Home Again.— We take pleasure,
in noticing the return of Gen. Jos
Bernard and his son. who reached
here on Saturday from Polk County,
Texas, where for some time past they
have been engaged in their accus
tomed vocation of planting. They
came overland, ar.d brought with them
a number of mule and ox teams, to
gether with the most of their hands,
who were unwilling to be left behind,
but anxious to get back to the old
homestead in this parish.
We regret to hear that Gen. Ber
nard, has been quite ill, since his re
turn. His son, whom we met on
Sunday, is looking in fine health.
Property Restored .—It was
with unaffected pleasure we heard of
the restoration to our fellow-citizen,
Major W. F. TuNNARD , % of his ex
tensive warehouses and workshops,
which, during the war and up to a
recent period, were held and used by
the Government. This property,
the fruits of twenty years of indus
try, toil and enterprise, is once more
restored to its rightful owner, in the
possession of which we hope he may
never again be molested.
The Major, like thousands of oth
ers, whose circumstances were whit
tled down to a very narrow compass,
by the untoward events of the war,
has yet the vim and vigor of life and
enterprise to aid him in building up
anew his former thrift and prosperity.
In this, he has also an important and
effective auxiliary in his son, F. D.
Tunnard , who a few weeks since
managed to secure a nook in the old
premises on the corner of Main and
Church streets and went to work to
try and build up again the old busi
ness of carriage making and repair
ing. Now, that he will have ampler
room to "spread himself" in, and, as
we hope, will meet with a steady
and increasing patronage, we shall
look forward with confidence and
pleasure to that "better time" com
ing to be realized by both father
and son.
Death of a Veteran Printer.—
The N. 0. Bee, announces the
death of Anselme Fortjer, who for
nearly twenty years past, was foreman
of the English side of the Bee. De
ceased was a native of Canada and
possessed many estimable qualities in
his social as well as professional rela
tions.
S3P A meeting of citizens in Ra
pides parish vras held at Pineville a
few days since, endorsing the move
ment placing Ex-Governor II. W.
Allen before the people of the State
as candidate for Governor, and re
commending in urgent terms his
nlection to said office. A. G. Wil
kerson was President, and G. A.
Kelly Secretary, of the meeting.

south america.
Late advices from Rio Janiero
and Montevideo speak of a most san
guinary battle fought on the Uruguay
river between the army of Paraguay
on the one side, and that of Brazil
and the Argentine Republic on the
other. The Paraguayans, although
they fought with great bravery, were
assailed by superior forces, more
thoroughly armed and equipped, and
were butchered almost to extermin
ation.
The difficulties which have led to
such ferocious warfare between the
contending parties, spring chiefly
out of the unwillingness of the Para
guayan Government to grant a free
passage through its waters to other
nations, and a disputed question of
boundary with Brazil.
It can scarcely be deemed possible
that Paraguay, with a population of
only 300,000 can long survive a
conflict with States that number over
six millions and a half and are much
better provided with the "sinews of
war."
The St. Louis Republican of a
late date, furnishes its readers with
some interesting observations on
Paraguay and the La Plata country
which are suggestive of a comparison
between the Northern and Southern
portions of the American continent
to show how much depends on the
character of a people for their own
progression and the development of
their country.
In no part of North America is
there a more desirable abode for hu
man beings than in the territories
watered by the river Plate and its
confluents. No where in the United
States is there a climate so salubri
ous and enjoyable. Fevers of any
kind are of rare occurrence ; the
heat is never very oppressive ; the
atmosphere is balmy ; the spirits are
seldom weighed down by a feeling
of lassitude as when they are ex
posed to the influences of our own
sultry season ; and longevity among
the population is by no means rare.
To think of this La Plata coun
try—covering an area of a million of
square miles, or equal to that of
twenty of our larger States, stretch
ing through twenty degrees of lati
tude, rich in agricultural and mineral
resources, with fine navigable rivers
open the year round, with forests
abounding in valuable woods, and
blessed with the most splendid cli
mate—to think of such a country
whose first settleinent^^suncion, the
capital of Paraguay, dated back a
hundred years beyond the first set
tlement in the United States ; and
yet to find that while here our origi
nal settlements have increased in
population to 30,000,000 in 230
years, the La Plata territory shows
an increase of only one million in
330 years ! Amazing difference !
