President TAYLOR, tile Agr;cuhurist-

President Taylor, tile Agricuhuist.-
The Old Hero lately paid a visit to the
village of Laurel, when he appeared in a
new character, one that is IN fine unison
win the %sympathies Of the great mass of
us cou'trymen. The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore American.
hereon says:
be't then known that this real old hard.
fighting soldier, who would never loono
his wounded behind him, did nm awa~
far from the cares of office, comino ~,
i'll the rear ofthe camp to snuff the coun.
try air once more, and to 90, with Col.
Capron con 0mme, over his improved
grounds-examinning his sy stem of drain.
ing his improved stables-his dog.powder
churns-his %luxurient crops Of whes, and
grass-his symmetrical short horns and
his sleek and beautiful Devons-enioying
his brief holiday; like a boy let out Of
school to climb The cherry or the chesuut
tee, or to track'end shoot the squirrel
or the rabbi. Let it not then be said his Vi
sit was 20 the village of Laurel. True the
village was there, and he gave his hand To-
the factory girls, as he gives his heart %
his country; but his visit was, lei it be re-
peated and understood, not to Manufac.
turers-but to Farmer Capron, and if the
farmers ever had a true friend 10 the Pre-
sidential chair since the days Of Wash
ington, they have one in old lack; of
which they will have the proofs.

Correspondence Of the Southern S~entina.]
JACKSON, La, Aug. S, 1549.
Mr.. Editor: We had quite a scene here yester-
day. Mr.. Harmanson and Col. Stewart, by ar.
rangement, were to speak at the college chapel at
II o'clock, but to the surprise Of the audience as
sembled and the Democrats in particular, Nj. H.
pronounced himself sick, and the Colonel gallantly
refraiuing from taking advantage of Mr.. Harmans
sons indlspositjon, Withdrew, and went away
Mr.. Harmanson. finding the Colonel had left. sud
appearance He spoke three hours one of which
was devoted to excuse for being sick, the other to
abusing the Wings, and the last to praising himself.
During the time he would occasionally touch upon
some Of the political questions of the day. He said
that he was opposed to a tariff for protection, and
asserted that if the people could not live without
protection from the Government, they ought to die
The tariff on sugar he called obnoxious, because
we taxed millions for the benefit of a few thousand,
He said that the Wings were all high tariff men,
and if it had not been for them we never should
have been saddled with such measures; and to the
establishment of all his hearers, just before he closS
ed, he said that there was no difference bntween
the Wing and Democratic parties! He told us a
great many things we never heard beforehand ne
vel expectto hear again. Many who had not seen
Mr.. Harmanson, expected to see something that
would fill their minds eve ola member Of Congress
but. as Jerry Sneak would say, "vasn' they suck.
ed in" | think he has a speech for the sugar and a
speech for the cotton grower. He speaks in Gins
ton Tomorrow, and the Colonel will be there.
In this Parish Stewart will run a long ways
ahead of the Wing ticket, and if the Wings of the
river parishes will but do their duty, Stewart will
be our next member of Congress.
Your friend and obd't serv't,
PELICAN.

Shameful Disregard Of Duty,

We believe that the appointment Of Rey. Engi-
neer Woodbridge has to come before the Senate at
its next session for ratification. If su Oh be the fact
he is pursuing a course which evinces a perfect
recklessness of consequences, and moreover gives
evidence of the fear that is pervadlng the bosoms
Of the Democrats of this District relative to the re.
suit Of the Congressional election. Mr.. Woodbridge
is at present on board one of the State boats; and
il being observed that this boat was al several points
where Col. Stewart addressed the people a short
time since, and within the knowledge Of all that the
boat had no business there, the State Engineer aoas
accused efking at these points on the aforementioned
occasions prctessedly for the purpose Of eleetiomeering
against Col. STEWART, ,ohich he partly confessed!
Now, this is a fact which we dare any one to deny.
And this is the means which our opponents resort
TO that their party may be triumphant! Every cit-
izen of this District is taxed, and heavily, for the
support Of the State boats and to pay the Engineer,
and instead of attending to his duty as an honest
man should do, occupies his own time and the
services of one of the boats, in following about the
Wing candidate for Congress, to contribute his mite
against his success. Where is the man, Democrat
or Wing, that would not r~epudiate such conduct?

