Mississippi, Too! Mississippi, following the fashion of South Carolina, is beginning to proclaim non-intercourse with the North, so far as business is concerned, and some other things, too, as will be seen by the following resolutions unanimously adopted at a meeting in Hinds county, lately:
Resolved, That we will not transact any business (either by the shipment of cotton to, or the purchase of goods from) with any merchant in the city of New Orleans who is known to be a free-soiler in his sentiments, unless his long residence in the South and known opinions have identified him with the South.
Resolved, That we will employ no school teachers or patronize any school under the management of any person or persons who are not known to be wholly 'South orn in all their feelings and opinions.'
