A Consistent Whix.

The Boston Post, paper more in the
habit of lying for sheer amusement than
any other with which we are acquainted
gave circulation to the following:
-. McMellcn Shafer, Wing Secretary
Of the State of Vermont. who has recent
/ Nv returned from the West, is disguised
with the slaughter house nomination, and
thinks with Parson Brownlow. Of Tennes-
see. that General Taylor is a perfectly
ridiculous candidate Whether the Gen
eral swears or not. Mr.. Shafer uses very
round language to express his intention
not TO vote for him."
This having met the eye OF Mr.. Shafer,
drew from him an interesting letter, from
which we extract the paragraphs below
from the Burlington Free Press:
Icannot bring myself to support man
for President who offers neither apology
nor confession for his past offences, and
who has done more than any other man
living. to foster that spirit Of bold aggres-
sion on the part Of slavery. which annex
ed Texa. to this nation, with all its conse.
quent evils.
To elect Martin Van Buren,, would be
to reward the whole band Of unprincipled
men. who, in 1914. augmented the extent
of Slavery, 10 the utmost Of their power,
and brought upon us an unnecessary and
bloody war. terminating at last in digging
a pit Of destruction from which nothing
but the wisest and calmest Of councils can
rescue us. When those men have labored
as hard ard as long for good, as they have
for evil, il will be time to bestow upon
them the rewards Of well doing.
! There are other and decisive reasons a.
gainst Mr.. Van Buren,. His position re-
lative to Slavery itself. is entirely unsound.
lie Is against its enlargement but can well
tolerate the existence Of it. in cases where
the same power is admitted to exist for its
prevention and destruction. Further: he
cannot be elected by the people. The re-
suit is quite evident; either General Tav.
Tor must be elected by the electoral col.
lege. or Mr.. Cass will be chosen by the
House Of Representatives. This / con-

OUTRAGEoUs.-A man named VIM Spence was
attacked yesterday afternoon in Algiers, by gang
of ten or twelve rufiians, who beat him and robbed
him of every thing they found on his person. Not
withslanding that this outrage was perpetrated in
clear daylight, and in the presence Of several per-
sons, the whole party escaped. Our city and the
neghborhood is being filled with rufiians from the
North, and they feel impunity in committing any
act of vlainy, while members of their fraternity are
countenanced. If law is not made to reach them,
citizens will have to protect themselves Is best they
can. and teach the ruflians that New Orleans is
neither NewYork nor Philadelphia, where peacea-
BILE citizens cannot pass through certain precincts
without fear of being beaten to death with the fist,
the colt or the budgeon. This state Of affairs does
not suit the temper of the people of New Orleans,
and ruffianism would do well to seek more congo
NAL atmosphere speedily possible, or it will
not find itself tolerated.

A SERIOUS AFFAIR.-Karf Bodicus and John
Fritz, two prvates Of the German FusilIiers, were
arrested by the police Of the First Municipality,
yesterday afternoon, at the request Of officer Grill
Ter, who charges them with assauIting him in the
discharge of his duty, and the first mentioned, with
cutting finger off his right hand, with sword.

Der Of them had assembled on ST. Peter street,
opposite the Place dArmes where they had been
drinking freely Bodicus and Fritz were both in

was fighting another man, when he stepped IN and
was about to arrest them, upon which Bodcus and
Fritz assaulted him and the former drawing
sword, made a blow at his head which he parted
by raising his arm, and the sword falling on the

asleep at the time were burnt to death. The cargo,

TIE WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.-The weather
for some length Of time back, says the Union Ex-
postor of the 10th, has been remarkably clear and
dry. The small streams through the country have
nearly all dried up. Even the D'Arbonne, which
shows to considerable advantage in the way of
water in the winter and spring, can be forded al
most anywhere above the Corney. The farmers,
although they wish for a shower now and then for
their turnips and fall vegetables, have had fine
time Of it for gathering cotton and if this staple
does not bring good price this season, it will not
be on account of the bad quality, for it is almost
entirely clear of trash and stain, owing to the lit
tie rain that has fallen it; full crops of it will
be gathered in the hills but we are inclined to the
belief that they will not be large last season
Corn crops are bountiful, and there will be sur
plus to supply all emigrants to our Parish the
coming winter.

prevent the flames from bursting FORTH by closing
the matches and tightly caulking the decks, which
had the desired effect. She is still in the bay,
awaiting favorable opportunity to come up to the
city, when she will be stripped of her sails and
rigging and sunk in the river After extinguishing
the fire she will be easily raised and her cargo
