Q^- The Governor has appointed a. v. D ubroca, ei *q., AsftinlsDt en' gineer 1st Division of Levees for West Baton Rouge. ttcir We have received» few copies of the "Banner," a neat well edited weekly paper published at Bellevue, Bossier Piirish, W. H. S canland , is the editor and proprietor, to whom we extend a cordial greeting and our beat wishes for his success. R epheiiensible .—We have hith erto had occasion to speak in favor able terms of the excellent discipline of the colored troops stationed at this post, and their general good de portment whether on or off duty ; giving credit in this connection to themselves and to the officers in com mand. We regret that any cause or circumstance should arise |to render a departure from this rule of utter ance necessary. The two com panies of colored cavalry encamp ed in the rear of our city, or at least certain members of the same, animated by anything but a kindly spirit towards persons residing in their neighborhood, have in several recent instances, we learn, gone out of their way to insult and threaten with violence inoffensive individuals who are quietly living on their own premises. This should not be ; and we have thought it proper to call the attention of the officers thereto, hop ing that they will take action in this matter so as to prevent a repetition of the outrages complained of. The practice of selling liquor to the soldiers, which seems to be in vogue among low doggeries, and un principled characters, is in direct violation of military law, and we hope will be summarily suppressed. It is a serious crime, and has no doubt had a great deal to do in the way of inciting the troops to such acts of indignity as we have heard alleged against them. We feel well assured that our ex cellent and efficient Provost Marshal —Capt. M. J. S heridan , will do everything in his power to arrest the evils spoken of, and that he will cause to be ferreted out all partici pants in, and accessories to, acts of crime and lawlessness within his jurisdiction, and visit the guilty par ties with the extreme penalties in such cases made and provided. ttgrThe Bayou Sara Ledger, of the 18th, says : The average shipmentrof cotton per day, last mooth, at this place, was about 150 bales. This month so far the shipments will not average more than 100 bales per day. We learn from the Ledger that a steam ferry-boat commences this week making regular trips between Bayou Sara and Point Coupee. C hristian F orgiveness .—Ancient ecCleHiaftioal history relates a beauti ful incident, which affords a tine comment on St. Paul's injunction, "Let not the sun go down upon tby wrath," Two Bishops having vio lently quarreled, one of them sent to the other the following mesfiage : "Umther the sun is going down." Upon receiving this message the of fended Bishop forgot bis anger, ran to the house of his Episcopal brother, fell upon his neck and kissed him. A Fix por a Y ocmoükwtx.*kan .— A very nice young gentleman, whono name we do ont deetu necessary to ventilata, recently invested a »mull sum in chickens, which he undertook to take home on the D»u pkine street cars. After proceeding »short distance the attention ot all the passen a lawje portion of whom were ladies, wus called to him by one his purchoees raising a load and continued cackle. In yain he tried to quiet the bird; the ladies "tittered" and pulled down their veils; the gentleman "hewhawad," snd our young friend, in hi» ignorance of''the ait uatiou," tho cynosure of all eye», h« casta look into his lap and behold—thera was an egg- He quitted the car and pursued hi-t way homeward on foot.

