Till:. CRISIS.
Tlii.i word has been rung into the ears of
Amorio in pe.ple on various questions and minor
ines until they have begun to regard iSaeflie
imisn i,r "sumiiling brass and tinkling symbols,"
and worthy of uq real consideration. They have
ceasiid to listen to the voice if warning, except to
render their thoughtless applause to some enthu
Mistic orator or to accord the nieani'ugl'eM tribute
if '-pretty smart fellow," to some overweening
writer. True it U that sober thoxght will, for
the time, convince any man of the real danger
which tiircatuns the perpetuity of the Union, but
like Wilkins Micnwber, all are too apt to conclude
ihat something will "turn up" to preserve their
rights, and the Union with them, by some hook or
iToult, and conclude that it is useless to let the
fubje;t longer trouble their minds.
, The fact is, politicians are becoming so selfish
fo, little patriotic, and so roach engrossed by pri
vale interest or personal ambition that they have
lost the power te persuade the people of their
truth. They have cried "Wolf! wolf!" so often
to ud vaiue their own views of individual aggran
dizeuicnt, that their constituency fail to think
about or care for thoir premonition when the fold
iaronlly in danger of destruction. 8uch, however,
is human nature, and hence Borne philosophers
argue the necessity of occasional war and practi
eal damage t ensure the perpetuity of any free
government. Our people are so utterly free and.
ignorant of the direct effect of tyranny, and tlieii-
Government is so far removed from any thing
like one which mnltes felt the immediate influence
of superior power, that they refuse to believe that
any indigenous process, either sudden or gradual,
could bring about, the disastrous result of abso
lutism in nny form.
But neither common sense nor history warrants
this dangerous feeling of security. No private
individual has ever succeeded while he fostered
the idea that his estates, capital or business would
increase, or even remain stationary, without his
personal attention. So in Government the ruling
Dower must study the wants, necessities and
fights of the nation it controls, or the balance
between its own prerogatives nnd. the people's
rights will bo lost, and when this happens, whether
in favor of the people or their rulers, anarchy
roust encroach, and, unless the evil is checked,
iuut prevail. A king who gives up the study of
what is duo to and from others will find his au
thority decreasing, even in a short reign, and his
!eso,ud(iUts will suffer from his laziness and ne
glect. The Teople is King, Emperor, Czar, Sultan,
tortreiyn autioriii, ia the United States, and when
the people lose all idea of, or fail to study, the
slow but steady pace of encroachment, then will
the people lose their prerogative of government,
and Federalism, or individual autocracy, will
override their proud heritage and the rights they
Save corqur-rcd from tyranny. These are gtuh
rtorn facts historical Tacts and proved by innu
merable instances of monarchies, and not unfre
nuent cases of republics. If they were not
axiomatical and self-convincing, it would be easy
to refer to precedents and prove by example.
'" This being the case, it is high time the people
of the South were reflecting upon the slow but
steady advanco of encroachment since the inde
pendence of this country was established. The
Constitution, at first openly praised by every
expression of reverence and respect, lost by de
grees its meed of devotion, until finally it is
attacked, without qualification, by the most
dogmatical fanaticism.
Su sincly as the eun shines the crisis is now
approaching. In truth is the wolf now ready to
spring upon tlio fold. There can be no dunger of
false prphets now ; the fear is that cowardly
politicians or near-sighted speakers may lote all
view of their country's danger or sacrifice every
t.iing upon the altar of self-iuterest and persuade
tin people into a false security. Let the people
beware of such timid or traitoious advice; let
them listen to politicians, but do their own think
ing; and from political quackery and political
facts let them craw the proper inference in respect
ui their own situation.
We have no nfed of the predictions of office
seekers. Political prophecies are nearly always
fu med on the anticipation of increased popularity.
Let us shun them as we would the very evils they
foretell with such a show of pathetic rhetoric.
Let us do our own thinking, with no ether found
ation than the facts aa the records show them to
'wist. The man of ordinary reasoning faculties
Tt-lio does this must see that the South is over
whelmed by a numerical majority ; that that
numerical majority will sooner or Inter effect the
political ruin of our section unless checked by
her own strong hand and her own insulted courage,
.uck a man' will see that it is dishonor to remain
Mationuiy ; that yielding is ruin, and that there
can be no stand-still. Eopcl or submit ; take
your choice of watchwords. Submission will
enlail upon us farther encroachment and dishonor.
Resistance, immediate and decided, may save tho
Union, and also our liberties. Tate your choice
But suppose we jog along until a Tilack Re
publican ia in the White House, and nntil this is
accomplished, of course it is well enough, on the
slavery question, to. make no show of resistance;
what then? Then tho crisis will be upon us.
What shall we do ? Or rather if the electoral
college for I860 see that a Black Republican
President will inevitably be chosen, whot then ?
Let statesmen of eourajo and information furnish
n reply. We shou'J say, let our electors refuse
to vote, and let the government go by the board.
Anarchy is worse than the worst and most despotic
government- but no government at all is better,
infinitoly better, than national disgrace. Let our
Congressmen remain at home; let a Southern
Convention assemble ; and if the North still re
fuses to submit to the Constitution then let us
have n Southern Republic, where rights, privile
ges and freedom maybe secured from encroach
ment, contempt and overthrow.
fits Sickles Traced?. According to the pa
pers, there are rumors afloat in Washington to the
effect that Key and Mrs. Sickles were innocent of
criminal intercourse, and that the printed confes
sions of the latter were extorted from her by liar
husband by threats of personal inj ury, that he
might hove an opportunity of revenging himself
upon an old j-rudge. : This statement is too hor
rible to be believed. Such a monster would not
be .permitted by Heaven to pollute the earth, and
flicklos' position has been high nnd rospeotable
toe long to admit the supposition of such atrocity.
A -'doubly damned villain' must Ve the man who
conceived so.diabolical a slander, if such it be.
The BartFstown (TCy.j Gazette denounces fa no
measured terms the murder of Thomas S. Lowe.
at Hawesville, Ky. The statement of the Gazette
makes the killing no less than downright, cowardly
assassination. II was first attacked and wounded
by Maxwell's Jfrionds, in which affray, his only
friend, a Mr. Aldrich, lost his life. Lowe was then
wounded as he was, oonveyed to jail for security
when the mob, by threats of death, procured the
keys of the prison from the keeper, nnd slew the
incarcerated and wounded object of their hate. It
was a diabolical tragedy, and is exciting much
animadversion throughout the 'country. The
Grand Jury, to cap the climax f villainy, refused1
to find a true bill against the perpetrators of the
outrage. Truly, Kentucky juries have made for
themselves a most enviable reputation
Human life seems to be held at a low valuation
all over the Union. The newspapers of nearly
every State have become converted into mere
records of murderous crimes, nail money appears
to have become an iuvincible fortification against
avenging law . Money is king, the Law a parasite,-
and the verdict against the poor and friendless is
death and a mob the executioner. 0 timpora !

