-~QOl A AND BuR SISTER STATiE.
ddtor of Dsmocrat-While I fully and
_ly concur in the adrniration expressed
bi our correspondent, W. M. B. for the
le of Georgia, I regret to ee him sepa
her from her Southern sisters, and
ng his comntenance to the stale slanders
the Yankee against the latter. I think he
in both his inference and his fact. What
eant by the following sentence: "It has
suffered from abstractions, never been
iby partisans, and has always adopted
omen of opinion or indlustry adapted to
roart objectw of liberty and popular pros
toity." What abstractions ? Di(os he mean
ill great princi les of liberty, which
OIce lay at the foundation of the
. stitution of the [Unitel Statres? If so, I
link that (Georgia has had her ftMl share of
sffering from abstractionls, and cannot doubt
t her sons would regard as an insult the
lnputation that she hali evadued or shirked it
hi any degre. whatever. Abstractions are
-erely general propositions derived from a
ride and extended field of observation and
prporience, and tested under a great variety
of circumstances. The law of gravity is an
bs traction. All men are and must bhe gov
aed by them' and, if they are not comacious
of that fact with regard to the highest, it is
only because they have not the intelligence to
pomprehend them. Wherein have the sys
ters of opinion or industry adopted by the
people of the South been unadapted "to the
great objects of liberty and popular pros
perity?" Let him inform us that we may at
.leo change such opinions and remove the
obtructions to our prosperity.
"Georgia has never submitted to the in
1u1seh1es of her more renowned sisters of
Carolina and Virginia."
If it is meant that she has done so less than
the other Southern States, we must take dis
tinct issue. She has long and steadily been a
SDemocratic State, and the great principles of
that party she derived from Virginia. Con
terminous and identical in interest with Caro
lina, she was naturally one of the first to
yield to the infhluence of her great statesman;
and where is the Southern man to-day who
ldoes not bitterly deplore the tardiness with
which that Influence extended itself beyond
the Bounds of Carolina ? Had the entire
Mouth, forty years ago, been wise instead of
trusting, we might to-day have booeen free and
instead of having our destiny debated In O(hio,
would have held it in our own hands.
"It was not uncommon to hear Georgia
spoken of as wanting in that high-tonemd hJ
tiilyto commerce and manufactures which
distlnguished the more extreme class of
Southern statensmen."
Now, is It not time that we should ceasethis
humiliating self-slander? Is it not degrada
tion enough to have one Southerner parading
aroundl the country as a reformed traitor for
the gratification of the vainest and most con
celted people on the face of the earth? What
Southern statesmen have been hostile to com
meree and manufactures? He makes the
charge against a class. Will he name an indi
vidual? The expression "high-toned hostility"
lndicates that It was regarded generally as a
mark of superiority; but he could not have
Intended that, for he must know it to be in
correct, unless he is one of those of whom
there are some who rely for their knowledge
more upon Yankee books than upon their
own observation and thought. Perhaps he
regards opposition to a protective tariff as
hostility to commerce and manufactures.
This is the only way in which such hostility
has been manifested in the South, and yet the
refusal of special privileges to particular
classes is not hostility to them, but simply
justice to the people at large. In this view
we think the people of Georgia will concur
with the other outhern States. For heaven's
sake let us stop this self-debasement. When
Southern men put pen to paper, let them at
least do justice to their countrymen, and not
merely parrot the slanders of their relentless
enemies. B.
THE BARATARIA CANAL.
An Invitation to the Board of Trade to
Send a Committee to Examine the
Proposed Improvement.
°1St. Louis Times.)
After disposing of the postal business last
night, the Board of Trade at the Lindell was
requested to ,~amine a new plan for opening
a channel for large steamships to and from
New Orolens to tihe Gulf of Mexico. The plan
Is to open the Barataria canal, so as to form a
channel thirty feet deep. Capt. John Cowdon,
projector of the plan, prse.ot.ed a map of the
country, and explained the enterr s,.
A company was chartered by the Louisiana
Legislature last April, and the company pro
poses to deepen the canal at their own ex
pense and charge a toll for vessels corming
through. The canal now contains about
six feet of water and is navigated by
small steamers. The Canal Company has
ample means to put the work through, and
all they want is permission from the
National Government to go on. They prom
ise to have a depth of twenty-four feet in one
year from the (late of beginning work. The
canal runs through several bayous and opens
into Barataria Bay; the surface level of water
at ordinary stage at Now Orleans is only ten
inches higher than the surface level of the
Gulf, so that the canal always remains full of
water. It will fill with salt water from the
Gulf, which is free from silt and sediment.
From New Orleans to the Gulf by way of the
canal the distance is only fifty-three miles,
while it is 126 by the river.
Capt. Cowdon requested the Board of Trade
to appoint delegates to visit the canal and ex
amine the scheme, and if they report it as
meritorious he asks a memorial to Congress,
not for pecuniary aid, but simply for permis
sion to complete the work. About the 21st of
this month an excursion party composed of
delegations from various Western cities will
down to inspect the canal, and Capt. Cow
don wants St. Louis represented.
On motion of Capt. Silas Bent, who heartily
indorsed the project, President Filley, of the
board, was directed to appoint five delegates
to accompany the excursion. Mr. Filley will
appoint the delegates in a few days. The St.
Louis and New Orleans Packet Company will
furnish free transportation to the excursion
party.
A ------
HON. E. JOHN ELLIS.
[9hreveport Times.]
