Iatemperance.-Mr. Potter, of Yale
College, in a temperance address. lately
delivered ar New Haven, says:
"My heart bleeds as l remember the
fate Of three Of my early companions, who
started in life with myself. One Of them
possessed one of the finest mathematical
minds l ever knew. He would take the
ledger, and 60 up with three columns at
a time with perfect ease. He was the
first man in America that beat the Auto
maton Chess Player, and he told me that
he had every move in his head before be
entered the room. That man fills a drum
kard's grave. Another, who was an ex-
cslIent accountant, and could command
Amos. any salary, met the same melan'
choly fate. Another. possessing the same
brilliant capacities, had gone down-not
to the grave. perhaps, but tho has sunk
clear .eut Of sight, amid the mire and
filth of iptsmpsrsnes."

Assist the Unfortunate.

We recommend the following communication to
the notice of all good citizens Of PIaquemine, and
particularly the ladies, whose hearts are ever enlist
cd in the cause of the unfortunate and the suffer-
ing:
iPARIsH OF ~IsERvrLLE, June 10, 1849.
Mr.. Editor: l beg leave through your generous
columns to call the attention Of the citizens Of Pla.
eie,aine and Of the Parish in general to the desti-
,S,e and suffering condition Of some widows and
orphans Oh Bayou Plaquemine, who having been
driven from their humble homes by the high water,
are now destitute even Of the necessaries Of life or
the means of obtaining them; wherefore, in my
humble opinion, their condition calls aloud on the
charity Of their more f~oatunate fellow-citizens, who
have been blessed with an abundance Of this worlds
goods.
IF the ladies' of P%laquemine, whose charity has
been felt on the other side Of the Atlantic, and caus
ed the hearts of many to leap with joy and gratitude
er the warm garments that shield them from the
chilling blast, would bu, look down this Bayou
thew would find an ample field for the exercise Of
their charity nearer home. and their kind hearts
would ache with compassion for their helpless and
truly destitute ~neighbors at their own doors. Let
your charity, tina. greatest Of the Christian witness
be extended to them, and their feeble prayers will
be heard and answered in your behalf. "He that
give,h to The poor lendeth to the Lord" Many Of
YOUR neishbols who refused their mite to be sent
abroad. only waits to be asked, and they would free
y and most eheerfnIly open their purses to their
destitute and suffering neighbors at home, when
unavoidable circumstances have rendered them
such, ....
!. is now with you, ladies, Gas the angels Of cha
rity) 10 begin he good work, and you will find no
hear. 20 hardened as to turn away empty the fail
hand that is extended to them for such a great and
noble purpose. w3
And you, Mr.. Editor, will have done a generous
part towards sleviating the su5eriDgs Of these help
less wsmen and children by giving this q place in
your valuable paper, for ! feel confident that the
good people Of your village and parish will NOT
tarn q deaf ear 10 The voics Of suffering humanity.
I have seen too mucho ,hsirbenevolsnce 70 doubt
for a momen, their charity. The voice ,has was

Contrast betoeen a Queen's Speech
and a Presidents Message.-The Lon~
don Times, in commenting upon Gen.
Taylor's inaugural address, says:
To the midst offosteriog sores ever ready
to open, and surrounded by conflicting
cries, the Sovereign twice a year utters
a few sentences, the chief merit of which
is thatthey put a fair i.ace on the ssufferings
of the nation and the short coming Of the
Legislature. Across the Atlantic we see,
every thing changed. There a youthful
empire, with a rapidly increasing popula-
ton and Q whole word before it, is boun-
ding on to new regions and new shores
Political ambition, mercantile rivalry, the
jealousy Of classes and ofcreeds, are SUBJ
dued before the ardor Of q race Of which
wealth 10 every form is the prize. The
chosen leader of the people addresses q
great company of adventures, started
afresh on such an enterprise ss the world
never yet saw. Histopics are duty and
hope. His tone, the very rythm Of his
sentences, remind us Of the deliverer lea
ding bic armies into ) long promised land.