STATE TREVSURER.
Our talented StaSe Librarian, Mr. B. W. San
ders, has been mentioned by communications to
various papers, in conuection with the office of
State Treasurer. Eutire ability to mako an un
exceptionable officer is everywhere conceded to
him. Bat knowing that for the present he has
no ambition to occupy any other position than
the one he now so efficiently fills," we were not
surprised to see his letter of declension in the
last Mississippian, which we reproduce in this
week's issue. Sanders, like everybody else, is
for Col. Hnynes, first and last.
A bright future to him, but for State Treasurer,
hurrah for M. D. Haynes !
Jackson, Miss., March 20, 1858.
Emtoh Mtssissii'piAN : I regret the necessity
of alluding in a public manner to tho recommend
ations in the Mississippinn, suggesting mv name
to the Democracy of the State for the office of
State Treasurer ; But candor imperatively de
mands of me to say that I have friends with'
whom I could never give my consent to come in
competition for any position, and the name of one
has already been spoken of iu connection with
this office.
Tendering my acknowledgements to your cor
respondents for the manner iu which they have
alluded to me, I must say that my name will not
go before the Democratic Convention. The duties
of my present office, I am led to believe, from
many evidences of approval, I have discharged
to the satisfaction or all, nnd being engaged in
pursuits of a character which render it desirable
as well as necessary I will be perfectly satisfied
to hold it for another term.
Very truly, vour friend,
BEN. W. SANDERS.

their attack on the American troops on the
Colorado, had arrived at its destination, and
w is making favorable progress in the cam
paign, although the; have been unable to
draw tho Indiana into any decisive ong'igo

the gold districts of the Stale, and the miners
were doing well. '
Business at San-Francisco was quiet, and
the market was generally unchanged.

