THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21.
13" We request all editors who notice this para
graph, to-do ns the favor to instruct the clerk to di
rect their paper to the Southern Sentinel, instead
" IberviUien." The former has taken the place
the lattei.
[LP We take occasion to say in this number to our
subscribers, and those who are thinking about sub
scribing, that we shall continue issueing our paper
semi-weekly after the campaign. Such space in
tervenes in a weekly publication, that we should get
rusty and mouldy, useless to our subscribers and
unprofitable to ourself. We feel grateful for the
patronage already extended, and believe that we
can see our way sufficiently «head to warrant the
enterprise of continuing tosend '.he Sentinel twice
a week. And we would impress upon the minds
of advertisers, tbe advantage of a semi-weekly
over a weekly sheet in bringing their notices before
tbe public, while the expense will be but very little
if any, exceeding the weekly terms.
ETAn interesting sight is tobe witnessed hete
on Sunday. Mlle. Emma V is to take a trip to
the skies.
HZPThe body of a negro, who was thrown over
board when the Concordia exploded, has been re
covered opposite the plantation of Mr, Craighead,
below this place ; and the body of another negro
found a few miles below on tlie opposite side of the
river.
Postoffice M 1sma5a0ement.— Frequent com
plaints have been made to us, respecting the evident
mismanagement of the New Orleans Postoffice.—
We bave a mail now three times a week, and it
very frequently occurs that we do not receive the
papers of the preceding day, although it is well
known that they are issued before daylight; and
(he proprietors, in answer to inquiries upon the sub
ject, say tliey are sent to the post-office long before
the hour that the mail-boat leaves. We trust that
the Postmaster at New Orleans will see this para
graph, and remedy the evil complained of.
A Jewbi. of a Letter.— If there is any thing
that can make an editor's eyes glisten, it is just such
a letter as the following, which we received on
Tuesday, post paid:
„ " T ' Se P'- 18 .1848.
Wm. P. Bradburn, Esq.,

Our friends being now fully apprised what kind
of letter will serve as an antidote, among editors, for
tbe most common ailing of humanity, similar atten
tions will be gratefully received and duly acknow
ledged. ,

Tms Meeting on the Islard —We learn that
the meeting of tbe Rough and Ready men at Mr.
Herbert's ball room, was very numerous and en
thiwastic. The speakers were eiceedingly fèlici
toM is their remarks, which were received with
great applause. Such gathering» as these are asuf
fScient guarantee of what we intend to do in a few
weeks.
The Position of Gen. Taylor.
How any man who regards Iiis own indepen
dence of character, as a brilliant and imperishable
diamond, whose lustre is ever glimmering to light
and cheer his path ill moments of adversity and
despondency, can for a moment be opposed to the
position of Gen. Taylor, is beyond our conception.
Independent, firm and fearless, high-minded and
patriotic, asking no favors and making no pledges
he is truly the qnintescence of an American citizen,
and since the elevation of Washington, there is no
act that will more highly honor the people of this
Union, or tend more to add to her glory and ad
vance her prosperity, than that of placing Zachary
Taylor in the Presidential chair in 1849.
Too much cannot be said upon this subject. It
is one which should be cherished by all classes. In
dependence in thought and action is an inherent
principle, purely and truly American: and when
we see a man who clings to it as tbe brightest gem
of his ambition, and the pride and ornament of a
lofty soul, which yields not to the allurements of
position, power and ostentation, we should pre
. . , , î r „
serve and foster that man, as we do the eagle, for
attributes which are emblematical of our country'
In any community, the high-toned, upright and
honorable man, who listensto no supcrcillious gab
bling, truckles no neither friend nor foe, through
favororfear, mixes with no demagogues, and cir
cillâtes no slanders, but keeps himself proudly
aloof, attending to his own business and living with
in his own orbit, he will be respected and honored
by the low and the lofiy, the wealthiest as well as
the poorest. If such man as this should by chance
come before a community for an office of trust and
honor, in the proper discharge of which rested their
credit and prosperity, would he not in all probabil
ity go into office by acclamation ? Why cannot this
rule be applicable in a more general sense? A
good magistrate over a few will be a good magis- j
trate over many; and upon the same principle, '

