lifjT We had the pleasure of a call yes
terday from oar friend R obert H all , for
merly a typographical attaché of this and
the Advocate office. We welcome him to
the privileges of our establishment.
S pecial N otice .—We are requested by
Meurs. A rcher & H kndkrson , Commis
sion and Forwarding Merchants, to give
notice that they are prepared to receive cot
ton on storage, and to ship the same when
ever required by the planter to his factor
in New Orleans.
Mr. Wm. U akio , of this parish, is now
associated with the above firm, and will
give bis personal attention to all orders for
receiving and forwarding which may be en
trusted to him.
C heap E noooh .—As will be seen, on re
ferring to tho notice in to-day's paper of
B abillier, P aban & L anue , those vendors
of fresh meats iu our market, have agreed
to furnish the public with good fresh and
fat beef at the moderate retail price offen
cents per pound, at their stalls; and butch
ers will be furnished with the t;amo article
at six cents net, wholesale.
This comes of the healthy competition
recently introduced among the butchers
here—a competition which wo hope may
long continue to the benefit of both butch
ers and consumers.
A National Masonic Convention.
A CONVENTION CALLED TO MEST IN LOUI9
VILLR IN OCTOBER— APPEAL TO TUB
MASONS OF THE IIN'ITJBB STATES—THE
INFLUENCE G * MA80KRT TO TUA N
yUIUZK THE COt'NTKT.
To the Present and Past Chief Grand Officer* nf
tbe Grand Lodge» and Grand Chapters of Ma
soiiry of the United State« of America :
Jl> other* and Companions —Four years
ago, in common with others, 1 addressed
you a circular, asking a convention of the
representative men of the Order of Free
masonry, to assemble for the purpose of
consultation, and, if possible, of suggest
ing some mode of assuaging the temper of
the times and averting the horrors of eivil
war, then opening upon our hitherto pros
perou» and happy land. I then said that
1 believed that if there was "any body of
mou who might form a nucleus around
which tho peace-loving and peace-seeking
conservatism of the nation might rally,
you were that body of men;" that "you
were not politicians, but patriots, loving
your whole country, its glory and pros
perity, and embracing the whole American
people in the outstretched arms of an ex
pansive love." I believed then, and still
believe, that there was no necessity of
drenching the land in fraternal blood, and
that the sweeping besom might have been
stayed. But the direct opposition of some,
the indisposition of others, the inability to
procure safe conduct, and the rapid pro
gress of warlike movements, prevented
the assembly.
Since then, we have passed through the
fiery ordeal and scathing power of the
most terrible civil war which has afflicted
any people. There is now a cessation of
hostilities, and men »re no longer muster
ing their energies to mighty and dire
conflict.
Various questions of an exciting char
acter, however, remain to be settled, or
continuo to augment the chafed animosi
ties of the nation. Those will require tho
utmost wisdom and energies of a high and
noble statesmanship, and if that shall bo
wanting onr whole people must yet expe
rience the bitter results of misrule, never
again to be united in heart, and in the
universal patriotic desire of building up a
great nation worthy of the love and ad
miration of our own and other populations.
Instead of a common desire to pursue
peaceful avocations and to cherish per
petual emulation for the universal good,
we will exhibit little eine than a miserable
and constant struggle for domineering
mastery.
In the war which we have passed thou
sands have perished; thousands maimed
and half must be pensioners upon indi
vidual and national bounty, and multi
tudes have been bereft of affluence and
plunged iuto wretched poverty, even to
the loss of the great necessaries of life
food, raiment and shelter. Tho ruin and
desolation of many districts of country,
before as fair as ever the tmn shono upon,
have been most dire, and all have been
more or less injuriously affected—if not in
tho direct ravages of strife, it has been in
onerous public debt and burdens, in vitia
tion of moral character, in diminution of i
education, in deterioration #f industrial
labor, and in suudering tho bonds of unity
and pampering sectional animosities.
Whilst many are hopeful that what they
consider great evils have been swept away,
and entertain high hopes of futuro unin
terrupted progress, many others are en
tertaining gloomy forebodings that tho
days of the purity of tho Republic are
passed away forever.
Very many are experiencing the bitter
ness of a radical change in society. Many,
steeped in povorty, are groaning under the
weight ol misfortune, and the fearful look
ing forward to what is yet to come. They
are at least bowed down and lowly. The
wail of the widow and orphan is heard far
and near, and the signal of distross is up
raised everywhere.
What is to become of all this? Will it
work wrong, oppression and general ruin,
or will it renovate, elevate, and lift high
, ^ ***a^A 11A w Jli£U
:ip above all others our former great, mag
nifloent and happy country ? j
To restore the country, or to advance it j
high above its former prosperous and '
honored position, ought to be considered !
the grateful duty and exalted privilege of
every man and order of men within its j
broad territory. Especially so should it ;
be considered by those who are peculiarly
taught that they should bo true to their j
Government and just to their country, at |
every stage of their progress, from the ;
portico to the innermost recess of the ;
«rand temple of human happiness. |
There is a work for us to do. We may
cot stay our hands and fold our arms,
while a great moral and social revolution
in progressing among us, which must re
dound in general good or general evil.
Warn«. _ » 1 .1 .
e may not see our brethren in anguish ;
and distress, and hear their bitter cry, and j
retuse to bring them deliverance. Years
ago i wrote what I then believed was I
truth—plain, palpable truth—and is as
true now as then, and I beg leave to quote
from an address on Masonry :
"Oar order lias been guided steadilv on
ward by it« owii bright star of fellowship,
luminously emitting from every point the
warm and cheering rays of brotherly love;
yet it has never failed to embrace all hu
manity in the outstretched arms of uni
versal benevolence. We have thought our
country and tho world was one great
neighborhood, and that wo should 'love
our neighbor as ourselves'—not with a
feoiing that wastes its life in u signing,
sickly sentimentality, but which exhibit»
itself, as occasion niay present, in useful
and ameliorating activity. In the depart
ment we prescribed for ourselves much
may be accomplished in exemplifying our
doctrines of morality and the exercise of a
heaven-born charity which is ever going
about doing good. I know of nothing in
life more consoling to the feelings, more
delighful to the confidence, or more noble
in man than doing good to others in the
various forms of relief which may be sug
gested to our sympathie». It is not only
noble, but godlike, to lift up the lowly, the
weary, and the forlorn in life's great high
way. When John tho Baptist sent a mes
senger to Jesus, to know if he were the
Chriwt, Jesus replied, 'Go tell John that
the »ick uro healed, tho leper is cleansed,
the lame walk, the blind see, the dead are
brought to life, tiHd the poor have the
Gospel preached to them. This power,
exercised, in benevolent acts, was his argu
ment to prove his divinity. Let ns then
contribute in an increased degree our as
sistance in all earnest undertakings in be
half of those who may need onr kind
offices, and manifest that we possess not
merely the show of philanthropy, but that
with us it is an active, living sentiment.
In all things that may tend to the ame
lioration of our own race, let it be to our
order a'crown of rejoicing,' that, whilst
others are bringing their contributions,
we have not been a whit behind tho chief
est of all. By thus doing good to others,
and being good ourselves, we bear about
us the sweet reflection that, like the sun in
the physical world, our institution, ven
erated for its hoary antiquity and esteemed
for its excelloncios, is distributing, every
where in the social aud moral world, light
and warmth and peace and joy and bliss.
"If our great doctrine of fraternity, jus
tice in magnanimity and mercy, univeisal
benevolence and pure charity, were only
generally comprehended in all their bear
ings, and felt as sentiments beneficent and
active, and realized in actions, what a
change would come over this world. If
thi» could occur iu an instant it would be
like that efl'uigenco which burst upon the
darknesB of chaos when God »aid, 'Let
there be light." The trumpet would no
longer be heard summoning hostile and
belligerent»quadrons to the field of carnage
and death, but the songs of the affections,
in soft and dulcet strains, would regale the
ear of smiling and contented peace with
their sweet and liquid melody. The mad
and restless spirit of selfish ambition would
n<j longer stiuggle for preferment and ag
grandisement at the sacrifice of probity
and honor, but a noble emulation would
incite all to make most valuable contribu
tions to the general welfare.(Envy, malice,
hatred, anger and revenge would go howl
ing down to their native hell, and friend
ship,sympathy and lov» would so harmon
ize mankind as to lift th»m up to as high
an elevation as human power could effect
and would proclaim in songs of rejoicing
a perennial and uni versai jubilee."
You, brethren, are a body of representa
tive men of an order, which is and should
be dedicated to these high callings, and, as
such, 1 propose to you to assemble at some
central locality at an early day, for the pur
pose ol consultation upon our duties and
responsibilities in the present state of af
fairs of a common country and society. I
would suggest the second Monday in Oc
tober, at Louisville, as the time and place.
\ ou will, of course, convene not as poli
ticians, ambitious ol place aud power

