Plaqaemieas. ] PARISH °oF PLAQUEMINNES, May 1, 1861. The editor of the Ripe Planter, for publishing that Judge Foulhouzo ap peared to have voted twice in this Parish at the last Judicial Election, was arrested forslander and libel a fewv days .go. Judge Foulhoihze proved beyond any doubt that the charge was false, though his name appears on the returns as having voted both at Pointe-a-la-Hache and at Ayer's. One of the Election Commissioners at Ayer's Poll, Mr.-Charles J. Cannon. frankly. acknowledged that he did put down the Judge's naame on the electios return, but it was through a knistake of his, for Judge Foulhouze did not vote theres Last SMdayy Messrs. Caro and Cannon were brought for examination before Squire Rapp, who sent both accused beforie cir District. Count. Mr. Cannon imder the 9rge "of perjury, and o under"tl oharge" of slander and This will probably be the e :which, in October' next 'will. fore Judge Burthe. . his issue of last Saturday, the tof the Rice Planter, a 1iding to Sfrauds perpetrated in that etion o 1st at'ult., says: '_ m3ost 'sh and the post dis eeful fratids aer;o: lii this " State or out of it, tr.` this Parish at the` J on held on the 1st of Ari, T t yas a veritable pqison onarii e o ." The editor of the Rice lanter}0ar ms that well-known non-citizens (2) were 'al lowed " to vote twice and thrice, which fact. can .be easily proven. Five Police Jurors, in this community will be elected on.the 13th inst. ' Besides' the two batteries of large ordnance which will be built at the English Turn, says the Rice Planter, it is understiod here that another one will be erected on the farm of Mr. Luc I)obard, at Jesuit,s' Bond, for the defence of the river. The gallant Bienville Guards, at Pointc-a-la-Hache. are now called on patrol duty every night. This is an example which should be followed in other sections of our Parish, for our slaves are a little too free. Latest News BT TW0LZGRAPIH. ITo the New Orlea: s City PaIllrs of y.Iteilrdy.

The Vnndalic A.dminiimration. [F rom the N. 0. p'ieiwunc.I Wo kiinow of no other designation so appropriate as this for 'the )power. that be' in W\ashington, in the present year of our Lord, the year that will be noted in history as the one in which the most poworful Confederacy of ancient or modern times wan destroyed because of thl injury and injustice which one section of it persisteiintly attemiipted to iinliict upon the other. It is now clearly evident that the turbulent and ferocious elements of Northern society, and the agrarians, chafing at being confined to the limits of tile rude North, have long looked with eager gaze towards the fruitful fields, the magnificent territory of the Sunny South, und desired its posses sion. Their object, it is lplain, has been and is, by thu agency of the \Xashington (Government, tio carry out their unhullowed designs - design s utterly at variance with well regulated liberty, with civilization, and with religion. Thi Black Rlepublican orga tization being furned, the Akbolitionists gave it their support, and the combined party, still seeking strength, soon found it in un alliance with the men we .'lve spolken of, whioi, Sceilig their clha'dt'or s;eizing the reins of power, eagerly availed themseelvs of it. hl'ns~was tfrlled the party whiclh is now rcprtis outed by the Vnshington (Governmeiit. T'hle C'hi,"go, ldatform was Vaniidalic in colneeption, cultriieti(? n and desigSn. l~incoln, who W'iS carried ilito power Iipoi it, has fully proved that, so far as intentions ,go. ho is the worthy chief otf the Vandal hnd,,.

There is abLudLant evidence, from the appointment ,o" Ca',,rl Schnr= to the • . present time in every act and deed of the Lincoln Cabinet, that these men the terror of the peaceful, the moral and the industrious members of socie ty-have attained their object. They formed an alliance for the, purpose of controlling it, and they .succeeded. Power was gained by the combined party, and they after a brief struggle, triumphantly seized the reins. No one can donbt, in view of events that are daily occuring, that the men we have alluded to-the most radical of the North'ern population-now mould, con trol and direct the action of the Cabi neat at Washington. More than this, they have inaugurated a reign of ter ror throughout the North, and before its absolute decrees, all men, high and low, rich and poor, are forced, to bend the knee. No one has strength to withstand them. We heard but recently of an united North to defend and preserve the Union-now we dear of an united North to subjugate the South. The change is rapid. It shows the increas ing strength of those whose permanent success would be destructive of liberty. These are the enemies the South has to combat. A . Sputhern victory at Washington would not only strike ter ror into their ranks, but go far towards releasing the good and estimable peo ple of the North from a thraldom which has become as terrible as it is degrad ing. We hope to have the pleasure ere many days, of' chronicling the glorious achievement. Spontaneous Uprising of Virginia. The Richmond papers" say volunteers continue to arrive in that city by every t , and from all parts of the State. So prompt and universal, indeed, has been the response to the call, that they have anticipated the accommodations in preparation for them, and the Gover nor has, in consequence, been compell ed to issue his proclamation requesting that the various companies remain at home, till individually ordered on. The Alexandria Gazette also says that troops are pouring in there from the neighboring counties in .uch numa bei-s that were they not amply provided with camp equipages, they could scarcely be accommodated. Alexan dria and the vicinity have alren.k assumed the appeatranco of one gl'cat camp. The country of Amherst4 with a vot ing population of only 1500. has raised 1000 volunteers, Lynchburg has 300 men on duty, with several hunlcldrd in reserve. In old Ihanover, the land of iHenty, who led the Revolutionary movements, every boy of sixteen and upwards. who is not already in thoe i unrteer service has enlisted in the HIlom, G uards.-N (). . ic. The Cost of WIfzr-A Startling Pil of Dollars.-A New York cotemnporary figures up as follows what it war of a year's duration will cost. The total money actually expended, to say noth ing of the loss of life, stagnation of business, etc., is startling enough ; but froim the spirit manifested by the Southern and lilorder States, the bill. be it what it may, will be easily and willingly footed : As we will proubably have 100,000 men underar arms before a month, their lurden (n our people, i,, a pecuniary sense, must he interesting and instructive. A rsoldicr's daily prvision costs over twenty cents, when ,of the r,,ugh sort; his clothing,amlulance necessaries and(l other requirlllements, over one dollar. Ili a mooveaetle state, then, every rlan in the co munt, hearing a lmusket, costs us two dollars per day. Two dollars lpe'r day for one man is $-00,00() per day for 100),0l) men; $200,000 per day is $1,40(),0f () per week ; .+1.400,000 per week is mro than $5,;)0,00o per month; -Or $11,200,0()II for two mouths; Or $22,400.(I0( for fur mouths; Or $33,G00.000 for six months; ()r .907,200.100) for one year.

