IMMENSE CLAlM.-A number of citizens of this
parish in the early part of last week startled
by hearing of claim that has just been made to a large
and valuable tract OF land Bayou B9ui comprising
front OF least twenty miles the said bayou, all OF
which is the choicest land in the State highly improved
and in cultivation II extends from Bayou Lamoue to
the village of Cheneyvlle taking in the lands both
sides of the bayou the whole distance The claim
thirty of the best plantations in the parish and indeed in
the Stale For the purpose OF giving our readers
idea OF this immense claim, have examined the tax
list Of last year. and find the lands includes assessed at
S453 935 According the list there this land
96 slaves 1t is calculated that about 10000 bales of
cotton raised annually within the limits Of the claim
which, at $50 a bale, would be 100000
The claimants of this fine body of land, General
Gaines and his wife, Mrs. Myra Gaines. They claim
under the late Daniel Clark, of whom Mrs Gaines pro-
fesses to be the legitimate child and legal heir. The
question of her legitimacy has been before the public
tribunals for time, but do not know whether it
has been fully decided. We understand however
that it has lately been ascertained that lady by the
OF Smith, who is living in Philadelphia, was pres.
the marriage OF Mr. Clark to Mrs Gaines mother,
and that she will testify to the fact The present
have all been notified by the Y. s. Marshal OF the
institution OF the suit for the recovery of the lands they
occupy alexandria (La) Republican.

THE PRAISES OF TEMPERANCE.

What has temperance done for this nation
within few years! 1t has sent it's blessings
among all ranks and conditions of society. Sons
and daughters have been restored--fathers and
mothers edeemed-husbands and wives re-
united-prisons and poor houses depopulated--
vice and poverty diminished-viriue and indus
try promoted-and thousands, once bowed low
in self-debasement and disease, now stand erect
iH honor and heathful vigor, shouting forth,
with one accord, the praises-the glorious
praises-of Temperance.
One might suppose that cause producing
such vast and ocular changes in the morals and
happiness Of a onmuntr-chaDges which are
observable in every neighborhood, and almost
in every famiv--woH}G I'll once enlist all re-
fiectng mlgd~ in its behalf But alas, no! At
every point is met BY absolute and determined
opposition; and inch BY inch are we compelled
to battle our way against the mighty influences
of fashion and wealth arrayed against it. But
let the friends Of our cause take courage from
the glorious victories already achieved; and
cheered on by the redeemed hosts which every
where hail u.s.. let our efforts be concentrated
and energetic. Every thing good and holy bids
us GO forward! Truth is with us--JUsTIcE is
with us-PHILANTHRoPy is with us-and "the
best of all is, GoD is WITH u.s." Tnen let
every soul come up manfuily to the work, until
our entire nation, freed from giant vice, shall
loudly proclaim the PRAISES IF EMPERANcE

We recommend an attentive consideration OF
the following by every reclaimed man in the
District, for much good might be effected would
they follow the suggestions thrown out.
WHY SO UNGRATEFUL!
1t is very natural for an individual rescued
from impending calamity by another, to avail
himself of every opportunity To acknowledge
the kindness, and on all proper occasions to
manifest the liveliest feelings of gratitude to
his benefactor. This is but sheer justice. Bu
how does it stand in relation to the cause Of
temperance? There are thousands in the COM
munty whom it has rescued from the most fear
full caianities; yet, by their acts, they declare
that they are under no obligations whatever to
it, They are neither willing to contribute to
it's support by their mosey or labor, nor will
they even attend meeting. unless there is a
probability of having their ears tckled by some
thing uncommon. We certainly view this as
palpabe ingratitude. While we hold it to be
the duty Of every well wisher of society TO exert
his full influence to destroy the alarming vice
against which we are contending, we can but
regard it as the peculiar duty OF those who have
been largely or directly benefited by the tenn
perance effort; and if they would but perform
that duty in becoming manner, how wonder
fully would the progress of this mighty work OF
benevoence be accelerated!
We sincerely hope that such persons will no
longer consider that they have neither part nor
lot in this matter. The cause has strong claims
upon them-claims which can only be effaced
by strenuous and persevering efforts on their
part, to extend to others those advantages which
j, has so evidently conferred upon them"-N.
