I3PA contributor who is "some
in the "poick" line, sends ue some
lines by way of parody, which are
decidedly sentimental and excite us
almost to tears. Their tenor is lager
ly and their strokes of humor and
satire masterly, but for personal con
siderations which we can explain to
him, we prefer not to insert them.
fi^rThe New Orleans Picayune
com«« out in an entirely new dress, the
tvpe nsed beiug from Bruce's New
York foundry. The Picayune looked
well enough before, but its appearance
now is surpassingly beautiful. It af.
fords us pleasure to notice this addi
tional evidence of the onward pros
perity of the old Pic.
BixiF If Mrs. Susan Ecci.es , mother
of George Eccles , a private in Co. C.
1st Regiment Indiana Volunteers, is
in this vicinity, she will hear some
thing of importance to herself, on ap
plication at this office.
A Fire Checked .—The roof of
Mr. L. D alsheimer's house on Lau
rel street, took fire on Tuesday last,
from the carelessness of some boys
who were letting off fire-crackers in
that vicinity. Fortunately, what
might have euded in a serious con
flagration, was checked through the
timely exertions of a few individu
als, and the damage done was com
paratively slight.
Boys and grown folks too, ought
to exercise the greatest care in guard
ing against such accidents.
Steamer Lafourche .—It will be
seen from the following, which we find
in the Picayune , of the 16th instant^
that arrangements have been effected
with Gapt. J no. J. B rown , of the
jibuve named steamer, for the trans
portation of a semi-weekly coast mail

New Orleans, Octobcr 16, 1865.
O.ipt. B rown is just the man to
carry out the above desirable pro
gramme. lie and his clerks are al
ways prompt and obliging—prompt in
supplying us regularly with the latest
New Orleans papers—prompt in their
delivery of freight—and obliging in
their attention to passengers. B rown
always was a popular captain—it's "a
way he's got"» to be so. Time, which
works so many changes, does not seem
to change him a bit in respect to clev.
erness and popularity. "Long may
he wave."
The masses of the National
Conservative Uuion Party of New
Orleans turned out in full strength at
the St. Gharles Op«ra House, ^ a8<i
Monday night. Among the speaker®
were Messrs. Geo . S. Lacey, A. P
Field , H. 0. CAaTELLANoa and
J udge A bell.

Radicalism and Conservatism.
The persistent and insulting course
displayed by the radical press North
in its treatment of matters in the
South, meets with deserved scorn
and rebuke from the conservative
press of all sections.
In New England, where dictato
rial arrogance and fanaticism have
reached the climax of supremacy in
minds of the Sumner radical stamp
it is refreshing to witness that hon
orable exceptions exist even there,
to the absolutism which seeks to give
turn and effect to State and Natioual
politics.
There are in that quarter "good
men and true," who have always
buffeted and withstood the waves of
political and religious bigotry, and
who, deprecating the unhallowed at
tempts of the fanatics to keep the
country embroiled in everlasting sec
tional strifes and agitations, stand
ready by " reason's throne," to lash
from its presence the evil passions
which would fain subvert it. Actu
ated by honest motives, and panoplied
with the eternal principles of right,
they will reap the triumph by and
by which justice, sooner or later, ac
cords to the champions of her cause.
The conservative element of the
Nation is becoming more thoroughly
aroused, and its efficacy, we believe,
will in time redound to the total dis
comfiture of radicalism and the salva
tion of the people. In the words of a
Northern contemporary, "the radi
cals will live to see a good many of
their fiue plans uspet and their cob
web theories torn asunder by the
practical sense and the genuine sym
pathy of the people." So mote it be.
The tendency of radicalism, should
it succeed in a continuance of its mis
chievous designs of fanning sectional
differences among the people, is very
sensibly set forth in the following
from the Newburyport (Mass.) Her
ald :
•We should remember that the West is
already as jealous of New England, and of
Massachusetts in particular, as was the
South seven years ago, and it would not
be well to increase that estrangement.
There is a wide difference of opinion be
tween the East and West on some import
ant questions, the West being more decid
edly with President Johnson's views, and
not unlikely, under gome circumstances,
to coalesce with the South. The better
way for New England to govern, is to seem
not to govern or attempt to govern. There
is a power in the intelligence, in the high
moral tone, in t^je extending business, and
the accumulated wealth of New Ei»g!and,
which will give her all the influence she
ought to have, and far more than what be
longs to her on numbers. If she rightly
uses that influence, she will be powerful in
the councils of the nation ; but if she aims
to lead—if she assumes to dictate—if she
sets herself up as the embodiment of wis
dom and morals, she may fail even having
her rightful influence by the opposition
she will create. We must remember that
Massachusetts is not even New England,
and far less is New England the country,
hich sees in Mr. Johnson the long-sought
statesman—sound, constitutional, and lib
erty-loving. They look to him as the hope
of the nation and the restorer of the K>)-,
public to more than its pristine glory,
and to a prosperity such as the world nev
er dreamed of before. If the Convention
declares upon general principles si all,
which is not needed, where there a di
vision on some points, it can do but one
safe and wise thing—indorse Andrkw
Johnson from top to bottom and all over."
These are words of wise counsel.
Will they be heeded ? It remains
with the honest conservative men of
New England and of Massachusetts
in particular, to see that they are.
JKstT A large mass meeting of the
National Democracy was held in New
Orleans on Saturday evening last.
The speakers were Messrs. C harles E
F enner, A. S. H erron, A lbert
V oorhies and I saac E. M orse,
BP The last of the Mamelukes, of
whom the first Napoleon said : "Gould
I have united the Mameluke horse
with the French infantry, I wt uld
^ave reckoned" myself master of the
wor'u," a "d of whose valor Sir Wal
ter Scott £' 4 'es sijcb a glowing de
scription in his life of iNâpSkOP? re
cently died in the Marseilles asylum
for Egyptian refugees, after having
been in the French service since the
beginning of the century, and having
been wounded at Eyiau, Wagram and
the Beresina. His name was Baraka,
and, as the last of the Mamelukes, he
presents as many interesting charac
teristics for the romancer's imagina
tion as Cooper's last of the Mohicans.
