VILLENEuvE LEBLA1C's NEW SUGAR
Mr.. Leblanc commenced in May
last to make brick for a new sugar-house ;
in August he got his materials ready, and
about christmas he finished boiling the last
Of his crop-say from two hundred TWEEN
tv to fifty hogsheads. Having heard Mr..
LIS sugar-housc mentioned as an improve
ment on these in general use,we visited
his plantation n week or two since to ex-
anime the construction and advantages
given. The entire building is arranged
with great convenience, but the most i'm
portant novelty in the work, is a steam
chimney, whereby the kettles are kept as
clear as if over your parlour fire. This is
certainly a great convenience.
BY the way, Mr.. Leblanc gave us a
sample of the sugar made that day, (the
2lst), which he desired us to place in our
office for the inspection Of those planters
who complained they could no longer
''make sugar" The article was not only
good, but really handsome: 1t was placed
on our desk for the inspection of our friends,
yet ere We had time to say, go. there!!"
the r%efiner's fire had passed over Office, desk
and sugar, uncercmouiously reducing all
to ashes.
CoRREsPoSDENTs.-A second number, from
"Vor PopuEi," was handed us the other day
for publication but much to our regret, we
were compelled to decline it on account of its
reflections on " a Louisianian."
We have no idea of making the Gazette an
engine of personal assault or abuse. From
the reflections in the first article by "Vox Pop
uli'' on the sentiments OF "a Louisianian,'
the latter, in his second article claimed the
right of retort. This was granted, not because
either party held over US the influence that
intimate or interested friendship create, but
because we were comparatively a stranger
to both. But after giving each one his due,
we resolved to stop. Oar columns were
opened for the discussion OF the proposed al
in the State Constitution, not for
personal iibes and chickering's: these writers
came in, professcdly, to discuss the constitu-
ton, but have finished by taking up each 9TH
err. They can accordingly go out, until they
shall decide upon the personal merss of each
other, after which, should they choose to stick
to the text, they shall be welcome back again

Mr. Holloway, in the postscript 10 his letter, proves
that advocated the election of General Soan after it
had been announced and understood that he was a

his friends in communications made 10 Democrats. be-
fore and during the tendency OF the election. This
evidence is corrohoraed BY the letter Of Mr.. Thomas
