The Raft Contract,

A few weeks SINCE we suggested to the
Planters above the raft who felt an interest
in the removal of the obstruction to the
navigation of Red river, the propriety of
organizing company, among themselves, for
the purpose of bidding for the contract ad-
vertised in our columns, to be let ON the
20th day September, next. Several gen.
temen have since spoken to US in regard to
the suggestion, and expressed a desire to see
it carried into effect, for which purpose,
they have left their names with us, pledging
themselves to constitute part of the COM
pany, and requesting that we would again
call attention to the matter, and solicit the
names of others. Those who feel an inter-
est in this important work. and desire to be-
como members of the proposed company,
are therefore respectfully requested to for
ward US their names as early as possible. in
order that the company may be fully organ
lied in time for their proposal to reach Wash
ington City previous to the Goth of Septem-
ber Should a sufficient number of names
be obtained to form a company of ten or
fifteen persons, a meeting will be immediate
ly appointed, of which, they will be duly
notified. -Four or five responsible gentle
men have already expressed willingness
to enter into the matter Those who desire
10 become members should act promptly, as
there is no time to lose.

swamp Land Contracts.

More than ordinary interest was mani
tested upon the subject of the reclamation
of the swamp and overfowed lands on Red
River, at the letting out of the contracts by
Col. REARDoN, on Monday last Although
the attendance was not as general as was an
ticipated, owing probably to the short no.
tice given, number of our planters were
present, and evinced an awakened feeling
in the speedy accomplishment of this i'm
portant work. Several contracts were tax
en- for shortening the river by cut-off's and
constructing levees, which Will, doubtless.
be prosecuted without delay. Col. REAR
DON, we are gratifed TO learn, will remain
here several days for the purpose Of letting
out the remaining contracts, and we trust,
that others who feel an interest in the work,
will avail themselves of the opportunity thus
afforded, of engaging extensively in this prof
liable system of improvement.
Work of a similar character having prov
ed,proftable at other places, we can see no
good reason why it should not prove equal
ly SO upon Red riyer,-and we earnestly
hope that our enterprising citizens will not
permit themselves to be overslauched by
the capital of Eastern contractors when the
means of completing contracts so lucrative,
to the fullest extent required for Red river,
are so abundantly at our command. The
proposition that every engagement of the
kind must yield handsomely is no chimera
1t ceases to become matter of doubt when
we look to the Mississippi and Arkansas riv-
ers, where such works have been entered in
to most extensively, and where every con-
tractor has amassed money in proportion 10
the labor performed.
Mr.. McSHEEuY, the State Engineer
leaves to-day, for the purpose of laying off
the levees and cut-off's where contracts have
already been taken, and will continue the
work until the whole line is completed

CoNsTTTUTloNALITY OF THE FUGITIVE
SLAVE LAw.-Thc Supreme Court of the
State Of New York has recently affirmed
the constitutionality of the fugitive slave
law, in case which originated in the "Jer-
ry Rescue affair of October, 1851. An ac-
tion of assault and battery was brought
against some of the assistants of the United
States Marshal for force used on that occa-
sion. They urged in their defence the war
rant issued under the fugitive slave law
At a trial in an inferior court the defence
was held good and the plaintiff was non
suited he appealed to the Supreme Court,
where, after argument, the former decision
was adhered to-

Favorable Sign.

A rather favorable indication has just fall
len under our observation, from which we
are induced to form higher expectations OF
the conduct of the President and his Cabi-
net than we had previously entertained
The New York Sun is dissatisfied with the
Administration The Sun has no political
position or character to attract attention TO
its course. nor is it conducted with such de-
gree of ability or tao. as to give consequence
to its views but then it is understood to be
the mouth-piece of set of malcontents, VINO
are perpetually striving to embroli the United
States with foreign nations. 1t Is half IRAN
tic about Cuba, and affects exclusive INFORM
alton concerning the designs of all the filll-
busters in the country 1t assumes to be
more progressive than Young America him.
self. and denounces as lacking in patriotism
every man or measure that is not defiant or
aggressive towards England and Spain
The Sun has all along pretended to know
that President Pierce sympathized IN ITS
ultra views, but at last it has become dlssat-
islied and its disgust and Indignation are thus
expressed:
Nationally the Administration is fast
falling under suspicious of imbeclity. The
fishery question which Mr. Everett was
prosecuting with zeal to favorable conclu-
sion may lingcr on. aud become legacy to
the next administration. In the mean time
England and the Colonies line the fishing
grounds with armed vessels; and the fishing
season is partly over before the Cabinet at
Washington can take any steps to show that
it will protect American rights. 1t listens
to the professions Of the British Minister !;
and while his Government is backing up its
pretensions by an imposing naval force 1t

That BAEBECUE.-We visited Fulton
on Wednesday last, partly to lear the ad-
dresses Of Messrs. HUEY and STIrH On the
subject of Railroads-partly to see the sev-
erelgns of that vicinity, and partly to par
take of an excellent barbecue prepared by
the citizens of that place, to which we were
invited. We intended noticing the speech
es at some length, but our correspondent
"TITUs" has saved US that trouble and
to his communication we refer our readers.
The people looked remarkably well, partic-
ularly the JaiTer portion,-of whom goodly
number were in attendance, and all appear.
cd to be in excellent spirits and humor,
which, to some extent, was most probably
attributable to the excellence OF the barbecue.
Every body appeared satisfied with every
body, and all enjoyed the rich viands with
which the table groaned, with remarkable
degree of complacency. Upon the whole
1t was one of the best gotten up affairs we
have ever attended.
