Once more to the Breach.

There never was time in the his
tory OF the temperance reformation,
when openness of purpose and union
OF effort was more needed than the
present. We have moved on steadily
and resolutely hitherto, and have
reached position which few years
since was denied the height of fanatic
ism to speak of. Politicians begin to
think that temperance men should be
respectfully treated, and that some con-
cessions might be very adyantageously
made to them. Editors Of papers who
used to consider temperance, ard
speak of it, as an impertinent inter.
ferance with the social enjoyment Of
gentlemen, now insist upon the ex-
tlnguishment of slow groggeries, and
corner groceries where rum is sold.
Members Of the legislature who used
to denounce the cause of temperance.
and openly desecrate the halls oflep-
isIation by their drunken orgies, are
now found missing when the question
OF sale is brought up for action, and
as public opinion is fast urging them
on another year may find them ad-
vocating the Maine Law. We say, then,
to the friends oftemperance, be united,
concentrate your power, relax no
effort, indulge no fearful doubts, and
our word for it, the good time coming
will be heresooner than the great
mass Of exPectants have dared to an
tlclPate.-- Greenfield { Ohio) Blade.

The Washington Sentinel--We learn that
this new paper made its appearance on the Oath
ult. We have not yet seen it. The Union, in
noticing it, says
The editors express full confidence in the
ability, integrity, and frmness of the President,
based upon his admirable inaugural, and upon
his decided and consistent career as politician.
Entertaining this confidence in the President,
they express their intention to give to his Ad.
ministration a hearty, but Independent support.
The Evening Star, of the oath, gives the
Sentinel the following notice:
The long promised Washington Sentinel
made it's appearance this morning. Typogra-
phically, it is exceedingly creditable, resembling
the late Republic newspaper. Messrs, VIM.
NJ. Overton and Chas. Maurice Smith, are an
nounced as the editors. Mr.. o. was long an
associate editor of the Union. He Yields a
powerful and polished pen indeed. Of Mr.
Smith we know nothing, though we take it for
granted that he is entirely competent to the
discharge ofthe onerous duties of a metropoli.
tan editor. Judging from its columns, we
should say that while the Sentinel will lose no
opportunity to say kind things of the President
personally, the policy of his Administration
will find little favor at its hands. 1t seems to
be attached to the seeding wing of the New
York democracy, and to be a devoted friend of
Young America. Its issue of to-day is a capi-
tai paper.

yer coin. The safe containing the coin is kept
in the custom-house, and is composed ofdouble
sheets Of iron, strengthened by crossbars or

teen feet long, eight wide, and about as many
feet high. 1t is divided into two apartments,
in the inner one of which the money is deposi-
ted; and it has three thick iron doors, each hav-
ing two locks, the keys to which are distributed
at night among the different clerks, the Assist
ant Treasurer keeping himself the register of
the principal key, so that safe cannot be un-
locked unless all are present. On the sides of
the safes are tiers of boxes, capable of holding
in all nine millions six hundred thousand dol
lars. They are now filled with coin, which is
put up in bags of five thousand dollars each,
except a few containing small amounts for con-
v%enience in making payment. The weight of
the ten millions Of gold now in custody is
eighteen and three quarter tons.

UThe following eloquent sentences occur
in the letter of Mr.. Thomas F. Meagher, which
he wrote to the Chairman of the "Ingraham
Testimonial" that came off in New York on the
evening of the 22d ult:
sit is now made known to all men--in Ian.
guage somewhat more ineligible and %conclu-
sive than that usually employed in European
diplomacy--that the armed messengers ofAme-
RIGA have a nobIer business to transact in foreign
ports, than royal houses and their Greek slaves
would seem to contemplate. The sword which
Perry stripped to the storm, on Lake Erie, was
inscribed with the Rights of Man." The
sword which lngraham wears is fashioned in
like manner; and his guns are prompt to give
utterance to those words. He has been true
to the law of nations, to humanity, to freedom.
He merits the thanks of the commonwealth,
and the crown of oak leaves, which in the days
of Roman worth, was awarded to him who had
saved the life of Roman citizen"

Our Relations Nth Merico.--The Wash.
ington Sentinel remarks: "From our geogra-
phical position, the relations, of the United
States and Mexico with each other must ALWAYS
be most important. She is directly in the
route of communication between our Atlantic
and Pacific States, and our intercourse with her
must consequently be Of daily and hourly &C.
currerce. 1t is evident that it is the true poll
cy of the two Governments to cherish the most
friendly feelings towards each other; but causes
of unkindness already exist. The Messilla
valley question--the demands for Indian depre-
dations on Mexican citizens, amounting to
millions of dollars--the claims of our own citi-
zens on Mexico for its spoilation, and the Te-
huantepec railroad contract--all quickened into
activity by the hostile prejudices Of Santa Anna
and a large majority of the Mexican people,
present an array of difficulties that threaten our
amicable relations with no small amount Of
disturbance. Great prudence, wisdom, and
sagacity will be necessary TO prevent a rupture,
and at the same time to secure all our rights"

The Senatorial Question.

