modest corner. Of yerterday mornings
Democratic Advocate, the following
notice attracts attention, in ancient
Gallo, and modern English. 1--WE
are authorized TO announce that our
ancient conpatriot, b. Marigpy. will
be candidate for the place Of Gov
ernor at the election in 1855.
This, to use very significant ex-
preston, is "anticipatory." An hun
bred unlocked for changes, may take
place before half the time expires.
The coming legislature is to elect a
United States Senator. "Shrcwd COM
binations and corrupt alliance" have
taken place to elevate to that respon-
sible post, a man who hesitates not to
appear at. the ballot box with his
money bags. As near as it was posi-
bic to do SO, pack Of twenty fifth-rate
men, have been purchased of the
people, to fill the next Legislature for
this purpose, and it would not surprise
us if John Sldell-the political money
broker-the man whose notoriety CON-
menced with the Plaquemine specu-
lation is elevated to that post. But
this remains to be seen--the packed
deck of cards that goes iuto the next
Legislature, have to be played; and
we are glad to see an independence
in some quarters of the public press
that will expose to the people in fear
less language, the bribery and cor
ruption that wealth has introduced
into high stations.
Some may be gagged into silence
others may be purchased, to blow the
silver trumpet. and grind the barrel
organ music, to the set tune of polltl
cal triclsesters, but this must have but
a brief existence, for the strength o
the government is based upon the hon
est integrity of the people, aud it mas'
prevail.
The press is corrupt and degener
ate, and at times we think, shows ;
hopeless national retrogression from
the purity and simplicity ofrepublicar
principals. But when we look about
us and see how many papers are os
tensably owned by political stock
iobbers; such cannot have much force
beyond the life and fortune of the PEG
pie who live by them.
The coming legislature is to be one
of more than ordinary Importance
a Senator has to be elected, and there
are three prominent candidates in tho
field, Gov. P. o. Hebert, Judge la
rue, and J,hn Slidell; it is to be hopec
that the talents and qualifications o
the candidates will only be regarded
but we have fear for the power ant
respectable" influence, that the mon
ey monopoly Yields.
In reference to the Office Of Gov
ernor, it is time enough to speak
We see no one standing more prom;
nently before the people, than th'
Hon. A. S. Heron, our present tai
entcd and gentlemanlyss Secretary 0
State.

Coal IN Ono AND kENTUCKY.-
As much is said of the abundance of
coal in various localities, the Rail-
road Record gives an account Of the
immense repositories of this fuel in
Ohio and Kentucky. The following
is given as the extent of their coal
fields--Ohio, 1890 square miles !;
Kentucky, 1850 square miles. As
to the qHantity of coal provided for
Ohio aud Kentucky, it appears that
if each OF these States consumed one
hundred million bushels of coal each
year, one seam only acould supply
them for SIC mjilions Of gears!
But, as there are probably dozen
seams in a thousand feet of depth, the
good people may consider themselves
as having a supply on hand for iliimi-
table ages. Ali that is necessary is to
dig it out and distribute it by means
of railroads or canals.
The mercantile Navy of the United
States is at present greater than that
of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain, and the tonnage of the single city
of New York, is within trifle of be-.
ing equal to that of London and Liv-
erpool put together. According to
statistics, our mercantile marine was
at the close Of last year, upwards of
A. 1000 tons, whilst that of Great
Britain was but 100000 tons.
Seven years ago, the tonnage of New
York was considerably less than that
of London. At the end Of 1853, it
exceeded 100000 tons, whilst that
of London was 1000 tons, and that
of Liverpool 634,C0O tons. These
are marvellous facts

that never failing pulse Of the times

This season has been 30 remarkable

We dogmatically assert, that the earth

on the scientific to deny the proposit-

dicted eclipses have not taken place
why almanac makers have shot so

CONSERVATION on Saturday by the in

particulars of this melancholy affair

That on this evening the ID Decem-

and two o'clock, on Tchoupitoulas
street, near St. Mary's Market, in this
District, deponent heard the report of
a pistol, near an omnibus, then passing
.by said market; said deponent saw the
prisoner, James Patton, who was in
the said omnibus at the said time and
place, unprovokedly and maliciously
assault and fire pistol three times at
Col. Walter Turnbull, who was stand
ing near said omnibus; three shots
taking effect in the breast Of said
Turnbull, and from the said wounds
Turnbull has since died, as deponcnt
verify believes and charges
Col. TURNBULL was one of our
most estimablc citizens. He had
held several offices of trust and re-

his duties most acceptably He was a
gentleman of the old school; courte-
Gus and affable in his department, and
universally esteemed as an honorable,
amiable, kind-hearted gentleman.-