How else can it be accounted for
than in the differing characters of the
two groups ef settlers 1
The only genuine civilizers who
ever appeared on that scene, says the
St. Louis Republican, were the
Jesuits. Whatever objection may
lie against their character and con
duct near the Courts of Europe, their
dealings with the Indians of the La
Plata deserve nothing but praise.
These tireless philanthropists organ
ized the docile Guarinis into com
munities which enjoyed a measure of
happiness never reached by any
Spanish settlement in that country.
It was a barbarous persecution that
led to their destruction. Splendid
churches now in ruins and the decay
of the population, which was reduced
to one-half in less than thirty years
ai ^er the expulsion of their benefac
tors ä? test to ^ act - The extin
guishment o* f '^ e J e8U it mesioines was
one of the foulest oi 00 an
calling itself civilized. It was à war
of passion, prejudice, greed and ig
norance against justice, humanity
knowledge.
The war which has been waging
in that region, will likely result in a
more liberal commercial and naviga
tion policy, in which Buenos Ayres,
also disposed occasionally to be
equally obstructive with Paraguay,
will probably concur ; and Brazil be
thus enabled to obtain free access by
the rivers to her upper provinces on
the Parana and Uruguay.
The Cattle Plague .—The mur
rain has been prevailing to a most
fatal and alarming extent throughout
Europe, where it appears to have
been invariably the precursor of
cholera. Like the cholera among the
people, so the epidemic peculiar to
the cattle, has slayed its thousands
and until it reached England no
remedy could be found to check its
progress or effect a cure.
Circumstances may possibly in
troduce the malady to these shores,
and it is well that our people should
be made acquainted with whatever
plan or formula of prescription can
be sugg«sted by veterinary science
and experience to ameliorate or pre
vent the worst consequences of the
disease.
The disease, says the New York
News, is not necessarily imported.
Cases are cited in which cattle have
been attacked by the "sore sickness,"
as the French term it, when it was
impossible that any infection by or
dinary means could have been the
cause. Hence, it is presumed that it
is wholly, if not essentially atmos
pheric. Be it what it may, these are
the symptoms, and our farming read
ers had better note them. It causes
a total and almost sudden loss of
milk—a running at the eyes and
nostrils—much groaning and a great
deal of languor. To cure these, it
has been advised in England, and
found effective, that you take for the
affected animal, a quarter of a pound
of table salt, quarter of a pound of
Epsom salts, quarter of a pound of
brimstone, two ounces of ground
ginger, two ounces of nitre, one quart
of old ale. We commend the subject
to our readers and the remedy too.
Both belong to living issues, and are
such topics that no farmer can afford
to pass by unheeded.
Cotton Picking Machine.— The
Cairo Times, of the ?th inst., has the
following :
A gentleman paid Cairo a visit a
few weeks since, on business connected
with a machine for picking cotton, and
from its workings the instrumeut
promises to be a perfect success. The
gentleman alluded to hopes to have
the machine ready by the last cotton
picking this fall, and to have it in
perfect order by the time the next
crop invites picking. This has hereto
fore been considered impossible, but
the principle of this machine is des
tined to surmount all opposition and
meet the desired end.
A Leap for Li fe .—An extraor
dinary event in the local history of
our city took place yesterday. Four
soldiers were pursued by the patrol
guards, for some offence, and in their
flight, rushed to the road leading off
the public square to the old wire sus
pension bridge. Three of the men
made the frightful leap from the edge
of the precipice, clearing the ledge
of rocks and lighting on terra firms,
a height of sixty feet, safe and sound.
They swam the river and made good
their escape. The guards captured
the one who considered "discretion
the better part of valor," and stood in
utter amazement watching the des
perate exertions of the three men
who had baffled them. We were un
able to learn the offense, but we are
constrained to say that this wonder
ful feat is only paralleled hy the leap
for life by General Putnam, an inci
dent that stands out boldly in the
history of the revolutionary war.—
