Home Improvements.

Our city continues to present, in al
quarters, tokens Of substantial improve
men,, notwithstanding the dull season i,
upon us. The streets along the lcvc,
q show most striking evidences of improve
mcnt. There is one Improvement, how
ever, which we desire particularly to no
tice, and that is the improved condition o.
the steamboat landing. Heretofore, ON
landing has been looked upon as the worsi
on the Mississippi, and many boats have
refused to land solely an 0 ofthe diff
Guilty Of doing SC. But that serious obsta
Gle is now removed, thanks to the enter
prise and public spirit of Messrs. PIKE
FRELIGH & Co, who have erected in from
Of their commodious warehouse, an excel
lent and substantial wharf, which they de
sign to carry down to low water mark a.
the river recedes.
In a few days Messrs. MARKHAM &
PRATT viii haves one of the finest wharf
boats that the river can boast Of, at oul
landing. With the .mharf and whax1
boat, We are inclined to the opinion that
the Baton Rouge landing will be consider
ed so attractive that all the boats will pay
as a visit, whether they have business oil
not.

BENroN AND ASTi-BENroN.-The Mis-.
sotri Democrats are rapidly taking sides
for and against Mr.. Benton, and the war,
from the bitterness with which the cam
|paign opens, promises to be one in which
|"no quarter will be asked and none given.
The ST.. Lofts Union stands out promin-
|entIy as the leader Of the Benton hosts,
while the st. Louis Times gallantly heads
the army of opposition. The Democratic
papers iii the State are pretty equally d.
vided. "Old Bullion" don't half do things,
and he will make a desperate struggle to
retain the seat in the Senate which he has
occupied for some thirty years. The strng-
gle will he desperate, and the issue doubt
|ful. II the Wings only play sheir parts as
they should, we do not sec how they can
fail of carrying the state.

Ex-Governor Isaac Johnson.

We find in the Washington Union the
following extract from a letter written by
Isaac johnson to Senator Downs.
1t will be seen that the Ex-Gov. is strongly
i'm favor Of the Compromise
"CHATHAM, New River postofice, |
June 10, 1850.
/ have read with great pleasure your
speech published in the Union Of the 29th
uIt. The strong and sensible views therein
presented do yor, much honor, and will be
approved, ! have no doubt, by the people
|of Louisiana generally. have not recently
mingled much among the people of the
Estate; but so far as I have had an oppor-
|tunity of Judging, I do not hesitate to say
that, in my opinion, the great mass of
them are decidedly in favor of the compIQ-
mise proposed by the committee of thirteen,
|of which you were a member. Indeed, |
have not heard one man of the State ex-
press the slightest opposition to the plan
|of adjustment proposed by the committee.
1T is. certainly important, i'll every point OF
view, that all the subjects embraced in the
proposed compromise should be al listed at
|once, if practicable and the recent indi-
cations of a favorable change in public
sentiment, throughout the Union. i'll favor
|of such an adjustment, is a matter Of gra-
|tulation to every friend of the Union.
The principles of the compromise proposed
|by the committee should be, and | feel
VERY confident would be, satisfactory, if
adopted, to the great mass OF the people
|of the southern as well as of the northern
land eastern States.
We understand that Gov. Walker also
approves of the Compromise. With the
|Ex-Gov. (now Attorney General) the
|Governor, and Senator Downs, one would
naturally suppose that the democratic
party of Louisiana were pretty generally
i'm favor Of the Compromise. It looks SO,
