E. R. BIOSSAT,....... .EDITOR ALEXANI*RIA, LA. tWEDNESDAY........ JULY 6, 1870. g A full week of fine and sea sonable weather for the crops has been our portion-but man and beast have been the sufferer to an awful extent. The heated term is on hand and with us----the thermom eter, in some localities, has warmed up to 95 in the shade. We have have still to report the crops as bully and improving hugely. The cotton particularly is fine-plenty of nearly full bolls almost every where. In fact on Saturday last we saw and handled a full matured and opened boll Last year the first bale of Cotton from our Parish reached Town on the 6th of Sep tember-this year we are certain to be over full one month ahead. As for e catapillars we hear of none any Xeieere, or the least signs of any. But we have learned that apoor stray worm of some sort has S:been captured, and a jury of scien tific catapillar men were summoned as a body of inquqpt and after ma ture deliberation agreed to disagree, and then adjourned without a legal, verdict. -------4- P Hans Anderson reappears in the July "Riverside" with one of his char acteristic stories, "The Candles."

We learn that. the Legislature of Texas has passed a bill granting an immense amount of valuable land in aid of the construction of the Southern Pacific rail road through that State. The proposed route is identical with the route of the Southern Pacific rail road as laid down in the Congressional bill. Congress appropriates land to aid the construction in those regions where the Federal government owns land. But the government owns no land in the State of Texas. It was feared that Texas might withhold the land and thus serious ly jeopard the final construction of the road. These fears are now dis sipated by the passage of the bill mentioned above. The lands through which the road passes are among the richest in the South, and when brought into market, en hanced in value by the completion of the road, will be abundantly sufficient to construct it through the State. The Southern Pacific rail road may therefore be said to be a fixed fact from Marshall to San Francisco. The question is in what direction it shall run eastward from Mar hall. Will the people of Louisiana and of the city of New Orleans per mit themselves to be cheated out of the privilege of receiving the full benefit of the immense trade which shall pass from the shores of the Pacific ' Many other localities ar contending for the coveted prize New Orleans should be the outlet of this trade. The "Back bone rail road" alone can secure it to her and to this section of the country. In order to aid its construction the people of this parish are called on to subscribe a moderate amount of bonds.- The taxation to raise it cannot possibly be felt by a com munity as rich as our parish is bound to be fsraoon as the road is completed through its limits. On the 30th ult. ground was bro ken at Baton Rouge on the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicks burg railroad. The work will be prosecuted with vigor until the road is put in running order to New Orleans. There is no reason why it should not be completed to Alex andria in the same time. In order to accomplish such a result no ob stacle should be thrown in the way. Let the bonds, then, be voted by a large majority: L TRAWBERRY PLANTS -FOR K) sale by H. ST. JOHN. e* Health's Best D1elence. "The weak eateth herbs," says St. Paul, so that eighteen hundred years ago the value of medicine plants was appreciated. In the Old Testament botanical remedies are repeatedly re commended, but in no passage of sa cred histbry is man recommended to swallow calomel, or blue pill,, or any other mineral preparation. The sick were directed to eat herbs to strength en them, to purify them, to heal them, to restore them. In that day the art of making vegetable extracts was un known. The herbal medicines were more infusions. It was reserve4~or a later age to abite the sanitary 1essences of tonic, apeient and antibilious roots, barks, and plants, with an active stimulant, and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the debilitated or disordered system. The crowning triumph of this effective mode of concentrating and applying the virtues of medicinal veg etables was achieved in the production of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Nev er before had a perfectly pure alcohol ic stimulant been combined with the expressed juices of the finest specifics of the vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years have elapsed since its introduction, has this great restorative been equaled. It is taken at all seasons, in all climes, as the most potent safoguard against epidemics, as a protection against all