anxious only to restore harmony, pacifica
tion, unity, order and amelioration, upon
principles consistent with the magnanim
ity, moderation, honor and dignity of the
highest civilization and Christianity.
If yon should thus assemble with hearts
and minds intent upon the high objects in
dicated, you may achieve much. Separ
ated, you can accomplish little; but, as
*ociated,you may perhaps agree upon some
mode of action which will redound in im
mense benefit. Upon calm, dispassionate
and kindly conference and discussion, the
chances greatly favor the presumption that
yon may advise and proclaim some just,
liberal and elevated propositions upon
which all may unite in adjustment and
amelioration. 11 so, the grand desired ob
jects may be tranquilly and honorably and
magnanimously achieved, and you may
have the consolation of being great contri- j
butors to a great and general good. It j
would be to you a permanent happiness,
and the rulers of the land and the people 1
and posterity will rise up and with one i
heart call you blessed.
I trust 1 shall hear from all quarters the !
gratifying news that the proposition I j
make meets your hearty concurrence.

whortleberries. One of them placed her
little child on a flat stone near where she
was picking the berries. Shortly after a
dog, which accompanied the party, set up
a loud barking around the child, and
smelling at the edge of the stono. The
child was taken away and the stone turned
over, when a large rattlesnake was found
under it. The dog attacked the snake,
was bitten, and died shortly after.

newspaper correspondent» are doing much
for authentic history : "A large body of
them cannot be deemed better than paid
slanderers, who are corrupting the sources
of intelligence, and injuring public moral«
by the violation of those lesser moralities
which owe their existence te the purity of
the press. We consider a serious stab a»
having been given to journalism in the

has sprung up during the war."
