7 One or two attempts have been made t
lately, in Baton Rouge by desperate thieves
tostop perambulators and it Jack Cade st.io. t
take their lives, or what is more precious.
their money. Neither attempt was su ccess
ful and the woulddAe highwaymen made two
forty tracks when. "persuaders' were drawn
out and popped at them."
gIt is said. we kInow not how truthfully, i
that the iron eagles on the gate-post6 of the
Stadt.Haus, since the incoming of the present
Executive, have dropped their proud looks,
lowered their crests and changed--so vilely
changed-their demeanor, that a sober men:- 1
bermade a desperate attempt to "shoo" one
off, with his umbrella under the impression
that it was a turkey huzzard I!
0 Our parish was never in a more healthy
condition than it is now. It has every atifi
bute of a perfect paradise !-save that they
do not have frost and sleet in that oft-men
tloned, oft-w hshled for-yet never seen terri
tory. How it is that all the pretty girls in
the State have conglomerated in West Baton
Rouge, we cannot tell, but leave it to the im
mortal trio to divine. The fact i:; none the
less so, and save that the Almighty Creator
has equitably balanced the books bylgiving
us more than our quantam of ugly men. we
could challenge the universe to compete with
us in all the varied characters of beauty from
Caucassian blonde to And;lusian brunette.
IONORANCRr.-The Crescent'of Feb. 5, says
the Legislature dare not remove SheriffHufty
or the Judges of the Supreme Court.
Won't they thouth !
We thought the Crerent better posted up
ip such matters. If we could only learn what
the "pure and undefiled" wont do, we could
sleep quietly o'nights. 'The mania for "turn
ing out" seems to rage with almost incredi
ble fury in their ranks against all who dare to
differ with them in political opinion; honor,
justice and right, never seem to enter their
party-bound craniums.
Tur RICHEST JOKE OF THE aEAsClt.-The
Baton Rouge Advocate in stating that:
"So fas as the titular dignity of official Prin
ter was concerned, we had willingly conceded
that from the beginnin., and only contended
for itafterwards to gratify the wishes of mem
bers and friends who were more soilcitous to
have that honor conlerred on us tb.n we our
selves."
Let the facts he knows. yea! be blown
trumpet tongued, that :
"The proprierors of the Advocate, it is true,
allowed their names to be used as candidates
out of respect to the opinions of members
who insisted on testing the strength of the
question of selecting the Printer and having
the entire public printing done at the seat of
government."
Of course 1 The Advocate didn't want the
State printing ! Such hallowed devotion to
the interests of itn party as that evinced by
the AdoMcate in resigning its pretensions in fa.
ver of the hotrier, is worthy of eternal re-.
tniimibrance i never since the days of Wash
ington was know.fi such an instance of self-de
alial, for party intiresf .' Refuse to make fif

political life is laid.bare by the soft lend of pr
friendship and'its "dark stots" are pointed at
to the public, who in vain strain every op- of

than that which flowed in upon the brain of

and he lived not in a land of plent! Con' t

e How 'hIanged the scene? It was in 1S-I4 and ' n
it to o men in li first glass of youth 'ood c
, n pledged in the betrothal t >that brier. then cv
u made pure and spotless hby the rcon will of n
old Hickery.--pure and beauitiful she stood
her 'lowing tee not hidden by the dep in
tricate veil of naucens-her noble form tower- e
ing o'er her u'oring multitude of followers
i she waved them on to victory. and tlihe
obeyed ! Shr covered their defeat, and he- l
neath her pro'ecting prescnce, they gathered a
their scattered clans, and, re-organizing. once
more marched' on to victory ! Then was she n
- pure and spotless. and none were prouder than v
1' Dc-'aN F. Kuaste. to wear her colors and
struggle in the political arena as her chosen
to knight-her favorite son! t.
The scene has changer l and men have t
n changed. Who that now gazes upon the
") squalid bedizened form of our rmis-named
Democracy can recognize in the decrepid hag,
the queenly virgin of former days? Who
that now gazes upon her polluted form can
turn upon her former followers, and pointing
the finger of scorn, truthfully say: "':ame

