Times. c Joe Israel, a festive street peddle of New Orleans, made love to W. i I Freefield's pretty wife and got his cocoanut cracked with a hickory stick, and he will hereafter confine his love making to somebody else's wife or nobody's wife in the future, perhaps. W. P. Reyolds, a painter of New Orleans, wound up a three months' spree with a tragic scene, by swallow ing a big dose of "Rough on HIats" and shuffled off the mortal coil in the presence of his family, who had long been rendered wretched by his con duct. Exasperated Mobile has arisen in ii its wrath, and expressed its indigrra tion at the result of the Owen trial, I by hanging the jury in effigy. Sensi ble people are becoming tired of the manner io which delinquent jurors find criminals "not guilty."--Cit lien. I Such verdicts give mobs an excuse for keeping in force lynch law. The battle of San Jacinto, during the Texas wars, when the indepen dence of Texas was won in 183f. was fought on the banks of the San J.lacin to river not very far from the city of I Houston. It is now proposed to erect a monument on the historic field in ! memory of the event and in honor of the Texans who fell in the tight. ! These were: First Regiment, it. t.

The crops throughb North Louisiana will be sbo-t. There will he but little work for our planters and field laborers next fall and winter. They would be glad of the opportuanity to work on the rail road when their wages would be promptly paid. Some of our planters who have stock and hands employed by the year would doubtless take eon tracts for grading and getting out cross ties. They being noear their homes sad baying provender for their teams I oevealent, could well afford to do this kind of work cheaper than those who live at a distance. The com-, mencement of this work just now; would be a great blessiong to our coun try on the line;-would enable our peopleto regain to some extent ati the losses tlhey have sustained ' by the drouth.- -ltbser Tribene. it Antonia Garcia, after living in this country since 1, .9r, was preparing to havec h:s houme in New Orleans f,,r hiis native home in Spain, when lie i didhd very su.!denly a few aiorniian- f siur:ce; al his rled-healed "woman," ' wt ho l,:'ved him very dearly, but wi;:I I whom he iad had ,'cmqucnt lpats no, - "made up" again, is now lnngui-hing t in pri-on unir the suipi;. of hav-y ing poisoncd him.

A negro by the name of Alfred was found on Thursday last, week, on or near Mr. T. E. Iart's plantation on lied BIayou badly mtti!lated, his skull was broken in one place, part of the scalp knocked off, stab in the throat penetrattig the windpine and part of his tongue cut off. When found he was sitting on the bank of the bayou where he had crawled in scarchb of water. When the party approached him he eaJeavored to e.seped by crawling into o I the bushes, having the appearance of a wild man, but was unable to do so, I, bIing injured to badly to get abtut. lie was taken to one of the cabins in e the place and cared for. lie was 1seen passing through the neighbor hood several weeks ago with a squad e of negroes going to the r'ilroad to. get work and it is presumaed that whe:,,n he and his crowd while on their return home (which is in the neighborhood of, Grand Bayou RLed Ri:er) got into a difficulty, and resulted in his g.tting badly hurt. be being the only one of: the party that did not return. It is thought that he will recover. lie i4 unable to talk on account of the . wound in hi: t,-ngue, aid is unable to give any information about the matter. --I)t',ol l)mocrat. The Alexandria State Central Ex press, a few weeks since, made a state t ment which proves that diversilled - crops arc more profitable than the pro duction of one tingle article, and also Sthat Bermuda grass, which is regard s ed with such disliko by our people, is a profitable product. The Clapp plan Station, in Rapides parish, at the close of the war was an open waste, fences all gone and not a building standing. There is this year in cultivation on this plantation 1200 acres in cotton, 500 neres in corn and 300 acres in lBermuda grass. The yield of the , grass is 1200 tons, or $201,400, and it •costs to make and save it 4,8O0, mak ing a clear profit of $15,600, or $.50 - per acre. Is this not more profitab!e 'than cotton planting? Then why Sturn out your field as worthlaess when Sit has been "taken" by this grass, and bewail its appearance as a misfortune ? 3 Mow it down, save the hay and sell I- all that is not necessary for your own e consumption, and you will make more money and have better stock. You will always find as ready mar ket for it as you do for cotton, while it does not require half the expense, labor and trouble to make and prepare it for the market Do not turn out your grass field, which can be made Sso profitable, but otilize it. The first bale of new cotton was treceived in New Orleasns on the 30ult.

We did not think orf sujecting the question to a scriplturai te,'t : bt as it is the stand by which to try all questions of right or wrong, we ca:: not object. pDf t. :re proceeding farther, thoumgh, we wihb to correct a misconstruction of our language. We did not say anything of the b harbarity of slavery as it existed in the South ;" we refer red to slavery as "a relic f bart ar im ;" that is that it had its origin in an age of barbarism. There is a vast difference in tho two tetms. We made no allusion whatever to the bar bar'ty practiced in a civilized country, btt denounced the principle as a ,'. ,o of barbarism, although it cannot be Sdenied that even the practice of Lhr bInrity clung to to the system in many instances in a civilized age and coun try We understand the scripture as ree oganizing an existing and lawful cu::. tomr, and advising n-ubmision to e:: isting circumstances; the discounten sncing of sedation, insurrection and i rebellion against the constituted au Ithol itie, which was in perfect keep ing with the scriptural injuna.tion to submit to the lawful authorit es, even under oppression, as being ordained ol God. It also teaches the servant Shumolity and that worhlly gain is tnothng when compared with godli Sness or the things which pertain to eternity. That slavery was recognzed by tnhe ibible, whiheb laid down rules to be oh served in its practice, we fully admit; arid that it was allowed by Glod in our own country, no doubt for the civilization and christianizing of the African race, or at least for t.e naecorn plishnient of some divene purpose, cannot be question; but the attempt to perpetuate it proved that we were fighting against desti:.- -in other words, that we were attempting un wittingly to thwart God's purpose concerning the destiny of our country and that race. We believe most firm ly that all things, the destinies of in dividuals, communities, nations, the universe, are under the complete con trol of their Cerator, for the accom plishment of purposes of His own glory, and that lIe permits things that are wrong in priuc;ple, when de tached from such purposes and view ned from a huwmane -tandcipiut, and that ! i. : .
