With the coneent of the President of
the Confederate Statea to raise a Regi
ment of mounted men for special ser
vice in the State of Louisiana, and the
promise of an immediate acceptance of
the same by the Hon. J. P. Benjamin
Sec. of of war pro tem I call upon those
who are determined to maintain their
rights as freemen, and the honor of their
country to fall in with me, and as early
as possible organize companies. From six
ty five to one hundred men will consti
tute n^ompany, each man tobe furnished
with V double barrel shot gun or rifle,
and flrposeible a brace of pistols; the
size of the horse will not •be objected to
ifhe can carry his rider with ease, this is
no time for words or I would show the
advantage that the State will derive
from such a Regiment as this is designa
ted to be. We shall be governed by an
act of the Southern Congress entitled
"An act to provide for local defence and
special service."- For further particulars
call at my residence, or address me, Big

Avoyelles, Oct. 18th 1861.
TO OUR. PATRONS
The demise of Mri~P. d'Artlys has
created some trouble about the progress
Of tlïë "Pelican" for the last two weeks.
This half sheet is so overcrowed with le
gal notices and other advertisements,
that a very brief space is left for our lo
cal or parish news, and the report of the
late brilliant achievements against Lin
coln's troops and war vessels, near the
mouth of the Mississippi and àt the San
ta "Rosa island. We are in hopes of
being able to present the name of the
4»ew Editor, next week, when the. paper
will resume its old enlarged size, not
w ithstauding the scarcity of paper. Di
vers interests require of us such iinpro
verileüts.
Failure of last Saturday's mass Meeting.
Should the call for a Mass Meeting
of the citizens of the parish of Avoyelles
had had for its object interests of great
importance to discuss, it would have been
more generally answered than it was
done on Saturday last. Only but a few
men, resolved to thp opposition to ouü
friends, met at the Court House, and we
do not believe it necessary to state here
the result of their deliberations. The
striking feature of that meeting ifc that
the whole vote (15) was divided in the
following manner : 11 votes were given
to candidates of the oonosition and 4
ainst. Then, it is unexpected that
they will try to legitimate such choices.
When the people will speak, which will
be done on th» 4th of November next,
its tribunal will be the true Mass Meet
ing that will dispose of all the claims. It
is impossible to mistake the ambitious
designs of the authors of.the meeting ;
patriots had nothing at all to do there:
for, men known for their adherence to
the old and the new liberal principles,
were already before the people, and citis
zens from all parts-of our Parish as weu
as from the sister Parishes of Ihe Sena
torial District, greet with enthousinsm
the names that are proudly placed at the
head of our columns.
COI. B. w. BLAKEWOOD.
An instance of the injustice that natu
rally flows from last Saturday's procee
dings, is that, since the announcement of
Col. B W. Blakewood's candidacy for
the House of Representatives, it has
been resolved, in some quarters, to try
to put him down. The attempt was made
manifest at the last meeting. The Col's
claims were, this time, perfectly and
decidedly just. Did he not consent at the
last canvass to withdraw from the field and
remain in the shade, for the sake of hel
ping to elevate his best friends, some of
which were his immediate neighbors 1
Is, the abnegation he has heretofore
made of himself acknowledged to-day ?
No ! then, let the brave revolutionist
follow the success that will, on the 4th
of November, inevitably reward him for
all his devotion and zeal to his country's
cause j his time for service has arrived,
Col. B. will and must be elected.
LETTER FROM DOMLDSONVILLE.
•t •
To the Editor of Avoyelles Pelican :
You were kind enough to send me a
number of your journal, containing a
notice of a ^letter of Doctor Russel the
correspondant of the London Times. I
have not-seen the letter to which refer
ince is made,'consequently do not know
what it contains. With reference to my
self, Mr. Russel when-he visited the coast
fouud me with knapsack on and handling
a musket in the ranks of a volqpteer
company. But what it had to do with
universal suffrage for a man who had
been elected by a, làrge majority to a
State Convention as an oppenent of the
immediate withdrawal of the State from
the Union, to handle a musket as pri
vate in the ranks, to defend his home and
fireside against incursion from that
Union, is more than I will undertake to
answer. A regular system of todyism to
an extent rarely seen in any other coun
try was practised towards Mr. Russel
for some.time after his advent in this
country, and the basest lickspittles have
been those most loud in villifying him
of late. Many of them boasting now
of having "crammed" John Bull for
their private entertainment and pleasure,
now. decry him for repeating, what hS
had received on good faith, as it came
from gentlemen holding high social posi
tion in' the community ; and as a natural
consequence he had a right to deem them
worthy of credence if not of perfect con
fidence.—Such a question as that of se
sessiou or cooperation or union is only a
matter of history and exists in this Sta
te as a historical fact oceuring some times
between January and May last. Too
much consequence jvas attached to Mr.
RussePs advent and' too much attention
shown him with design, and he was
shrewd enough to perceive it : and has
handled us without gloves - (as we rr^t
fully merited.) His transit was a rapid
and brilliant one; he made his Perihelion
at New Orleaue, approached a little too
near "Goot singed" is now "out in the
çtfd? and ifcaking the mosfcof his aphe
lion, contemplating the similarity of the
1 of excentric luminaries. You call
fib* a*defense against an imagi
nary
A rule of my lite has been
never to do any thing for which a defen
se should be necessary and* I am not
aWare of having deviated from it of late.
You individually have a right to know
that I act solely upon my own convic
tions, uninfluenced by either friend or
foe; that what I think r'ght I do entirely,
regardles# of the immediate consequence
Indépendance has ever been* a pro
minent trait, and probably some of those
gentlemen, visited by Doctor Russell, may
have indulged, as you frequently have, a
disposition to cavil at the person who
always saw fit to Exercise his own judge
ment in shaping his course through life.
Universal suffrage is the great Bug
Bear of all Englishmen, and the de
cision he may have come to, from the
"private conversation with gentlemen
in each of the Southern'IStates" could
by no possibility have any bearing upon
my (Dr. Cottman) being willing to (me)
"à se mettre en campagne contre les ar
mees fédérales."
Very respectfully,
THOS. COTTMAN.
Ascênsion, October, 3rd 1861.
, Capt. Fenelon Cannon 's Company.—This?
splendid company from Avoyelles parish,
numbering 66 m^p and horses, arrived in
our city on the steamer Gen. Hodges, on
Thursday evening. They are a fine loo
king body of young men, superbly moun
ted and armed with double barrel shot
guns. TÎie are at the Barracks. This
makes the sixth company that has repor
ted here for Colonel Scott's Battalion.
B. R: Advocate.
Withdrawal of Col. II. W. Allen. — Col.
H. W. Allen, as appears from his card
elsewhere, has withdrawn from the field
as a candidate for Congress in the Fourth
District. The numerous friends of this
gentleman in the Fourth District, while
they may regret his withdrawal, will ap
preciate the patriotic motives which in
duce him to decline political honors at
the present juncture, in order that he
may devote his earnest attention and'his
useful activity to tho duties of lus mili
tary position as Lieutenant Colonel of
the 4th Regiment of Louisiana. Col.
Allen presents an example worthy of
imitation. It is no time for vexatious
contests between candidates For civil
office. Evôry .man should bo content to
remain at his post, civil or military, where
he can fender service to his country.
