Dear Clarion: In une, 18GG, I was Induced to attend the Commencement Exercises at the University of Mississippi So great was the treat, no other engagements have Induced me to be absent since on occasions of the kind. The exercises closing the pres-cnt session seem of unusual interest; but, as I have much to refer to, my preamble must be brief.

FIKST 1AY SO-DAY. The Annual Commencement Sermon was preached bv Rev. Ir. A. J.

Iiaird, pastor of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Xashville, and was a masterly presentation of Divine Truth, from the text I Cor. 3 :13. "Every rcan's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it. because it shall be revealed by fire; and the lire shall try every man's work of what sort it The spacious University Chapel was occupied at an early hour by perhaps the largest and mot splendid audience that ever assembled within its walls; and the earnest, warmhearted, and, at times, truly eloquent utterances of this distinguished divine, held them spell-bound for about one hour. The discourse was addressed to the students of the University, whose bright and intelligent countenances, up-turned to the speaker, manifested the extraordinary interest inspired by the noble, christian sentiments and wise counsels he was Imparting to them.

In beautiful forms ol varied illustration aud classic diction. He used no notes, but spoke untratnmeled and with great fervency. Dr. Balrd is a gentleman of polished suavity ot manner, and refined and christian culture. His discourse exhibited no contemptible propensity to indulge in display of learning or eloquence, but yet It did show that he possessed the native and acquired resources, upon which he drew at will, to enforce and render attractive the great practical truths he was preenting.

Dr. B. also preached at night to a crowded and appreciative auditory in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. SECOND DAY MONDAY. This la the Sophomore Prize Declamation Day.

Two new members have been added to the Board of Trustees by appointment of Governor Ames Col. John Duncan, of Jackson, and Gen. A. M. West, of this place.

Tuey fill the places made vacant by the death of Ex-Governor cKae and Rev. IJr. Bestor. The new appointees are valuable acquisitions to the Board, and ill labor with intelligence, zeal and efficiency in maintaining and promoting the success of the University. The University buildings, dormitories, and grounds, require repairing and renovating, which will be thoroughly attended to during vacation.

Let us hope that the next session wiU open ith a larger list of students than ever before. In all its appointments, the University challenges the confidence and patronage" of all parents who desire for their sons a thorough, practical and finished education; while in no similar institution in the land, are the expenses of the student so moderate a consideration not to be despised in times like the present. The University does no depend alone for its success on the seiitimentof "State pride" among the people which, in the matter of educating our sons at home, is not at as high a pitch as itshould be but she depends chiefly upon her ample facilities, and her past success in training young men for the various callings and professions in life.

Caxto.v, June 24, Dear Clarion: Fur many yenrs St. Johns' Day has not heen ho generally observed in Mississippi. The demonstration here was very creditable to the brethren of the Celestial City. 1 will briefly state the exercises of the day. At nine o'clock, the special train from Jackson arrived bearing a full delegation from Tearl and sijias Irowii Lodges, and Jackson Com-mandery.

No. also the splendid Brass Band. At ten o'clock, the brethren having all assembled at the Baptist Church, the Grand Lodge was opened by Grand Master Gathright. A procession was then formed, marching around the Square, to the Methodist Church, where much of the beauty and loveliness of Canton had already assembled. The orator of the day was Past Grand Master Giles M.

llillyer, and right, well did ho sustain his reputation as an orator and Masonic writer. The music by the choir was approprinte and excellent. At two o'clock, the procession was re-formed, and proceeded to the I'earce House, near the depot, where a sumptuous dinner was served, demonstrating if such thing were necdedT-the hospitality of the citizens of Canton. It has been a pleasant day, in all respects, and we of Jackson reiurn, with ''music by the feeling that it was good to have been here. LOGAN.

