Necessity vs. Convenience. --The editor of the Brookhaven (Miss.) Advertiser offers the following unique argument in favor of raising more corn than cotton: We have always been persistently in favor of planting a large crop of corn, even if cotton has to be a little neglected, particularly in times like these, when communication with the Ohio may be cut off at any moment. Corn is a necessity, but cotton is only a convenience. A man can live very well without a shirt, but what can he do without whiskey?

A patriotic young lady. --The Rural Gentleman has it that a young lady at Brookhaven, Miss., upon being asked by a "knight of the parlor," who had not volunteered, to dance with him, replied, "No, sir, not as long as there is a soldier in the field." This reminds us of an incident that occurred in a town in this State, not a thousand miles from here.--The young ladies of that place, desirous of reserving their sweet smiles and kind words for those who are on the battle-field, made and presented to a young gentleman, who still remains "at home," a very handsome white bonnet, together with a certain other article of underwear, used by the ladies. Doubtless the young man felt gratified at the fact that his lady friends had taken him under their care and protection.--Panola (Miss.) Star.

ing law based on subscription of cotton — rated at $25 per bale. Stock notes to be given and secured by a pledge of cotton, which is to be sold after the blockade is removed, to pay said stock notes. The Vicksburg Whig gives the following more particular features of this law: The bill authorizes, under its provisions, several banks to be established--one at Jackson and one at Vicksburg, with a capital of one million each; and one at Yazoo City, Natchez, Columbus, Holly Springs, and Brookhaven, of five hundred thousand dollars each. The banks to go into operation when one hundred thousand of stock is subscribed and secured, and to have the privilege of issuing notes of 1's, 2's, 3's, 5's, 10's, 20's, 50's, and 100 dollars, and to be redeemed in Confederate Treasury notes, until twelve months after peace is declared, or ninety days after the New Orleans and Mobile banks resume, and then to redeem their notes in specie.

nd purity is a fit type and representation. When that day arrives the only drop of bitterness which will weigh in our cup of joy will be the r ction that we speak a common language and sprang from a common lineage. The attack upon Grand Guile, Miss. A letter from Fort Gibson, dated May 25th, gives an interesting account of the recent exciting event in the neighborhood of Grand Gulf a portion of which we copy: On Thursday of last week a company of eight artillery pieces, from Brookhaven, under the command of Capt Hossina, with four pieces, re hed here on their way to take a position near Gran full. The next day they proceeded to the latter place, c tab ed their camp a mile or so in the rear of the town and opened a read for their pieces to point as near the river as the high water would admit, favorable for annoying the enemy's ven which have been provokingly passing up and down, very much at their case, for the last two weeks.

We learn from one who susaks from the record that an average of twenty five soldiers per day have passed through that point during the last thirty days, and that as many as 300 to 400 of these soldiers have been seen at one time in transitu at that point. There are no railroads east or west from Natchez. It is seventy miles on the east to Brookhaven the nearest point on the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad--another neglected point — and twenty eight miles on the west to Trinity, on the Tensas river. There are good wagon roads all things considered, to both of these points from Natches, and stages, wagons, and other teams, ply there daily. Natchez and its county (Adams) polls less than 800 votes, and yet it has sent into the field twelve companies, with an aggregate of over 100 soldiers, each and all of whom have

The troops landed and attempted to storm the battery, but were driven back with the less of 300. The Brookhaven prisoners arrived here to-day.
