MURDER IN EAST BATON RoUGE.-The Bal
ton Rouge Democratic Advocate, of the 9th
instant, says:
Thomas Muse, highly respected and csti-
mable resident of the Plains, in this parish,
was, on Saturday night last, waylaid and shot
dead, while riding alone in his buggy. judy
ing from appearances, there We're at least two
persons engaged III the bloody business.
Mr. Muses. right shoulder was horribly man
gled by a charge Of buckshot, and his right
arm broken by the same discharge. HIS right
side was also pierced with shot, which went
completely through the heart, and was un-
doubtedlyt the fatal wound. He was also sho.
with Il bullet in the back. From all indica-
tons he was murdered in a most dastardly and
cruel manner
The first intimation of anything wrong was
the finding of his buggy and horse, by one of
his ne,ghbors. His l~iteless body was soon af-
ter found by the wayside, mangled and bloody.
Circumstances indicate that he was attacked
by more than one person, and that he was
fired at from behind a tree or brush heap.

THE BAYou.-We conceive 1t to be the inn
perative duty Of. the corporation authorities t o
devise some means to prevent the Bayou from
making such inroad upon our town, as it has
done for the last two years in the vicinity Of
Mrs. LErTw1cH's residence. A break-water
constructed some distance above, that the eur
rent might be thrown On the opposite bank,
woulddoubtless effectthis desirable end. We
arc aware that the authorities in viewing this
matter, will be much inclined to think such
work more ola private than a public character.
1t is doubtless, the fact-but nevertheless,
calls equally strong for public aid. Indeed,
in our estimation, the beautiful residence and
garden of Mrs. LErTwIcH should be preserved
even as an o~rnanontsto' our town-and what
ever aid advanced to preserve her property
from the cncroachihent of the Bayou, should be
done in that spirit and with that intention.

Der, Daniel Webster delivered the Second Cen
tennial Grafton at Plymouth, III which, with

ed him rs a far-seeing statesman, he said: sIt
may be safe y asserted that there are now more
than a million Of people, descendants Of New
England ancestry, living free and happy in
regions which hardly sixty years ago were
tracts of unprecedented forest. Nor do rivers,
Or mountains, Or seas, resist the progress OF in
dustry or enterprize. Ere long, the sons of the
Pilgrims viii be on the shores of the Pacific"
The sons Of the Pilgrims are on the shores of
the Pacific already. They are there with their
bretheren of other States, and there they have
founded an American colony, created IN Amer
can form of government, established IN Anieri-
can State, and, under the stars and stripes Of
the Republic, they are represented in the Amer

NEGRO STEALERs.-The Baton Rouge Ad-
vocate says that considerable excitement was
caused in Baton Rouge, 4 few days ago, by the
arrest oftwo scamps, who were caught i'll the
act of e~nticing away slaves. 1t seems that
they had been in the town some little time, and
had been busily engaged in the prosecution Of
their nefarious plans, and had tempered with
the negroes extensively, They were at length
caught in the act ofleaying with two malatto
women in company, belonging 10 Dir. Miussel-
man. They had made arrangement with the
so!ored ladies', and We're on the bank awaiting
tho arrival of the. steamer when they were
caught by the police. The evidence against
one of them, Ephraim Davenport, was consid-
cred sufficient to warrant his committal TO the
parish Jail, the other Joseph Forester, was
discharged.
