- We find this notice in the Louisiana
Courier. 1t seems as though Mr.. soULE would
be sustained in his manly course, even in the
Southern stronghold of Submission:
HONORABLE PIERRE SoULE.-The correspond
ence between Messrs. Larue, Noise and Others
and the Honorable Pierre Soule has already pro-
duced its natural effect among the Democratic
masses Of this city, 1t has called forth from the
unterrified Democracy warm approval OF the
action of our distinguished senator Whatever
be the motive that dictated the note the gentle
men above named addressed to Mr.. Soule-
whether it was pure and patriotic, or selfish and
vindictivc-it was obvious, from the beginning
that it was not calculated to strengthen the Demo-
cratic party, or promote our future triumphs in
Louisiana 1t has made more political capital
for the Wings than any thing that has occurred
for wears, and its authors must blame themselves
if the masses no longer uOnhdo in the sngacity,
or be governed by their counsels.
If the object was personal, and to PROSTATE
Mr.. Soule, it has signally failed. The people
always sympathise with bold and faithful pub,
lie servant, when they see him singled for I'M
merited assault. in the present instance the
impression gains ground-it has. in fact, fasten-
ed itself in the public mind, that, though the
VI VIC oShShe5 WV S'D"eo WV Ivy
to Mr. Soule, were influenced by good motives,
two or three most active in getting 1t up had in
view their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, more than the
welfare of the party. And this is what the De-
mocratc masses here, and throughout the State,
intend to condemn. They will not suffer the
party to be distracted, and its prospects put in
jeopardy, to crafty the ambition or tho revenge
of iunto Of politicians in the city of New Ur-
leans. Nor will they look on with Indifference
when men claiming to be Democrats, and ever
greedy to grasp the hopors and emoluments OF
the party, invoke every Wing Journal in this
city, and journals that mask their whiggery under
the vizor of neutrality 10 break dowa Democratic
senator They will sustain their senator, and
discard the men that assal him. Gentlemen
must remember that they are but Individuals
and that Democracy tolerates no dictaton and
no injustice. s~...
Tomorrow we shall publish letter spontan-
eously addressed to Mr.. Soule by the Democrats
of New Orleans and Lafayette, warmly approx
ing his course and signed by some eight hundred
Democratic voters.

A DIFFICULTY ExPEcTED.-Thc Vcksburg
WING SAYS :-Senator Davis spoke at Iazoo
CITY few days since, and was replied to 10y
Hon. Walker Brooke, of Holmes. The latter
gentleman, we understand, spoke of the shifting
Of disunion responsibility from South Carolina
to Mississippi and Georgia in such terms as to
awaken the ire of Judge Wilkinson, who re-
Gently wrote letter stating that the secession
lists Of Mississippi intended waiting the action Of
the Georgia Convention. The Judge, we are in

it is thought will occasion serions personal
difficulty between them.
In Columbus, Georgia, also, the other day,
public meeting came near terminating in bloody
brawl pistols and knives being drawn-and
q public discussion there was wisely abandoned,
ON the ground of the danger of collision be-
tween the excited adversaries. In the North
there is also outrage and violence, but ii is not
AGAINST Northera nlcn-they may wage war
of words. but hostile actions are reserved for
the Southern emissaries, seeking to put in force
the dead letter Of the Fugitive law.
How long will this insane folly actuate South
ern men 10 submit to everything proposed by the
North, while ready TO resist even to the shedding
of blood, the counsels Of their own brethren
How long will the Southern House be divided
against itself, while the storm RACES without,

The reception of Mr. George Thompson, by
the people of Boston, establishes, we think, two
facts-First, that the American people will toll
crate no English interference in their domestic
concerns. Second, that no matter how a few
fanatics may rave and buster, the heart Of the
country is sound, and determined to stand by
the Constitution and the Union. After this
demonstration, we should like to know if the
Express will repeat its assertion that the people
of the North are "Nullifiers in spirit and in
fact 2"
So says the New York Sun. The paragraph
was unfortunately written one day too soon
wide the proceedings at the second meeting)
The "two facts" so confidently predicated on
the reception of Thompson, fall to the ground
with the demolition of their foundation

The March OF Mainland Of Woman.

The Albany Argus thus chronicles the triumph
of new ism in the State of crotchets:
Woman-isn,, is one of the new isms in Mas
sachusetts which is to receive this year its first
official recognition in the Legislature. So says
a Boston paper:
"THE FOURTH CANDIDATE.--We have heard
it asked who is the fourth of the four candidates
for Governor from whom the House Of Repre-
sentatves must send up two names to the Sem
ate? From our returns it appears that Dir.
Francis Cogswell, known as the 'woman's can
didate,' is probably the fourth candidate. He
received about thirty votes in various parts of
the State
Mann-ism had before wrggled itself into some
notoriety. For beginning, woman-ism has
done very well.

It Chokes some Of them.

