Another Splendid Packet.--Our readers and
the friends of that careful ard interchangeable
commander, Capt. CoTroN, will be pleased to
read the following account of his new steamer,
the Laurel Hill, now building at New Albany,
Ind, which we take from the Tribune of that
city:
"Steamer Laurel HiH.--We visited this
boat on Saturday last, by request, and were
much pleased at the substantial manner in which
she is being built, as well as her finish and
model. She is designed for a semi weekly
packet between New Orleans and Bayou Sara,
and is to be commanded by Capt. J. A. Cotton.
This steamer is not yet completed, and conse-
qnently we cannot speak of her as fully as if
finished, but enough can be seen to know that
she must rank as a first class boat in elegance,
convenience. and best of all, in safety. The
care that has been taken in selecting the best
materials both for her hull and machinery and
the skill of the workmen, warrant US fully in
saving that she will be eminently worthy of
public confidence and patronage. The recent
law regulating our steamers, has been duly
consulted, and all the arrangement prescribed
for The security of frieght and passengers have
been adopted and are being reduced to practical
purposes on ms OOdt.a l. ue oOlItIS dte LDdue
in the most substantial manner, care having
been taken in selecting each plate, and any one
showing the least defect was rejected--and all
improvements conducive to safety being fully
adopted--and when we reflect that under the
new law this superior machinery will only work
with Il pressure of only 10 pounds to the
square inch, we can say that we know the boat
must be a safe one, and the safety will be more
apparent when compared with the pressure of
steam worked on boats built prior to the pas
sage of the late law.
The Laurie! Hill is, in short, just such a boat
as is needed for the trade in which she is to
run. We believe that if every boat built here
after will follow the provisions of the law as
strictly as it has been done in the case of the
Laurel Hill, we will have to chronicle but few
cases of disaster and destruction OH our rivers.
The hull of the Laurel Hill is by William
Jones; the boilers and machinery are from the
extensive foundry of P. Tellon g. Co., and the
blacksmith work by E. & S. Marsh.

Baky Horse.-Balky or libby horses are not
only a source of great annoyance, but frequent
ly endanger the property and peril the lives of
the owners. An East India gentleman one day
took his seat in one of the omnibuses in Lon
don, but at the time of starting, all the efforts
of the driver proved unavailing, owing to a
balky horse attached to the vehicle. The poor
animal became more and more FESTIVE, in pros
portion to torments inflicted upon him by the
driver, and several other whipmen who assisted
on the occasion. The street became blocked
up with spectators, andth be interception Of other
carriages. Great danger was to be apprehend-
ed. The East India gentleman, above referred
to, suggested to the driver and his assistants,
that if they would try the East India method of
fastening a cord to the horses fore-foot, and
cause q person to pull forward, the horse would
start right away. The suggestion was re-
ceived with contempt. However, after all
others had failed, a long cord was attached to
the animals fore-foot, and the moment the man
gave a strong pull, the horse started off as if
nothing had been the matter. The philosophy
of the case seems to be, that the horse, thrown
off the center of gravity by the propulsion for
ward, is taken by surprise and obliged to start
Try it.-Rural New Yorker.

Murder on the Marangouin.-We take the
following from the Young American:
"On Sunday evening last, Mr.. James Thomp-
son was murdered in the yard of Mr.. VOORHEES,,
on that bayou. We are not sufficiently aware of all
the circumstances to detail them here. On that
day. we are informed however, MI. Thompson
went to the residence Of VOORHEES, to get a claim
settled; and that late III the afternoon, his brother
in-law was informed by a boy sent to him, that
Thompson was dead, and to come and take HIM
away. He Immediately hurriedt to the place, when
he found the deceased at the place mentioned,
with three or four large bullet-holes in his back,
and seemingly just murdered. With the assistance
of some negroes the corpse was taken away, when
the brother-in-law Immediately left for Crosse
Tete to see a magistrate. 1t is to be hoped that
this diabolical act will be traced to its author,
that he may be brought to the bar of justice. 1t is
the interest of the citizens of Marangouln that
thew exert'themselves to this end"

