Yazoo Democrat. WILLIAM S. EPPERSON, EDITOR Wednesday, morning Nov. 23, 1853. CCJr By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that our old county-man and ex sheriff R. L. Adams has engaged in the commis sion business in New Orleans. It is hardly nec essarr for us to say to the citizens of this county, for they all know know Mr. Adams, that any business confided to his care will receive faithful and promptattention. Success to friend Adams in his agw enterprise he is worthy of it where ever he goes. Official Vote or Yazoo County In another column we publish the total vote of Yazoo'county for State and District officers, The names of the county officers are merely given without their re speqjive majorities. (Q"The returns from the election for this State are not yet complete sufficient however, have been received to satisfy even the most un willing believer, that the anti-Foote Democracy hare swept the Sta'e carrying by handsome majorities, he State Legislative and Congres sional eiekets. We will publish the official re turns, for future reference, as soon as received. CCDf" Read in another column of the splendid inducements offered at the prize drawing of N. L. Whitman. "There isa tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Remember this, and think from the time you pocket the ticket that "your guardian star rains fortune on you." CCTRead the notice of Messrs. Cook & Brumfield in another column.. All kinds of Drugs and Medicines, Books, Stationery &c, may be had at their new Drug Store. Valedictory. With this number of the "Democrat" my con nexion which haw existed far two years, with it as Editor ceases. In taking my leave, would that I could say something pleasant and enter taining. Usually on farewell occasions, tears freely flow; but I have no "tears to shed" and of course shall not "shed diem now." Not that I can withdraw from the editorial chair without any regrets, for I have formed associations and had intercourse with congenial spirits with whom it was a pleasure to mingle in what seem ed to be fierce paatisan strifes, and political war fare, aud cannot say it is wholly without regret that I withdraw from the association. But these regrets vanish when 1 reflect that a keener blade will be wielded with a stronger arm in the de fence of the great principles that it has been the province of the "Democrat" to advocate- Be sides, the position in which I have been placed by the kindnass of my fellow citizens, irrespect ive of part', renders it necessary that I should lay aside the editorial quill, and in dissolving this connexion, permit me, kind readers, to crave your pardon for any offence I may have commit ted in attempting to discharge the duties devolv ing upon me. Let me say to you in the language of Gloster to his King aud princely Peers, " If I unwittingly, or in my rage. Have aught committed thatvis hardly borne By any in this presence, I desire To reconcile me to his friendly peace; Tis death to me to be at enmitv ; I hate it, and desire all good men's love." To the corps- editorial I return my sincere thanks for the kindness and courtesy they have upon all proper occasions, extended to me, and ray parting wish to them is, that they may all be prosperous and happy blessings which sel dom fall to the lot of Editors. "A heart warm fond adieu," to my fair neigh bor of the "Whig." "We have had some happy hours together," and if they were disturbed by occasional jars, it was only momentary like a ripple made by the dip of a swallow's wing up- the smooth and peaceful surface of a summer's lake, it soon passed away and was forgotten. May its surface never again be disturbed, but may the feelings of our hearts like the waters of the sweet vale of Avoco L rever be "mingled in peace." In conclusion. I would earnestly recommend to the support and patronage of the public, Mr. Efpeksgn, who now takes charge of the li Demo crat." He is a gentleman of fine talents and ex tensive acquirements, and no doubt will con duct the paper with marked ability and to the entire satisfaction of the party. With my thanks to the people of Yazoo for the liberality with which they have sustained the "Democrat" while under my charge. I am respectfully, S. M. PHILLIPS. Nework Politics-Ex Collector Broown and Col. Davis. "As goes the Empire State, so goes the coun try" was a prediction made by an experienced politician; and the frequency of the fact, attests the veracity of the remark. In the complicated condition of New York politics ample materia may be found of both a curious and interesting character. The harmony ef the Democratic party of that State one year ago, gave ample assurance of a splendid triumph iu the general election The most violent canjecture that was made as to the probable extent of the Democratic majority was fully vindicated by the result. The scene has changed. Subsequent events show clearly that the union of the party was temporary and formed for sel fish ends. The base ingratitude of Ex-Collector Bronson, who having been appointed to one of the most profitable offices in the State, proceeds to work the disorganization of the party by exer cising unwarrantable and arbitrary power in the selection of his officials. The remonstrance of the administration stirred within him a spiri of insubordination, and draw from him a reply couched in language gross and disrespectful. A decapitation followed: an act which the party demanded and at which they rejoice. This noble act of the President, was followed by an indig nation meeting