made the ground of agitation IN some sections
Of the country. There were apprehensions fell
by the wisest men, that some evil act might be
done by Congress, which would revive that ag-
itation and give it a more formidable and dan
gerous aspect than it has yet assumed and
whilst they are not unmindful of the danger
which even the attempt to revive it mnst bring,
the calm yetdecided manner in which the Pres

The Front Road.

As the public are doubtless DESTROYS of being APP
priced of the action of their public servants on i'm
portant matters relative TO their interests, and in
asmuch as the Board of Selectmen bears a great
semblance to a secret association, whose acts are
hidden from the public eye, we deem it a duty we
owe TO our town subscribers to lay open before
them the recent action of the town council in re-
gard to a Front Road.
The ordinances will speak for themselves ire
s~pective of any comment from us.
We are at a loss to say whether these ordinan-
ces will be sealed by the general appreciation of
our citizens; but yet, when we reflect a moment,
and consider that our city fathers are "Just men and
truc,' who have sufficiently possessed the conf
dence of their constituents as to become the special
Repositories, in trust, of the sacred interests of our
corporation, we cannot but conclude, that what is
done 'has been done for the best"

The CHARMS OF LIrE.-We think no one can
read the following extract without acknowledging
its beauty and its truth. How powerfully it
touches the heart with feelings OF a sad yet joyous
nature-and how wildly it illumines the mind
with memories blwsfulto contemplate. There is,
after all, more real philosophy and refined senti-
ment, and more happily expressed, in those news
paper paragraphs than can be found in many bulky
volumes, which the young are forced to exhaust
before they are thought qualified to launch forth
upon the busy mart of life, where wisdom, pa
thence and good deeds, are so much in demand:
There are a thousand dreary things in this world
to afict and sadden-but oh! how many that are
beautiful and good. The world teens with beauty
with objects which gladden. the eye and warm
the heart. We might be happy if we would.
There are ills that we cannot escape, the approach
OF disease and death, of misfortune, the sundering
Of earthly ties, and the canker worm of grief, but
a vast majority of the evils which beset us might
be avoided. The course of intemperance, inter-
woven as 1t is with all the ~ligaments of society, is
one which never strikes but to destroy. There is
not one bright page upon the record ofits progress
nothing to shield it from the heartiest execration
of the human race. 1t should not exist-it must
not. Do away with all this-let wars come to an
end, and let friendship, charity, love, purity, and
kindness mark the intercourse between man and
man. We are too selfish, as if the world was
made for us alone. How much happier should we
be were we to labor more earnestly to. promote |
each others good. God has blessed us with a
home which is not all dark. There is sunshine
everywhere-in the sky, upon the earth-there
would be in most hearts, if we would look around
US. The storms die away, and a bright sun shines
out. Summer drops her tinted curtain upon the
earth, which is very beautiful; even when Autumn
breathes her changing breath upon it. God reigns
in heaven. Murmur not at being SO b%ountiful.
md we can live happier than we do.

The FLAG Still WAvEs!-We are told bv
contemporaries that they have nailed the
succession flag to the mast. Be it so. That FLAG
might wave in triumph over other heads, but
in this good old commonwealth, it will stand,
like the Missouri Senator when he put his bali
in motion, solitary and alone. But we too have
nailed our flag to the mast. Not the black pira-
tical-looking ensign Of d~isunion--not the blank
and misunderstanding image of secession
but the glorious old flag that has foated over
every battlefield of the country from the DAYS
OF the Revolution until now. Arnold ATTEMPTED
to pull it down-Burr, like others that have
come after him, finding the country too large for
his dimensions, made the same effort, and fail
ed The failure in Georgia is now complete,
and we have the consolation of knowing that
so far as she is concerned, that flag will con-
tinue to wave over the land of the free and the
home Of the brave.-Co Columbus (Ga.) Enqui-

AFFRAr AND DEArH.-On last Tuesday even.

the cutoff road in West Baton Rouge for a boat to

out Of the house. 1t is said, then, that. Bruen arm
ed himself, and subsequently, we believe, was
struck by the bar-keeper, but did not use his wea-
pons or resent the blow. After this occurrence,
Bruen, srnarting under the unprovoked attack Of
his ~assailant (who has been represented as a very
sindictiye and violent man, threw a stick at him
from the road, and probably struck Laserf; who
grappled Bruen and threw him. The bar-keeper
proved to be superior to the latter, who called up
on the bystanders repeatedly to take him of, but
no one offering to interfere, Bruen drew his knife,
and burying it up to its hilt in the region of the
throat, extending down into the breast, his antago.
mist Immediately rose, fell and expired. Bruen was
committed 10 prison for trial before the District

The st. Charles Hotel.

The Psayune thus graphically describes the re
cent improvements, ct ceeru, that have been mad.
in this magnificent hotel-the pride of the Empo
rum of the South. We also find in the articl,
below a just compliment TO O. E. HALL, Esq.
whose afiable and gentlemanly demeanor, con.
nected with that spice of generous impulse which
his countenance betrays, will ever gather around
him hosts of friends, in whatever vocation destiny
may place him. Go to the St. Charles if you have
a taste for elegance, a desire for comfort, and a love
for the Injuries Of earth:
The ST. CHARLES HoTEL-The hotel list
of arrivals show how fast the city is filling up
with its annual throng of visitors on business
and pleasure. The vast st. Charles has already
but few rooms unoccupied, and in a short time
it will be filled from basement to attic. This
promises a prosperous season for the proprie-
tors, and is a good omen for our merchants and
men of business. The Verandah and other ho-
tells are, we are glad to see, showing the same
proofs of success.
The st. Charles has, during the past season,
undergone a thorough renovation, within and
without. Every thing about it is either new or
bright and neat as new. The whole of the fine
exterior has been cleansed and so restored by
the brush and the hand that 1t looks as white
and fresh as when newly put up. The interior
has undergone the same publication with paint, |
whitewash, and the scrubbing brush. Repairs
have been put down every where they could
possibly be needed. Floors, ratings, doors, win
dows, locks, bells, and bolts are in perfect order.
Rich and beautiful carpets have been laid down
on the parlors. New curtains of elegant patterns
the windows The vast rotunda is COW
cred with an elegant new oil-cloth, and the
principal stairways are all newly covered with
the same handsome material. The bedrooms
also are newly carpeted, and supplied, moreo.
with fresh mattresses and new bedding. A
great amount o new cabinet furniture has been
added to the stock, and whatever is no. entire
y new has had all that polish, yarnish, or the
skill of cabinet maker and upholsterer could
10 to make it good as new. We have hereto
ore noticed the great improvements and addi-
ional conveniences in the bathroom, and the
whole closet and water arrangements have been
emodeled on the most convenient form.
From top to bottom, inside and out, in par
ors, bed rooms, and dining-rooms, the st.
Charles is now in thorough order, and presents /;
o the traveller every attraction of a perfectly
ranged hotel, and to families all the comforts
it is possible to obtain out of their own
zones. These preparations, we believe, are 1T
he commencement of a new lease, which these :