Now that the navigation of Red river, even
during the low water season, seems to have
been secured, the people are under lasting
obligations to the Hon. E. J. Ellis, member of
Congress from New Orleans, for his exer
tions in getting government aid towards the
closing of Tone's bayou. as indicated in the
dispatches which we published several (lays
since. When the Ganger first manifested
itself, Mr. Ellis repaired to Washington,
and by his personal exertions with
the administration, secured that aid, without
which the work would probably have remained
unperformed. Mr. Ellis is one of the hardest
workers, as well as one of the most eloquent
speakers in the House, and the people of Loul
Islana, both in and out of his district, should
be proud of so able a defender of
their rights. His services in behalf of
dthe Fourth 1)istrict are particularly
"pportune at this time. Our legally elected
.presentative has no certificate of election,
rcause of the frauds of the Returning
ardl, and, therefore, has no voice at Wash
Iton; and the fraudulently counted-in car
Sbagger has no interest in the district, nor
lcinfuence with the administration with
.gres., or with any other set of individfials
er the sun, outside of the Packard and
G 1s crew.
j. DUDLEY SELPH AND THE RIFLE
TEAM.
[New York Herald.]
The rifle practice of the British team last
)turday was so far superior to any of its
evious performances that the eyes of the
ýaericans were suddenly opened to the fact
,at they had underrated the skill of our
'isitors. The average then made by the
,rlitish riflemen (203 3-5) is so near to that of
the best average of the Americans (205) that
the two teams now stand virtually equal in
their practice, and the over-confidence in
American success which was expressed in
many quarters is now giving place to a rea
sonable doubt as to the result. Prudence,
therefore, dictates that the American team
should leave nothing undone to increase its
strength between this time and the 13th in
*.._, Th.e ~t t step in this Iir.tion shotu
be to secure the services of Mr. Dudley
Helph, of Louislana, as a member of our
team in the international match. Mr.
Helph has proved himself to be one of the
best shots in America, and has achieved a
national reputation. It is understood that
the members of our team are very desirous
thft Mr.18elph should shoot at (Cromimoor for
the championship of the world; but for reasons
of his own, he prefors to reserve himself for
the inter-Htate match which is to follow. It
is of the utmost importance that ,ur best
reflmenen should represent the United Itat's in
the grand conteit., and Mr. t4ilph ought not
to be left out. It is now in his power to rmn
der his country brilliant service, and we can
see no good rleason why he should refuse the
opportunity. The team, no doubt, is willing
to withdraw its lowest man to make a. place
for this distinguished l marksman of the South,
and Mr. Helph should rememler that if he
dec linest to serve and the Americans should
lose the match, much of the responsibility of
defeat will rest with him.
Academy of Music.
COMMAIaDEUB OAzzznEuvE.-The opening of the
season at the Academy last evening attracted a
very large audience, who, for three hours, were
delightiflly entertained by Mr. Cazeneuve, the
conjuror and prestidigitateur, then making his
first bow to our public. That Mr. Oazeneuve is
an adept at esoamotage he manifested clearly to
our senses last evening, the first part of his eor
tertainment presenting munch novelty, and com
bining the two elements of stage3oonjuring, the
meohanical and the sleight-of-hand in nearly
every case.
Mr. Caseneuve is graceful besides, and there is
only one drawback against making his entertain
ments perfect, that is that he does not speak
English. The interpreaetions of Mr. McOlelland,
his agent and assistant, make up, however, for
this deficiency by their clearness and facility of
delivery. Our new conjuror, besides the pub
lished programme, introducoed several other
tricks, not the least clever of which was the caged
canary trick, surprising the spectator thereby
even more than by the others.
The remainder of the evening was devoted to
his cabinet trick, after the fashion of the Daven
ports, and far more mystifying than even the
cabinet trick of Prof. Oooke, whom we were wont
to applaud at this same place of amusement at the
close of last spring, and more difficult we should
imagine than Hermann's pillory.
Cazeneuve does not use ropes, but simply
bands of linen, which, besides securing his arms
behind his back, are sewn to the cuffs of his shirt
sleeves, and after going through the usual so
called spiritual manifestations-some of them
quite new-e appears to the audience freed
from his shackles, leaving simply upon his cuffs
the thread which had attached the bands of linen
to them.
Mr. Oazeneave is endowed with an extraordi
nary memory, as be evidenced with his caloula
tions of back dates and recital of memorable
events of the past when given the name of the
year alone. This was evidenced also by his trick
with cards and dominoes.
But the double Indian mail trick capped the
climax of surprise. The tick consists in taking
a lady's trunk, looked, bolted, fastened with ropes
and sealed on all sides, which is locked up in
another large trunk placed in the cabinet. Mme.
GOzeneuve, the charming wife of the Commat
dentr enters the cabinet, and in one minute and
a half after the curtain is drawn is found cosily
ensconsed in a bag (the muth of which is tied
on the outside) at the bottom of the well-securcd
trunk. not a rope or a seal having apparently
been displaced.
The Oommandeur remains with us during the
entire week, and will each night and on Wednesday
and Saturday at the matinees give some of his
beat creations and selections of the conjuror's
art.
Brevitles.
The excursion trains on the railroads, and the
excursion across the lake by the stermer CaOme
lha were well patronized yesterday. It is estimated
that no loss than four thonsand of our e tizens
patronize these Sunday exoaursions, and that cer
tainly should be an incentive to induce the rail
road companies to make the Sunday excursions
as agreeable as they can for those who patroniza
them.
The yact rae between the Adella and Maggie
will take place on the 20th,
