snodgrass Of New York who started
for California sometime since did not
get fur on her way il seems This is
the fore part ofa long notice in the
Picayune about Miss Emma, which is
as slanderous as anything could we'll
be. Mias Emma never started to
California. The press seems to be
united in iss persecution of this young
lady who we are assured was never at.
tired in any other pants, than those
that legitimately belong to the sex
We hope the gentlemanly proprietor
Ct the picayune will do the young
lady the justice to contradict the re-

DISASTER AT The STATE CAPIroL.-A de-
spatch, brief but pregnant with much
meaning, was received here by distin-
guished citizen, from another who occupies
q prominent position in the State Legisla-
ture. 1t was to the following effect:
"Dear Hickocf For Heavens sake tell
John Galpin, of stalls Nos. 3 and 5, ST.
Mary's Market, to send US something to
eat. We are starving
This is dreadful state of things. We
had no idea that our legislators had such
terrible sufferings to endure. We can i'm
agine their deplorable condition. We had
no idea they were reduced to SO low an ebb
of edibles. No wonder they are hurrying
through the business of the State. a hun
cry stomach knows no law.
We are of an opinion that subscription
should be raised to send steamboat, or
even several steamboats,, to Baton Rouge
with provisions for these starving legisla-
tors. This nation has sent any quantity of
food to Ireland, Madeira, &C., and we do
net see why the inhabitants of the capital
at Baton Rouge should be less the OBJ
jects of our charity and commiseration
than the citizens of foreign cline. If no
provisions can be sent to them, we advise
that steamboat be sent to bring the leg
islators to the city and divide them among
the different restaurants