unhealthy ex halations thatproduce debility of beget disease; as a remedy for intermittent and other malarious fevers; as an ap petizer; as a sovereign cure fo dys pepsia; as a general tonic and mnvigo rant; as a gentle, painless aperient; as a blood depurent; as a vervine; as a cure for bilious affections; as a harm less anodyne; and as the BEST DEFENCE OF HEALTH under unfavorable ciruonm stances, such as sedentary pursuits, undue bodily or mental exertion, hard ship, privation and exposure. TOE CREAM I . at IJULIUS LEVIN'S ri Two young ladies, belonging to influnential families in this city, are now under treatment by Dr. Sweet, the fa mous "natural bone-setter," at Leban en, for a cramped and painful distor tion of the feet. It is feared the trou ble is caused by wearing the fashiona ble modern style of ladies' boots with heels running almost to a point, and set too far forward. A more idiotic flashi6n for heels it wfould be impossible to find, yet all are made so; and if bought ready-made they are sure to be of this kind. There are hundreds of eases of these cramped and distorted feet, and doctors have not traced the trouble to the true cause.-[Hartford 'Vimcs. WP Ve owe thanks to the officers of the Julia A. IRudolph, Bradish John son, La Belle and B. L. Bodge No. 2 for lante pers. Alexandria Institute. It is with great pleasure that we are called upon to speak of the first annu al exhibition of the Alexandria Insti tute for young ladies, which took place on the evening of last Thursday the 30th ult. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the exertions of the able and energetic principal, Mrs. G. A. Canfield, who, since the war, combat ting all the difficulties incident to la borious enterprises begun in a coun try reduced and we may say ruined by the calamities of war, has reared in our midst a first class Female Semina ry, that, for the manner in which it has been conducted, for the real and substantial proofs of the progress of the pupils in the different branches of learning, may be placed on a par with any Institution of the kind in this or any other State of the South. The I Principal has satisfactorily demonstra ted the worth and vitality of her school; she has shown besides, that it is not necessary for the parents to send their daughters to a distance in the North and West to receive that educa tion which is required to fit them for the duties of 'life. That this has been the case to a great degree is a humili ating fact for us. That we can be come independent in this respect is ap parent, if we encourage by all means in our power those home institutions, i that, by their character and standing, have a right to the- support the com munities in which they are located. We bespeak then for Mrs. Canfield a liberal patronage for -the future. Let the people of this and the adjoining parishes know that opportunities are offered them at home of bestowing up on their daughters 9dneation and ac complishments no wise inferior to what the fashionable schools, where many of them place their children for instruction can afford. But to revert to the Exhibiton itself. Before the ex ercises of the evening. commenced an address was delivered by Mr. W. S. Bringhurst to the young ladies of the Institute. Next in order came the dis tribution of the prizes, which were awarded as follows: First Blue Ribbon, Miss Lizzie i Waters. First Pink Ribbon, Miss Sallie W. Waters. Second Blue Ribbon, Miss Ella Jones. Second Pink Ribbon, Miss Olevia Christian. First Gold Medal, Miss Virginia Fox. Second Gold Medal, Miss Sallie W. Waters. Third Gold Medal, Miss Rosa Weil.

The exercises, consisting of the rea ding of the compositions, recitations, vocal and instrumental music, tab .leaux and charades, occupied the hours Softhe evening until sometime after t mid-night. The pipils acquitted themselves admirably; in everything - bearing testimony to Mrs Canfleld's .ability as an instructress. In this con ; nection we would also mention the Sname of Miss Ross, to whom the de . partment of music has been entrusted. It is to her valuable co-operation Sthat the principal is indebted for ,much of the eclat of her Exhibition. SIn conclusion we offer our congratula tions to teachers and pupils, and wish that timhe Institute,iiow so firnly estab lished, may enjoy a long career of usefulness and prosperity. * * * FUNERAL SPEE(H.-IHere is a Sfuneral speech which a Paris paper .assures us was actually pronounced -a.lMontmarte the other day, by a - father at the grave of his son: "Gentlemen," said the father, in a voice full of emotion, this body was that of my son. He was a young man in the prime of life, Swith a sound constitution, which ought to have insured hiiz a hun F dred years.

