Ey Such weather as we have had

Ne Such weather as we have had
in this locality for the past week, has
positively been unfit for any purpose.
We have no sun--no moon, and the
very stars themselves twinkle in the
mist and fog Of midnight, as though 1t
were an effort. The Comet,Ewhose
appearance we chronicled last week,
when he found what our atmosphere
was made Of, left in disgust and has
not since been heard Of. The clouds
that gather over us, threaten to pour
down, but seemingly cannot muster
the courage to do so; a grizzle or
drizzle is all that can be made out Of
them. The leaves of the trees are
neither crisp or scar and yellow, but
dangle like spectres to the boughs.--
Every thing bears a ghastly appear
ance, like the grey dawn that heralds
the approach Of day: but it is not So
1t is the evening of day that will
long be remembered in sorrow by our
weeping State.
The generous and noble "Cresceut"
has had to bear the cross of sorrow
and affection this year. May she
speedily throw off the weeds of wo, and
prepare for the morning of new year,
in which shall never be again written
the scourge Of pestilence.
The country looks, for the foot prints
of the old tyrant with his sythe, when
he has feasted upon the city-and as
he travels, his course is marked as the
Wandering Jew. People feel that they
must be visited--that the family hearth
must be robed of one or more of its
Jewels-and people get sick through
sympathy.
Since every rumor has a thousand
and gathers substance out of
it affords us pleasure TO be
able to place before our absent citizens
the following resolution, in reference
to the health of our own little city,
As far as in our power to make it So
the statement shall be true and our
citizens may rely upon its correctness
Resolred, That the Board of Sc !
|ectmen of the city of Baton Rouge be
constituted a board of Health during
the prevalence of the epidemic in this
State, and that Secretary to the board
be appointed, to furnish for publica-
ton, daily, a correct statement of the
number of deaths occurring within the
limits of this Corporation--the names
Of persons dieing, together with the
cause of death, when it can be arrived
at. VIM. p. Coke, Esq, was appoint
I'd Secretary to the Board, and the

Comet.

ET The Democrat, published at
Shreveport brings us another account
ofmurder. The thirst for blood, seems
to be the only epidemic on Red River
at this season. Scarcely paper
comes from that quarter, that it does
not bring with it the record of some
new outrage, on society, that outequals
the last. On Monday night last, some
midnight assassin, went to the resi-
dendce of Mrs. Alexander, and mur-
dered Mr.. j. M. Hunter, overseer
on the plantation by shooting him
in his bed, whilst asleep. The Demo
crat says:
"The assassin must have been very
near his victim as the musketoe bar
was scorched by the wadding from
the gun, which was found in the bed
and which was taken from Boston or
Philadelphia paper No clue Of the
awful deed has yet been obtained.

The PUBLIC School SYSTEM

The PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
Though this be bad season to pre-.
sent any subject to the public mind
in default Of better, we would like to
see our contemporaries take up the
present Public School system Of this
State, and point out its miserable in
efcienciss and palpable defects. 1t is
an outrage that the people should be
taxed to support a system productive
ofno good whatever, and SO incom-
prehensible-absurd and contradicto-
ry, that it remains a dead letter in
many Of the Parishes.
An act to re-organize Free Public
Schools in Louisiana past at the last
immortal session Of the Legislature of
Three Hundred acts" is, if there be
any degrees of Absurdity-the most
absurd document Of the same num-
Der Of words that ever was fabricated
by thel concentrated intelligence, Of
any half dozen Legislators that ever
went into committee of the whole.
Look at it.--Study it-and make any
thing out Of it but chaos. And yet
the document has the effrontry to tell
US on the title page that is to "re-or-
ganize."
We hope to the Lord, that the next
session will have intelligence enough
to give us a good practical working
system of education, for after "rail-
roads" and rag money banks, there is
nothing of more importance to our
welfare and prosperity. If we do not
feed the lamp Of intelligence, it will
60 out, and hopeless state of dark
ness will fallow, in which no mans
life is secure for moment. 1t is, 1--WE
regret to say mere taper now-and
when we look into the country and
find "forked radishes" representing
the sovereignty Of the State, unable
either to read or write, we exclaim in
voluntarily, Alas! Alas and has it
come this to pass9 Shall the race fall
back into the darkness of ignorance,
and barbarism9 And this too, before
the ashes of past intelligence has been
consigned to the urn? Indeed it seems
SO. Leave the Mississippi river, and
travel into the country, and see the
miserable drunken buildings the peo-
pie live mask them questions, and
find out Of what stuff they are made.
Find one spark more of ambition in
them, than to know how to fire a guu,
and get under shelter when it rains.
Find more than this, and we will never
say more. In winding up our solilo-
cry, ask the question. Is this the
material for Republican Government?
Il is to ycur interest to make these en-
quiries, and see that such men repre-
sent you in the next Legislature as
will give moments thought to Pub
lic Education.

NIt is not uncommon to meet
with some such advertisement in the
papers as this /: "PARrNER WANTED
A good practical business partner
wanted, with cash capital of from
$4,000 to $4,000.
1t seems strange that such want
should be made known through the
columns ola newspaper. Is it ever
answered.? No we believe not. The
General Intelligence office does not
get a fee for such information. 1t is
treated very much like the following
bit of intelligence. "Agents wanted
all over the United States and the
Canada's to sell DR.. Kilgrew's Vege-
table Pills. An industrious, sober.
steady young man, with cash cap
ital of $500 can make from one to
two thousand dollars per annum."
This is very valuable information to
the industrious steady young man, but
the advertisement stands unanswered,
from one years end to the other, and
is standing notice ofthe dishonesty

STYLE OF LADIES Dress AT SARA
roeA.-A correspondent Of me N. Y.
Times, writes from Saratoga as follows !:
A very free and easy style prevails
among the ladies' in the matter of
dress here this season. Bonnets, in
the street, are almost wholly discard
ed; and in all their arrangements as
to costume, comfort seems to have
been consulted much more than fash
ion. This is an improvement on the
starch and frill system, which has been
often too prevalent, when lady could
not venture upon drink from Con-
gress Spring except in full evening
dress.

fifty-two sinaples, and all the balance
of him is gas. he is barometer Tier.
