FUN ON HAND.-We hear it whispered around in private circles, and it is confirmed I by the Baton Rouge papers, that a Grand I Fancy Dress and Masked Ball is to be given a on New Years Eve, at the Harney House. i From the interest already created by the an- c -nouncement. we have not the slightest doubt e but that it will be a magnificent affair.

Merchants of Baton Rouge, a mine of wealth is before you, and your assistance is required to open the vein. New Orleans has her communication with the Opelousas country, and that she derives great benefit from it,cannot be denied, and here is an opportunity offered you to tap one of the sources of her wealth. Baton Rouge has a splendid prospect before her. In a few years she will be something on the map or nothing. It rests with her merchants and capitalist-... as it has rested with them often before-to take hold of this Opportunity, and we hope soon to see them apt a it. Strike while the iron is hot. Theatalngouin and Grosse Tete country is settling up rapidly with the right kind of settlers, and they being men of credit in New Orleans as well as Bat3n Rouge. it depends a great deal upon the disposition shown by the latter city, whether she will obtain and keep the best part of the trade or remain satisfied with her present prospects. NEW ENGLAND 8 VOTE.--The New York Tribune exultingly declares that New Eng. land voted for Fremont entire, and that this was the first entire vote since her vote was cast entire for Washington. The philosopher is not a political statiscian, or he would re collect that New England did likewise cast her entire vote for ./aron Burr, the murderer a of Hamilton, and against Jefferson, the au thor of the "Declaration of Independence." GEORGE LAW TUORNED UP AGAIN,-Live ) Oak George, we see, by an article in the Buf- e falo Post, has sold out a Fillmore paper, the d Batavia Spirit of the Times, under execution p for a debt contracted by the editor, when a Law was a candidate for the presidential ti nomination, This is a species o) small spite m which is eminently worthy of the man. r THE REMOVAL OF THE FLORIDA NDr ANS.- d It is stated that.the Secretaries of War and rthe Interior have concluded an important ar- I rangement for the peaceful removal of the ti Seminole Indians from Florida.

CONGRESS.E-PatESIDENT'S MIESSAGE. Up to the time of writing, our advices from the seat of the Federal Government were to the effect that Congress was still battling e pr over the question of applying a Congressional Iad ients gag-law to President Ple-ce, and strangling, as far as possible, his late fossilized message, t be because he brings utp some old subjects in it, which are not palatable to the diciples of Brothers Greeley and Beecher. We have the proceedin:gs of the second day in full. and they contain matter both for amusement and reet- serious reflection. In the Senate. the levia than negropholist, AMr. Hale, displayed him self on the motion to print the usual jumn s b her of extra conies of the President's i31es and sage. and lie in a good natured way, dealt his Excellency such digs in the ribs as are calcu col lated to produce unpleasant sensations to or mer dinary corporael institutions. lie contrunded that Mfr. Pierce had traveled a long way out of the direct road, in handling the Kansas question. and reviewing the position of the Fremont party, and lie was not in favor of voting the public money for the dissemina tion of bogus assertions whjlh were calcula ted to injure the "shrieki' ciae. ie re garded the Message as " extraordinary and unprecedented one-tlr~t the President had extended his Constitutional duties so as to embra omcial attack upon a large per the citizens of the Union, who were rfectly certain that they knew best what . was good for the whole country. But while i ler Mr. Hale was very serious in this part of his I Le- remarks, he was letermined to have his joke. , which he embraced in a remarkably so!emrnull i disclaimer of aly intention to speak discour- t teously of His Excellency; as his present position was calculated rather to excite the c pity than the hostility of his opponents. ad Now we contend that if the rule. the great- , d er the truth, the greater the libel, holds good t st in this case, Mr. Hale has tenable groulds t; of for an action against the Executive. but he a will have to include all the conservati\e. a sensible men in the Union. in his petition. a.s , Mr. Pierce said nothing about the Greeley 1 and Beecher tribe. or "Bleeding Kansas." bt: what may be found in the ancient tiles of al- p most every newspaper in the country. But ,d d Mr. Pierce was prevented, by his Northern a: d friends, trom getting a cl:ance even to rite , d upon the tail-board of the National Omni is ti n another trip, and he is perfectly right in crc- . ing "cut behind." iMr. Hale puts in a spe- 'n - cions plea that the Fremont party has wi:v'r to t expressed any desire to interfere with the sub- ,, s ject or Slavery.in the States where it exists. th s but they claim the right of Congress to pro- io, s hibit it in the Territories. While we can- th not butadmire the candor, which. unlike the na Democratic doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, ph openly aows the position of the party against tii which the South has contended, we hate no confidence in the ostensible announcement t " that this is the limit of their aims.