which we Qver is the correct one, thot a ninn 0112ht j

not to allow party bias to control his vote for con- j
stable, sheriff, recorder. &c„ but looking to their j
capacities, their honor, and hitherto propriety if
office, as the main considerations to govern their ;
. , . i, ,, . i,-. , . j
vote, he should likewise be ruled in his choice of a j
Presidential candidate.
If there never was stich a thing as party known
. ... . „ ,
in this country, and representatives from each of
the thirty States had met at Baltimore to nominate
aman for the Presidency who had the most claims
upon the people, in consideration of his private
virtues, his freedom from selfishness, for his patriot
icand republican principles, bis great talents and
abilities for governing, and for the services which
he has rendered h.s country, and,he glorious pages
which he has wrought ,n her iiistory-we ask in
S " .t r . CarneSt . neS8 ' " W . h ° eat .' y kno, ; vle<i , gP
of the private or public character of the individu
al, if Lewis Cass would have received the nomina
tion? Such a belief would be preposterous. Then
why not cast hitn from your thoughts, Democrats
and sustain the peerless and ostentations o!d veter
. , ...
an who resides hereamong y on. Do no, hurl him
from you because the Whig* claim him as their
champion. It is suicidal to carry opposition so far
...... .... , « , , ,
that dishonor might be the result. A a noble hearts
as ever beat, are plentiful among the Democracy,
and we know if the coils of the serpent called par
ty could be thrown from them, they would rush
hand m hand with their brother Whigs, as they did
at Monterey and B.iena Vista, and hy abstins to
place their beloved citizen and venerated chieftain
in the highest office in their gift, effect another glo
rious memento for the page of their country's his
tory.
The "Old Chief ."—This is the name of a
hand somely got up and ably ediied paper, ty Wm.
Scott Hatkes , published in Monroe. La., and
supports the Baltimore nomination. With our
friend H. we exchange with pleasure, and can as
sure him, that although we cannot politically, yet
pecuniarily we wish him every success. But we
cannot refrain from saying that for a Cass paper
to be called the "Old Chief," just caps the climax
in the way of naming party papers. Now, "The
Bolter," would have been the thing, and if there
was any possibility that any other Cass paper
could be started in this region before the election—
for we don't think there will be many Cass papers
after that event—we would recommend it to adopt
the name we have suggested.
Graham's Magazine .—We have received the
4th number of volume thirty-three, of this popular
monthly, published at Philadelphia, and as usual,
beautifully embellished. Mr. Graham, after an
absence, has again returned, to devote to it all his
time, talents and energies. In a concluding edito
rial notice, Mr. Graham says:
I come back to my first love with an ardor undi
minished, and an energy not enervated, witk high
hopes and very bold purposes. What can be done
in the next three years, lime, that great solver of
doubts, must tell. What a dating enterprize in
business can do, I have already shown in Graham's
Magazine ond the North American—and, alas ! I
have also shown what folly can do, when business
is forgotten—but I can yet show the world that he
who slatted life a poor boy, with but eight dollars
in his pocket, and has run such a career as mine, is
hard to be put down by the calumnies or ingratitude
of any. Feeling, therefore, that having lost one
battle, "there is time enough to win another," I en
ter upon the work of the "redemption of Graham,"
with tbe very confident purposes of a man who
never doubted his ability to succeed, and who asks
no odds in a fair encounter. Geo. R. Graham.
Another Cass Flag Strock. — The Alton fill.)
Monitor, a few weeks since emerged from its state
of neutrality into a Cass and Butler organ. The
change was heralded as an evidence of tbe increas
ing popularity of Cass. It has now hauled down
that flag, and run np the names of Van Buren and
Adams. The Monitor is tinder the editorial man
agement of John W. Buffun, an ultra Locofoco
and a prominent Barnburner iu Illinois.

