The Chancery Court for the Northern District of Mississippi commenced its Session on yesterday, Chancellor Chalmers presiding. The last number of the Democratic Review, which we have received, contains an excellent likeness of the Hon. James Buchanan, the talented Senator from the Key Stone State. We have not yet had time, from absence and press of business, to examine its contents, but we have no doubt they are worthy of its high reputation. But little doubt now remains that the Bankrupt Law will be repealed the present Session of Congress. The Navigation of the Tallahatchie – During our absence, we perceive that two communications have appeared in our columns upon this subject, which certainly deserves and should excite the attention of all our planters, living South of Holly Springs. That they should haul their cotton to Memphis and ship it there, at an expense double the cost of taking it down the Tallahatchie, is a matter of much surprise to us. It is true, this river is not always in boating order until rather late in the season, but it usually rises by the time the Planters have picked out their cotton and prepared it for market. As to the risk, incurred by the dangers of the navigation, it is scarcely greater than from Memphis. We have no hesitation in saving, that for the southern portion of Marshall, the little town of Wyatt is the cheapest and best shipping point. The Planters will there find excellent sheds for storage, prepared by our friend, Andrew Peterson Esq., whom, from several years acquaintance, we can with pleasure recommend to the public. Notice – I gave a note, on the 5^th day of January, 1842, to Nicholas Long, for the hire of a negro boy named Dudley for the amount of $125, and due on the first day of January 1843.

The Chancery Court for the Northern District of Mississippi commenced its Session on yesterday, Chancellor Chalmers presiding.

The last number of the Democratic Review, which we have received, contains an excellent likeness of the Hon. James Buchanan, the talented Senator from the Key Stone State. We have not yet had time, from absence and press of business, to examine its contents, but we have no doubt they are worthy of its high reputation.

But little doubt now remains that the Bankrupt Law will be repealed the present Session of Congress.

The Navigation of the Tallahatchie – During our absence, we perceive that two communications have appeared in our columns upon this subject, which certainly deserves and should excite the attention of all our planters, living South of Holly Springs. That they should haul their cotton to Memphis and ship it there, at an expense double the cost of taking it down the Tallahatchie, is a matter of much surprise to us. It is true, this river is not always in boating order until rather late in the season, but it usually rises by the time the Planters have picked out their cotton and prepared it for market. As to the risk, incurred by the dangers of the navigation, it is scarcely greater than from Memphis. We have no hesitation in saving, that for the southern portion of Marshall, the little town of Wyatt is the cheapest and best shipping point. The Planters will there find excellent sheds for storage, prepared by our friend, Andrew Peterson Esq., whom, from several years acquaintance, we can with pleasure recommend to the public.
