~ The HAUNTED HousE-Tnis house, fronting

mysterious voices and sbeeted ghosts, that have
been heard and seen in its spacious chambers
and long-drawn corridors. 1t was leased to
some Gascons, and has been sub-leased once
or twice. Agar ago, the notorious Rev DR..
Lacge purchased it of the agent for 100000,
giving his notes, secured on mortgage, stating
he would establish a hospital on a large scale.

Col. Pc. HEBERE-Narrow Escape
We learn that our. fellow-citizen, Col. P. O
Hilbert, had anarrow escape from the explosion
of the Louisiana. He was in New Orleans at
Vhe time, and had his trunk on board, ready to
come up to his plantation in that boat; but pre-
vious TO the hour of departure, he had the good
fortune to meet with i friend, who persuaded
the Colonel, after some solicitation, to accom-
pany him up on the Knoxville, to leave on the
next day, to which boat his baggage was trans
ferred a short time previous to the catastrophe.
This signal ~interposition of Providence seems
the foreshadowing of new honors, in addition to
those which the past has awarded him, and we
congratulate his fellow-citizens upon the event.
1t would, indeed, have been disastrous, so
soon to have met two great misfortunes, poll
tically and physicslly, and Louisiana the scene
of both.

9 AMERICAN SAILORS ON ExHIBITtos.-Late
news from Lahaine, received at New London,
Ct, makes mention of the arrival at the former
place of the American wlaler Minerva, Capt.
'Seabury. Capt. S. reports hearing from the
Alert, Green, in the first part of the season, be-
ing on the Tartary coast, sent two boats
crews in after wood. They not returning as
expected. he sent the third boat, which was also
detained. The ship was thus left with a single
boats crew, and continued standing off and
on for two weeks or more before he had any
intelligence of the boats. They finally gill re-
turned to the ship, and related that, when they
landed the natives made them prisoners, and
took them back through the country and vii
lagos for the purpose Of exhibition. They were
treated in the kindest manner during their i'm
.prisonaent. When their keepers had exhibit
ed them to their satisfaction, they restored their'
boats, with every article belonging to them

THE SUGAR CROP on IBHRuuIAE-At the
commencement of the season, W. remarked
upon the authority of those we'll acquainted
with the subject, that there would not be more
than a two-tfHhrds crop this year: This opinion
was formed, we presume, from the injury sus-
tanned by the overflow and the general back
wardness of crops. If the above estimation
was correct, we have cause now to place the
produce this year.a it. a. much lower scale, for
the cane has yielded nothing like as, well as
was anticipated. Therefore, under all the cir
cumstances, we think that we may safely say,
that Iberville has produced butlittle better than
a half crop of sugar this year; and this doubt
less being the case elsewhere on the river, there
is no reason why the price of the article should
not ~intrease, excepting the low rate of duty on
imported sugar, and which Harmanson says
should be "kept where it is" ss.'

BALTIMORE, Nd, Wednesday, Nov. 14-Im-
porsam Runaor-Mr. Clay in the Cabinst.-I
have just seen a letter from Washington, which
states, on the best authority, that Mr.. Clayton
| will resign his post of Secretary of State on
the opening of Congress, and that Hon. Henry
Clay will fill the vacancy without doubt. This
is the reason Of Mr.. Clay's early visit to WASH
ington-to consult in regard to the proposed
change. The above information is derived from
what I believe to be an authentic source. You
can use il as you think proper.
Cor. Of The Tribune.
On the other hand, Veritas, the Washington
correspondent Of the Courier and Enquirer
writes as follows on the sam subject:
The various rumors ofcontemplated changes
in the Cabinet, which have been so industriously
circulated in particular quarters, and to which
the efforts of certain notorious sheets have been
SO disinterestedly directed, are, one and all,
"mere leather and prunella," if the statements
of the President. and the relations known to
exist betweenhim and his Secretaries, furnish
any testimony that may be considered as worthy
Of credibility. It is utterly false, that any such
purpose is now, or ever was entertained, and it
may be easily ascertained, that every effort look
ing to a disruption or disagreement will termi.
nate in the confusion, if not the disgrace, Of
those who attempt it. This game has been
played sufficiently long to admonish all who
are interested in its success, that they had better
change the direction of their stakes.

VERY AFFLlcrrsG.-Ihe Delta says that
Capt. Cannon, Of the louisiana, would not
have regretted his loss, if his clerk had been
spared him! Poor fellow! is there no sympa-
thy for bir4! His regrets are rare indeed. Had
he no feelings for the mangled remains Of fell
low beings. which were caused by his own mis-
conduct? Had he no heart for those fair crea-
lures that were torn to piecess No feeling for
parents, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters,
whom he has caused to mourn! Instead of
sympathy for a man of such regrsts, a Ncssus
shirt should be drawn over his shoulders for the
balance Of his life.

DoS'T PAY YET-We have examined the
papers carefully that we received by last Mon
days mail, to learn the result of the Congfes-
sional election in this District. The account
in the Delta, gives the majority of Harman-
son 6o6, and fife Parishes to be heard from.
The Parishes heard from, which gives this ma
jorty, are, West Feliciana Carroll, st. Tam
many, Esst Felciana, Iberville, East B. Rouge,
West b. Rouge, Washington, St. Helena,
Point Coupee, Ayoyelles, Catshoula, franklin,
We therefore advise those who have bet On
Harmanson's majority not reaching 500, to hold
on awhile before they pay up.

THE DISTRICT OF CoLUMBIA-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Led
ger, adyerts as follows to the question of retro
cession: f- , 81. -
The proposition lately mlde in the Baltimore
sun, for the retrocession of the District OF Co.
lumbia to the State Of Maryland, has already
manyadvocates in high quarters, among the very
men who opposed the retrocession of Alexandra
to the State of Virginia. If it really be means
of putting an end to the agitation Of The slave
question, until the latter can be CONSIDERED So
berIy and m%aturely fsedby those whomit COW
Germs, it will be a positive benefit TO the country.
No p~recipitate legislation has ever produced
much good in any country, but when precipi,aa-
CIV is the result Of political combmatiots rather
than Of honest convictions, any pksn by which
the subjectcan he removed from the arena Of
the gladiators, ought 10 be eagerly embraced
by the true lovers Of the country.
