THE CREvAssE IN PorHr CovPEE.-We pub
lished in our last q paragraph from the Point
Coupee ECHO, stating that a crevasse had &C.
CURED in the island Of False river. This Gre
vase Is represented to be about ten arpents in
width, and is carrying destruction with it to
the planters On Crosse Tete. Many are alrea-
dy drowned out, while the water is still rising
rapidly. Labauve & Qtard lose their entire
crop again this year-their aggregate loss con
sequent upon the destruction of the present
and last years crops will not fall short Of $780,
600. All this disaster to these gentlemen, and
others, is owing entirely to the INEFFICIENT man
neE in which the levee laws are executed, and
brings stronger the conviction to our mind that
the entire levee Of the Mississippi, within the
boundary line, should be taken care of entirely
by the State, with proper officers, boats, etc,
for that purpase.

TWENTY DoLIAR GOLD P1EcEs.-The' new
American Gold Double Eagles, made Of Cali

at Philadelphia, Ithas been proposed to style

They are about the size of the silver dollar,
but Of course considerably heavier. On zone

1850" On the reverse is the coat Of arms Of
the Union, being the figure Of an eagle with
spread wings, Of different design to those on
ony other coin, with arrows, olive branch, and
shield, and the motto e. Plnribus Uuum" on
scrolls on either side. The eagle is surrounded
with the words sUnited States of America,"
"Twenty D." and has, immediately over il, q
circle of thirteen small stars. It is q most SUBJ
s~tantial and beautiful coin, and will be both
useful and convenient.

Projection OF PLAouEh1NE.-The bill Of
our representative, E. w. Blake, Esq, for the
protection of Plaauemine, passed both bodies
Of the Legislature, and is now a law. 1t au-
thorizes and directs the State Engineer to pro-
coed at the next stage Of low .wateE with q
State boat and hands, and secure the drift NOW
formed at the entrance of Bayou Piaqpemine;
and upon the authorities of the town furnishing
the necessary materials, to drive piles from
that point $50 feet in from, of the town. The
bill Of this gentleman, for leyeeing the left bank
of Grand River, from the Park to Bayou Pi-
geon, vas also passed. .
We are happy, likewise, to perceive, that the
bill Of R. L. Watson, Esq directing the State
Engineer to remove the instructions from
Grand River and Bayous Paul and Jean, also
became q law. The constituents Of these gen.
tlemen cannot fail to applaud and 10 remember
such services.

Conversational.

BALTIMORE, March l5.--In the U. S. Senate,
on Thursday, Q4)a petitions was presented
asking for laws securing the right of trial by
jury for fugitive slaves. caused an excited
debate, and was laid upon The table.
Senator Douglas, of Illinois, spoke IN the
California question. He advocated the pres;-
dents doctrine of non-intervention. He was
for extending aid and protection to minorities
50 long as they rely upon the constitution and
the laws-otherwise he had no sympathy 70
them. @
Gen. Cas- spoke and expressed the same
sentiments. He was in favor of the admission
ofCalifornia as she is, but asked for b,e estab.
lishment of territorial governments for other
territories, without proviso of any kind.
Further action on Mr.. Foote's resolution was
postponed. %
nthe House nothing of interest occurred.
1t is supposed now that California will be
admitted, and new slave States from Texas
provided for, as a set-off. c q o

LOVE, MURDER AND ATTEMPTED S,,rc,np

Love, MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
a dreadful affair, very much resembling the
Bradley tragedy, occurred yesterday about 2P.
NJ, at us levee street. A young German nam
ed William Smith, came over to this country
months since in company with a German girl,
to whom we understand he was betrothed. Dur
ing her residence here her affections have been
enlisted for another, and Smith has been refus-
ed. 1ncited to madness by jealousy, he yesterday
visited the house where she was employed,
called her up stairs, and deliberately drew a
double barrel pistol from his pocket and dis
charged one Of the loads at the unfortunate fe-
male, sending the ball completely through her
neck. The girl, fell to the floor, bathed in blood,
upon which Smith held the other barrel to his
own head and fred The load passed upward,
and the allaodged in 9the ceiling, leaving him
unframed, except his face, which was much
burnt by the powder The reports of the pis-
toll aroused the household; Waterman Seguin
was called in and Smith committed to his Gus
tody. The poor victim was conveyed in n dy-
ing state to the hospital, aud there was hardly
any hope Of her recoyery.--Crescent

THE HERo1NEs Of HuscARY.-aI have my
self seen," says the author Of Scenes in the
Civil War in Hungary in ls4S-9, "in the dis
trict of the Ottochan regiment, wives and mai
dens take up the muskst, and repair to the chain
of posts on the Turkish boundary, that all the
men might be able to take up the field. Such
and eight days duty at these frontier posts is
no triae, and requires 10 u little 6rmnesa. Old
half.invalided, frontier subalterns, incapacitated
for taking the field, were the c~ommandants;
young, many Of them handsome, females CON-
posed their troops"

PROFESSOR WEBsrER's TRlAL.-Professo
Webster's trial for the murder Of D.. Parkman
has progressed as far IS the third day, and the
chain of circumstantial evidence against the
prisoner is becoming stronger. Three ply
sicians positively assert the remains discovered
to be those Of Dr.. Paskman; but q fourth could
detect nothing by which to identify them. The
row of artificial teeth found with the remains
have been identified BY the dentist. Publie
opinion is divided as to the guilt Of the prisoner,
Who is becoming very much deiecteS.

INPRovEMENrs.-1There has never been .
time, says the franklin Banner, when our
village improved 50 fast as At present. New
buildings are constantly spripging up on all of
our streets, and though man7 Of them are Of
humble appearance, yet altogether they are a
great improvement to the place. March and
payday have made many Of our citizens look g
though the cholera or cramp-cholic were on
their track; but when this fatal month is out Of
the way, and the improvements are paid for,
every one may again :asit under his own vine
and fig tree," or Ego on his way rejoicing

An INTERESTING VIsIroR.-A yery queer
animal from Cuba has been shown to US, lately
imported for curiosity by a gentleman of this
city. 1t is scientifically designated Capronus
Houtias, the specific name being its popular one,
and apparently suggested by one of its charac-
tenstic voices (t has many.) The generic name,
meaning hog-rat, is also descriptive; the, animal
belonging to the order rodeniia, and having a
of the marmot; while in its coarse, shining hair,
sharp and curved back, its long and consequent
snout, and still more in the plain unequivocal
grunt in which it now and then INDUCES, it
presents striking resemblances to the swine
family. Moreover, its flesh is favorite article
OF food, which may serve for another link
fhe Houtias is Of the size of a large rabbit, and
Is one OF the only two species Of ~quadrupeds
native to thu Island ofoCuba, The other is, we
have understood, a species Of the same genus,
smaller, more active, and more mischievous.--
They are further interesting as being found
amusing for the variety of his notes--songs
we are tempted to call them. He whistles in
a superior style; he brays as well, or better than
the original patentee Of that form of Grafton; he
grunts, as aforesaid; he clacks like Il marsh-hen,
screams like a peacock, and occasionally throws
off touches of the most delicate warbling of the
bird. We do not understand that he
has any faculty Of imitation, and if so. these are
very curious eoineidenees. The specimen
brought here is the survivor ola pair that were
shipped. The female proved an outrageous
termagant, scolding her mate, biting men and
and intent on strife. She died on the
passage, probably of mental exacerbation,