STATE FAIR. Orciilur from tlie Committee. Jackson, May, 29th, I SOU At a meetins of the Planters', Manufacturers' and Mechanics' Association of the State of Mississippi, held in this city in January last, it was unanimously resolved to hold a State Fair at the city of Jackson, on the fourth Tuesday in October next, and a Committee of Arrangements was appointed to make the necessary preparation to carry this resolution into, effect. The following plan of organization has been adopted A Joint Stock Company has been formed, consisting of Life Members and Annual Member. Any person who subscribes the sum of fifty dollars becomes a Stock-holder and Life Member, and has the privilege with his family, to attend all the fairs that may be hereafter held and exhibiting any article, stock, free of charge.

Those who subscribe ten dollars, become Annual Members, and have the privilege of attending all exhibitions held during the year of subscribing, and exhibiting any articles, stock, Ac, free of charge. The sum of $7,000 has been already sub scribed, most of it by citizens of Jackson, and arrangements arc being made to commence the erection of suitable buildings at once. It is uesireu to increase uie suuscup- tion to 25.000. This is not a local Fair, but has been projected by leading planters and manufacturers from all parts of the State, and designed to be carried out In an enlarged and liberal spirit, and to rival in magnitude and importance, the celebrated State Fairs of Kentucky and other Western States. Such an Association of Planters, Manufacturers, Mechanics and Horticulturalists, is indis-pcnsible to develop the vast resources of Mississippi.

Our great need is material reconstruction. We trust that the leading men of every calling and profession throughout the State, will join us and throw the-weight of their influence and example in favor of this great work. ket every Mississippian who reads this circular, interest himself to get his neighbors to become members of this Association, and to attend the Fair on the Fourth Tuesday of October next, and bring with them such articles or stock as they may have for exhibition. Especially do we exhort the ladies, who are always foremost in every good work, to take hold of this matter and make it a grand success. Let them come and brine their nice samples of butter, cake, breaS, wine, meats, embroidery, quilts, It is expected and desired that owners and breeders of stock, and manufacturers from other States, will attend and exhibit their stock, manufactures, agricultural implements, machinery, etc.

They are cordially invited to be present, and will meet with a hearty welcome. The premium list has not yet heen prepared, but will be issued in due season. In the meantime we announce that premiums will be awarded for all classes of stock and articles usually exhibited at State Fairs. The terms of admission of stock, machinery, for premiums, will be fixed at very reasonable rates. Special Committees will be appointed to examine all articles not embraced in any list, and award such premiums and make such notice as will be satisfactory to parties interested.

uts ot Dasbt's Pbofhtlactic Fi.cu "I consider it important never to be without H. ed be very much excited about it, and seemed to think that any one who said anything about it in the Convention, or out of it, was making some attack upon his prospects; 1 did not believe him to be under the influence of liquor at any time after the first day; I do not know how much he drank during hU stay in Memphis I saw him at bo time after leaving Memphis antil afler the homocide; when I met him first ia Memphis, my conclusion was that he had been drinking, aud 1 told him so; that he could not pursue his scheme properly before that kind of Convention under histate of excitement; that he ought to quit drinking, get cool, and to study his subject. He assured me that he was not drinking, that he had only taken three drinks that day. The next time that I saw him, that made any impression ion me, was when he was writing that note yf challenge to his uncle that made an impression on me as something very remarkable. The last time I saw him was after be had had the difficulty with Col.

Crandall; he was unusually excited for a sane man; I don't know whether he had been drinking or not; the morning of the affair with Crandall, I only saw him take a glass of wine; his excitement, actions and manners at that time produced the impression upon me that he was deranged, and 1 so told Col. Hamilton when I got here; I did not look upon it at that time as the result of intoxication; I do not know if he had been drinking; he appeared to be very much excited and denounced Crandall bitterly. By the Commission: When I made the remark to Col. Hamilton, that I believed Col. Yerger was deranged, and would not come back, it was my candid opinion.