This question, which has existed in such per.
plexity heretofore, and has been the cause OF
so much comment on our part, as well as on
the part of our contemporary in West Baton
Rouge, seems to be growing into something
like shape and order; and although not, by a
great deal, out of the perplexity into which our
local interests with regard to Crosse Tete, and
illegal acts and assumptions in relation to the
same territory on the part of West Baton
Rouge, have been the cause of placing it--mak-
ing it difficult under such a state of things to
combine upon a candidate-we, trust, neverthe-
less, that the yexed question has become some
what clearer since our last issue.
Col. F. A. WOODS of West Baton Rouge.
JAS. II. JOHNSTON Of Crosse Tete, and ZENoN
LABAUvE of PIaquemine, (but whose interests
are on Crosse Tete,) are the names which are
now before the people for the Office Of State
Senator. They are all warm, high.minded and
intelligent Wings, and jealous in the promo
ton Of their country's good as of their party's
supremacy. The first named gentleman is
brought forward by a friend in his own parish,
subject to a Wing District Convention, which
will not now take place, as evidenced by late
events.
Mr.. JOHNSTON is the regularly nominated
candidate of West Baton Rouge, and is an
nounced as such at the editorial head of the
Visa Wis. A delegation of the Wings of that
parish, as we understand, visited Crosse Tete
on Wednesday the 2Sth ult., and having failed
to induce Mr.. CHAs. A. SLACK to allow himself
to be brought forward for reelection, the Sc
cond choice of the delegation, it seems, was
Mr.. JOHNSTON, who (not willingly, however,
as we learn,) finally allowed his name to be
used by the Wings of that parish as their
choice for State Senator.
The third name, ZENoS LARAUvE, has been
called forth by "a Citizen,' in the columns of
the official organ of the Democracy of this pa
IRISH and in that call it is said that sthe Dem.
ocrats will support him." This comes in a
shape as to induce the belief that if the Wing
friends of that gentleman should nominate him
as a candidate for State Senator, they will exc
tend him their will:hg and united support
that, although a Wing, his well known ability,
his experience in legislation, his soundness up-
on a local question Of vast Importance to our
parish, and above all, his high integrity as a
man and as a politician, bending to no low
and leagueing with no petty %clioues
for selfish and ambitious purposes-are all
qualities of such high estimation, that they
(the Democrats) are willing to place him upon
their ticket also for the same office.
The matter, then, is reduced simply to this:
If the Wings of Iberville are in favor of the
candidate of West Baton Rouge, Mr.. JAS. H.
in favor of ZENoS LABAuvE.
is not the candidate of w. Baton Rouge,
them meet and make their nomination &C.
sordingly. To the first named gentleman the
Democrats Of West Baton Rouge are undoubt-
eddy pledged; to the latter. we have the assur-
anee that the entire support of the Democracy
If this parish will be cordially given.

The Fever.

AS yet we have not experienced that terri.
bic mortality that has characterized the preva-
lence Of the Fever in other towns and neigh.
borhoods around us; but we have suffered, and
may say are still suffering, sufficiently by this
terrible scourge as to cast over our community
the mantle Of gloom and detection, and to al.
most p~aralyze every description of business
Since its appearance here up to the present
time, we have been alternately rising and fall
ing with hope and despondency, rs the disease,
having momentarily abated, would again make
itself known by the solemn hearse that wend~
ed its silent way to the cemetery-and by the
intelligence that some other acquaintance had
been taken seriously i'll.
We are aware of but three deaths in our
TOW since the 3Oth ult. one on Sunday, one
on Monday, and the other to-day, Friday. But
there have been two burials here since that
period Of old citizens who died in our neigh
borhood, one below and the other above our
town, which cases were a very marked type Of
the epidemic. Indeed, it is quite evident, that
at this time there is more sickness in the coun.
try than in town. On a plantation just below
US, We learn that there are many negroes sick
and we hear of several cases among those who
left Plaqueuiine for the country when the dis.
ease first make its appearance here.
Although at this time and for a week past,
the fever has not been as bad as heretofore to
all appearances, yet we cannot say that the
prospect of health is any better. It now at
tacks old residents and native born citizens.
which was not the case at first, and is equally
if not more fatal than when it first appeared.--
But we have greater hopes that it is nearer its
end, for the reason that the season is now far
advanced; and as we have already had nights
nearly cold enough for frost, we have cause to
believe that not many days more will elapse
before this welcome visitor--how very welcome
now!-will made its appearance.
The only recourse for those who have not
yet been attacked, is to take care of them
selves while in health, and if taken sick to ap-
ply Immediately to a physician; while, at the
same time, nerving themselves to exclude from
their minds everything like fear. Doing this,
and trusting calmly to the mercy of an all
wise Providence, is all that is left us under the
affection Of the terrible scourge that has made
mournful our State, and cast its gloom into
the hearts Of thousands far away.
