Who's Frightened?

A few days since, at Morganza we believe, Col.
Stewart very Unexpectedly happened in at the
hour" when Mr.. Harmanson was haranguing the
people, and doubtless explaining the beauties Of
his Swamp Bill. When he had finished, behold
what should tower above the crowd but the head
Of his veritable opponent. This was a click back"
which Mr.. Harmanson did not count upon, for ne
did not dream that "Black Dick was there to keep
his mouth shut. The Colonel Of course rose to re-
ply; but this was entirely out Of order; the free
people Of that vicinity had no right to hear any
thing but locofoco doctrines, therefore Mr.. Har,
manson objected to the Coloneps replying. And
when at length the President of the meeting &C.
cording to him this liberty, Mr.. H., together with
a few friends, seized their beavers, and retreated
from the field of action. Hurrah for our side-No-
vember is coming!

DEATHS DoIses."-We copy the following
from the interesting New Orleans correspondence
of the Concordia IntelIlgencer:
DR.. BENNETT BOWLER is making a
great noise Just now with his percussion
experiments on dead subjects. Without
the aid of galyanism, simply by striking
certain muscles, he makes a dead man
gesticulate like a living orator; he throws
him into any posture you may desire;
makes him sit up; or stand erect; lift
up a ten-pound weight; salute the spec
tators with a bow, or dance a gallopade
one end of the room to the other. These
post morton commissions are very singular,
and may lead to important results. They
are common in Cholera cases. Did you
never hear what happened to old Nancy
Kyle when the cholera first visited Match
ez, in 1882? Every body knows Ant
Nancy. Well, she was watching the
corpse of a woman who had died that
night. All at once the corpse drew up
one foot. Nancy opened her eyes. Then
there was a movement Of the abdominal
muscles. Nancy s%huddered, but %involun-
tarily drew nearer. Then the corpse
slowly extended its arm. She could
stand it no longer, but rushed out, and
alarmed the whole town. To this day
she swears that she "stood her ground
urtifthe dead woman actually slapped
her jaws!"

@The New Hampshire Patriot, a Lo-
cofoco organ, has published what pnrports
te he a list of fifteen hundred appointments
made by the present Administration
Our neighbor of the Democrat is shocked
at such a record of the operations of the
g%uillotine. Now when it is remembered
that there are at least forty or fifty thou
sand offices under the U. s. Government,
that on the fourth of March last, nineteen
twentieths of these and indeed all, save
a few insignificant aud valueless ones,
were held by Locofocos, that the incum-
bents as a general rule held their places
upon the sole condition of using all their
influence in the elections, and that proba-
bly, at least one-haIf of the appointments
made by the present Administration have
been to fill vacancies occasioned by the
expirations of commissions, the number
fifteen hundred cannot but appear ex-
c%eedingly small. Locofoco editors, by
making a noise about such a list, render
themselves ridiculous and contemptible.-

RE-VAccINAT1oN.-First, every indi-
dual is susceptible of vaccinations; second,
re-vaccination is not necessary before pu-
berty, third, the system undergoes a
change at puberty, and re-yaccination
is then necessary; fourth, vaccination is a
preventive of smallpox; fifth revaccl
nation is a sure preventive of vario-
Ioid; sixth, the tb.rd vaccination is inert,
seventh, the system is susceptible of vari.
oloid after puberty wheneverthe individual
is exposed to small pox, without %revacci~
nation; eighth, vaccination is not neces-
sary if the first operation was performed
since puberty; ninth, those who disre-
gard vaccination are always liable to
small pox, whenever exposed to the in
fuence of that dreadful disease; tenth, if
every individual were vaccinated before
puberty, and revaccinated at that reyo.
luton of the system, there would be no
such disease existing as small pox.

CALIFORNIA Co1N.-We yesterday had
the pleasure of holding in our hand one
of the new California gold coins. 1t is
about the size of a Is U. S. gold peice,
but 1t is not quite so handsome. On one
side it has the American eagle, with it,
scription, "California Gold" "Without
alloy" On the reverse it has a circle of
stars with the inscription, "Full Weight"
" Half Eagle,"" San Francisco.""N N.
G. H." ls49." The edge is smooth and
not miIled like our coin. It has a different
color from that of our coin, being Of pure
gold. 1t is coined by a private company.
This coin will prove of great convenience
to the inhabitants Of that golden country.

COLLEGE CoLLnouY.-A class which
graduated not a thousand years ago en-
braced among its members one Tom Ell
Iiot, an incorrigible wag, but who was not
noted for any particular and pointed at
tention to his studies. Mathematics was
a particular object Of Toms disregard;
and this caused him an occasional .jex
d'esprit with the dry Professor of Comics.
On one occasion. the professor, during the
recitation, asked Tom to explain the me.
thod of ascertaining the horizontal paral.
lax Of the sun: Tom replied:
II don't know how" u
But" said the Professor; ''suppess
you were appointed by the government to
ascertain it. what would you dot"
I'D resigu!" gravely responded Tom,
amid the convulsive laughter of the class,
and even the professor actually perpetrated
a grin.

0The Locofoco Legislature of New
Hampshire abuses Gen. Taylor in a set
of resolutions which it has adopted; and
the Union calls them the voice of the na-
ton, and asks if Old lack will NOT lister
to it. We rather think he won't. If Lo~
cofoco dehunciations could affect him, he
would be dead long ago, and if they con-
stituted the voice of the nation, he would
never have been President of the United
States.

MesSs. Stewart and Harmanson.-Our

candidate for Congress passed through
this place on Saturday last, on his way
home, after a spirited canvass. of the East
tern parishes. His health and spirits do
not seem to have dropped during his long
and fa,iguing tour of duty. Our infor-
nation from the East is of the most fat
tering nature. The people every where
turned out with enthusiasm to hear Col.
Stewart, and from reliable sources we
are informed they manifested IN unusual
Iy courteous disposition to listen attentively
to a free discussion of the questions at
issue in the canvass. This spirit of inqniry
is precisely what is needed, and when
once it is thoroughly aroused we have no
fears for the result.
We learn from handbi!ls posted
through town that Mr.. Harmanson will
speak in Port Hudson On the Sd, Jackson
on the 4th, and in this place on Monday
next. Hence, it is his intention to re-
pair over the track recently travelled by
his opponent. Col. Stewart, we are in
formed, vii! certainly be here, with Mr..
H., on Monday, and proposes accompa-
nying him in his eastern tour, should other
appointments not interfere. We hope
he will do so. We did not suppose that
so favorable an opportunity of facing
his opponent upon the stump would again
occur during the canvass; as it has turned
up, we hope the Col. will not fail to profit
by it.-Fthciana Wing.