of the merchants of New York, who, in the course of their proceedings, essayed, to regulate the affairs of the nation, and also to mollity the wrath of Mr. Brouson by proffering him sympathy, arid entering a solemn protes- tan dum. Conceiving himself in the condition of an in jured man', Judge Bronson squares himself for a general defence, and on the first round aims at Col. Davis a blow for daring to insinuate that he was an advocate of free-soilism His defence, has had the effect of fixing the charge more firmly upon him. In conclusion we quote from the "Washington Union" of 5th November. "Judge Bronson was invited to attend and ad dress a meotin in the Park "for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of Martin Van Bureu for the presidency, and contributing to the exten sion of free-soil, and the perpetuation of free la bor. To this invitation he replied, when he was appointed Judge, he deemed it proper to withdraw frum all active participation in the political conflicts of the day, and this is theonly reason assigned by him for not accepting the in vitation. But he still claimed the right to express his opinionsand he proceeded to do so, with a full ess, a distinctness and heartiness which could not but be entirely satisfactory to Martin Van Buren himself. It amazes us that Judge Brou son should now make an issue on the allusion of Col. Davis. But comment is unnecessary his own letter of 1818, is.a complete answer to hip letter of 1853. We cannot however, refrain from observing, that if any doubt existed before as to the propriety of his removal, non can exist now he not only does not retract his senti ments of 1848, but avows them still, and is, therefore, to all intents and purposes, a free soil er in sentiment, and for that cause his removal is justified, as well as for the causes before an nounced." OCiT It will be understood upon reading the above validictory, that the control of the Yazoo Democrat has passed into our hands. This be ing the first office of a public character, that we were ever called upon to filled, feelings of trepi dation are naturally experienced. But as we ap proach the editorial chair with great mistrust of our qualifications to discharge its duties, we are by no means ignorant of the labor and responsi bilities, belonging to the post. In taking our position, we have reason to rejoice at finding the party to which we belong, lbrgely in the ascend' Nov Nov. 7th. 8th and 9th; Memphis. Tenn, Nov int and the principles of that party m success. ! Hth and 12th; Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. -6th and ul administration. It will be not less our duty j711; Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 10th; Napoleon Steam-Boat Burnt. We learn from the Vicksburg Whig of the 17th inst, that the steamer Valant, a regular Vicks burg and Yazoo City packet, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday the 15th below a place called Cardiff, on the Yazoo river. This unfortunate catastrophe u supposed by the officers to have resulted from the leaking or bursting of a demijohn of turpentine, or spirits of wine. The liquid escaping from the vessel, passed through the floor of the boiler deck and fell on the hot furnace below. In a very few minutes the flames burnt through the cabin floor, and spread with such fearful rapidity, that the boat was immediately run ashorse, and before Mr. AHain, the clerk, had succeeded in getting the passengers ashore, the office was completely invelloped with fire, so that all efforts of his to secure the books and papers belonging to the boat proved abortive. The passengers barely had time to escape with their lives, loosing their en tire baggage. A raftsman name Potter is mis sing and is supposed to have perished in the flames, from the"fact that he had a short time be fore the calamity occurred, gone to sleep in an intoxicated state. Among the names of the pas sengers we notice that of Lt. Col. A. G. Bennett, U- S. A., sister and daughter. Col. Bennett lost in addition to many valuable papers, a large sum of monay. Capt. Brown lost all of his papers, clothes and SI, 100 in money. The Volant has been in the Vicksburg and Yazoo trade for several years, and was manned by a clever set of officers and conducted to the satisfaction of every body. She was owned jointly by J. C. Brown, her commander, Mr. Dent, the pilot and Messrs. Crutcher&McRaven of Vicksburg, and was not insured. From the Vicksburg Sentinel. MAIL BURNT. Letters for Yazoo City, sent in the mail from Vicksburg, on November 15th, were destroyed by the burning of the steamboat Volant, while on her passage from this place to Yazoo City, and contained a large letter mail from the following places: INew Orleans, Nov. 12th; St. Louis. 