The Paris correspondent of the Standard says:—" Alibeau
belongs to a school, a sect—a school of assassins, a sect of attar--
chisls. But the school is large, and the sect is extensive. The
Temps has spoken of a secret society called the Societe der Fa-
milies. Its objects are to be inferred. It is said to have WI/
members in Paris alone. Alibeau may belong to it, or he may
not. It matters nothing to my argument, and I would not avail
myself of it to establish my proposition. The existence of such
a society is an undoubted tact. Fieschi alluded to it, and so
did Pepin inure distinctly, on their trial. But the police has
been unable to seize the thread of this awful combination. It
would appear that there is a bloody and dark It•eemasoury about
them which binds them to each other, without ,dIIV meet
ings, any papers, any journals, or any officers or head. Far
worse th-an the Italian conspirators or the Spanish banditti,
they live in the midst of us—eat at our tables, converse with
laini.ies, and appear to be of ourselves, and yet they carry about
with them the elements of revolutions, assassinations, and
butcheries."

GENTLEMEN --1 regret that I have not earlier uowledged
to you the great benefit which I have derived -f m the use of
your Balm of,Columbia which, in tny own a , I have happily

Alffled and greaLcelebrite, or of--yotrr being resident,lind hav-

have felt pleasure, and a sense of duty to you and the public in
making this acknowledgment before. About four years ago I
ound my flair rapidly falling off, not occasioned by any bodily
illness, and to such an extent was my head really bald that I
was compelled to wear a wig; about three mouths afterwards I
began to use your Balm, and after the lapse of nine months,
and the application of only three 3s. fid; bottles., I was enabled
to leave off the wig, finding my, hair quite restored to its.pristine

era in the history of a part of the commerce of this country. It
is well known that steamboats of 5W or 600 tons burthen can
ascend the Red River as high as Natchdotches —and it is now
proposed, in a New Orleans paper, that a railroad shall be con-

Mountains awl thence to the Gulf of California. SuCh a work
would give to New Orleans access to the East Indian, Peruvian,