A company we learn is forming in New Orleans, which pro poses to bring over Chinese or Hin doo Coolies at the rate of 2000 per month. AgencieB are being estab lished in the Northern and Western cities, with a view of supplying Southern demands for labor. Rov. C. K. M arshall , in a receût Idtter to the Jackson (Miss.) News, fur nishes the public with an outline of a plan which he originates for the formation in Mississippi of a "Joint Stock Land and Immigration Com pany." Among the leading features embraced in this plan are, in brief, 1st—Land, as a basis, obtainable by subscriptions equal to the value of shares taken by each subscriber; 2d. Commissioneis to be elected to esti mate the value of «ach tract and to apportion the shares of stock to which each subscriber shall be enti tled ; 3d.—The lands to be properly surveyed and laid off into desirable lots, with roads and lanes running through them, for farming or village purposes ; 4th.—Lithographed plats as also publications in various lan guages, descriptive of soil, climate See. ; and agents to be sent to Eu rope and offices to be opened there to forward immigrants by chartered steamers, as also in Mississippi, to receive them and provide for their colonization and comfort.—6th. Suitable buildings to be provided on the lauds for immediate occupation by the colonists—to be sold to them at prices agreed on with the Com pany —7th Alternate lots to be sold at cheap rates, or given to settlers, on condition that they remain as res ident cultivators thereon, and pay taxes and interest on their purchases ; 8th—The stock of the Company to be transferable, as an inducement to capitalists to invest in the enterprise. Mr. M arshall is of the opinion that the capital stock of such a Com pany ought to be about $20,000,000, which might command or control nearly or quite a million of acres of land. He would embrace in his scheme not only Europeans, but the enterprising people of Northern America, also. Mr. M arshall's projet seems to be meeting with considerable favor in our sister State, and we hope it may lead to the grand results at which it aims. Thè vast area of un cultivated land in the Southern States, constitutes almost^ the only available property now held by the people which can be transmuted into capital or furnish the basis for future developements of industrial and so cial enterprise and prosperity. The philosophy therefore, which looks to the proper organization and direction of landed interests with a view to agricultural, mechanical and labor fa cilities, strikes us as being the true philosophy to adopt. In numerous instances, it would seem to be the only resource left, by which proprie tors of the soil can turn their inter ests to profitable account and sub serve the general welfare and ad vancement of their respective com munities. We shall hail with pleasure all ef forts tending to promote the whole some immigration and colonization in the South, believing such measures to be highly necessary and impor tant at the present juncture for stim ulating and unfolding the many val uable resources of the country and conferring innumerable advantages and blessings on the present as well as future generations. 8®"The newly elected members of Congress from the South have pretty generally taken their departure for Washington. ».<•>»• IfifEx-President P ierce is report ed dangerously ill from a *disea3e con traded during the Mexican war. jgrTbe latest invention is a "pal pitating bosom'* for the ladies, whioh is set io motion by a concealed spring when an extra display of "emotion" is required. T he C hicago T unnel .—The Chicago correspondent of the Boston Advertiser gives an interesting ac count of a descent which he lately made into the tunnel which is being made under Lake Michigan for the purpose of supplying the city of Chicago with good water. The ex cavation is about thirty feet under the lake, and it has attained the length of 4,140 feet. At every thou sand feet, side chambers have been built in which the masons work, it being found impossible to use the mortar made above ground. A track extends the whole length of the tun nel, and the cars are run out by mules. The bottom of the land shaft is about seventy-five feet below the surface of the earth. The party to which the writer was attached filled two cars, which, as soon as they were seated, rushed with them into total darkness, relieved only by a few dim, flickering miner lamps. A shudder might well thrill each heart to think that the great inland sea was over their heads, with only about thirty feet of soil between them ; though it was some relief to know that there were five inches of arch brick between each foot of earth. Gas is still occasionally met with, but no serious accidents have hap pened. Not long since the workmen heard the paddles of a steamer pass ing overhead, and it caused much fright ; but now it is a common oc currence. The tunnel is to end about two miles out in the lake, and it will probably be completed by another year. N ot a B ad P latform .—That super-erratic individual, " Colorado " Jewett, has had a lucid interval during which he indited a letter to President Johnson, and published it in U International, a newspaper in Loudon. Jewett urges a general amnesty, to include Jeff. Davis, his Cabinet, and all prominent South ern statesmen ; the restoration of the habeas corpus; a constitutional Southern representation in the com ing Congress; non-interference with France in Mexican affairs, and arbitration of the differences with England. G reat E ngine .—At an exhibition held in England, one of the most cu rious shown was a minature steam en gine and boiler, scarcely two inches high, and covered by a glass shade. The fly wheel is made of gold with steel arms, and makes seven thousand revolutions a minute. The engine and boiler are fastened with thirty eight screws and boits, the whole weighing fourteen grains or under one fourth of an ounce. The manu facturer says that the evaporation of six drops of water will drive the en gine for eight minutes. This ingeni ous piece of mechanism was con'rived by a clock manufacturer ofHarsforth, England. , » Jör-Modern comic songs are styled absurd ditties. iflajrThe New York World, calls Wendell Philips "The great platform swell."