i toEngUnovolty an aquarium of wcrv Krmmj were Bamea lucnara mna cupnen; their father was named Dickey Haynes; the father of Dickey Haymes went to his hatter's shop one morning, and at dinner which he had regularly at 12 o'clock at his sister's, house --he did not bring Ms pet dog with him his sister asked him where the dog was he said he had made a hat out of it; so she seat a boy to see what he had done with it, and they found that he had sewed the dog up ia a bag and had pntit in a kettle of ooxe. lie did divers other things; be would fight and tear up things he could come across; he would go round to the neighbors' houses, stripped, and they had to confine him some ten or twelve days; they afterward let him jro where he wanted, with a boy following behind him; bat they had to confine him; they had to chain him down, and his hands were handcuffed; when he went about with boy following him, he had a straight-jacket on I don't know when hedied he was sent to Kentucky to the Asylum Mrs. Scott had a sister deranged; how they discovered that, was: she got up one morning from the breakfast table; the cook-woman had a baby, and the lady went out and picked up the child and put it in the fire she did'nt do much of anything else, for they put her in a straight jacket; she got violent, and they could'nt do anything with her, and they fastened her up in a room Mrs. Judge Scott was my old mistress I always thought she was deranged she did things to me that no one would have done except a deranged person; she never had reason to give me a cross word, and I never had trouble, and vet she would sometimes take me and give me '2l) or 30 lashes, and afterward she would come to me and say she was sorry, and she did'nt know what she had done it for. Her folks all believed she was crazy she had a way of sitting down in company, and then she would slip off, and they could not find her till next morning she had these spells regularly till we were Drought here to this country; she died out here.

Two sons of Dickey Havnes were craiy; one got killed in a craiy spell, on account of a young lady; the other one did'nt do anything except go about the street they put him in a tight jacket, and he died in his tight jacket; that was Stephen. I came to this country with Mrs. Judge Scott; she lived with Mrs. George Yerger, in Vicksburg, and died there she had two or three spells after she came out here, and died in one of them she used to get so she could not move, and she was hallowing and screaming; and she would never let any one come round her but me; I was there when she died. By Judge Advocate: I came from Knoxville, Tennessee; I don't know how long since I have been here some 14 or 15 years; lam older than the prisoner; Mrs.

Sally Yerger, the mother of the prisoner, was the daughter of Mrs. Judge Scott there were four brothers to Mrs. Yerger. Haynes was the brother by Mrs. Judge Scott I know he was crazy he was not grey he was quite a young man when he went crazy; he was lately married the first time that he went crazy; I knew of my own knowledge the condition of these persons; I was waiting on Richard Haynes two or three times a day; I cooked for them all; I think my old mistress was crazy, just from the way she acted she would slip away from the company, and any person that has got any sense would not do so.

TESTIMONY OF D. C. HERNDON. I reside in Jackson. I have known prisoner about sixteen months.

I became acquainted with him in Febrnary a year ago. I met him at the Memphis Commercial Convention I met him the first clay of the Convention on Monday 1 met him on the street, he came up to me and said, he wanted to see me particularly, he took me one side; he was with several gentlemen; he asked me if I knew Major Severson he said that he wanted to see him; he seemed to be a good deal agitated or excited. I asked him if he and Seversun had had any difficulty! ho aid no. He did not know Severson, but he understood that that fellow ltandall had telegraphed to Severson to have him appointed a delegate from Alabama; he also said that Crandall was not an Alabam-ian, that he belonged to New Orleans, that he was satisfied Randall was coming there to break down his immigration scheme, and interfere with his business, and that lie did'nt intend to let him do it. Jle wanted to see ev? erson to find qut the truth of the despatch.

1 went with him tothepeabody Hotel, but found Severson had not been there; we went to where he usually stopped when he came to Memphis but we did not see him. Col. Yerger aked me to go to the Overton Hotel at 4 o'clock. 1 went but lie was not there. I started down the street with a gentleman in a buggy, and' saw him coming up the street.

I got out and went up the street with him; he told me he had not been to dinner, he wanted to see me. I told him I would wait in the office till he got his dinner he said no, I must go with him, he had a book in his hand which he handed to te to. red and lie iuskted mU my going with him. lie said he wanted to see mg particularly, and lie was afraid we would not meet anymore, and 1 went to the dining-room with him. Whilst there a gentleman came to the same table.