Another battle is reported to have taken
place between fifty United States troops, uu

in this decision.
Wo like to see in Southern papers expressions
like the following, taken from the Port Gibson
Reveille. If Buchanan is politically dead, then
he has suffered martyrdom for this section, and
is entitled to its lasting gratitude and admiration :
We have no sympathy with Stephen Douglas
nnd none with thoso of the South who can find it
in their hearts to war upon James Buchanan We
remember Mr. Buchanan as one of the old Demo
cratic Guard, and as one of that faithful band of
conservative statesmen who have adhered to the
rights of the States, irrespective of sectionalism
or fanrticism, and held with unyielding fidelity to
the Federal Constitution. We glory in him yet,
and though the demagogues nnd disorganizes
may snarl and snap at him, he is faithful none
the lees, and the light of other days Will show
that his name and fame grow brighter with age,
while his defumers will be dead and turned to
dust.
FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
OUR NEXT SENATOR.
Mr. Editor: The time is at band when the
good people of Yazoo county should designate a
proper candidate, irrespective of party, to repre
sent then, in the Senatorial branch of tho nxt
Legislature. I say, to represent Yazoo as well as
the other counties composing this District; for it
will not be contended that Gen. Starke represent
ed this county when he cast his vote for the Levee
Tax of the last Legislature, against the known
wishes of the tax-payers of this county. I can
see no just reason why thi swamp lauds of Yazoo
should be loaded with a tax to bnild up a levee on
the Mississippi River, while the same character
of lands of tho counties of Carroll, Holmes and
Warren were exempted, although situated pre
cisely the same. And as Gen. Starke has failed
to give his constituents of this county a just reason
why he cast his vote thus, to discriminate against
them, I conclude he has Done to offer.
Hon. W. L. Johnson aud Hon. H. J. Thomas
proved themselves the faithful servants of Yazoo,
and either of those gentlemen would receive the
united votes of this county. YAZOO.

is by no means easy to conceal our poverty.
It is less difficult to hide a thousand dollars

never had an onnortunitv of concealing their

them. This they can readily secure by en--closing

Brief History of Four Bask Clerks.
A writer in the New York Tribune states
that, in the winter of 1854-55, four youug
bank clt.rks used to meet euchre playing
alternately at their residences in Brooklyn.
These meetings continued pleasantly for
awhile, the pari) keeping early hours, and
no gambling being allowed. A year later
the party was not reorganized, but met ac
cidentally on Chiibtmaa eve at a raffle in
Brooklyn. The dowi.ward path was already
entered upou. The lesults sum up as fol
lows: One of the young men is traveling in
Europe, his bondsn.en having paid $3,000
for him, in which sum he was in default at
the bank where he was employed. Another
is in the Sing Sing prison for forgery. The
third is Oscar S. Field, the recent defaulter
in Brooklyn, and now wandering with the
mark of Cain upon his brow, tho murderer
of his own peaee and of the happiness of his
family. The fourth communicates these
facts, and concludes his story thus : "And as
the latter casts a glance ovr the past a
shudder creeps through his frame as he
thinks ovor the fate of his companions, and
thanks a merciful God that save 1 him from
the abyss into which he had almost plunged
himself."
Death of Ge.-j. Haskell. We regret
to announce the death of Gen. Win. T. Has

Medical. Dr. D. D. Martin, for several
years a successful practitioner in Madison
county, in this State, has removed to this
city for the purpose of practicing his profes
sion. We take pleasure in introducing him
to our readers, for we feel assured that they
will be mutually pleased with each other
when they become better acquainted with
tho good qualities that so distinguish their
respective characters. Dr. Martin is in truth
nno of the most promising physicians in the
State, and wo predict for him a successful
career in our city. He has the talent, the
forcu of character, tho energy and tho expe
rience to make his mark in any community
and take rank alongside of the most eminent
of those who have distinguished themselves
in the medical world. Vkksburg Sun.
Almost akother Sickles) Affair. Since
the Sickles affair at Washington, it is danger
ous to look at a woman. A case in point oc
curred in this city last evening, at a fashion
able boarding house. It appears that while
the boarders were at tea, a female from the
West took offence because one of the males
sitting on the opposite side of the table, hap
pened to look at nor, and indignantly pitch
ed a tumbler of wafer into his face. The as
tonished male followed suit, and threw a
tumbler of water into bor face j whereupon
her son ran np stairs, obtained a pistol, and
blazed away at the man, without, however,
the load taking effect. The young mon then

