NEw Plan FOR PLANE RoADs.-Mr T Geu-
use OF New York has applied for patent for
constructing plank roads. What he principally
claims as Improvements are, LIST, the arch form
which he gives to the road; IDLY, he places his
slecpers across instead OF lengthwise OF the
road; lily, his planks arc sawed in strips, and
IaiI edgcwise; 4thly, they are spiked together
The arch form OF the road enables the water to
pass of freely from the surface, and the position
OF the sleepers does not dam up the water I'M
derneath the plank. Mr.. g. admits his plan will
add some 5000 (per mile We supposa,) to the
cost Of constructions; bat he insists that the road
will last twice as long, and not cost one quarter
a. much to keep il in repair

Nightingale put her head out OF the window,
| and said, with much excitement, "4ou must
stop; l will not allow you to strike the people;
they are all my friends, and have come to see
me.' This sentiment was received with a
| deafening cheer, and the crowd made way
themselves, influenced by the soft, persuasive
accents Of the Swedish philomel.
An immense gathering soon collected at the
corner of Chambers street and Broadway, in
the hope of seeing her at one of the windows;
and every minute or two, as some OF the la
dies of the Irving House came to the windows
| to look out, they were mistaken by some one
in the crowd for Jenny, when a cheer was raised,
which was as quickly suppressed by the better
discernment of the majority, with a laugh at
the EXPENSE of the deceived. At length she
| made her appearance at one of the windows,
| when a unanimous cheer, loud and long, greet
ed her, and an electric enthusiasm stirred the
entire multitude. She acknowledged the
heartfelt welcome by repeatedly bowling to the
people with a most fascinating grace, and then
withdrew-the crowd, however, lid not dis
perse. but continued around the hotel all the
evening.
The suite Of apartments prepared for the
Nightingale are truly magnificent, being fur
pished in the highest style of art. The gor-
geous sitting room is fit for a Queen, and off it
is a splendid bedroom, to which is attached an
elegant bathroom with bathing apparatus.
During the evening, she had to come OCCASION
ally to the window, to crafty the people, when
she waved her handkerchief, in token of her
acknowledgement of their enthusiastic ardor.
The passage leading to the entrance to her
apartments We're constantly crowded. She
seemed greatly pleased with the negro SER
wants: they looked so neat and happy, and so
different from the miserable objects she had ex-
pected to see. The flag Of Sweden and Nor
way foated from the flagstaff Of the Irving
House all the evening.
Jenny Lind is tWenty-nne years of age, but
does not look more than twenty-five. She is
not what many persons would regard as a
beautiful woman: but she possesses a beauty
vastly superior to mere symmetry of features
a soul beams in her face, lighted up from the
bright intelligence within, especially when she
is excited or speaks. Her large soft eyes are
of a beautiful blue color Her whole coun-
tenance is highly inteItectuaA but what strikes
the spectator most is the lofty and dignitied be-
nevolence that shines from every feature. Her
cast of countenance is oblong, and larger than
most women of hep height, which is of the
middle size. She has a fine bust, such as all
first class singers possess. Her hair is 4 light
brown, and her complexion is blonde.
None ofthe portraits of her we have seen do
her justice, because no portrait can convey her
fine expression.

pale, but did not bctray the slightest weakness,
ard even conversed with Mr.. Putnam while his
death warrant was being read.
This being over, his legs were pinioned, the
rope put on his neck and black cap in hishand,
when the Sheriff announced, in a clear and dis
tinct voice, that the murderer of Dr.. Parkman
was about to be executed. This caused a slight
trembling in the prisoner, but it was soon over,
as the fatal cord was cut and his body swinging
in the air.
There were but few emotions perceptible, and
he appeared to die perfectly easy. After re-
naming for half an hour he was taken down,
and his body placed in coffin, to be removed to
Cambridge, where the funeral will take place
tomorrow Saturday. Thus ends this dreadful
tragedy. ANTELOPE.

Mr.. SouLEE-Opinions Of the Press-It
cannot be denied that this gentleman's course
in the United States Senate--his rabid denun-
citation of conciliatory measures-is universally
condemned throughout this StatesssWe have.
as yet seen but one or two papenn have at
tempted to yindicate his course, and7then in a
manner that gave the reader an idea that the
effort was a painful one to perform. The fol-
lowing paragraphs, we are assured, speak the
general feeling:
aLet us, as L~ouisianians, guard, in future,
against e!eyating to places of distinction such
men as Soulee. His socialism drove him from
his own country, and he has taken up but q
temporary abode among US. He has none Of
those aspirations which prompt the patriot.
His heart beats not in unison with the glorious
principles Of our government. He il q dema-
gogue Of the FIRST water.-N. Francisuile,
East F~eliciana) Chronicle.
aWe regret that Mr.. Soulee has chosen to
adopt the course he has. Byjoining with 9TH
ers In stalking the Union as it were, upon sthe
hazard of q de- he has, knowingly and will
fully, we believe, opposed the wishes Of the
people Of Louisiana, whose devotion to the
Union is surpassed by the people Of no Sec
ton Of the country. Mr.. Soulee is a visionary
man, and Is not capacitated for the important
aud exalted place of Senator Of the United
States."-Ahr0ndria Parish 3 Rapides1
Republican.

D1ED-In New Orleans after a brief illness
on the night of the 7th inst, Mr.. Eugene Brady,
Captain Of the steamboat E. D. White, aged
thirty-one years, a native of Baltimore, and for
the last seventeen years a resident of Bayou Sa-
ra, in this State. His remains We're conveyed
to West Feliciana for interment in that parish.
The deceased was endeared to a large circle Of
friends, by the integrity of his character, the
honorable tone of his feelings, and the suavity
of his manners.

A Letter from San Francisco.

We were favored by the last mail with a
letter from San Francisco, from a female ac-
quaintance, an old lady about 60 years of age,
who left New Orleans last December alone, in
in a vessel for California via Cape Horn, and
arrived there in July following. She went
there, like thousands Of others, with the inten-
ton Of lettering her fortune. We make the fol-
lowing extracts:
81 think very we'll of San Francisco-my
main objection being the cold northwest wind
that forever blows over the city. Even in sum-
mer here, it is as cold as the win.er in New
Orleans.
Many here are making very large fortunes
and in a short time. You probably remember
Sco--[we cannot make out the rest of the
NAME, who kept the Auction Mart in Camp
street. He came here some eighteen months,
or two years since, without a dollar; he is now
worth fifty thousand dollars.
Boarding in a private house is 1926 per week;
at the hotel it is SIS a day. The Bar Rooms
at the hotels are 1tled up maShlllcehliy. NEW
Orleans is nothing to them. The water pitch
ers and walters are all Of massive silver; the
stick q knew no other name for it, with which
they make their brandy smashers, we sincerely
hope the old lady speaks from hearsy are OF
pure gold, with a diamond set in the end.
This, probably, you will call a smasher, bnt it
is literally true. The Spanish ladies' attend the
gambling tables, and bet with the gentlemen
an old lady was seen by a friend of mine in
a public gambling room, betting at a table sur
rounded by men.
Provisions are very high. Potatoes S. per
bushel; butter 81 per pound; molasses $3.50
per gallon; chickens $30a dozen; wood $40 a
cord; washing S. a dozen; and segars only 25
cts. i piece.
