Loss OF THE U. S. REVENUE OTTER HAM1L-
ToS-Nany Lives Lost.-We learn from the
Charleston Standard of the 10th, that the steam
er Calhoun, which arrived at that port the pre-
vious day, picked up at sea near North Edisto,
Jas. Hagan, seaman, who was attached to the
Hamilton. From Mr.. Hagan it is learned that
the Hamilton in trying to 60 to sea from
Charleston on the 9Th, got ashore in the break
ers near the bar, but was finally got off after
dark, but owing to the difficulty of getting under
way near the shoals, it was deemed prudent to
anchor until morning. On Thursday morning
early it commenced blowing gale from the
North East, which rendered it impossible to get
the vessel under way in the position she then
lay. All her anchors and chains were brought
into service, but the gale continued to increase
she parted one chain after another and was
driven ashore on Foley Breakers on Thursday
night. The masts soon going by the board, and
the vessel leaking very badly, it was thought
best to abandon her, that being the only chance
left of saving the lives of all on board. Capt.
Rudolph, Thos. Stone, Quatermaster, (of Bos-
ton, two boys, and four men, took to the life
boat, which soon after being among the breakers
was turned over, and every soul in her drowned
but our informant, Jas. Hagan, and he was only
saved by being dashed to the boat, none of the
others having secueed themselves in that way.
The other life-boat had in her Camillus Saun-
ders, LIST Lieutenant, E. C. Hine, Sd Lieutenant,
there being no I'd Lieutenant attached, and
the remainder of the crew, which probably con-
sisted of the carpenter and four men. No in
formation has been received of this boat

DEATH OF Dzvor1.-We clip the following
from the Natchitoches Chronicle, Of the Sd inst.
Poor Devoti was well known here:

Most of our readears remember Mons. DeToti,
for many years teacher Of dancing in this and
the adjoining parishes, and his very name is
suggestive Of quadrilles, polkas, schottisches,
heated rooms, and all the attendants Of the gay
ball room. The pser fellow left here for Texas,
on the appearance of the epidemic, and was
taken sick and died on his route to that State.
He has danced his last step, and taken his last,
the dead march.

BIRTH IN GRAvEYARD.-The st. Louis Re
publican of the 18th inst, has the following:

BIRTH IN A URAVEYARD.-lue OL LOulS lSc>
publican of the 18th inst, has the following:
On last Sunday night gentleman who lives
on the St. Charles road, a short distance beyond
the city limits, by the name of Fitzgibbon was
returning to his home short time after dark,
when he was in the neighborhood of the grave
yards on Franklin avenue, he was startled by
deep moan, as if from person in great distress.
He Immediately refined up his horse, and getting
out of his vehicle commenced search and follow
ing the direction from which the sound proceed
ed, in short time discovered young and
beautiful woman lying on the ground and ap-
parently suffering great physical agony. A mo-
ments glance revealed the fact that she had
just given birth to an infant, and there pressed
| to her BOSOM and wrapped in its mothers tat
tered dress which she had torn from her person
| to protect her tender offspring, lay smiling
babe Her story was soon told, for however
much she had been wronged, with that true in
stinct of womanly virtue, she kept within her
own bosom. A stranger in the city, without
friends and without home, she sought to con-
ceal her shame, and in the sacred precincts OF
the cemetery, and darkness and surrounded by
the desolation of the dead, her infant drew its
first breath under the very shadow of the tomb.
What an illustration of life have we probably
in the Maynard course of this poor, weak wan
derer! Charity might well stop to drop tear
over outraged virtue. Shame, that expressive
word of violated innocence, had probably driven
her from her home and all the endearments Of
the social relation been severed to hide her
shame and another's crime.
The mother and the infant were taken in
charge by the charitable gentleman who had
found them, and taken to his own home, where
they were properly taken care Of The unfor-
tunate creature stated that she was from the
| State of New York but declined to give her
name. She subsequently gave one by which
she might be called, but which is certainly fic-
| titious one.

suddenly visited the city! He was told that
this was the funeral day Of the Alcohol

will of the Lord be DONE" Amen.

CouRr.-The Fifth District Court commenced
a called jury term in this place on Monday last,
Hon. ]. L. Cole presiding. Weunderstand that
q good deal of business has been disposed Of
mostly of civil nature. There is now on hand,
the most interesting case of the season: About
third of the inhabitants of this place together
with some of our country neighbors have been
indicted for gambling. Twenty-seven Of them
appeared before Justice Terrebonne on Thurs
day morning last and gave bond in the sum of
$1,000 each to appear at court. They are ar
raigned for playing at game called "vingt-et-
un," against which the law is very severe, but
as yet has never been enforced in this place.
Some Of our influential citizens and officers Of
the parish are included in the list. The case
hes been postponed until next court.

dealing with the charge of Aboonism brought against the

veyed in the foregoing paragraph that the re-
cent election in this State should be looked upon
as an endorsement of the administration, is SUI
premely ridiculous The people of Louisiana
the hre ones, we mean-haven't endorsed the
administration; and if it doesn't its policy OF
talking one way and acting another, 1t is not very
probable they ever will. The people of this
State, the ave people, we again repeat, are
about as strongly opposed to indirection and du-
plicity. as the people of any other commonwealth
The endorsement of the "goblins damned, in
voked by the magic and metallic wand of the
Talleyrand of Louisiana Democracy, at the late
election, the Post, the administration and all
others concerned, are perfectly welcome to.
But if this endorsement is at all valuable to
the administration, or looked upon as such by
it, no gratitude need be manifested towards our
Ire people, (the dead ones won't be cl'nked out
of their graves before another important election
rolls round, and therefore are unable to appre-
ciate gratitude, no matter how profoundly for it

gratitude is all due to venerable" gentleman,