The NEW ORLEANS STANDARD AND COLONEL
SrEwARr.-This organ of momentary existence
has showed, by its unmitigated abuse of the Wing
candidate for Congress in this District, where the
shoe of Democracy punches. 1t conceives, donbtS
less, that the Democratic crew in this District must
have other aid than they can muster at home TO
save their ship from destruction. 1t is evidently
uneasy for fear Mr.. Harmanson will get the party
up here so soamped it will never be able to reco-
yer its legs again, hence the Standards violent in-
vective against Col. Stewart. The article we al
lude to takes its text from the fact that the Colonel
is a minister Of the Gospel. What Of that!-is
that to disfranchise him from all the rights and no.
nors pertaining to our free country7 His ministe-
rial obligations and tastes is a matter which con-
Germs himself personally and no one else. 1t is a
proof Of bis elevated mind. But the Democratic
prints are VIGOROUSLY fond. when their cause is wa
ming, to dive into a personal TRADE, as low and Ii
belIous as it is degrading and Illuminating to a sem
sitiye and high,toned mind,
We will not quote any Of the language Of this
short>lived, eary-struck standard Of Democracy
We never wish our columns to have any thing in
them but truth and decency, and there is nothingin
the article alluded TO that has any claims 10 either.
Why did not the editor likewise allude TO this min
lister of the gospel raising a company for Mexico,
when the voice Of Taylor was first heard on the
Rio Grande? Oh! no-let that be smothered, cry
the opponents Of Col. Stewart, he does not tarnish
his ministerial calling by fighting the battles Of his
country, bat when the combined intelligence Of
. great party Of eleven Parishes select him by &C.
clalnaton a. a man whose honesty, high moral cha.
49, J intelligence, spirit and enthusiasm, and last
&c., least. his tact, energy and eIoquence as
sional eoas-sssssstly fit him for a seat in our ma.
once invaded. "a sssssaary of bis private life is at
cast ridicuie and consaasss Sc manufactured "a
his dignity as a man, and his -sssss,aoraI fserng
izen. From the .Bllingsgate srsss~~.,,s. -.
shove, q stranger would form an opinion 'ssss>@
most contempt for the intelligence Of the WhigSss
this Distrie.--for it would have him believe tina
they nominated AZ a candidate to Congress a vain
g~rasping. itinesant preacher. Col. Stewart is tn
reverse Of this; be i . high.uninded and ganerou
planter, and preached the gospel for the good b
might do bis feliow-nsn, and il an elevated argu
msnt 10 favor Of his present position: And hi
snsmiss and taducers will find. when Novembe
comes, that tbeir venom and malice have had bu
little weight in this Congressional D district.

Remarkable Phenomenon,-We ara
informed by the Captain of the schooner
Traveller that on his passage to this city
from the Michigan side, while not a
breath Of air stirred the water which was
perfectly unruf1ed, and clear and smooth
as a mirror, a breeze was constantly
blowing aloft so strong that with her top
sails alone set, the schooner ran seven
miles an hour for some hours. During
all this time no breeze was felt on the
deck but on going up the rigging some
fifteen feet or more, the wind could be
sensibly perceived increasing in violence
higher up, and bending and twisting the
topmasts as in a severe gale. The cap-
tain said that therapid movement through
the still water with the lower canvass use
less and not air enough on deck, and at
the same time the upper sails filled and
strained to their utmost capacity, was sim
gular beyond description. 1t is GER
tainIy very remarkable phenomenon,
snch as seldom occurs on land or water:
1t will be remembered that at the same
time a strong wind from the east was
blowing here.-Milyauki Paper.