;
The steamship Globe arrived at New Orleans
the loth, bringing papers of the I Ith inst., from
which the following extracts are taken:
Fight. —A letter to the editor of tbe Victoria Ad
j vocate, dated at San Antonia, August 2<Jth, states
j that a few days previous, Lieut. Brown, of Capt.
j ("rump's company of Texas Rangers, with about
thirty men, had a tight with about the same nmn
! lier of Lipan Indians, who had stolen some horses
I from the Rangers'camp. Ten Lipans were killed,
j about one bundled and twenty-live head of horses
and mules were taken, and the Texans returned
without the loss of a man.
Col. Hays and Chihuahua, —Some persons have
supposed that the announcement of the expedition
of Col. Hayes with 100 armed men, to Chihuahua,
had something to do with the mysterious Buffalo
Hunt. Such is not the fact. The object of the ex
pedition is to mark out and open a good road for
commercial purposes in order to draw tbe Chihua
hua trade into Bexar. Col. Havs left, or was to
have left, that city about the 27th uit. with some
twenty of the citizens of Texas and about 40 Bang
; ers. from Capt. Highsmith's company, to explore
| the route. The exptnses of the party are borne by
the merchants of hexar. The success of this under
taking, which we doubt not, ami of others which
wj|| f(J || ow it VV| „ res|)|tf llllIesswe:lre gr eatly mis
taken, in a cotftplete chance of the route qf the
overland irade to Mexico. The distance from Sun
Antonio to Chihuahua is not one-third that of the
rout now traveled from Missouri.
Pecan Nuts. —The Pecan trees appear to have
borne abundantly in Western Texas this season
quite an item to the people of some neighborhoods
there. The export of this article from a small dis
trie» in the West, has sometimes beeil valued as high
as $50,000.
Returning. — Eighty wagons seven hundred mules
belonging to the army, passed through Crockett,
a s^iort time since, on their way to Louisiana, from
Mexico. Some three or four hundred more wagons
are reported lobe behind.
Murder .—The Ilnntsville Banner gives the fol
lowing account of a murder in Tyler county:
Jackson and James Cheshire, and their half
brother, got into a fight wilh a man by the name of
en( j e d in the killing of the lalter.—
1 he fight occurred on the bank of the Neches. ane

Bony Fou .id .-Onr readers will doubtless re
member, says the Tribnne, of Point Coupée, the
circumstance of an Irishman named Thompson, a
cooperby trade, having suddenly disappeared some
time last spring. His horse and saddle were found,
but no cine could be obtained to tlie whereabouts
of the man. Recently some disturbance took place
on the plantation of B. Poydras, Esq., between
some of the workmen and the overseer, when cer
tain developements were made which led to an in
vestigation oftheaffnirby John Demomelle, Esq.
A search was instituted, and the body discovered
interred on the plantation. Upon examination,
six buck-shots were found in the left shoulder, and
the left side of the head near the temple appeared to
have been bruised. The body had not advanced so
far in a atale ofdecomposition, as to render it im
possible to identify itas the body of Thompson. We
will give the full particulars or the case next week
Well Pot . 1 he editor of the Oswego Times
thus sums up his reasons for supporting General
Taylor:
Simply, we go for Gen. Taylor because he will
administer the Government according to Whig
principles: Because he will sign harbor appropria
tions: Because he will not thwart the will of the
people on any question: Because, in the language
of Washington, he would not quit our own to stand
on foreign soil: Because he will not lead the coun
try into disastrons. useless war: Because he is hon
est, capable, and faithful to the constitution.
The Weekly Mirror, NkwY^hk .—VVe have
received a number of this valuabl^paper, which
has been expected for some time! This journal
was among the first which hoisted the flag of Zach
ary Taylor, in its daily issue, called the Evening
Mirror, and ably has it since sustained the cause of
the people and the people's hero. It says :
"Pledged to no party's arbitrary sway,
We follow Truth where'er she leads the way."
A noble sentiment for such a banner. The Mirror
is published at the extreme low rate of $1 per year.
Plaqoemine Male Academv .—This institu
tion, under the management of Messrs. Sarta and
Henry, is now fairly under way, and gives evidence
of much usefulness tonhe community. Their scho
lars are increasing--their terms are moderate—and
we wish the gentlemen all the success which their
praiseworthy exeitionsso deservedly merit.

more, in common with all Northern men, looks up

enemy to the Abolition agitation and the Abolitionists
are enemies of his. If Millard Fillmore is, as stated
ed in this pamphlet, an Abolitionist, then every man
in the free States belongs to the Abolition party—
and if he is too good for Southern Locoofocos to
vote fi>r, we have not any body, that is, especially
since Mr. Van Buren, once so dearly beloved in
the South, has put himself out of Southern Locofoco
favor.

we were upon the eve of an European war.

Vermont Election .—There has been no elec