1 noticed Col. Yerger looking ut hint very straight, and in a very peculiar way; as soon as lie got up from dinner, he said he believed it was that man Crandall; now he is hero, said he, I will know what he ia going to do, he shall not interfere with my affairs. I went to his room with him, and suppose 1 spent an hour there; he read to me there the headings of his iiitinigrivtiun scheme, as he called it, and asked me what I thought, of it. We had some conversation about it; I told him that I thought that to present it properly to the Convention he would have to get over his excitement; my remark was to quit drinking; lie told me that he was not drinking, and that he had only taken three drinks during the day. .1 saw him almost every day, during the week of the Convention attur lHt; lie spoke of this immigration scheme in very glowing terms; his language was, that it was one of the grandest schemes that was ever conceived by the mind of man, and he asked me what 1 thought of it.

1 said 1 thought a great difficulty iu it was that it would require a greut deal uf money lit Pv operation, and I did not see where he Cfttild get it. He said he could set as inuli money as he wanted that there was a Boston banker that would let him have all the money he wanted i ho oould get a million of dollars if necessary lie read to me a letter, said it was from this Boston banker; I did not sec any proposition in it about money; 1 lett him there; i think 1 mct him next day in the convention; he seemed very anxious to offer resolutions which the minutes of the convention will show; he was up frequently I met him on Wednesday. I think in company with Col. Sale, his unele, M. Yerger, ef Memphis, and some other gentlemen, I don't recolleet who, 1 knew them all at the time; I spoke to them; Col.

Y'erger was leaving them as I walked up, and he said he did'nt wish me to leave till he saw me; said he, I want to see you partjculRrly lie went into the uigar store that we were standing in front of, and Col. Sale remarked, "That man is sous to challenge his uncle; 1 looked aroundj but did'nt see that any one seemed to be excited tit all i Mr, Yerger, of Memphis, was standing there Col, Yerger walked into the cigar store hurriedly, und wag writing on the show-case for some time; I asked what was the difficulty, and was told that they had fallen out about a pistol. Col. Yerger came out of the cigar store, handed Col. Sale a pa per, ana saia, you win uenver mat to that man.

Col. Sale left me then, and Yerger took me back into the cigar store Colonel Sale and Mr. Y'erger, of Memphis, came into the cigar store, and Col.

hen 1 saw him again, I don remember I met him almost every day, unless it was on Friday. The last time I saw him was on Saturday morning; I met him in company with Col. Galloway, and Col. Sale, and Edward Yerger, of Memphis, and two other gentlemen I did not know he asked me then if I had heard of Crandall's denouncing him on the street I said I had he asked. me what he had said; I tola mm, saia ne, i met mm at tne notet, ana insulted the dam'd scoundrel, and he did'nt re sent it, and now he has got on the train and is gone, remained with him some half hour; he was talking in a very excited way, and Col.

Galloway, ocming up, took me off and said, what are you quarreling about He then took me off and told me about the difficulty. He was very much excited every time I saw him whilst I was there. On the last morning he appeared much more so than during the week; I thought his mind was very unsettled; he was very much excited and Ins talk was very extravagant on everything; while at Membhis. I Raw him take rhrop flvinVa thinlr and that wine; I mentioned there, and after I came home, that I would not be surprised if ooi. i erger never came home, that 1 lelieved he was deranged; I recollect particularly mentioning it to Col.