03 Below will be found a letter written by f Col. Davis, vindicating himself from the charge of Disunion made against him by Mr. Toombs. As every thing written by the gallant and chiv alric Secretary, is looked to by the party with unusual interest, we publish the entire corres pondence as it appears in the " Savanah Geor gian." A great depravity in moral sentiment is discovered by the preferer ot the charge. It will be seen that the allegation is successfully met and wholly confuted, and that the accuser was prompted by malice or some other demon pas sion to the use of such libellous language. Col Davis also takes occasion to define his position relative to some very important political ques tions, upon which it seams a wrong construction has oeen placed : LETTER FROM JEFFERSON DAVIS, ESQ. Washington, D. C, Sept, 2lst, 1S53. V. A. Gaskill, Esq: Sir Your letter of the 20th ult. arrived here during my absence, niul ill- health has combined with constant occupation thus far, to delay my reply. Before proceeding to notice the political ques tions to which vou call my attention, 1 will dis pose of the personal accusations which you in form me, Mr. Toombs has made against me. You say, "ne denounced you as a uisuniomst sitting in the councils ot the nation. During the con troversy of 1850, in relation to the rights of the South, aud the duties of the General Government, in the Territories acquired irom Mexico, my at tention was called, in debate, to the fact that in certain newspapers, 1 had been charged with a desire to dissolve the union. Believing it to be the work of base men who concealed themselves behind the instruments they employed. I then said before the Senate, it any gentleman makes the charge I will answer him in monosyllables. It was well understood that the answer would not be less harsh than it is false. Such is my answer now. In that long and exciting controversy, my opin ions were freely expressed. They are spread on the volumes ot Congressional debates, auJ to them 1 refer to disprove all allegations made against my fealty to our constitutional Union. Sulsequently, (1851) when engaged in a canvass n Mississippi, whilst 1 declared the opinion that a Sovereign and equal member of the Union. lad a right to withdraw from the rontederation, also spolte ol it as the last remedy the final resort; one to which, under existing circumstan ces, Mississippi should not appeal, and such was the position ot those with whom 1 acted; as is shown by the resolutions ot the convention which nominated the State ticket of 1851. Though 1 have been made somewhat familiar with the excesses of partisan conflict, I aina lit tle surprised at this accusation because of the nine lroin which it comes. As a member ol Congress, and by personal intercourse, Mr. Toombs lias fiad full opportunity to know that he accusation is false, and I am sure that a com parison of the position taken by Mr. Toombs ami mvself, will show that my most ardent language never reached the extreme to which he went, both t-ef'TeHiid long after the measures, common ly culled the Conn promise of 1850, had been pre sented, and the principles and constiiutiunul rights involved had been fully discussed. in conclusion of this matter, 1 witl only say that I cannot very highly appreciate the mora! sentiment of a man who is prone to believe, rea ly to assume, that one who desires to destroy the fj'iion would be willing to hold a place in its councils, and swear to support its constitution, and he who makes such charge iigainst me, does so gratuitously, an.l thereby assu.'.s m.1 that he is radically false and corrupt, I send you printed copies of the speeches 1 made at Philadelphia and New York, which you can compare with the representations whichvyou inform me, have been made of my remarks in relation to a railroad to the Pacific Ocean. You will not fail to observe that the only point on which I claimed to express the views of the Pres ident was an assurance of strict regard for S'.atc Rights. In relation to the construct isn of a rail road, my remarks are directed to the first ques tion, that is the constitutional power of the Gen eral Government. The power of the Govern-, ment, under certain condition?, is held to ex tend to the construction of a railroad within the lim its of Territories belonging to the United States. He, who denies this, must also deny the power to construct wagon roads, for which appropria tions were made by the last Congress for the ter ritories of Minesoto, Oregon and Washington and with the disbursement of which, I am now charged. He must deny the jurisdiction which has been so long exercised over the Tern tone? by tie General Government; and finally find himse.f on he same platform w ith a sect, w hich arrayed the sovereignty of the Territorial nihah itants, as a barrier to federal legislation for the protection ot a slave holders property, who should migrate from a Southern State, one of the joint owners of that Territory, to become an in habitant of it. Within the limits of the State, the action of the Federal Government is restric ted so that it could not exceed the aid which might be given to a private company, and that 1 have held, on other occasions, was iimited to the interest in the work which the Government had as a landed-proprietor. The rule on which Congress lias made grants of contiguous lands. aim me ngni oi way in aid oi tne construction of roads. Beyoud the questions of practicability and expediency. The practicability will be more intelligibly discussed, when the surveys, direc ted to be made by the late Congress, have been completed. They are now in progress, and I have not attempted to foretell their results. The expediency is to be considered in connec with all the political physical, and administra tive questions which enter into H- The mode of execution, the last to be decided, is the first it seems to me presented for objections; and I am held responsible for a particular plan of proceed ing, when I had proposed none, when, from the dependence of the plan and means of execution upon the location of the route, I had not consid ered it posssble to decide on the best mode of proceeding, until alter the route had been loca- Then, and not tin tnen. can any one esu Election Returns OF YAZOO COUNTY OFFICIAL. .

