole will be off in a dav so. Gen. Pillow is here, having arrived last night, it is said on his way to Matamoros. It is to be regretted, that the President ap pointed Pillow, Brigadier General. a True, he is nominally, a democrat, ho doubt, never voted for a whig; but he never put himself to an" trouble or expense for the sake of Democracy, save when jt was calculated to bring himself into notice, and thereby flat ter his desire for personal aggrandizement and promotion. But there were many others who had their souls wound up in the cause and the honor of the country, who were everyway qualified for the station; who would have been popular with the vol unteers, and who would have commanded their highest respect; and against whom a breath of suspicion lias never blown, for any act, public or private. Not so with Pil low; he is essentially, a selfish man; he cares for nothing, not relating to bis jyeciui' iary interest, or the particular aggrandize ment or present gratification of Gideon J. Pillow. All other emotions meet with but a cold reception and hospitality in his heart, lie is by no means qualified for the place; he is not, nor can he ever be popular with the volunteers or the people; and breath of suspicion has blown so long and so hard against his good name, that he has become almost case-hardened. ' And this is the man, to lead our volun teers to glory and to honor!- And, where there are so many choice spirits, not only out of, but in the ranks, infinitely better qualified!

DCP'It appears (says the Baltimore Amer ican,) that the present postage law'haa : pro duced a much larger aggregate, than was estimated by the Postmaster General, and it is evident now that in a few vears the revenue will exceed the outlay of the De partment by a large amount.

Cp We cop the following from the Telegraph, published at Louisville, Win ston county. Wonder how many pedlars there are sojourning in Marshall countyf without "leave cr license." "A small army of Dutch pedlars arrived in our town a few days ago, and from some unknown cause, on yesterday, kicked up a general row among themselves. Justice Hudson issued his proclamation, command ing them to rendezvous at his office, when it was ascertained that they all had but one license to sell goods; and as they were about to part, the contention arose as to who should have the license. Justice Hudson decided that if they all did not pro cure license, forthwith, or sooner, he would "relieve" them from pedling; which they accordingly did and left without shedding blood." Departure op the Voluxteers.- The 1st Regiment of Mississippi Volunteers have at last moved from Vicksburg, and are now en route to the American standard in Mexico. They are a noble band of true spirits, and bear with them the proud hopes of our whole people for their success and glory, and their safe return to their homes and friends. Mississippian. OWe have dates from Washington to the 10th inst: "The bill for graduating the "price of the public lands passed the Senate on the 9th instant, by a vote ot iiG to lb. " ihe bill au thorizing the President to sell the reserved mineral lands in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, was also passed. "The House, on receiving the graduation bill of the Senate, laid aside the bill from the committe on public lands, and took up the Senate bill, and was engaged thereon the whole day in commit ol tho whole,. as they were, also, on the 10th. The bid was taken from the committee of the whole at noon, on the 10th, and reported to the House, but the final vote had not been taken when the House adjourned. fpThe Charleston Courier holds forth as follows : "When we have obtained possession of the Laluornias, as uc probably have, even now, there will be no disposition in this country to give them up. The volunteers who have prepared to go to Mexico, have no intention to return. W e learn from all quarters, that they go like the Romans, to inhabit wherever they conquer." OCr'The Vicksburg Whig of Wednesday last says: "Wc understand that Col. Jeff. Davis passed down the river yesterday on the Star Spangled Banner. He will stop at his plan tation a short time and then proceed to New Orleans. He has orders to make it a Rifle Regiment, which will gratify some of the volunteers, and the rules have been or dered from New York to Point Isabel. The volunteers will proceed, as earlyas pos sible, to the campot Gen. laylor, but we fear thev will be detained in New Orleans 5 or 10 days for transports, as there will be about 8,000 troops in that city within this week. The East Tennesseeans are going down, as also the balance of the Ohio and Indiana regiments. Gen. Quitman will probably be"" down one day this week.. Dr. Halsey will probably leave to-day. Since writing the above, we have learn ed that Mr. Davis did not proceed as. we had previously understood, but will leave on the Paul Jones this evening. Sixguxar Affair.