The Wings, before separating, published
an address to their fellow. partisans of the
Union, embodying their views of the true
policy Of the government, and the princi-
pies which are to guide the party in future.
We may refer to it hereafter, as it con-
tains some points which no one, neutral in
respect to parties though he may be, can
well avoid considering, unless he swear
neutrality to the prime interests of the
country.
MARkErs--Fresh provisions OF all kinds
bring good prices in Baton Rouge at the pre-
sent moment Fresh -four is retailing from
aat-boats at the levee for 81 90 per Dbl;
fresh beet, pork and mutton at 123 cents per
ID. in the market chickens at from 25 to so
cents the pair, according to size; ducks Is
cents per pair turkeys ISL apiece, eggs 30
to 37I cents the dozen, sweet potatoes 81 30
per BIOL, good bacon ham very scarce, corn
meal scarce-every good thing scarce, except
good prices, good liquors, good ladies' and good
saints. Fine chance for country people to
bring in their poultry and eggs now. 1t is
fondly anticipated, however, that two or three
well-freighted boats from the West will ar
rive here soon, when people will be able to
live cheaper and fare better. Ainsi soit-M
From the ~. O. Bulletin, Oct. 2.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. remains as dull
and inanimate as can be imagined there is
little doing, except for the wants of the city.
There is no article in demand for shipment,
or for the Western States. The Ohio and
other rivers remain 80 low that but few boats,
and those of the smallest class are coming in;
we therefore have but little demand for iner-
| chandize for those sections, and receive but
little produce.
CoTroN-In the early part Of the week the
market was very unsettled-some of our fac
tors having Withdrawn their stocks, whilst
| others were free sellers. The sales averaged
1000 bales per day, at the full prices Of the
previous week. On Wednesday and Thurs
day European accounts to the LIST and 9TH of
Sept. came to hand. which are discouraging
enough &r cotton shippers, even at low pri-
ces-valuations having come out at 4ad FOR
very ordinary; sid middling; 6 a Ct for fair
Orleans, from Liverpool. Had it not been for
the weather clearing and a prospect OF an
average harvest in Great Britain, cotton, un-
der the numerous failures in Liverpool and
Manchester, would have been quoted lower.
In Havre prices remain firm trade good in
the interior-nevertheless importers are free
sellers at all times.
We are vet unable to say at what decline
this market will settle down at, but we are in
formed middling can be purchased at Sic
middling fair 9c-in round lists the better
kinds being scarce command old rates. The
business will be confined to the French buy
ers much distrust exists for the moment in
exchange on all English cotton houses.
Our quotations remain the same, but must
be considered nominal, as the inside quota.
tons are high enough.

by a limited demand, the article has been

The Lafourcine Patriot say =" Mr..
Celestin Bergeron, a respectable inhabltant
of Terrebonne par 'sh, was attacked near
the plantation of doctor Wade the other
evening by two negroes Is, who attempted to
and rob him; he received several
and was much hurt, but he happen
ed to have a stick in his l. and, and knock
ed down one of the negroes, and escaped
by his address and courage"
The Patriot mentions several other in.
of attack on single individuals,
near the n spot. One of them was Sc
injured.

coffin the other day in Chartres-street, New
Orleans, the departed" seriously alarmed his
weeping friends by briskly rising up and ask
ing them "what in the d-P' they were at!