Hamilton. By Judge Advocate: I last saw the prisoner at Memphis, on Saturday morning, the week of the Convention; it was the week beginning the 17th May; I saw prisoner almost every day, but not frequently; do not know to what extent he drank I advised him to quit drinking because my impression was, from his excitement, that he was unaer tne influenced liquor; 1 thought afterwards his excitement arose from other causes than drinking liquor; this man Crandall's dispatch seemed to excite him greatly; he seemed to think that Crandall was coming to break him down before the Convention I thought he was arinxing; ne was not at all drunk; he did not stagger; he was so much excited that I attributed it to the use of liquor; and the knowledge of the dispatch seemed to irritate him; he read that immigration scheme to me I thought there were great difficulties for want of money; if he had as much money as he desired, there was nothing wild or visionary in it; he said he thought he could get a million dollars to carry out the scheme the letter of the Boston banker was written in rather mysterious language, and requested Col. Yerger to say nothing of the scheme; it did not enter upon the merits of the scheme particularly; it said they would organize at some future time; there was no offer of money in it so far as Mr. Yerger read it to me; I left Memphis on Son-day night, and reached Jackson on Friday following; I spoke of this occurrence, I think on Saturday morning as well as I recollect; it was the first time I met Col. Hamilton; he took me aside and asked me what had become of Col.

Yerger; he said that his property had been levied on here, and that his familv were in great distress, mad asked me when I thought Col. Yerger would be home; I replied, that I would not be surmised if Col.

B. LTLIS PhTSICIAH. I am 51 years old my family residence is in LandeHafe Count Mississippi my office and place of business is in Memphis, Tenesse I am by profession a Physician have practiced my profession for years, with an intermission of, perhaps, two years. PreTions to removing to Memphis, 1 resided at Macon, Mississippi. I have known the accused, more or less intimately, since li6 I had known Min casually before, and I bare had opportunities of know ing him very well I had studied on the euhject of insanity, both as a student and in a long course of practice as a medical man I haTe never had charge of an Insane Asylum.

As to my opinion of the mental condition of the accused, it is one of those delicate questions which we have sometimes to answer. I have no doubt that since lfU, the prisoner has been subject to fits of insanity moral insanity; I have frequently said so in private conversation with friends, and I have thought bo. I spent a portion of the winter of 18x and 'W, also, '67; at this place subsequent to "67 I was place 1 in circumstances of some intimacy and close contact with him a portion of that time I was interefted in some business relations with Col. Verger, and I was frequently at his house and enjoyed his hospitality he and I were friends; 1 think Col. Yerger one of the most extraordinary men I ever met with I have so expressed myself to his relatives and friends.

He was subject to outbursts of passion toward individuals, and, as I thought, fre- fuently unneoessarily so, very unnecessarily, me he was always respectful at least, but he seemed to entertain a particular animosity against individuals; for instance, a gentleman it is not necessary to mention who he seemed to have a great hostility to; this gentleman was a personal friend of mine, and I took several occasions to say to him, you do that man great injustice; he is no enemy of yours; I am as intimate with him as I am with any man in the State, I never heard him say an unkind word of yon in my life I don't think he is very fond of" you, but he does not feel unkindly toward you at all. That seemed to satisfy him, and a'few days afterward, within a limited period, they met, and they met very cordially and kindly in the streets of Vicks-burg. After we walked off, Col. Yerger said to me, I am indebted to you for that; said he, "we met very cordially. I said, no, you are not, you are not indebted to me for it.

A few days afterward, he indulged in the same line of "conversation, and I again corrected him, as I always do when I see a man laboring under false impressions, and so endeavored to keep peace. I have seen him, on occasions, very outrageous and outbreaking, and I have said to his nncle, Ned is crazy, that is what's the matter." Then again, in few days, he would be as quiet as could be; but he is a man of erratic temperament, exceedingly so, and in his intercourse with men, (for that is what you want to get at.) he is the most disagreeable man that I ever saw in society; to his friends he is as polite as any man I ever saw, but was liable, at times, to be the most disagreeable, quarrelsome, turbulent, threatening, and ty-ranical man to those who would not subscribe to his opinion lie would not allow you to think at all unless you thought with him; you must think his way, or not at all that is his history, and that is about his character. He is a generous gentleman in his social relations, but in other matters you have to subscribe to him or you have a disagreeable time of it. As regards the good cause for these outbreaks, every man must interpret for himself; I have thought that 1 have seen miuiv improper manifestations of violence from such causes as would not have excited me. I lifive regarded him as an excitable, turbulent man.

