RvWe notice the return Of Col
A. Malta from his European tour.

no The celebration Of st johns
DAY at Bayou Sara on the Gath inst.
was a brilliant affair. Members Of
the order from the neighborhood flock
ed in, to meet their bretheren on that
occasion, and the meeting was one OF
those social and fraternal gatherings
that tend so much to unite us in the
bonds Of fellowship.
The order paraded the streets Of
Bayou Sara, in their beautiful and
significant regalia, proceeded BY a
SPLENDID band Of music-''the life and
spirit Of existence. An elegant ad-
dress was delivered by L. D. Brewer
Esq q young gentleman of rare genius
and ability. At midday the compa-
ny set dowd to rich repast, and at
night the fair daughters Of Feliciana
assembled to crown the affair with the
smiles of their appreciation, and to
force the bretheren to forget for a
moment "the brotherly love and affec-
tion," by which they are bound. for
a similar emotion more congenial to
their feelings About one hundred
and fifty Of the beautiful daughters Of
that region, graced the occasion. We
cannot refrain from giving expression
to fact often called to mind by obser-
walton. We think there is no similar
extent Of country any where on the
globe, that the people possess more
Of the social qualities that make life
dear, than in the Felicianas.

EEUp to this time we have taken
our friends of the "Orleanian" to be
courteous gentlemen-possessing some
of the gallantry of which the leaders
of that paper SAVIOR; but we withdraw
it now and place them in catalogue
of the wicked. The following wanton
attack, in their editorials justifies us in
this proceeding:
at is said that Emma Sncdgrass
has repented, gone home, taken Oft the
breeches, and sworn eternal attach
ment to petticoats and propriety."
Let us analize this paragraph and
expose its falsity: in the first place,
Miss Emma, never left home-in the
second place she never had on any
brooches, except such as by vir-
tue OF her sex, she Is entitled 10 wear.
She has never "sworn attachment to
petticoats," for the obvious reason that
they have always been her bosom
friends. As to the charge Of "pro-
priety,' it is base imputation upon
her motives, and is sufficient cause for
an action ofdamages. We wot Of a
number Of sanctums that will be
haunted "by the young lady in pants
when she dies. Our conscience is easy
on this score, she can never say 1--WE
did it." We have always told the
naked truth with regard to her.

LITTLE PAPERs.--Our friend Jack
Gaisford of the Balloon has our best
consideration. In his Balloon Of the
25th inst, he has very discriminate
ing article on the subject Of ''small
papers" A matter of much interest
is this, to every logical philosopher
We are aware Of the fact, and are will
ling to admit it, that there are great
many very great men, nowadays,
who differ with Gaisford and ourself
on this subject-men who measure
papers with ten foot pole, and value
them according to their number Of
inches. With such we have nothing
to do. We are contending for an
abstract principal with which the size
of papers has nothing to do. On this
subject Gaisford remarks:
"On the table before us are the
CouEr, Baton Rouge Daily and
Weekly; the MORNING HERALD, a St.
Louis daily paper; and the BALLOON j;
now each Of these papers is a living
instance of what can be affected by
perseverance, in their turn they have
all been laughed at, sneered at, frown-
ed upon, and POOH PooHED, on &C
count Of diminutive proportions, and
iu the hands of common, matter OF
fact managers, would have discontin-
ued after the issue Of a few numbers
vet these papers have had the good
fortune to be under the control ofmen
so accustomed to opposition and dis
appointment, as only to consider these
circumstances rather advantageous
than otherwise, and who by steady
perseverance in an undertaking course
have gradually but surely added to
the slender support upon which they
started, to su,th an extent as to render
them perfectly safe from unforeseen
disasters: the great secret Of success
ofthese is, that their editors have not
merely rendered them readable, but in
so doing have carefully excluded from
their columns anything approaching
vulgarity.

or Minister 10 spain.

tho Court Of Spain. has for the past
few days been in New Orleans, which
place lie was to have left on Sunday
last for Washington City, there to
receive his instructions previous to de-
parting. His friends in New Orleans,
irrespective Of party, were anxious to
testify their appreciation ofhis emin-
emit services as United States Senator
for louisiana; but Mr.. Souls, with pro-
per delicaey respectfully declined any
public demonstration.
At no period in the past history Of
our Government, has a mission to
Spain been Of more importance than
it now lis. The recent abortive at
tempt to revolutionize the Island Of
Cuba--and the discreditable part taken
therein by our citizens, has engender-
ed a feeling between the two nations
that must frequently be referred to in
the diplomatic arrangements Of the
future. We may be censured for the
terms Of our language, when in speak
ing of that ill-advised attempt, we say
that the part taken by our citizens
was "discreditable;" but the facts justi-
fy us in making the assertion. In this
declaration, we have no reference to
the hot blooded youths who were inn
PEELED by the love ofadventure to land
a handful Of ammunition at Cardenas /;
but we allude to the freebooters who
in a regular band, here in this liberty
loving nation, went deliberately to
work and parcelled out the Island,
giving thus much, and thus much, to
each man who would aid to steal it ;
and where this bate did not answer,
issuing their own individual bonds with
some cautious proviso. With a knowl-
edge of these facts, we are disposed to
doubt the disinterested philanthrophy.
and the love of liberty of such repub-
licans. Is it to be presumed that her
Catholic Majesty is not aware Of the
facts Of the case? We think not
she knows that the parties still live,
{if few veterans have been inundated
on the alter Of humbug,) and they
breathe the pure atmosphere ofliberty
with whole skins. Wesay hear Catho-
lie Majesty must be aware Of the facts
and any suggestion on the part of Mr..
Soule in his official capacity, will be
looked upon with a jealous and sus-
picous eye. The future is pregnant
with great events, and it behooves our
ministers to take firm and dignified
stands in the European Courts. The
dignity Of the great Republic should
not be sacrificed to crafty the rapacity
of a few renegade agitators glorying
in the cognomen.of ''fillibusters'.
Our influence as nation should be
felt. Any conquest not made by
reason and intelligence, does not de-
serve the name Of a victory. And
whilst we preserve strict neutrality
in the contests Of other people, we
should be ready and willing to aid any
government establishing by its own
will, national existence, similar to
the one upon which our own beauti-
full fabric is constructed. This is the
legitimate offspring Of the republic
Let Cuba revolutionize when her peo-
pie are prepared for it-establish her
independence and then every heart in
the land will be ready to spill its best
blood, to aid her in retaining her pos
ition.
