The visit to our city of Mr. Oree,
wbo represents tbe Juteroatlonal Com.
mittee of tbe Young Men's Christian
Association, in connection with the
meetings conducted by Messrs. Uerdle,
Sherrard and Post, of the Young Men's
Christian Association of Alabama, baa
awakened an Interest among tbe Chris
tian people of onr city in these organi
zations, and there is a general feeling
that there le a pressing need for effort
in this direction. Oar city shonld
have a first-elan reading room, a good
public library, a course of social and
literary entertainments, and experience
In other cities demonstrates that the
Christian Association Is most success
ful in conducting these agencies. We
have had Associations of this name be
fore, and, although conducted by good
men, tbey have ceased to exist. Tbe
resson for such failure was not that
there waa not a wide field for such ef
fort, bnt that the work for which they
bad been specially called Into existence
was not done. The Young Men's
Christian Association ia not designed
to be a mission to tbe Cbnrches, but is
a misalon of tbe Churches, through
tbelr young men, for a special object,
nsmely, to reach other yonng men.
The need for special effort on behalf
of yonng men la universally conceded.
Tbe fact that ao many are now and have
been away from church influences.
demonstrates tbe need of some agency
tn tbe cbnrcb, and directed by it, to
bring this elass to a knowledge of
Christ end into aympatby with tbe
cbnrcb. The special temptationi of
young men call for nnoeual effort, and
those who are familiar with these
temptations and know tbe bablti and
wante ot yonng men, are the onea best
fitted to deal with tbem.
In reaching them, it Is often desire
ble aud helpful to make efforts which
Include in their scope, other than young
men, but tbe organizations should not
be carried away by auccesa in other di
rections, or discouraged by failure In
their legitimate work, from prosecuting
tbelr speoial mission.
What apecial work can tbey do?
1st. Tbey bold youag men's meetings to
develop Christian young men, and rsacb
those not Christians.
1J. Tboy provide raiding looms and
pleasant places of resort tor young men,
wbo have nut tbi attractions of comfurta
bit homes.
Sd. Tbey conduct leotures and intertaln
menu such as yojng people want, but of a
character to elevate and improve.
4tb. Tbey hold locial tinging meetings,
praise and promise meetinis.
6ib. Ihey conduct meetiogs in districts
where people do not go to Uburvb, i .
school-houses aud neglected neighbor
hoods. In hospitals, Jalla and a'msbouse,
and w tb the sick, the aged and tbe inllrm
tin. Ihey bold open air meetings and

work for otbsn, and are made more useful
in all branches of Christian work.
ltlth. Tbey are aa efficient agenoy of the
cnurcn in bringing young men 10 a anowi.
edge of Christ.
It le hardly neceisary to say that the
Association doea not take tbe place of
tbe church, and that Ita teaching la, that
Ita meetinga mutt not conflict with
;hurch meetings, and that a youug
mau'i first duty U to hli church.
Tbeie organlzatlona In tbla country
now number more than one thouaand,
with a membership of over one hun
dred thousand. The Associations own
property, clear of encumbrance, to the
amount or over two million dollars.
One hundred and twenty-three geueral
secretaries are employed, and over ten
thousand men were provided with em
ployment through this agency during
the past year, its work for young men
is now clearly developed, and ministers
and Christian people are In hearty sym