Sir--Having attended the closing exercises, for the past session, at " Louisiana State Seminary of Learn ing and Military Academy," abbrevia ted in name by Act of the last Sedion of the General Assembly to " the Lou isiana State University" by which style and title the Institution is hence forth to be known, a brief account of the ceremonies of the day, and incidents connected tl:ercwith, may not be un interesting to your readers in advance of the further and more authentic re ports of the gentlemen lof the City Press who were present. The first Address, on the part *f the Society of Alumni, was delivered in the chapel of the Institute at 11 A. M. by Mr. John II. Eady, of St. Helena Parish, a one-armed relic of the " out in the '61 Boys," and a graduate of last year, who since then has been working out his time faithfully, honorably and usefully in Mr. Lusher's School in New Orleans. IHe was attended on the platform by six others of the graduates of last year. After dinner, the shade of the build ing having somewhat reached the beautifully arranged and tastefufly or namented stand, and amphitheater of seats, erected in the interior court, the Collegiate Exercises were opened with Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Palmer, Profe& sor of Moral Philosophy, after which the Superintendent, Col. Boyd, distrib uted a great number of certificates of distinction to meritorious cadets in the various classes, accompanying each one with some remark encouraging, lauda tory, or facetious as he judged perti nent. Then the prize medals of gold, were delivered, by the hand of Governor Warmoth, to the successfulcontestants for them, the award of them having been previously made by the Aeadem. ic Board-my memory not serving me with the names of all the Medalists, nor of the subjects for which they were instituted, am obliged to refer your readers to the further and more accu rate reports in the City Papers-after this followed in succession an Essay on Art and Science-by Cadet S. C. McCormick, of Union Parish. An oration, North America in 1492, by Cadet John Ransdell, of Rapides Parish. An Essay on the past and future of the South, by Cadet N. Roger Roberts, of Rapides Parish. (Bayou Lamourie.) An oration, New Orleans, by ,adet Samuel C. H. Lewis, of Baton Rouge. These four fine manly-looking youing gentlemen, among whom it is peculiar ly gratifying to find two .from £bia Parish, with three others constitute the graduating class of this year, on to whom the Board of Supervisors, on re commendation of the Academic Board, then, by diploma delivered by the hand of the Superintendent, conferred the degre of Master of Arts or of Bach elor of Alts according as each respee tively had attained, A very pleasabt and gratifying inci dent not ;n-the programme,, oeeurred. in this pas ot ofthe proceedings, when in deliverin'to ladet McCormick his di ploma, the Superintendent said "I have an rdditional -gratification sir, in the pleasure of informing you that I lave just received a telegram from the venerable Doctor Egan requesting me to say to you that the Board of Trus tees of the College at Minden had that moment elected you to take charge of that Institution)' The hearty good will manifested in the burstofapplanuse with which this- announcement has re* ceaved evidenced both the interest and the gratification of the assembly in seeing the Educational positions in the State filled by the alnmini of this its fa forite and favored Institution. Then followed an &ddress by the Superintendent,Jnh Collegiate phrase termed I believe,khe Bachalaudnreate Address-Of this Address, as well as of those of the four Cadets, it was the nisfortune of the writer, from his unnlucky location, pot to be able to hear distinctly the whole of it connectedly, yet as far asbhi could gather it, it Wras a most advisable, suitable, practical address, abounding in appropriate ad vice and true and just sentiments frankly expressed, which evidently gave very general satisfaction-The Governor in conversational intercourse expressed this hearty approval and gratification, notwithstanding that whilst advising the Cadets to forget past times, past issues, past conflicts to let alone politics and politieians, and press onward and upward in the de velopement and advancement of the national interests of the State, its Peo Iple, and themselves, he spoke of him self as "an ansaubdoed and unrepentant Rebel." Then the Collegiate exercises were terminated with. The annual Address (that of 1868, which was the first o these Addresses in this School, 'bhahiag been by Gen. Harry Hays, that of 1869 by Judge Spofford) by Mr. Charles F. Buck, a native of New Orleans, and now practing Law in that City, the first Graduate, as of 1863, of the Lou isiana State Seminary of Learnig and Military Academy, although only at this time receiving his Diploma of Graduation. The substance, the language, . the delivery of this beautiful Addresad and the clear, distinct, silvery melody of his voice marked Mr. Buck as a young man of very decided .talent and abili ty, and a most chaste and practised Orator. There was fine music during all the intervals of the Exercises, and for the dancing at night in the Cadets mes-room, and in the beautifully gotten up Library. I sliould not omit to mention for the informatlonuof those who "oyed the fun of it here last year, that the Exer ercises of the U. C. were regularly gone through with. During the forenoon, and