compelled to submit to h further decline Of dc.

aud A general decline has been only evaded
by the great f~rlnness of the larger holders,
who have refused to give way. The sales on
Saturday amounted LOO bales on Monday
to 1000, and yesterday 1900 changed hands;
making the total business Of the past three

mainly confined TO Spanish, English and

closes with a decided downward tendency

SURVEYOR GEsERAL's srrIoE.-We per-
ceive by a wrathy article in the Louisianian
of Donaldsonville, that that office has been
removed, by a proclamation Of the President,
70 our town, we hope it is true, for notwith-
standing the praises the Louisi anian may be-
stew on Donaldsontille,it is notorious TO every
se who has travelled the river that that place
is on'y accessible in high water, and as 10
health there is no place in this state that can
vie with Baton Rouge, even in the epidemic
that has just left us we have lost but four
male citizens, and Ave ladies over one years
residence. The Western land Office being
located at Opelousas, placed both laad-ofiices
in the same region Of the state, whereas Baton
Rouge is nearer and easier Of access to those
interested in lands now coming to market,
and nearer to the Registers office at st He
lena, which is certainly a matter of conve-
niencc TO those interested.
The editors ofthe Louisianian betray a to-
tai ignorance of Baton Rouge, come and pay
US a visit, friend Phelps, and we will bet your
prejudices will vanish.

ted in such a measure, most Of them own

In PENNSYLVANIA, our most sanguine anti
cipations are more than realized. When the
locofoco legislature districted the State, they
allowed us fire members, with a chance for

caliy proceeding. We have elected ezeren
Wings certain, and an independent Democrat,
who is for a Tariff and National Bank, who
ran IN oppos ton to the regular nominee Of
the ~locofoco party, while in the 23d district,

decidedly in favor of REED, the Wing candi-

NAvAL.-The steamer Mississippi is fitting
for sea at the Charlestown Navy Yard.
The u, s. frigate Rerttan, now lying off the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, has been ordered
by the Secretary of the Navy to be fitted out
for sea by the 10th of November.
The steam frigate Princeton left her moor
ings at the Navy Yard, on the 18th instant,
and proceeded under steam down the river
from Philadelphia to New Castle. The u. S.
Gazette says she moved swiftly through the
water and fully realized the high expectations
formed of her capacities. Capt. Stockton, by
whom she was designed, and under whose
inspection she was built, has cause to be
proud of the successful accomplishment of
his difficult task.
The u. s. store ship-Erie was at Valparai-
SO discharging, July 8.
. The new u. s. sloep of war Plymouth,
built at the Charlestown Navy Yard, was
launched on the I1th instant, in fine style.
The Plymouth is about 1000 tons burthen,
and is pierced for % guns, which are protec-
ted from the weather and in action from fall
ing spars, by a light spar deck, which, howe
yer, does not detract from the general beauty
of her appearance. The Boston Journal says
that she was coppered and painted on the
stocks, and sits elegantly on the wa er, and
can be soon fitted for sea, if required.

Ilth for the West Indies. H

The Schooner Santa Anna arrived from
Corpus christi on Saturday, having left
there on the 29th altiHto.
All was tranquil in that vicinity. Gen.
erai WoIl had disayowed the act of the
party of Mexicans who recently carried a
quantity Of tobacco belonging to some ira
ders at Corpus Christi, and offered 10 pay
for the same at the rate of twelve and a
half cents per pound, which proposition
was accepted by the traders.
Some thirty persons have settled at the
Rancho of Messrs. Kinney and Aubry.
About 300 Mexicans, most OF them for
merry inhabitants of Texas, were at the
Rancho on their way 10 settle in our ter
ritory, believing peace to be secure, and
preferri6g TO live in this country.
The Mexican troops upon the frontier
have been Withdrawn or disbanded, with
the exception of five hundred men, enga.
ged in making a canal to turn the waters
of the Rio Grande into the Brazos SANTA