Uea. Cams. W- Field.
TBI PBESENT DOOB-XItTIB Of THI
HOUSE or BIPBESENTATIVE-.
Gen. Charles W. Field waa bom In
Woodford county, Kentucky, in 1818,
and la consequently sixty yeara old, al
though be carries bis age well. Ills
parents were from Culpepper, Virginia,
where there are still many or tbe fam
ily. In Kentucky, Ilenry Clay took t
great fancy to young Field, and tbe
wboie Field family were ardent friends
of "Barry of tbe West" In 1845,
Field was appointed to West Point
through the Influence of ex-President
Andrew Jackson. He graduated In
1849, and wai aiilgned to the Second
Dragoons, Col. Harney. In 1855, he
was promoted to Lieutenant in a regi
ment of whloh Albert Sidney John
son waa Colonel, and R. E. Lee, Lieu
tenant Colonel. The year following, he
was assigned to West Folnt as com-:
mender of the cavalry of tbat institu
tion. He remained nntil 1861, when
tbe war between the States admonished
bim that be must take sides. He re
signed, and cut bis lot with the South.
Going to Richmond, be tendered his
services to tbe Confederacy, and was
aaaigned to the command of tbe
cavalry school of instruction, near
Richmond, shortly afterwarda be was
given command of the Sixth Virginia
Cavalry. At the second battle of
Uanassea be was made Brigadier-Ueo-
eral for gallant aud meritorious con
duct, but the bttle con him a wound
which came very near taking hie life.
It Is said that no General officer in tbe
war received such a aevere wound and
recovered, lie was confined to bis bed
for neatly a year. In February, 1864,
be again took the Held aa Major-Uen-
eral, and was given command of Hood's
old Division, iu Luuietreet'e Corps.
He made a very gallant and capable
Geueral of DivMon, aud la nearly al
ways spoken of with praise In Lee s
official reports. A Southern historian
speaks as follows of Field and bis Di
vision in tbe doling daya of tbe rebel
lion : "It wai In tbe last d;i of tbe
Confederacy tbat Field's Division
ihoue in Ita greatest and most peculiar
glory. To tbe very day of surrender it
wai remarkable that tbla body of
trooni was in prime conditloo,compact
and brilliant. partaking of none of tbe
disorganlzstlon arouod it, animated by
Hi glorlooi memories and retaining its
arms and spirits to the last."
A short time after tbe surrender,
General Field himself wrote: "I am
proud of my dlvlidon, alwaya was, but
never so proud of It as on that black
9th of April, when, for tbe first time on
tbe retreat, onr army waa an logotner,
aud I could compare tbeir soldierly
appearance and numbers and bearing
witn tbe wreck! aooui me."
He surrendered nearly 5,000 men,
nearly one-half of Lee's army, in arms.
During the memorable last retreat bis
division waa the rear guard. At the
time of surrender, General Field re
lates tbe followlug incident: General
Meade.- wboae army was in the rsar,
tent a request to General Field to con
duct blm through bis imei to uenerai
Lee, wbo wai a mile in front. As
Meade, at the heid of his staff, passed
through Field's division, tho men gath
ered along the route in iquads,attracted
by the spectacle. The two General!
were side by side, converslug.when Gen.
Meade turned to Field, with the re
mark : "Your troopi are very compli
mentary to me." "How ao?" asked
Geo. Fiold. "Why, they say I look
like a rebel." ''Do you take that for a
compliment ?" laid Gen. Field. "To be
sure I do," replied Gen. Meade. "Any
people wbo have shown tbe courage
and spirit yon have, roust have their
admlren everywhere."
Since the war Geo. Field has been
floating about, some of tbe time in
Georgia In the Insurance business, and
often in Virginia with bis relvlveiand
iho-e of his wife, lie lived a few
years in Egypt, having a command lu
the Egyptian army; but returned to
this country to spend bis declining
years and the better to educate bis
ct.l.dreu.

Canton Citizen : Cotton is now abont
as low as it baa been at any time since
the war. Will not planters see tbat it
is because of tbe now ascertained fact
that the crop of last year was the larg
est since the war and govern them
selves accordingly ?
Yazoo Sentinel: We think tbat if
some or these gantlement of lelinre
could be Induced to forsake the city
and retire to the refreshing scenes of
country life, the price of labor wonld
decline and tbe city be relieved of a
very great nuisance.
Meridian Mercury : Will this weak
submission to a great wrong by lead
ing Democrat! and the Democratic
party bring any good In giving it pres
tige and atrength for future contests ;
on the contrary, doee it not bring tbe

people, knowing tbeir opportunity,
hove been improving their time. The
consequence m tbat our farmers are
coniiderably in advance with their

Chickasaw Messenger: We do not
wholly concur In tbe eonclnsfons of the
article from the Vlcksburr Hibald,
published on tbe ootside. We are not
prepared to say tbat we do net blame
tbe Covernor for refusing to sign tbe
Barry bill, but there was so much just
criticism of the Legislature which we
do endorse, tbat we publish the ar

and one person, cbarged with "prowl

lent to the penitentiary for two years.
Tunica Times: In this connty e sad
state of affairs exists, brought on by tbe

Yazio Herald: There are more of

College, at this writing, than were cit
ies that claimed the honor of being the
birth place of Homer. Nearly every
town of any prominence in the Stale
liaa put forward tbeir reasona why tbe
silii College should be located in its
midst, and why it should not be seated
anywhere else.
Brookhaven Ledger: The bill only
regulated the tariff on cotton, and the
Governor Micveil if the railroad waa
restricted iu its charges on one article
it would lucrevc the freight on other
io make up the amouui lost, as It
would have done. Tho people should
rather feel indignant at their rep
resentatives for not iramtng a cor
rect aud proper relief bill, than at the
Governor for failing to approve tbe
bungling tblng passed.
Tupelo Journal: The Hinds County
(iHzette learns tbat "a strong effort will
be made to induce ex-Gov. J. L. At
com to become a caudldite for Con
gress," in the District which Gen.
Cbalmen now represents. That por
tion about "a strong effort to induce,"
is real funny. It's laughable. It'i
tickling. We can tee the ex-Governor
pulling back now, while a host of
his friends are coaxing, trying "to In
duce" him to come out and aerve hli
couutry. Trying to make blm become
a martyr for the sake of tbe old tUg

Caribagenlan : We are Indebted to
the klnduenof a friend in Waibiugton
for tbe letter we to-day publish from
our distinguished Representative,
urging a favorable coniideration of the
claimi of tbe rivers of oar State for
Federal atteution and aid. It is hardly
necessary to add tbat letter waa inp
ported and strengthened by verbal ar
gumeuti of Col. Singleton and oilers
of tbe Mississippi delegation, and If
soch a thing as justice for Southern
enterprises can be obtained from Con
gress, we may rest satisfied tbat we

tbe girl's brother and uncle took her