Several Of the Texas papers are out in strong
terms against the ten million speculation. They
can't swallow it, though the people will. The
State Gazette says:
"If it COMFORTS vi 18th the honor Of Texas to
submit to these conditions, in view of the cir
cumstances under which they are presented, or
with her interests and safety, in view of the
boundary prescribed, we can only say that we
have most egregiously mistaken her rights and
dignity as n sovereign State of the Union, and
her solemn duty to herself"

MoEMoNs.-1'he ship North Atlantic arrived
at New Orleans from Liverpool on the 3lst ult.,
with 1872 Mormons under the supervision or
presidency of Elder David Ludworth On the

Sutana, and arrived Mt our wharf on Saturday

Ex-Governor Richardson, with Mai. John Cantey,

Gov. Richardson introduced Mr.. Woodward

Thronged AS was our Courthouse on this

sells, were displayed by the entire assemblage

Massachusetts radicalism thus rejoices over
the triumph of the cause in New York:

it is one of the most gratifying. He alone of

MORE SUBMISSION THUNDER.-The Georgia
submission papers are making considerable noise
over letter received from President Fillmore,
OF which We find the following account in a
despatch from Macon to the Augusta Sentinel
MACON, Nov. IA.
"A long letter has been received by DR..
Robert Collins, of this city from President Fill
more, in which he says the Fugitive slave law
shall be executed to the letter. and if neces-
sary, all the forces at his disposal shall be used
for that purpose. If officers fail to do their
duty, says the President they shall be dismissed
and held liable for damages"
"The letter is entirely satisfactory and will be
Immediately published in an extra" .....
or course, every one will understand that the
object of this boosted letter from President
Fillmore is to aid his political friends in the
pending election for delegates to the State
Convention. He pledges the Army and Navy
forsoOh for the execution of the Fugitive law
and what is that but an admission that the
people or the North are everywhere up in arms
against it? Such is VIGOROUSLY the fact, and in
spite of these pompous pledges, no fugitives are
restored and no Southern man crosses Mason
and Dixon's line to recover his property, with
out the certainty of being mobbed, and the
hazard of being killed The Federal Govern
ment is not only poweress in executing the
laws of the United States against the sentiment
of the Northern people, but it is absolutely con-
temptlble in the shutiling pretences of doing so
with which it is now attempting to amuse the
Snuth

From lhe Natchez Free Trader.

The Courier says that the Fugitive slave law
will not be repealed next session.
So we think. 1t is already repealed by popular
determination it is insufficient, and dead letter
We said, before it passed, that every one who
knew the character of our Government must know
that no law could be enforced amongst a people
who were strongly opposed TO it. But the law
will not be repealed next session, because it is too
good subject for agitation and must remain to
control the next Presidential election.
Antl-savery agitation now runs higher at the
North than it has done before. We need not
expect it to cease, so long we pay the mines of
California and millions of territory to keepit alive
We cannot buy an hours peace, and those who
hold out otherwise are fools or traitors.

K ELSEY'S Alternating Bee Hive, patented AA May 9th, lS46. These Hives, the only ones of real value and utility to farmers and oth- CTS engaged in the culture of Bees now before the public, are constructed upon natural princi- ples, and combine the following advantages The bees are easily hived in them; it never becomes necessary to kill off the swarms, and honey can at all times be taken away without disturbing the bees; the sWarms are entirely pro- tected from robbery by neighboring bees, and from mice and insects; they can be handled with perfect safety, and always living and breeding in new honey combs, are kept entirely healthy, and young swarms are always fully developed; the eggs or embryo of the bee-moth or miller, lcannot hatch or mature around these hives, therefore the bees are entirely protected from the ravages of that destructive enemy, while the alternating principle is such that the bees lare kept industrious the whole season though, |by always having plenty of room to work in; lold honey comb cannotaccumulate, nor will the bees "run out' or "die off" in these hives They have been fully tested by actual use by Upwards of five thousand extensive bee cultur- lists.
 This patent gained diploma from the Mary land State Agricultural Society, held at Balti- more 10th, 1 lth and l2th of October, lS49. Ample directions accompany each hive, giv- ing full instructions for the management olbees They are sold very cheap; and all farmers and |other persons who keep bees, or wish to enter into that profitable culture, will find these hives |all that can be desired.
 The subscriber as attorney and agent for he patentee for the State of Arkansas, is now in Helena, and ready to grant individual rights, or to sell counties, townships or districts, to parties |desrous of engaging in lucrative and pleasant 
 According to an interesting calculation by a bee culhrist, which is given in full in the trca- tise accompanying this hive, he proves how, in about ten years, any bee culturist may be worth nearly $3s,oOO, simply by the sale of the honey, and swarms.
 The price of an individual right to make use oft this patent hive is $5.

 Be Gentle with thy Wife. Be gentle! for ye little know How many trials rise; Although to thee they may be small, To her of giant size. Be gentle! though perchance that lip May speak a murmering tone, The heart may beat with kindness yet, And joy to be thine own. Be gentle! weary hours of pain, Iris woman's lot to bear; Then yield her what support thou canst, And all her sorrows share. Be gentle! for the noblest hearts At times may know some grief, And even in a pettish word, May seek to find relief. Be gentle! for unkindness now May rouse an angry storm, That all the after years of life In vain may strive to calm. Be gentle! none are perfect-- Thou art dearer far than life, Then, husband, bear, and still forbear-- Be gentle 10 thy WIFE!
