VobuNrnERs.-We hear daily lout
complaints from the members of company
r., Andrew jackson Regiment towards
their Captain. We do not know whether
they are we'll founded, but if so, they arc
not in the least creditable to the Captain.
W. hope for his sake, if they ore ground.
less, that he will explain his conduct. His
company was composed ofhighly honora-
bic men, and have d right to feel aggriev-
ed at any inbinuations cast upon them by
their officer, also to call him 10 an account
for any misdemeanor.
We understand that Capt Stewart reported
those that were not present az absent without
leave, and appended TO the foot ofthe pay roll
a note stating they were absent on leave by
Major. Fowler, which fact the major denies.
At meeting ofthe Mechanics Association
held on the 1lth July l946, at the
Market-house in the town of Baton
Rouge, the following preamble and roso.
lutions were adopted and ordered to be
published
Whereas complaints we'll founded by
the Mechanics Association of this town,
TO the Legislature, setting forth that the
law anthorising the lease of the peniten.
tiary had been violated. And whereas
Hteh violation was clea4ly proved before q
committee from the Legislature appoin-
ted to investigate the charges, but notwith.
standing u report contrary to the interests
of the Mechanics, and having q tendency
TO lower them in the estimation Of the Leg.
isIaturo, was presented to that body by
said committee, and whereas n bill was
introduced, to grant the ~lessees Of the said
institution 1877, 900, as a loan to purchase
more machinery, and to cndbEe them 10
gire up all Mechanical pursuits. therefore
Resolecd, That we look upon the bin
granting of said loan, as paying or brib.
ing the lessees not 10 violate the law, in.
stead of forcing them TO abide by it, and
that the support ofsaid bill by some of our
representatives and Senator meet with
our decided Misrepresentation, that we looked
to them TO defend our interests, as we mere.
ly asked for the observance ola certain
law, and not for any exclusive privileges,
and that we have been surprised, und dis.
appointed ut their cobluess and indiner.
ance in our behalf and that we find We
have to5battle alone against a monopoly,
the sanction and appreciation OIL
the Governor.
Resolved, That we see with surprise
that the Governor, though requested by a
petition, signed by a number of citizens of
this town to appoint II new board, and
with the proofs before him that whatever
violation ofthe law had taken place IN the
Penitentiarg, had been done with the sane.
lion of the board then acting, has reap.
as many of the same board as
would again serve, such a step giving 10
understand that their conduct ii approved,
and that they have full power to continue
10 act as usual, in spite Of the remon4l
of the mechanics and citizens of
Baton Rouge, thus ~countenancing the vic.
alton of a state law, a course democrat.
In the extreme in the view Of the
community at large.

SCENE IN A CouNCrB.Room.-On Sat-
urday evening last there was n meeting Of
the Council of the Third Municipality.
A petition, numerously signed by the in.
habitants of the Third Ward, remonstrn.
ting against a nuisance Of some kind or
other, had been submitted to and WINS be--
fore the council for some considerable
space of time. Whenever II was called
up, the majority voted invariably 10 lay it
upon the table. The signers at length got
wroihy, and determined to show their hands
in the matter. One ofthcm, d young man,
was IN the lobby on Saturday evening /; he
waited till the petition was called up and a
motion made to lay 1t on the table. AS
soon as the proposition was carried, which
every one new would be the fact, he lean-
cd over the railing and fell amidst the as.
tonished aldermen. The young victim of
municipal justice then began to iostle the
grave members and overset desks and
chairs. The floor was already strewed
with inkstands, blank leaf andyirgin atils.
the Council adjourned in the midst of some
confusion. Bee.

ROBERT DE WE'RE.
BYC RLEs wills SON, U. s. A.

In a very short time the father and son
were rolling towards the humble house of
the humble Peter White, the new tenant.
Peter White was one of those individuals
who can bear the reverses of fortune with
out sigh, one of those who appear to pos
sess the faculty Of performing with fair abb
lity, and honest integrity, the duties of ev-
cry situation which circumstances may
place them in; he had once been rich, own
ed fine farm in the vicinity of an Eastern
city, but in an unguarded moment he gave
his name TO friend; that friend was a
wretch, and in an hour he lost the accumu-
lation of years, was reduced from affluence
to comparative state of poverty, stripped
of all, but the manly energy of his charac-
ter, the honest integrity of his soul, and
what he wisely priced above his wealth, a
wife who could look upon him with pride
in his prosperity, and love him with still
deeper devotion, in his adversely; daugh-
ter, the first pledge of their mutual afec-
tion, who was all fond father, or doating
mother, could wish; fair, lovely, just burst
ing from the bud of childhood into the full
blown rose of womanhood. We cannot de-
scribe her beauty but gentle reader, use
your imagination; personify beauty, twine

brow, color the image with all the bright
tints fancy affords, and call it Jane White

NACREON AT FAULT.
Drink--drink! sings old Anacreon
And thus his sapent reasons run,
The parched earth drinks the grateful rain,
And trees her plenteous moisture drain;
The sea absorbs the flowing streams,
And it is drunk by Sol's hot beams:
The moon imbibes his glowing light.
And thence she shines so fair and bright:
Then why, my friends, why should ye think
1t crime if I should also drink ?''*
His friends were right--red wine he swlled
With foolish thoughts his brain was filled
And thus his reasoning, seeming wise,
Is folly in another's eyes:
For earth, and trees, and sun, and sea,
Drink acater in its purity;
Whilst light the modest moon drinks up,
From the suns never-failing cup.
Thus, to my friends, beg to say,
Initiate their example, pray!-
Drink only water pure and bright,
And quaf the SUMS life-giving light!
Follow but nature in her ways,
And health, and JOY, and length Of days,
Plenty in basket and in store"
Are yours: nor like the bard Of yore,
Will you, carousing, die at last,
With hard grape-stone sticking fast
Within your gullet. Heaven forbid
That you should die as the Teian did!t
