TIE ELlsKA.-This fine Bayou Sara packet goes
downthis afternoon at 4 O'Clock. We recommend
her to our citizens with pleasure, as a most excel
lent passenger boat, having accommodations sur
passed by no boat in the trade, and a correct and
prompt business boat. She is commanded by
Capt. Landry, apol,e and gentemanly officer, who
is particularly anxious at all times to contribute 10
the comfort and pleasure OF his passengers. That
prince Of clever fellows, DixITRY, is her chief
clerk, and a better and more thorough going business
man cannot be found on any boat. The Elisha has
three Warehouses;, two on the sides to propel the
steamer, and one in the Office, which is called the
ladies HReelhoase. We wish the Elisha full Heights

good, will God excuse US if we neglect to pro-
vide for those who have such strong claims
upon our sympathiess
Will any mother present, who has beloved
son exposed to "the pestilence that walketh
in darkness, or the destruction that wasteth at
MONDAY" say that it is vain to try to improve
the circumstances of the sailors who are wait
ing at our very doorss She has oftentimes
wept through long nights of darkness-each
angry blast OF wind sending thrill through
her frame like death -knell-yet if she be
christian mother, with more intense agony
has she thought of the probability OF his being
him in this miserable boarding house which
he makes his home when on shore. Under
the influence of feelings such as these, she
surely cannot be so selfish as to forget that this
day, in these very streets, are wandering, sal
Tors, who have mothers with hearts as full of
tenderness as her own, and who are as anxious
as she that they should be placed, when on
lrnd, in house where they shall be restrained
from evil by the healthful moral influence
about them, and be cheercd by the comforts of
home. Oh how would these sisters feel to
know that those who grew up with them side
by side-knelt with them in childhood at the
same altar-were reared as tenderly as tl.ey-
are now revclling in crime, drinking the cup
of death, living where they are beset by temp
tatons in every form, becoming so familiar
lied with profanity, drunkenness and fearful
crimes, that their moral sense is blunted, and
they say in their hearts, enceforth let evil
be my good - And as there are few here that
| have not been mother, wife, daughter or sister
to the sailor we know that it is impossible for
| any one to refuse her influence and aid for the
purpose of promoting his good.
| In view of these things, will we not this day
pledge ourselves individually to strive more
earnestly the coming year to do much for the
good of the porally, morally and
religiously- though indifference and GOODNESS
meet us at every step, and a tide OF opposition
should threaten to overthrow all our efforts
| When sitting by our own pleasant hearth
stones, let us not be narrow minded, thinking
of, and caring for those only who move in our
own limited circle, but remember the many,
many wandering ones who find their homes
and their graves midst the storm and the
tempest forgetting that far beyond the trou-
bed sea of life lies the great ocean OF Eterni-
ty, and that they must trim THEN sails Alright
| if they would move calmly on its bosom.

Decision IN THE rPILLow" CAsE--The court
martial has decided that, although evidence
was offered ofGen. Pillow having in;erlined a
letter, identified with the ''Leonidas" docu-
ment, it does not connect him with the publ
cation OF said letter, he is therefore acquitted
OF that charge.
His claims to having planned the attack on
Contrcros have been set aside by the court. and
1t has been decided that Gen. Persifor F.. Smith
planned said attack. and BY the aid of Col. Ri.
ley, successfully carried it into execution. II
has been established by evidence, that Gen
Pillow disapproved of that movement. The
other charges against Pillow are considered no,
sustained; enough, however. has been proved