So says the ('harloton Mercmityof the "2d. , w . . , hoe ddiifedarate Army. fFrom the Rlihmond Enquirer, April 27.] The hope of the enemy is that some time will be necessary to, organize and render effillcent the forces that have been raised in., rginla and the other - southern stat r the present' erer gency. 'rh ave rushed forward to " their country's 'tandard at a mnomonts '` warning, the most of them without any experience in the battle-field, and many of them without even the advantage of the militia drill with which the 'peace soldier' is familiar. So say our north ern enemies. They should not deceive themselves. No people in the world " are so accustomed to the use of the implements of war as the men of the south and the southwest. No people . on the face of the earth are so much to be feared in hand to hand con flicts, both bayonet, sitall sword or bowie-knife, as the defenders of'the flag of the Southern Confedlertoy. The Yankees know all this, and at heart fully realize (no matter what they may' say) tlte magnitude of the danger which they incur going into a war of invasionr of the south. The want of organization and disdip-= - line will doubtless be felt for a time in the Confederate army ; but for a short time only. The forces of South Cardo G lina, Georgin, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Florida have been for some time in the field, and are nov fully arrayed for battle. The forces :. from Virginia, North Carolina, and the other border slave state, which have been raised 4y the first blast of thae bugle, are composed of the best material, and will be ready for effective service in a very few days. They will have the anvantage of the best military instruction that can be had upon this continent; a number of the most skilt ful and efficient officers of the late United States army being now actively . engaged in our service. Lieut-General Scott is reported to have said that he would rather have received the resigna tion of every general officer than Col. Lee-now Gen. Lee, commander of the volunteers, of Virginia. Besides Gen. Johnston, Gen. J. B. tMagruder, Col. Ruggles, Capt. Carr, Capt. Maury and others, all eminently distinguished for former service under the Government of the United States. The army of the north has no advant age over the Confederate troops on the score of service ordiscipline. The former is composed chiefly of raw re cruits, the most of whom are but little skilled in the use of the weapons whick the southerners hahdle with such fear ful dexterity and effect. That Rentdrkable Balloon foyage.-3 Prof. Lowe's flight to tthe clouds, rdl ready noticed, is thus described *by the Columbia (S. C:) Caroliniun: lie left Cincininti on Saturday " mniniing, at 4 ,'clock, passed up the valley of the Ohio river to Virginia, with the intention of landing near Petersburg, but after crossing the Alle ghanies, a current bore him south be tween this ralge and the Blue Ridge, A little befofe i o'block, he came down near thi line between North and South Carolina. but finding himself at foo . great a distance frlolm an-y railroad, lie ascended, and next came down at 'ea Rtidge, in Uinion district, at 1 o'clock ,. Mt., having thus traveled, by the course ha pursued, about 1200 miles in nine hours. This, we think, is the fastest time yet made. . From Iea I idge, Prof. Lowe was convoyed to Unionville, where he r - nmained until yesterday morning; when he came to this city with the intention of going on immediately to Washing ton, but on learingi that there wa _ doubt of getting ;through, he changed 3 his route, and will leave this niorning for Louisville, Ky., where he has lo cated hi residence, via Augusta and N ashville. The balloon has a diamneter of forty three feet, is forty-four yards in cir cumference, fifty-five feet froila top to valve, and will hold 40,000 feet of gas. The result of this experimental trip goes to confirm the belief of Prof. L. in the entire practicability of carrying out his great enterprize, to which h2 Ihas devoted so much time and money -that of crossing the Atlantic in a balloon. This hlie willprobably attempt during the coming summer. Colored Volunteers.-Y esterday mnorniing, (says the laltimere Ameri can of Monday,) between 200 and 300() (,f our most respectlable colored resi dents made a tender of their services to thie city authorities.
