LA GRANGE, Teras.--The Monument says
ola Grange is surrounded by a rich, and beau
tiful aad healthy country; and when we take I'M
der consideration her central position in the
Statc-her delightful situation-her good So
ciety-her literary, moral and religious insti-
tutions-her pure atmosphere, her limpid wa
ters-her building and trading facilities there
is no town in the State, agreeably to our judg-
ment, that affords more or higher inducements
for location to the enterprising emigrant than
La Grange which is the seat of justice for the
large, rich, and populous county of Fayette.
And if our course be onward now, what will
it be when an arm of the great Canada and
Pacific railroad running along the rich valley
of the Colorado shall pass directly through the
town Of La Granger

UThe Paris correspondent of the New
York Express, devotes a large part of his let
ter to fulsome laudation of Lola Monies. He
says:
"What may be her success in the U. States,
l cannot predict; though | should think her
beauty which is still great, her fame, and her
admirable taste in dress, with her cleverness
in the style of dancing which she processes,
would insure her a favorable reception wher-
ever she goes"
The fame of a prostitute must be a potent
attraction in the refined circles of the United
States, if the predictions of the writer shnll
be fulfilled. He confesses, in another part of
his letter, that she is "banished from tho
greater part of her sisterhood, and finds what
consolation she can in the society open to her,"
and if this be the case in Paris, it ought to be-
doubly so everywhere else.-N. y. Times.

The. Late Fire in Plaquemine.

We are not called upon this week to re.
cord any further calamities to our town in the
shape Of fire and water. Certainly, within the
last year we have had our portion of suffering
in this respect. Of fire we are now warned to
be particularly careful. If the disaster last week
is thought to be the work Of an incendiary-
and we have good proof that it was-ou May
or and Aldermen should devise some good me-
thod of preventing the consummation of such
hellish designs for a limited period at least.
A patrol, we think, should be organised for the
protection of our town for a short time, and
every owner of a residence should be compelled
to have a certain quantity Of water, and requi-
site number of buckets, ladder, &c. This eau
ton would cost but little, while it would save
much. Respecting those who have suffered
we know that an universal feeling of sympathy
prevails in our community; and our citizens,
we are sure, are at all times ready and willing
to come forward to the relief Of those who
have lost their all by such sad catastrophes. In
an article in reference to the caving-in of the
bank, we alluded to the peculiar misfortune of
Mr.. 7. ORlLL1os-having lost his residence by
the landslide while his remaining house would

property in a quicker and more terrible
manner than the first was lost. It is an old
saying, that "misfortunes never come singly.n

AFFAIRS IN ~ENGLAND.-The papers are still
filled with the accounts of the Queens visit to
Manchester and Liverpool. Her Majesty reached
Windsor Castle on her return on the 18th inst.
Kossuth had not arrived yet, up to the evening
ofthe 18th inst, but he was hourly expected.
The flood of immigration to the United States
from Great Britain, and especially from Ireland,
was beginning to excite the most serious appre-
hension.
The Government demand for repayment of the
money advanced to the Irish Poor Commissioner
during the great famine in Ireland, is causing
much stir throughout the island, in some cases be-
ing met by downright reputation.

We would caution Wings and the friends OF
the Wing Platform, to 60 to the Polls as early as
possible. There is nothing like being in time
Do that which you are determined to do, as early
as the occasion offers: there is no knowing what
procrastination might effect. While you are well
and energetic at 10 o'clock on Monday morning,
you may have the rheumatism, or an appoplectic
fit, OF, worst than all, a brick in your hal, before
Pm. But, whether the votes of either party are
given early or late, we sincerely hope that no per-
sonal feeling will be exhibited sand that after we
have performed our duty as freemen and republic
cans, let the result be met in kindness of spirit,
whatever it may be-succumbing to the will of
the majority, and again returning to our various
vacations, satisfied with the silent but great revo-
luton created at the ballot box.

THE FRENCH M1S1srRY.-In Paris, on the 18th
inst, it was confidently stated that the President
had actually accepted the profered resignation of
the Ministry. The announcement was made more
startling by the further assurance that Monsieur
Emile Girardin would be a member of the new
Cabinet. These rumors caused a decline of one
half cen. in the funds.
The immediate cause of the resignation of the
French Cabinet was the proposition on the part
of Louis Napoleon to repeal the electoral law.

EDITORS Our OF LUcK.-The junior editor OF
the Baltimore Argus Dem.) was a candidate for
one of the City Councils at the late municipal
election in Baltimore, and defeated in a strong De-
mocratic ward. This would have been a nice
thing for the Wings to crow over, but the junior
editor of the Patriot (Whig) was a candidate in a
strong Wing ward, and also defeated, which makes
a good stand-of: Probably their readers were
afraid that if elected the editors would pay less at
tention to their paper, and voted to keep them
where they are most useful.

give much for his hide if Cash and his Dcpu-
ties got upon his track-they'd like it ANA
zingly. And lastly, the gentleman from
whom we obtained the above, as published in
the Viigilant, says that on the night of the fire,
about 3 o'clock, he saw a stranger well
mounted, going in 4 direction from the ruin
which he had probably created. We will have

a Demon,

We have been informed that the late fires
have occurred through a demon in the shape of
a man Gas the DonaldsonvilIe Vigilam relates)
who had but lately been released from the PEN
itentiary. Some eight or ten years age he
was convicted in Donaldsonyille for negro
stealing and it is said that he then swore that
when he was released, he would burn up that
town and lay waste the whole coast. After his
discharge, some two years ago, he Immediately
stole ahorse (for the better perhaps of making
hasty exits from his works of destruction) but
was apprehended, convicted and again sent to
the penitentiary for two years: his second
term expired a short time since. AS we un-
derstand, but a few days before these late
hresin this region, a man landed a raft of logs
I'VE believe in the parish of Ascension-and
inquiring for the owner of the plantation oppo-
site, offered and sold them toahim for much
below their value. He then requested the
planter, as he had a fat.boat to land there in a
short time, to walk with him up the leyee. and
assist him to select a good landing place, but
this the gentleman refused to do, after repeat
ed solicitation, as he had other matters to at
tend to. The seller of logs then departed,
when one of the planters negroes, after he had
gone, came to him and said: "Why, master.
the man who wanted to steal me some
years ago."
Our informant states that this man, from de-
scription has been seen a short distance from
this place, armed to the teeth, who acknowled-
ged to aperson where he procured something
to eat that" two Sheriff were after him." and

CUBAN PRISONERS IN ,SpAlN.-The frigate Ha-

northwestern coast of Spain, bringing one hundred
and six of the prisoners taken in the Lopez expe-

and the Isabel la Catolica with sixty more. The
widow of Gen. Emma and Mr.. Laborde, the late
Spanish Consul at New Orleans, also arrived at
Bejo. Thereon: the Queen of Spain summoned
the Cortes to meet as promptly as possible.

o. Speaking Of the Maryland system Of
printing, the New York Spirit Of the Times, in
very high authority says: 1--WE are convinced
that percussion caps hare had their day. Think,
oh We lovers of the sport, of having a gun that
primes itself with perfect certainty and safely
under all circumstances. No more good
shooting lost on account Of stiff fingers, damp
powder, or bad caps; no more putting out Of
eyes, by flying copper: in fine, are disposed
to say, no more difficulty at all with the very
thing hitherto the most difficult"

Mrs. P%artington, who took several pinches Of
snuff before she gave her opinion. "My idee
about it is" said the old lady, and there was an
expression as profound as could be worn by tho
whole faculty of Harvard College: "my idee
about it is, that one or t'other of EN- must get