UNION OP THE MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL AND-1
TENNESS1W CENTRAL KOAD3.
On Tuesday, the 8th inst., the Director's
of tho above two Railroads met at Bolivar,
Tennessee, for the purpose of consolidating
the roads. A basis 6f union was agreed up
on, by tho two Boards, and the roads will be
blaoded into one in fact, ns tlioy are now
virtually, whenever the stoeaholuers of our
road ratify tho action of their Hoard, which
they will rendily aud cheerfully uo when
ever they meet.
This is an event in the history of our
Railroad over which our citizens may well
rejoice. By tho Union tho Mississippi Cen
tral is lengthened fifty miles, the distance
from Junction to Jackson, Tennessee. The
northern end of the Road, completed and
running, is now 134 miles long. The whole
length of the road, when finished, will be
9X7 miloa flnntn i Miss will h the
southern, and Jacksop, Tenn.the northern
terminus of this creat thoroughfare. At
Jackson the Central will intersect the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad, running to Cairo,,
and at Canton tho New Orleans Railroad.
While the work of consolidation is going
on, it would be a grand idea to unite the
Mississippi Central and the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad. It
would be to the i uteres t of both Companies,
as well as a great benefit to the State, to
place the two. roads under one management,
and have one uninterrupted trunk Road:
from New Orleans to Jackson,, Tenn., or
Cairo. This will undoubtedly be done one
day, and the sooner tho better. Passengers-
could then take the cars tit either end, and
proceed through without being subjected to
the inconveniences and annoyances of chan
ging cars, re-checking baggage, buying new
tickets, etc. The Roads wero built for the
purpose of facilitating travel, and the better
transportation of freight. J hey never can
accomplish tho object so well divided as
they could united,
Vo hope that such a union will speedily
be made. We want to marry New Orleans-
in earnest. And therefore object to a wall
running up and down tho nuptial couch with
her on ono side nud us on the other. Let
this little obstruction at Canton be thrown
out of the way, and the pooplo of New Or
leans aud North Mississippi married iu dead.
earnest.
We would then have one of tlie largest
and greatest Railroads in the w uld.. Trav
ersing the entire length, and through the
vwy centre of our State, it would be the
great trunk from which branches would be
bnilt. Tho stockholders of our road, we
think, would willingly accede to an honor
able union of tho two ioteiests, and as it
would be vastly bonenVial, wo base little
doubt shareholders in both Companies would
ratify such an action on the part of their
executive Boards. O.rford Mercury.

SENSIBLE HINTS TO THE SOUTH.
If tho delegates to the Southern Conven
tion will take note of a few particulars on
their way, perhaps they will find food for
reflection more valuable than has hitherto
becu submitted in resolutions and manifes
toes. -
They will start in some stago or railroad
coach made in the North ; an engine of
Northern manufacture will take their train
aud boat along; at every meal they will sit
on Yankee chairs,wto a Yaukea table, spread
with a Yankee cloth. With a Yankee spoon
they will take from Yankee dishes sugar.
salt and coffeo which have paid tribute to
lankce trade, and with lankeo knives and
forks they will put into their mouths the
only thing Southern they will get ou the
trip.
At night they will pulKiff a pair of Yan
kee boots with a STankeo boot-jack, and
throwing a lot of Yankee toggery on a Yan
kee chair, he down to dream of southern
independence on a Yankee bed, with not
even a thread of cotton around them that
has not gono through a Yankee loom or
come out of a i ankce shop.
In the morning they will getip to fix
themselves by a 12 by 11 Yankee looking
glass, with a Yankee brush and comb, after
perhaps washing off a little of the nil of the
tsoutb from their laces, with water drawn in
a Yankee bucket, and put in a Yankee
pitcher, on a Yankee wahstand, tho partner
in honorable exile with a lot oi l ankce
wares thata make np the sum of the furui
ture.

We extract the following from the N. 0
Crescent, ol the 21st instant :
Tlie mangled and headless trunk of a white
woman was found floating in the river op
posite the lust Dwtnct, on Saturday morn
ing. It was brought ashore, and the Coro
ner sent for. Everything declared the body
to be that of ono of the victims of the late
terrible explosion of the Trincess, near Baton
Rouge. The head was entirely gone. Half
the lett arm was -gone, lhe nglit hand was
broken. One of the legs was broken below
the knee, the flesh being torn away to the
bone where broken, a lie body, though
somewhat advanced in decomposition, still
bore maiks which could be clearly traced to
scalding. The body was well formed, small
in the weist, and from other indications was
judged to be that of a young or unmarried
woman, lhe OLly garments npon it were a
checked muslin-delaine dress, of a reddish
brown, a corset, chemise, stocking, and pru
nollo nhoes. A careful search was made fur
marks or initials, but none found. The Cor
oner returned the best verdict he could under
the circumstances. A pieco of the dress
and one of the shoes were taken to the Cor
oner's office, to be kept for the inspection of
those who may have Joh female friends or
relatives by the" Princess explocion.
