Mr.. Comet You must not per-
nit yourself to be raised off your legs

that the Infant Drummer" will posi-
lively be here tomorrow. Every
body is in fever of excitement to see

him-et eleven minutes past III, to
extend him the "hospitalities,' and
offer the protection Of the "Star Span

monwealth, and in behalf of the citizens
of Louisiana. Certainly this will be a
spectacle, something to remember. y

you as to what's done.