I would say that, a niau who manifests a disposition to make insults and injuries out of things that men ordinarily do not make much of, and a disposition to exaggerate schemes and enterprises beyond all due proportion, did not possess a perfectly balanced mind, assuming the party to he a moral man, that it was insanity; 1 'think the accused has been given very miich to exaggeration, especially in regard to financial matters that has been the result of my intercourse with him. Very often in the omrse of our acquaintance, he has had some scheme on hand, for the purpose of realizing, not what culinary men would speak of. say a few thousand dollars, but hundreds of thousands, millions, 1 have regarded it as a peculiarity of his organization, he was always dealing "in the extravagant; one of these enterprises was thought to be met hodized. 1 was interested in it myself, but Col. Yerger expected much more from it than ever I could see in it but it turned out to tie a very badly methodized enterprise.

thought at tbe time it was pretty well organized, but he was extravagant in his views and ideas ns to the resulis. I did not. agree with all its details but looked to its gom-rnfresult as full of hope and promise. More recently 1 had some conversation with him in regard to a scheme of immigration. I saw him in the city of Memphis, prohabi a couple of months ago, and he used 1 recollect, one expression "he had at last, struck oil." I asked him what it was, and he commenced talking bout.

this immigration scheme. 1 said to him, suppose it is a very good thing, but it will end like many other similar things. Iliad jio faith in companies; if people wanted to come here let them come, and tliey will find plenty of land, and plenty of work, but these great enterprises for populating the South 1 think they are all erratic schemes of hunibuggery. But he-went on to say thit it enhance the value of our lands," it would enable lum ty go tu jburope and there educate his family aud live like a prince. lie talked very extravagantly, and I really do not know whether he believed it or not; 1 looked upon it as a vagary anything personal to hii.iielf, any opposition to his views, he was always ready to cousiruo into personal opposition, that ivas the tendency of hi? mind.

I do not know what was the motive, but that, was always the tendency, in other words, the accused was the most intolerant man that I ever saw. 1 have seen him so to others, but he never uiiiiiifexted it towards me, except perhaps an occasional spat or two that did'nt amount to anything. By Judge Advocate: I have not made the study of insanity a special one except as a collateral branch of my profession I have visited several lunatic asylums, and have had patients in private, i should say, after listening to the testimony of the witnesses, that the prisoner was laboring under some form of mania delerium tremens might possibly have man i tested itself in the ways Hie prisoner vas affected at the times mentioned, except at the interview with Sorsbv. I could not understand that there was mania porta in that case. I have known persons to imagine a state of things which did not exist, while they were under the intiuenoe of mania portu.

It is not probable that the prisoner was laboring under suoh iiifluonee attne interview with Sorsby; persons laboring under such influence are generally apprehensive and not aggressive. I should say that the delusion under whieli the prisoner was laboring on the night testified to by Mr. Taylor and John K. Verger was moral insanity, for the reason that I know his organization of mind to some extent; lie is a sensitive man and liable to great outbursts of passion I have seen a great deal of the prisoner since 1H10; I have seen him drink, repeatedly; 1 have drank with him myself at his own house in a social way. I cannot say 1 ever saw him really intoxicated, I mean to say, I never saw him making an exhibition of himself on the streets.