There are men who supposing Providence to have an implacable spite against them, bemoan, in the poverty of a w recltied old age, the misfortunes of their lives Luck for ever ran against them, and for others. One. with a sood profession, lost his Jyck in a river, where he idles away his time a fishing when he should have been in bis office. Anoth er, with a good trade, persetually burnt up. his luck by his hot temper, which provoked all his employers to leave him. Another, with a lu crative business, lost bis luck by amazing dili genre at everything bat his business. Another, who steadily followed his trade as steadily fol lowed his bottle. Another, who was honest and constant to his work, erred by perpetual misjudgments he lacked discretion. Hundreds lose their luck by endorsing, by sanguine specu lations, by trusting fraudulent men, and by dis honest gains. A man never has good luck who has a bad wife. I never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent mans careful of his earn ings, and sHrtckly honest, who complained of bad luck. A good character, good habits, and iron industry, is impregnable to the assaults of all the ill luck that fools ever dreamed of. LOCAL. Thegvnerul health of the city at present ve ry good, a few cases of fever have within the last week been reported, but we understand they are all convalescent. Business is becoming active. and the cotton season has fairly commenced. Our streets are daily crowded with wagons from this, and adjoining counties, and trade which has so long been paralysed by the epidemic, has re covered from the slroke, and seems to be anima ted by a vigorous and heulihy spirit. Our merchants have all received and opened their &11 stocks, and the lateness of the season induces them to offer goods at unusually tow prices. The river, although too low to admit the passage of large steamers, si ill furnishes wa ter sufficient for those ot light draught, so that tlie traveling community need not tear of deten tion at this place. For the condition of our market, we refer to our corrected price-current. CCTf" Reader, do you know what writing for newsjwpers means? It means writing in haste, against the inclina tion, without opportunity for reflection, correc tion, or chance to get information. It means dressing for a ball in the dark; painting a pic" ture with a single brush for all collors; answer ing questions in science from memory, and ques tions of fact from imagination. It means at tempting the impossible, and making fools be lieve vou have done it. Worse than that w orst of all, it means writing quantity in place of qual' ity, diluting flasks of fragrant with pails of taste water; passing off hollow tubes for the bars of solid metal, selling your soul to the devil the painter's for a mess of pottage; sacrificing fu ture fame to present necessities.

The deceased was a native of Tennessee, but for many years had been a resident of this diace. His acquaintance was extensive, and he number ed his friends by the hundred. Urbane in his manners and social in his intercourse among men, he won the esteem and confidence of all who knew him, and it was the ruling principle of his life to cherish friendship, and to avoid incurring the hatred of any one. He delighted faithfully to discharge his trusts, and in the ordinary tran sactions of men, he was honest and obliging.

With many others he too fell a victim to the pestilence that lately infested our city. But it is a consolation to his friends and relatives as it is also to the writer of this notice, to know, that he died as he had lived, a temperate, moral and an honest man. His place may be supplied but cannot easily be filled, and as the most enviable reward of virtue is a fond remembrance of the departed, the wri ter indulges the, hope that the recollection of Al- phonzo B.
