NIGHT SCHOOL. LIST Monday Messrs.
Runcie and Pierse opened night school at
the Engine house on Vine street. There
are many young men and boys in this city,
who are unable TO attend to the Improvement
of their minds BY seeking instruction during
the day. To such this school offers strong
inducements. The teachers we believe 10
be entirely competent, and they will devote
strict attention to their business. The price,
80 cents per week, is mere trifle. TO so i'm
portant consideration as improving the
mind. We hope many Of our young men
and lads will be induced TO try this school.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-We learn from the
Vicksburg Wing that on Monday evening
the 2Sth ult., Mr. James Boyken, planter
living near Brownsville. in Kinds county.
was murdered by two of his negroes. Mr..
b. was sitting by the fire in his room, about 9
o'clock in the evening, when two negroes en-
tered killed him with an axe and placed his
head in the fire so as to destroy the traces Of
violence. On inquiry by some relatives Of
the deceased, revelations were made by a
servant girl which led TO the detection of the
murderers. The axe with which the deed
was committed was found in creek near at
hand. The negroes, after being carefully ex-
amined by three brothers and several neigh
bors of the murdered gentleman, were dealt
with lii summary manner. II Is thought
that much severity was used in their punish
ment. The Wing rather il.sinua.es that
burning VIA resorted to.

BIG HAuL.-Marshal Gavitt pounced down
on bawdy house in the..upper part of town
night before last, where a number of young
men were dancing, singing and kicking up a
general muss. After resistance on the part
of some, and flight on the part Of others, he
hauled up thirteen to the Mayors Office, who
were bound over TO appear yesterday after
noon. The Marshal showed himself ready
for the occasion, and acted with spirit and en-
ergy, as may be conceived from the number
he brought to trial.

The CRors.-The ST. Francisville Chron-

The extremely dry weather has injured the
cattle very much and the rain OIL Thursday
will be of but little benefit. Many of our
planters have commenced grinding, and the
sugar made is of very Cue quality.
The Baton Rouge Advocate of the 3lst
says:
The late heavy fros's in this vicinity have,
we are informed by planters from the country,
created serious apprehensions for the safely
of the cane crop. The leaves have been
killed, thus depriving the body OF great
protection, and rendering it more liable 10

the appearance Of another heavy frost would

planters have not commenccd taking of their

has the following:
The weather for the last few weeks has
been quite uniavorable for both the cotton and

The Natchloch,s Chronicle Of. the Goth
says:
The extreme drought that has prevailed
so long has been very preiudicial TO the crops

BACHELORS COMPLAINT.

Returning home at close of day
Who gently chiles my long delay,
And by my side delights to stay?
No body.
Who sets for me the easy chair,
Sets out the room with neatest care,
And leaves my slippers ready there
No hody.
Who regulates the cheerful fire
And piles the blazing fuel higher,
And bids me draw my chair slill higher
10 body.
When plunged in dire and deep distress,
And anxious cares my heart Cypress,
Who whispers hopes Of happiness
No body.
When anxious thoughts within me rise,
In sore dismay my spirit dies,
Who sooihes ms with her kind replies2
No body.
When sickness racks my feeble frame,
And grief distracts my ievered brain,
Who sylnpaihizes with my pain2
No body.
Then I'll resolve. SO help me fate,
To change at once the single state,
And will TO Hymen'S alter take
Somebody.

Mr.. Soule, Democratic Senator from Lou
isiana, is in a terrible muss with his own par
ty. His speeches in Congress, &C., have
gwen better grounds than mere suspicion for
believing him rank disunionist. He nor his
friends will admit OF deny the fact. The
Democrats, at least some of them, are de-
termined to ferret out the matter. He has
been addressed by his own personal friends Oh
the subject, but treated them in such man.
ner, that they left him with pity and disgust.
In answer to very polite letter, signed by
about eighty Democrats, many Of whom were
influential men, said letter containing several
iuterrogatories, he makes the following con-
temptuous answer. The questions asked
him merely related to his opinions about dis
solution:
New ORLEANS, Oct. 80, 1850.
Gentlemen II acknowledge the receipt of
communication which you caused To be
placed in my hands on yesterday, and which,
lind, is the same which has been hawked
about the streets oil New Orleans for six
entire days, that it might obtain the endorse
ulent Vi tic seventy HdiiicS uhiACU W IL.
Here is my answer:
Whenever the grave matters SO fiippantly
alluded to in that paper, shall come before me
in the only shape that Can reach my official
responsibilities to the State and people OF
Louisiana. depend uponit, they viii be met
with a sririt not unworthy Of the high station
which occupy, and of the duties which |
owe to the great interests confded to MY pro-
lection and guardianship. But as can re-
gard you neither as the organs of that people
and State, nor indeed as the echoes of the par
ty 10 which you say you belong, as ask mel
Their your applause nor your support you will
pardon me for taking no other notice Of the
queries which you have propounded TO me,
Than by assuring you that am not TO be
moved out Of that propriety which becomes a
public man, and above all, an American Sen
ator, by the tricks of five or six dsorganizers
who for some time past have been moving
every rubbish they could lay their feet upon,
10 kick it at me and who can have no object
but TO distract and divide the democratic par
ty, that they may build 10 themselves upon
its ruin, an Importance which they know bu,
too well they cannot secure DIS long as il stands
by its principles and remains united.
| Yours respectfully,
PIERRE SOULE.