Pe yes and the violent action of Northern tanata. "i ecism are all discussed. but no new points are ob presented. The reciprocity treaty with Eng. land is said to work well, as also do the new rs steam frigates, and the machinery of Govern- Th Eng. ment. Mexico is patted on the head and the told that she is a very little girl, but that she in does some very naughty things to Brother is ape Jonathon's children. Every thing is expec- 'en sse ted to be righted, however, immediately af- co< ter the Eclipse of 1l61.

The Government of pati rk New Granada has been reminded that the nig- sper . gers of Panama killed and robbed nearly a tion rs hundred of our men, Women, and children a ilit as few months since, and that they ought to ap- of a er ologize; and also not to insist upon our pay. had e. ing to high a price for carrying Post Master tent s General Campbell's swift winged mail bags soul across the Isthmus. We presume every and er thing will b! attended to at some indefinite whe , period. Poor Nicaraugua is put off with a ema single, brief, and mysterious paragraph.-- met re Marcy and Gen Goicouria don't like Walk. decl f. er, Pierce didn't get nominated for the Presi- tiort ie dency, even after recognizing the infant Re- in re in public, and thus the matter stands. We are in fc n at peace with all the world with the excep. Cow al tion of a small Indian family residing some. have e where on some frontier, but there is every ed v reason to believe that they will eventually parti die of old age, and then the temple of Janus bly will be closed, with great rejoicings. On the sons d whole, the last message of President Pierce the 1 ` is decidedly consistent with his administre. chart e tion up to date. He proposes to retire with utuit becoming dignity on, or about the 4th of the 1 March next, and then hurrah for "Buchanan, we a " Breckinridge, and Free Kansas."

Sopaax Co:ir. --l-nportan t I)rriion. n- The Supreme Court yesterday morning. sai. ild the N. 0. JBul/ltin.ren.lered a ,decision which he in its relation to the mianemission of slaves. ecr I is one of great importate. It was in re;.-r c- ence to a case that carae tip from one tf the f- country parishes. the particulars of which n. we are ignorant of, as we have not seenI the r._ papers. The only point of interest to our in, readers, however, may be stated in a few is words. It is that the act of the le is-latu:r: of 1955, in regard to slaves and free people . { of color, is iuncoustitutionaland void. Previ. st ously to the passage of this act, the emanct of patioi of a slave could only be eflected by a . special act of the legislature, upon the peti a tion of the owner. Tha t act, however. siin a iilified the matter, and nmade the manurmiscion of a slave a very easy matter. The owner .had to give notive for thirty days of such :n tr fention, and prove before a jury that the slave ,s soug ht to be free. posss,.sed a good character y and was able to maintain himself or herself, e when the jury would bring in a verdict of a emancipation, and the free papers were Im imediately made out, This acs has now been declared by the Supreme Court unconstitu tioral and void, and consequently the old laws in regard to the subject. we presume are still e in force. How the decision of the Supreme I Court will affect those colored persons who have been emancipated under the act declar ed void, remains to be seen. Should no third parties be affected in a pecuniary way, prob. s bly they will not be disturbed; but if per sons who manumitted slaves were owing at the time, anti should now be unable to dis charge the debt, it is quite probable the man un'itted slaves would be liable to seizure. at f the property still of their formerowners--if we may perpetrate a bull. l0tl:We have often heard the question ask ed, " What is worse than a headache ?"
