the high price of cattle threatened to

thereof, at interim, gave to the Quar-
ter Master ofcach regiment a certificate
specifying that there was due to such

These certificates did pretty well for
awhile, and the privation was borne

MELANCHOLY DEATH BY DRowNING.-It be-
comes our painful duty this week, says the Baton
Rouge Gazette of the l7ih inst, to announce the
death, by drowning, of our fellowcitizen, Mr.. JAS
Cooper. This melancholy event occurred the
night before last, from on board the wharf-boat
at this place, between - and o'clock. II appears
that Mr.. Cooper was on the wharf boat awaiting
the arrival of the Luna, when happening to walk
out on the middle deck, it is supposed his legs
struck against the guard railing, whereby he lost
his footing, fell overheard, and was drowned be-
fore timely assistance could be rendered him.
Mr. Cooper had, during residence of about ff-
teen years in our midst, filled several respectable
and influential positions, with talent and ability
such as Mayor of our city, Major of the llth Regi-
meni Louisiana Militia, and Justice of the Peace
which latter office he filled at the time of his DEATH
Ills body was recovered yesterday forenoon, near
the spot where he fell