-A singular transaction, we believe withouta parallel in this country has taken place at Frankfort, Ky. At the June term of the Franklin county court, in IS 15, the justice removed the jailor and ap pointed another. The displaced man, with the aid of friends, took an appeal from this action of the county court to the court of appeals, which, after a hearing, issued its mandate directing his restoration. This the county court refused to do, and the jus tices, five in number, were cited to appear before the court of appeals, to show cause why they did not enter and carry into effect the mandate sent them, and the live refusing to appear, they were thrown into prison. What will be the finale of the matter we cannot say. The Legislature has interfered in the matter, and will settle it of course. Good. At a dinner given at Matamoros, to the committee of the Louisiana Legisla ture, Lieut. Britton,of the 7th infantrysaid that a very brave soldier in the ranks was in the habit of drinking too much. His Col onel remonstrated with him "Tom, you are a bold fellow and a good soldier, but you will get drunk." "Colonel." replied Tom, "how can you expect all the virtues of the human character combined, for seven dollars a month?" lie proposed the health ana promotion of the gallant lorn. ) For the Holly Spriug Guard. A Tippan County wedding. The sun had just declined behind the western world, when sinking behind the hills of Snake Holler, I alighted at a neat little log cabin to stav all night. The land lord came out and requested me to walk in. I stepped to the door dnd found trie house- to be full ofgirls dressed pretty near to death. They commenced bowing and curtcsying, with smiles of every possible dimension, from the smallest movement of the lip to the broadest grin. Just at this time some one announced that the bridegroom was coming. I stepped to the door, and lo my astonishment it was Dr. F. of Tippah, and to cap the climax Uncle Josh was on one side and the Editor of the Gazette just be hind. The men at tho house commenced snibs and sly looks, and the ladies knowing winks; and each seized his hands w ith eager ness, either cracking a joke or smiling in his face as he passed by. Copperas colored clothes were all the rage, and could bo found on the backs of all, except the groom whose suit was closely striped with tho deepest colored Turkey otter. After a short con sultation with Uncle Josh and the Gazette fellow, they ushered him into the house with t It I m t r a contused n-e-m, and cougn. l he hist salutation which fell from his lips was "how is it," without either bowing or touching his beaver. Then the Gazette fellow and Uncle . Josh introduced him to a chair by the side of his bride, which he accidentally did not miss. The Squire standing on the door, called the house to order, and nsked if all was ready. Tl'en Dr. F. and his bride stepped out; he very soon solemnized the rites ol matrimony, to which he added sa lute vour bride no sooner said than done. The waiters and young ladies all kissed them. 1 he Gazette fellow also kissed the bride and bridesmaid. The bride and groom maintained their position, while the most forward would hunt up contributors in the kissing line. Finally, in the rounds, the Gazette fellow hunted down Uncle Jodi come, says he, my friend, you must take a smouchf But Uncle Josh stood motionless smile succeeded blush, and blush succeed ed smile. This little Josh man had on his neck about three little specUed handker chiefs, bound around as tight as could be drawn and finally he plucked up courage enough to walk np and kiss the bride niid groom. Next. the supper came on it was the most interesting part to your humble servant. Then the playing of "old sister Phebe." This was played until near 12 o' clock. In tho playing arrangement ; Uiu L Jo;-h and the Gazette fellow' wero very ef ficient actors. About 1 o'clock the fid. Ho and tidier arrived all hearts leaped for joy at the first scrape of the bow and timr of Hie strings, the room was cleared of bench es, chairs and stools the fiddler had not yet taken his stand when the Gazette fellow stepped forward and announced the arrange ments of the dance: 'J'hos-e who have on store shoes and store pfockinur will hi;K' first; tfiose having on home made shoes and stockings will dance next:ilioo haviivj on shoes without stockings will be entitled to the third dance, and all those who have neither shoes norstockings will dance fourth and last." This he delivered in a most ve hement and inandatorial manner: after which he led out his partner in the first 1 fl'l r . ... uance. ine noor was hut rather lhm v populated. Father Josh belonged to the second dance and was tho first to lead out his partner. They stood at the head, and were entitled to the direction of the dance. After a short consultation with his partner, Josh announced that they would try a i?" just before the jig commenced, it was dis covered that a tall bandy shanked fellow without stockings, had taken his stand at the foot of the company ono universal burst of indignation was expressed, and he poor fellow, was compelled to take his seat. The first notes from the fiddle was scarcely audible, before Josh bounded for the onset; all understood the sign, and caught the fire. In a few minutes the shrill peals of the mu sic were drowned in the general shullle. The dance had thus raged for several min utes when an order was given worthy the most devoted follower of St. Vitas", and Uncle Josh changed positions with his part ner, calling upon his company to "jump high boys," shuffle after shuffle thus dashed off from each "fantastic toe," Uncle Josh always maintaining his position, "jump high boys, old Virginny never tire." At length the jig was brought to a close Uncle Josh got to selling his Liver fixins, while the next dance was getting ready. "Will you go with me to the other house and take a nap?" said an old man with his leather leir- gins and moccasins; thank you sir, said J, bidding good-night to the ladies and gen tlemen.
