DEPLoRABLE. In the Alexandria, La. De-
mocrat of the 24th ut., we find the following
tragic recital:
The mother of a family of four children, liv-
ing in La Ana Coco settlement, it appears left
home for neighboring house, intending to be
absent but a short time. On her return, she
was startled at finding two of her offspring-a
boy and girl-weltering in their gore! Near
them sat their unnatural butchers-also boy
and girl-the eldest of the fratricides not be-
ing more than ten years of age They confess
sed that they had murdered their playmates
with hatchet-so our information says-sup-
posing that when they were out of the way,
their mother would not confine them to the
house when she went abroad.

FLOUR TRADE OF GEORGETOWN. The a.
mount of Flour inspected in Georgetown dur
ing the second quarter of the present year, end
ing OIL the S0th of June, was s6,459 barrels,
being an increase of SO, 76l barrels over the
same time last year. The Advocate says the
inspections in Alexandra last quarter, amount
ed to about 10000 bbls So it will be seen

FRIEN 0s ARE ALL AROUND US.

Friends are all around us;
Even the little child
Loves the stranger whom he met
Who looked on him and smiled.
Friends are all around us,
lfa friends we greet
Those whom in our j0urueying
On Iife's worn way we meet.
Friend are all around u.s.
BY a kindly word,
By a look ofsymoathy
The hearts depths are stirred.
Do not all our footsteps
To the same home tend?
Why should not each one of us
Be TO each friend?
Does the pure dew glistening
On the fair wild rose,
Shun the dark, unloveIy weed
That beside it grows
Does the sunbeam, shining
On the stately dome,
Lose its lustre when ii rests
On the PEASANTS home?
Ifone heart grows lighter
By our wo DIS made glad
If one weary spirit,
Dropping, faint and sad,
Half forgets its anguish
For little while
Is it vain for us TO speak?
Vain for us to smile?
One word kindly spoken,
Simple though it be,
Is often sweetest music
In the hour of agony
One look, kindly given,
When the lips move not,
May be treasured in the heart,
Meier to be forgot
There's an "open sesame"
To elth hu nan heart
At VIII ose magic, at once
Freely thtown apart
Are the close barred portals
OF its deepest cell,
Bidding us in friend hips name
Enter in aud dwell.
Friends are all around u.s.
There's gentle tone
Wheresoe'r we wander,
Answering to our own.
Do not all our footsteps
To the same home tend?
Why should not each one of us
Be TO each friend?

two former instances rendered valuable service
as partizan officer.
Major Bliss has been the assistant adjutant
general TO the army of occupation since it first
entered Texas, and of whose fitness for the du-
ties ofhis station there can be no question, in

Of the efficient aid rendered by him on the 9Th

GiN TAYLOR AND THE Volunteers. Our
trip up from New Orleans, says the st. Louis
Reveille, brought with him a number of Off
GERS just from the army. They were full of
anecdotes, of course, and the following little il
lustration of character is interesting as we'll as
amusing.
Among the volunteers was 'sgentleman's
soma full private, who heartily sick of rainy
weather, mud and no shelter, first went TO his
captain with his complaints, but meeting with
no particular sympathy, resolved to have talk
with Gen. Taylor himself Arrived at the
commanders quarters, the General was pointed
out to him. but he was rather incredulous.-
"1hat old fellow General Taylor? Nonsense!'
Satisfied, however, that such was even the case
he marched up, and, rather p atronizingly open
ed his business.
"Gen. Taylor, believer"
eyes, sir"
"Well, General, I'm devlish glad to see you
am, indeed!n The General returned the c-
Witty.
General, you'll excuse me, but since I've
been here I've been doing all could for you
have, indeed; but the fact is, the accommoda-
tons are Uery had-are, indeed; mud sir! actu-
ally mud! 'btseged to lie down in it, actually;
and the fact is, General, Pm gentLeman's SON,
and not used to it ~
The General, no doubt deeply impressed with
the fact Of having gentteman's son i'll his army
expressed his regret that such annoyances
should ever exist, under any circumstances, in
a civilized army.
"Well-but, General, what am TO do?''
"Why, really, don't know, unless you take
my place."
"We!l, now, that's civil-'tis, indeed. Of
course don't mean to turn yolt out, but a few
hours sleep-a cot, or bunk, or anything
would be so refreshing! Your place-where is
it, General2"
"Oh! just drop down-anyohere about here
any place about camp will answer
The look which the "gentleman's son" gave
tho General was rather peculiar.
"Well, no wonder they call you Rough and
Ready said he: and, amid the smiles of all
but "Rough and Ready" himself, the "gentle-
mans son" returned to take his chance of the
weather.

The Washington correspondence fthe Charleston Courier contains the following remarks on the sub- ject of the mailsan the telegraph:
 'Tbe irregularities of the mails have now become source of great annoyance. The mail from New York fails two or three times week, and the sou. hern mail has always been very irregular. As 10 the telegraph we have, in the New York papers, a long array of affidaviis showing hatit perverted the purpose of fraudulent speculation. ltis certain that Il IS an instrument extremely liable to abuse, espe- clally while Il remains private monopoly. The di- rectors and managers are not responsible for what they communcate,and they nlay,if they choose, mo. nopolise the of the telegraph themselves or can sell the exclusive privilege of it's use 10 fraudulent spectators. But if the directors are honest, still and then cut off the communication, IS to prevent any one from sending the correct information. As the matter now stands, telegrophic information Is looked upon with suspicion.