GA correspondent in the Vis-a.Vis of the
l4th inst, commenting upon our articles rela.
tive to the Crosse Tete question, says:
"Those articles have appeared to me 10 sa.
vor far more of zeal for the interest of Iber.
vile, than of a knowledge Of the points OF
dispute, or of a disposition to meet the ques-
tion fairly"
We thank The writer for giving US the credit,
at least, for being Jealous in our advocacy Of
the interests Of Iberville. With regard to the
"points of dispute" they are plain enough; and
as to the laws upon the subject, it only re.
quires a clear judgment and an unbiased mind
to understand them thoroughly. But why it
is SO strenuously urged that the subject ought
and will be referred to the courts, is a mystery.
This point is far from being plain. If the laws
upon the matter any where or in any manner
stated that Crosse Tate should, upon the full
flment Of a proriso, become a portion of West
Baton Rouge, then the courts might take hold
of it. As there is no such language, it is clear
ly and ~legitimately a matter for future legisla-
ton.

Sham Jeuely.-The Home Journal thus
enlightens its readers on the subject Of sham
~iewelry:
'Sham jewelry is now imported of a very
superior quality, calculated to deceive the most
experienced eye and which can be sold at
about a tenth of the price of the real article
We had no idea, until lately, what a splendid
diamond brooch can be bought for seven dol
lars and a hslf; nor how impossible it is to tell,
by the eve alone, the difference between the
new, doublewashed, sham-go'd chains, and the
real California golden ones, twenty-five cara,s
fine; nor what Il prodigious quantity of the
sham is got rid Of by our Broadway jewellers.
Think of brass earrings; they are sold in large
quantities. In short, when VIC see a damsel or
marion all sparkling and blazing with jewels
and gold, from comb to shoe-lace, we are pIung-
ed at once into considerations touching bo,h
the nature and the source Of her spiendor. Is
it sham, orr it borrowed! we ask--conc,uding,
of course, that it is one Of the two

The Vis-a- Vis.-We are sorry that the edi-
tor of this paper manifests such feeling in his
editorials respecting those that have appeared
in our paper. This is wrong and unnecessary.
If we have taken a wrong view of matters, can
not he show our errors without displaying Bit
~terness and sarcasm of a personal nature g
This is not the high and gentlemanly tone that
we expected. As for ~ourself, we never wish
to embrace in our editorials, respecting a con-
temporary, for the purpose of giving them force
and eelat, anything that could in the least
wound his sensitiveness or create a breach in
our social relations.
The editor of the above paper makes some
rather harsh illusions in his issue on the l4th,
not only respecting %ourself, as going over to
the enemy, &c, but of a clique in Plaquemine
who are willing to seek favor with its enemies,
&c, and speaks of the "gallant band at the
Island and other portions Of the parish who
consider an honorable defeat better than an ig-
nominious surrender" &c.-hinting, doubtless,
that we should proceed to nominate a Senator
such as would please West Baton Rouge, ir-
respective Of consequences.
We have only to say that such illusions and
harsh epithets amount to nothing. The Wings
Of Plaquemine feel and act in common with
those at the "1sland' and other portions of the
parish. At no time, perhaps, are they unani-
nous in sentiment upon a great local question,
no more than in other parishes; but there is as
much harmony among the Wings here as
among those of West Baton Rouge or any
where else; but unfortunately, we have it not
in our power to act with the same freedom of
will as those in some other parishes where they
are largely in the ascendant.

The New Orleans Bee states that David

It is estimated that not less than four mil

A st. Louis paper says:-The balance sheet

that city and New Orleans for the past five or
six years, was made out a day or two since, and
exhibited a clear profit in that time, Of 1852,

in dividends to her owners. The boat is still
running, and bids fair to earn few thousands
more.