at nght, there were held sessions of the Boardof Supervisors, presided over by the Gov ernor of the State, whose arrival from the city at a very early hour in the morning on the Frank Pargoud, was announced and welcomed by a salate, fired by Cadets, from a a battery of 4 guns standing on the lawn in front 4i the building, which battery, we were informed, was a donation to the school from a friend of the Institution, but who this particular friend is, we failed to learn. Among much of the business transacted by the Board, was the ap poinment of Prof. Hildegard to the chair of Minerals and Geology, and of Major Edward Cunningham, who was here on General Kirby Smith's staff to the chair of Natural and Experimental Philosophy, both of whom seemed to be considered great acquisitions for the school. These appointments large ly increasing the expenditurts it was found necessary to diminish in some other particulars, and among them the two chaplaincies, one Roman Catholic the other Protestant, were for the present discontinued. There never has been, and it is not designed that there ever shall be any compulsory religion in the Institution, but two of the Pro fessors happening to be clergymen, and access to religious services whilst the Institution was here precarious and inconvenient, it was deemed expedi ent to create these two chaplaisicos on the urgent recommendation of the su perintendent, in order that those ca dets who desired it might always have reliable opportunities for religious ex ercises; but one of the chaplains hav ing died, and his chair being filled by a layman; and the greater convenience and accessibility to churches of all de nominations in Baton Rouge rendering it rather preferable that the cadets should be entirely at liberty to at tend the " lliurch of their respective choice, where, too, the female pres ence would naturally exercise its res training as well as its encouraging in flunence, it was deemed expedient to terminate this item of expense for the present. But for the length to which this brief acicount has already exten ded itself I. would like much, Mr. Edi tor, to say something of the kindness, courtesy and ' liospitlity with which we were informed this hmlieless In stitution was reeeived and iweloomed, and continues to be treatie'by the cit sens of Baton Riuge, and the Board of A4ministratoir sad Sup~lrintendent of the Asgylum (or the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. Bdtlinmtst pbtrude a little far ther on you jo say something of the general grftff~ alon expressed at he fine manly bearing and appearance, aind gentlemdnly deportment 'of the Corps of Cadets, whose generally good figures too were well set off by their handsome uniforms; of the same color (grey) and material as, but much neat er style of cut, than that of ,e v1. S. Corps of Ciadets at West Point, with thdse of them fromnthis Red River sec tion who came up with as. on the Ru dolph, we were greatly pleased, their fine appearance, the frankness and ar-. banity of their manners, the kindly freedom of intercourse among them selves, the total absence of drinking and profanity whilst on the boat, formed a topic of, most gratiflying comment to all on board, and constita ted the best evidence of their admira ble traiining, and of the. value of the military feature in tie discipline of this school by which the cadets them selves are made a part of the govern ing Po0ter. G. The Lee and Nastchz. These two great steamers have hitched borne,and on last Thursday, left New Orleans for Cairo on a trial of speed. The whole country is given up to the excitement occasioned by the great event; the papers are flled with all sorts of rumors and particulare, the least whisper is caught up and all is wild excitement. .The Lee backed out-from her moor ings 1 minutes ahead of the Natchez, and so far as heard from, which was Memphis, she was one hour and five minutes ahead. The Lee has, on this trip beaten the famed time of the Prin cess'toNat4hez, which wasI7 hours and 30 minutes. The Lee made it in 17 hours and 3 minute&s. We append an itezi from the Issa of Saturday evenin~gconcerning the race: Several gentlemen who were pas sengers on the Natehes to 'lckaburg during the race have jest returned. They expressthemselveshighly pleased wiih their experienee on board this flyig river palace. When they left the Nat2hez atVieks burg, tbh women and children on board were crying with mortification at their defeat. I Capt. Leathers was hopeful of still being able to give the Lee the go-by, but stated frankly that he had under estimated the power of that iangnif )cent vessel. SCapt. Cannon, as he passed Vicks barg, cried out to the wharfmaster: '*Take down those horns," and they were promptly lowered, much to th chagrin and disappointment of th dfriendsad supporters of the Natches. Titae was considerable excitement in Vicksbirg and the wharf was crowd Ied with men, women and children, who waited patiently for the arrival of the now desperate rivals. SOne little incident shows on which siidthe feelings of the crowd were ona listed. A band of music had been Stovided, witlh instructions to play · when the Natchez went by, but alas fo I their hopes, it was the Lee that L first, and not a note was given her honor. - We feel sure however, Mbat 'the musicians and those who ehbducte them must have been com ter taken by. surprise, else they wou'ld f.ot have .fjied to render the full musure of hdior to Capt.