—
To the Voters of East Baton Bouge.
F ellow -C itizens —At the soliei
citation of numerous friends I am in
duced to present you my name as a
candidate for your suffrage at the en
suing election, to represent you in the
State Senate.
In taking this step, I am not un
mindful of the weighty responsibili
ties and obligations attaching to the
position, should I be successful in
the canvass, nor of the sacrifices
that I must necessarily make to 6erve
you faithfully.
While therefore I have hesitating
ly and with diffidence announced my
name as a candidate for the State
Senate in obedience to the wishes of
those whose preferences and judg
ment I could not disregard, I hope I
may not be considered as presuming
to arrogate to myself qualifications
superior or even equal to many hun
dreds of my fellow-citizens for this
important station.
But such are the evil times upon
which we have fallen ; such is the
impoverished and ruined condition
of our once happy and prosperous
State, that it behooves every citizen
to come forward with alacrity and
act his full part in saving something
of the general wreck and replacing
his State in that proud position
which it formerly occupied.
Upon the next Legislature will
devolve the consideration of subjects
of the most vital importance to you.
Your destiny for weal or woe ; wheth
er you shall be invested once more
with your civil rights and placed in
the path of independence and pros
perity, or sink down into wretched
poverty and anarchy, depend upon
the political, intellectual and moral
complexion of your next Legislature.
The measures that will come be
fore the next Legislature must be so
many and various and so complex in
their natures, that it cannot be ex
pected that I shall discuss them in
this short address. And the time
between this and the day of election
is so brief that I can hardly do more
than visit a few neighborhoods and
families and make known my candi
dacy.
I trust however, fellow-citizens,
that two terms in our Legislature as
Representative from the Parish of St.
Mary, before I came to reside among
you, and my residence in Baton
Rouge for the last twelve years, will
not have left you ignorant of my con
servative political principles ; nor of
whatever qualifications I may pos
sess to represent you in a Legislative
capacity.
Should yon see fit to honor me
with your suffrage, and elect me to
the State Senate, I can only pledge
you my best abilities and undivided
attention and constant exertions to
secure the adoption of such measures
as will tend to elevate our State, pro
mote peace and good will, give se
curity, restore law and order and de
velope and foster the agricultural and
productive interests of the State.
Yours, respectfully,
RICHARD H. DAY.
TELEGRAP1II C.
The President and the -South Caro
lina Delegation.
Washington , Oct 14. —The dele
gation from the South Carolina State
Convention had an audience with
President Johnson to-day, and pre
sented the Convention's petition, ask
ing the President to pardon Mr. Da
vis. „
The President in reply, said that
there was no disposition oj the part
of the Government to exhibit a thirst
for blood shedding, or to follow a per
secution policy.
Reported Escape of Jeff Davit,
^,ew York , Oct. 16. — A Washing
ton special to a Sunday paper say& it
is thought that Jefferson Davis has
escaped and is now on his way to
Nassau.
It i3 said Mr. Davis cot out of For
tress Monroe in the disguise of a ne
gro stev^Sore, and went to an Eng
lish ship awaiting in Hampton Roads.
The vessel sailed immediately. Fur
ther accounts say Davis's escape
was winked at by high officials at
Forrtess Monroe.
The Elections.
The Republicans have carried the
election for State officers in Iowa, by
20,000 majority.
itlhe Republican majority is less by
20,000 than it was at the Presiden
tial election, last fall.
Gov. Be^on. the Democratic can
didate, supported the the President's
policy.
Gen. Stone, the Republican candi
date, endorsed all the Radical ideas
and plaps on the question of negro
suffrage. Many of bis old officers and
soldiers voted against him.
The following Congressmen were
elected in Virginia : First District,
(Jarter; Second, Chandler; Third Bar
bour; Fourth, Ridgway; Fifth, Bolts;
Sixth, Stewart; Seventh, Conrad;
Eighth, Hodge. Three cannot take
the oath.
Liverpool Market*.
L iverpool , Oct. 6.—The sales of cot
ton this week just passed comprised
one hundred and fcigbty thousand
bales at a further advance of three
penca.
VST The London Times says that
the Thames tunnel is "bat the shadow
of a shadow" in comparison with the
gerat Lake tnnnel in progress at Chi
cago for the supply of the city with
pure water. The construction of the
latter is carried on rapidly. The Chi
cago Republican says of it: It now ex
tends into the Lake a distance of 3,
860 feet, and each day shows a fur
ther advance of from eleven to seven
teen feet. Three sections of the iron
cylinders were taken out to the crib
yesterday morning. The engine, also,
and a large part of the machinery,
were taken out during the day. The
fourth cylinder is now being put in.
These chambers are square additions
or wings on each side of the tunnel,
and occur at every thousand feet. At
the intersection of these chambers with
the tunnel, are turn-tables, on which
the dirt cars are turned and run into
the chambers, when cars coming from
the opposite direction wish to pass.
The chambers eighteen feet on each
s'de of the tunnel, and are used for the
storing of brick, cement, and sand
The mortar which is to be used in the
next thousand feet, is also made in
them. Thus it will be seen that these
chambers serve as fresh starting
points in the construction of the tun
nel. The iron cylinders will probably
be sunk about two weeks hence. It
is worthy of remark, that as yet no
one employed on the tunnel has been
injured.
I t is believed that there will be no
change in the Cabinet before "the tem
per of the next Congres has been as
certained."