Women in The Fields.--An American STU
dent writes from Hanover to the Boston Jour
nal :--"You see here quite as many women at
work, hoeing, reaping, %ploughing, &c, as men.
They look strong and hardy--are generally
barefoot, but sometimes have quite a comely
appearance--their arms, ofcourse, being bronx
ed in the sun. At evening | meet many of them
returning from the fields, with their hoes and
baskets swung over their shoulders. This is
by no means as bad as it looks. The women
often work with their husbands, and doubtless
enjoy it, simple peasants as they are, through
sometimes they are ill-treated. For example,
you sometimes see a man and woman in a
field, the wonaen digging the holes in the ground,
and the man dropping in the potatoes 1t is
characteristic of the women here to be much
more in the open air than the Americans, and
that too without bonnet or cap"

Plank Road. Of late, in abiding to the course
which that parish is taking on the fimsy pre-
tence Of a "good and practicable road" we
have spoken in terms not very flattering to the
present condition of that road, but which are
nevertheless just. The Plank Road alluded
to is a species Of internal improvement which
we have ever advocated; We wish it success,
and hope to see it completed at an early day
and those who originated il, receive the honor
and recompense justly due to their public spi>

~ Runaway from the undersigned, on
40 Sunday night the the 18th inst, THREE
n NEGRO MEN, as follows:
a. SIMON, aged about 80 years, six feet
49, high, and well made, front teeth out, car
ried himself tolerably well; color nearly black;
can read and write, and will no doubt endeavor to
pass by exhibiting a pass written by himself or
he may state that he is free.
PEYTON, aged about 90 years, S feet 10 inches
high; a little stoop- shoulderee; legs short; color
gray.
LOUIS, aged about % years, about the SAINT
height as Peyton; color black; very cross-eyed.
1t is supposed that they will endeavor to reach
New Orleans, and thence the upper country. $50
reward will be given for the apprehension and de-
livery Of the boy Simon to me on my plantation,
Or for his safe Judgement in Jail; and $40 each for
the arrest and delivery of either of the other boys.
The boys had on when they left, blue round
about coats; Simon had on a black silk or beaver
hat. THEODORE JOHNSTON.

Keep Your Eyes Open.--We are aware that
enc or more persons on Crosse Tete who are
opposed to becoming citizens of West Baton
Rouge, and opposed likewise to the claim of
that parish to their territory, very incautiously
gave in a list of their property the other day to
the Assessor, thinking it would do no harm
Do they know that this fact will be brought in
as evidence before the Legislature that they
acknowledge the business Of West Baton
Rouge sending an Assessor there, and their
willingness to become annexed to that parish ?

Death of II. K. w. HH.--It is with deep

Death of II. K. w. HH.--It is with deep
regret that we announce the demise of this old
citizen of New Orleans, this much honored,
honorable and generous hearted man. No loss
could be more severely felt by the community
at large in this city, and wherever he was
known. The sad event, though anticipated
since yesterday morning, still takes US by sur
prise, for it appeared impossible that one so
active, so kind, and occupying so large a place
in the ranks of our mercantile city, should SO
suddenly disappear from our midst.
The expressions of sorrow for his loss were
universal this morning when the news became
knowl about the streets: on every lip there
was a word of regret, coupled with one of res
spect and friendship for the memory of the de-
ceased.
He was a native of Halifax county, N. c.,
and during a long residence here as a business
man acquired, without seeking it, but from the
mere force of individual character, a populari-
ty among all classes, which might well be en-
wed its possessor. If a large hearted LIBERAL
ity and charity can make a man beloved, then
was the object of this notice fully worthy Of
the reward he met with. His course towards
the suffering population of this city during the
terrible epidemic will ever be remembered with
gratitude and cited as an example.
He died of fever, at his plantation above this
city, this morning at half-past l O'Clock. His
funeral will take place to. morrow morning at
10 o'clock, from the Methodist Church on Car
ondelet street, between Hevia and Girod. AS
he was Grand Master of the order of Masons in
this State, and as such was most highly es-
teened by them, no doubt that influential body
will be present on the occasion in full force,
and with all their imposing ceremonies.-Pica-
Duue.

same number as the previous week. We be-