CRops.--WTe do not like to be the harbinger
of had tidings, or to cry out "wolf': leire
the wolf crmnes. Yet we think it our dluty
to speak 'out boldly upon a subject fraught
with so much intereot, to all interested in the
culture of Sugar. If we therefore predict
short rrops at this early day, i is because we
think circumstances justify us in so saying.
From all parts of our parish we hear loud
complaintsof the effects of the late severe
cold spell of weather, upon the entire plant
crop. On many of our plantations the en
tire crop planted has been destroyed, as well
as nearly all the cane mat-laid. The late
freezing spell has been severer than any
known for years, and as far as we can learn
the same destruction to the crops prevail
throughout the State. The planting this year
has been much larger than usual and the loss
of almost the entire crop of pl.nting cane,
will be severely felt by our pla ters.
try.QThe Comet and .dtivocatc still keep up
a dropping fire. Every now and then a shell
from one drops into the magazine of the other,
and we at this distance look in vain for an ex
plosion to take place. But no report follows
and we are forced to the concl ision that
neither magazine contains explosive material
sufficientto emulate the cracking of a pctard

SGPEAT Tyror.-rme.fAr. ,FE. r.-The cmos.
remarkable of all performances in the way of
rapid publication has just been effected by a
Philadelphia firm-Messrs. . 11. Butler &
P Co.--in placine before the pnblic their edi
II tion of the third and fourth volumes of Ma.
r cauley's History of England. The whole
process was accomplished with a degree of
" speed hitherto unrivalled. The London edi
vs tion contains 1600 octavo pages. Of this
at large work the types were picked up and set
al the pages stereotyped and printed, and copies
of the first edition of ten thousand copies
,d were in the hands of the publishers, bound.
at within fifty working hours from the com
mencement of the work. Such speed should
astonish the London publishers. When their
edition was already stereotyped, and 20,000
copies ready for deilvery,they announced the
fact and 36.000 subscribers presented them
to selves. The publishers asked a delay of one
e month to prepare the additional 16,000 cepies.

in!,iv irot11 his post-waimilng himself in
lc ln of the, fire--and was found after the
Sstorm ceased under one of the benches of the
boat, holding on his hasket of eggs with grim t
desperation ! To pull him forth, and to con- I
s iC him to eternal shame for poltroonrey, was

which the Admiral evinced for this individ

twenty cents for his fare and allowing him
to depart in peare I !
As one of the passengers on that memor- c
able trip. we shall ever feel gratefil to those
who contributed so largely to the general
safety, and who placed themselves entirely

- in the Senate. Mr. King proposed the follow..
ing resolutions, which were adopted, viz:
1 Whereas, It is represented to this General I
Assembly, that it is contemplated by the
1 State of Louisiana to abolish the voluntary
system of iuispection of pork, flour and to
1 baeco. ir'the city of New Orinans; and&such
a step would result in serious loss and, great
inconvenience to the producers of those tirti
cles in the State of Kentucky. Therefore,
Resolved by the General .Rssambly of the Comre
a ,noncealth of Kentucky, That" the Legislature
n of the State of Louisiatal be, and it is hereby
o earnestly and respectfully requested to per
d mit, fhe voluntary system of inspection to
e remain as it now is, for experience has shown
- that under its operations, the producers of
g Kentucky have been much more benfitted
is than under the old compulsory system of iu
a spection.
d Resolved. That the Governor :of his Com
-monwealith be requested- to forwarda copy of
>- this preamble and resolutionsitosthe Governor
,- of Louisiana. with a requestthathe Jay.them

Mr; Tombs was asked, at the close of his
e lecture the other night at Boston-, `vif Charles
Sumner would be permitted to'deli-vel an
I. anti-a.avery lecture in Georgia?" "Ye$:

The exodus is coming back. Vast numr

t.,utht O.l Ireland had bidden a finL adieu,
are dropping hrnewards. and asking about
'the ,'abi n d'tor close by the wildwood," with
a stron: rfeeling of the immortality of tenant

Some are even so provident as to have write
ten over froln the States to bespeak sest
weed and guano, to be deposited against tIh
time of their arrival in the locality wbesr
they propose to commence operations. Tlp
most probable solution, therefore, of thisturg
ot the tide is, that the soundness of last year=,

the status quo.
The unconcealed dislike of the Americ.