The friends of Gen. Taylor may rest assured that
. more effective orator, or a more able man when
extraordinary things are TO be met, could not be
found in this or any other congressional district; but,
as we have previously remarked, we must not
throw The whole burthea Of the next four months
work upon his shoulders, but 60 with him among
the people, and call upon than, il they would give

must send Col. Stewart to Congress--fiiends TO

vinced that wherever Col. 9. appears he will make
hosts Of friends. We wish all to see him and hear
him.

The Funeral Of Gen. Gaines. The
last sad tribute Of respect to the remains
of the veteran Gaines, says the Picayune
Of the 9Th, was yesterday paid by the citi-
zens Of New Orleans. The body lay in
state in the ladies' parlor Of the S..
Charles up to II o'clock, and the was
constantly shronged with visitors. At
about 2 o'clock, according to the arrange
ments Of the civil and military authorities,
a procession was formed and the body was
escorted to the depot Of the Pontchartrain
Railroad, and thence to the lake, where it
was placed on board the steamer Oregon
for Mobile. The ceremonies throughout
were highly imposing.

TO Obtain Pure Ar.-Dissolve one
pound Of chloride of lime in ten gal
Ions of water, one gallon Of this mixture
thrown into a sink every day at noon,
will keep :the surrounding atmosphere
pure and healthy; or, if preferable, a half
peck Of quick lime thrown into the sink
every week, will have the same effect.
In crowded OF damp rooms, the air may
be purified by keeping a auc full Of
chloride O lime, or a platefall of unslacksd
lime on the floor. As soon as the lime
Stacks it is unfit for use in rooms, but
may be used to purify cutters or Sinks
The chloride of lime, when it has lost
the odour which distinguishes it from
common lime, is no longer useful as a pu-
ritter.
When it is desirable to Obtain the puri-
flying virtue of chloride of lime in large
quantity, sprinkle a little vinegar upon it.
Oil Of %vitrioil, sprinkled upon the chloride
Of lime, will disengage the chloride still
more rapidly, but this should be done
only under the direction of a physician,
as the chloride gas, when breathed in
larger volume, has a very injurious effect
upon the lungs. The safest way to use
the chloride Of lime 10 a room is, to keep
it in a aucer va.
The expense of carrying out the above
neutrality-suspicious. is trifin g, but as some
poor persons have o the means Of d..ing
so, we would suggest to the corporation
the propriety Of placing aquanti,y of lime
and chloride Of lime at every police sta
ton, for gratuitous distribution and USE,
under the direction Of the police.-N. Y.

Opening the Campaign.
The Ball in Motion.

from the N. o. Picayuns of the lo.h.l
The Gubernasorial campaign Of our
State was formally opened last night by the
Wings, at the Arcade. Pursuant to call,
a large number of citizens assembled to
hear Gen. Alexander Declouet and Hon.
Duncan F. Kenner, the Wing candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
A more crowded and enthusiastic meet
ting is seldom witnessed in New Orleans
at any season of the year. Certainly we
did not anticipate any such a gathering in
this warm, dull season. Political meet
ings in this latitude in June are Of rare oc.
currence.
Mr., Freret, the President, made a few
remarks, explanatory of the object Of the
meeting, and then introduced to the as
sembag e Gen. DecIouet, the whig NOM
inee for Governor. His appearance on
the stand was loudly hailed with enthusiasts
tic plaudits. Amidst loud and continued
cheering, Gen. Declouet rose, and deliver
ed an eloquent address, which though
comparatively brief, Wal marked with
much good taste, and %enunciated in ex-
ceIlent style: His remarks were atteH-
lively listened to throughout, and e'ici-
ted reiterated applause. Indeed, the
speesh of this young gentleman was, to
our mind, a mastery o~ratorical effort.
When he resumed his seat, the Hon.
Mr.. Kenner was loudly called for. This
gentleman promptly responded to the
wishes of his fellow citizens, and addressed
the meeting. The repeated applause which
his remarks drew from the meeting; proved
most conclustvely that he is al orator of
ordinary ability:

A young child lay upon couch beneath an

His gentle mother sat by his side, smoothed
hack The damp hair from his temples, and kiss