The mouth Of the former from the Gulf.
This canal will be about eight miles in

more, the hands employed on it being SOL

The Mexicans seem to be quite as desi-
rous for peace as The Texans.
Twelve of the Mexicans taken at San
J~acinto, and now in this city, have caused
a communication to be inserted in the
Chronicle, in which they publicly decline
returning TO Mexico, in accordance with
the request of Santa Anna, and say that
consider themselves "as freemen; and

,roachments of Santa Anna, or any other
who may have the temerity to at

III The Agricultural Fair, we are happy
to say, will be highly interesting, if we may
judge from the ceounts we receive from al
quarters in relation 10 the Agricultural and
mechanical products in preparation. This is
as il should be. 1t is tise Louisiana should
wake from its lethargy in regard to such
matters. 1t is possessed of as many sources
Of wealth as any other state in the Union
Why then should we be behind other states
In fostering agriculture, arts and sciences. Our
population is increasing rapidly. and it is high
ly important that Improvements should keep
pace in ratio to that increase, or we must be
imporerished-ihen, let us throw of all sell
f~isfness and stir ourselves to the propagation
of those branches We expect the next fair
will ouishine the proceeding ones, if the
members Of the Association will give the sub
ject the at ention it deserves,

From the exaggerated reports circulated
throughout the country they have been led
to believe that half our town was proslra-
ted by the scourge, when il is a positive fact
that we have lost only about thirty in the
bounds Of the corporation, white aud black,
during the prevalence of The disease, and those
mostly strangers and children, The fact is
that our town being always SO healthy, the
few deaths have frightened some indisid-
uals, when, in fact, we have had less sickness
during the summer. than in the country, and
We would invite our country friends TO come
now in town for the benefit uf tleir health.

Louisville Journal Of the 7th in3tau', contain.
ing the following notice Of an affa OF blood
which occurred in that city:
Last evening. about six O'Clock, Mr. WIN,
G. BeDhau, brother-in-law of the senior edi.
tor, of this paper, was stabbed at the White
Mansion, corner of Market and Third streets
by Talbot Oldham, son of Judge Oldham, Of
Jefferson county. Some slight, quarrel hav-
ing taken place; oldham stabbed Mr. Benham
twice with a bowie knife, once in the arm near
the shoulder, severing a large artery and once
in the back Mr. B. died about midnight.
We do not wish at present TO detail all the
circumstances of the occurrences; but, il
they have been truly detailed to US by. an
eyewitness, the act was as atrocious a muir
der as ever was perpetrated. Mr.. b. was en-
tirely unarmed.
The assassin, who, even before this act,
had an Infamous n~otoriety here, immediately
mounted a horse and fled from the city. The
SHERIFF subsequently went in pursuit, but we
have not learned whether he succeeded in
catching him.

The TOME OF CHATEAUBRIAND. - Mr..

tioual I~ntelligencer, 'thus describes the tomb
of a man who is yet living. He says:-Pub-
lie attention is again drawn to the tomb Of
the immortal author, the Viscount de Cha
teaubriand. who yet lives near the Observato-
ry in tolerable health. He solicited, in 1928
from his birth place St. Malo, a grant of space
for a grave in the Isle of Grand-Bay, near
that maritime town, because his mother was
there seized with the pains of parturition,
Thoughts he brought him forth in the kitchen
of the family mansion in the town, aot being
able to reach her chamber The good folks
of st. Malo voted him fifteen feet by ten on a
point of the islet AID four thousand francs for
the tomb cut in solid rock, with a cross of
granite erected on a stone six feet long and
three wide. The iron railing will not be
placed until his mortal remains are deposited
in the rock. The place can be visited only at
low tide of the ocean. The adjacent rocks
are steep and huge the whole scene roman
tic TO sublimity the solitary cross is deserted
far at sea every day, in the summer, there
is a concourse of pilgrims who pay homage
and gather Observation-Disclosures from the ere
vices and pebbles from the yet untenanted
grave-area. What man so worshipped in his