1 have seen him under the influence of liquor as I considered, but although I knew him so well I hardly ever knew whether he was drunk or sober he is one of those extravagant men in his conversation and ordinary deportment, but I never saw him staggering in my life. During all the time I was staying at his house, while he furnished me with wines and brandies, he would quit; at other times he would be an ordinary drinker like other gentlemen I should say that he was in the habit of taking his glass occasionally almost every day; I can't tell how many; I never saw him drunk; he may have drank every hajfshour; Can only judge of the amount he took, by the effect I saw; persons in the habit of drinking steadily and somewhat to excess daily would be liable to delerium tremens by stopping off for a short time. In reference to this immigration scheme, I know of it only from his speech. I read it, and he conversed with me about it, but I regarded it as so wild and visionary that it made no impression on my mind, because it was too gigantic, and would require more money to carry it out than he could control, or any one else. I did not examine it particularly, but I listen ed to him as I would to any gentleman on such a suoject.

as to tne appearance of tne prisoner at the time referred to, when he was supposed to be subject to attacks of emotional insanity it manifests itself usually in the prisoner's hatreds and suspicions it was the result of being, as he supposed, crossed in some ambitious purpose, cither of monev making, or political or personal advancement; he always was a very neat man in his dress, and of course when he was excited by those outbursts of passion, his face and eyes would present that ap-appearance which is peculiar to men laboring under great excitement. He had a disagreeable way, so I regarded it, of drawing op his mouth, frowning and contracting his eyebrows. This was habitual with him when he was angry. I have not intended to be understood that I have seen him laboring under an attack of emotional insanity; I meant, however, to say that I have said of him frequently to his relatives and other friends, "Ked Yerger is craiy;" but I did not probably mean it in its full force at the time, but that he was unreasonable and unjust; I have frequently heard eccentric persons spoken of as crazy.

Contrary to our expectations, and, we may say, our fears, the Convention of the rigut wing of the Radical parry of Mississippi, called for the 23d, was well attended, and altogether a respectable body of the sort. The negro eu-meuL in the Convention comprised the best men of the race to be found in the localities from whence they come, aud are paid to be earnest and zealous in the cause they have espoused.

From the force of circumstances, the real white men of the couutiy ill probably be thrown with this taction in choosing the lesser of two evils, and therefore, all of their movements have au interest for us. For that reason we. appeud tbe set of resolutions adopted by the Convention. The success of this bold strike of the Moderates should convince the Radicals ot Lauderdale and Clark counties, who have recently held eountv Conventions, that thev have made a blunder in not uniting with the movement. If they are wise, they will lose ne time In putting themselves in line with them, otherwise, they may fail of being in at the division of the loaves and fishes.

AVe are happy in the belief that their eficrt were unavailing. The Trial is progressing slowly. The examination of witnesses for the defense commenced on Monday.

Our reports have indicated the direction it has taken. It is not probable the case will be concluded soon. Dr. F. WILIIOFT'S ANTI-PERIODIC or FEVER AND AGUE TOXIC, is guaranteed by AVheelock, Finlay Co New Orleans, to be a certain specific in Fever and Ague, and all malarious diseases.

Cabcllero De Rodas, who succeed Dulce as Captain General of Cuba, took so active a part in the Spanish revolution that when Queen Isabella was dethroned he was promoted to a Lieutenant Gener-alcy. The subsequent Kepublican disturbances in Spain were put down by him in a manner so brutal, that he has the reputation of a bold, bloody, bad man, but an officer of great energy and military skill. He is simply a soldier, and is likely to pay little respect to law when it stands in the way of his purposes. Memphis, June 25. J.

I bad an attack of Typhoid Fever, and with it a most stubborn case of Erysipelas, and wa.s confined to my bed near two month, sufler-in the most intense pain all the time from Erysipelas, and alter exhausting the many prescriptions of my physician, he finally commenced the use of Darby's Prophylactic Fluid, and soon found that I was beiujr improved by iu U3e, and continued to use it, and am nearly well. I coucider it the most valuable medicine for the diseases and purposes for which it is made that is sold. I also used It most successfully on ray little son who was severely burnt, and I do assure you that it was from this medicine alone that I could get any relief from my distressing attack oi Erysipelas.

I do not write you this as a certificate for publication, but as a duty that I feel I owe to Prof. Darby and his invaluable medicine. I shall never be without it again if I can by any possible means get it. I hope you are succeeding, and will make a fortune. Yery truly yours, J.T.HESTEK.
