THE WARD Western Indignation
The Indignation expressed by the people
of Kentucky towards all who participated in
the Ward trial seems to be most heartily re.
sponded to throughout the Western States.
Hon. J. J. Crittendcn, who has hitherto stood
so high in the estimation of the people of the
West, without distinction ofpurty, and whose
services to the country have been appreciated
every where, has blasted all his future pros.
poets of distinction or public honor by his
participation in the defence Of the case. The
st. Louis Herald states that Mr. Crittenden
was present ut the National Medical Govern
ton in session in that city on the 9th inst,
and SAYS
at appears that 4 motion was made that
this gentleman be invited to take seat on
the platform, along with the President of the
Convention; but the very moment his name
was announced, an universal shout OF "No y
was sent up, mingled with Kisses and stamp
ing of feet which did not cease until he left
the hail."
On the same evening he attended a medi.
cal banquet, and WAS evidently anxious for
an opportunity to offer some explanation OF
his participation in the case, but no opportu.
nifty was given him, and no notice take OF
him during the evening. We doubt not,
however, he will take an early opportunity to
vindicatc his character from the opprobruln
heapcd upon it.

MIoDEsTY AND lMrUDESCE.-Alas! that 1t
should be so. Modest worth is too often
overlooked, while impudent, clustering ras-
cality is courted and embraced. The unas-
suming man may possess talents of high
order, but they are not arpreciated-especial-
Iy in his own ncighborhood. The brow-beat-
ing fellow possesses the gift of the CAB and
is thought to be an eighth wonder. The
former has regard for the truth, and in what
ever business he may be engaged, will tell
you the facts respecting any article you wish
to purchase. The latter will lie like the evil
one, and you can place no dependence on
what he says. Notwithstanding, the modest,
unassuming man is passed by and neglected
while the mpudent and proiane character is
patronizcd and encouraged.

Observation-Disclosures from the new Ter
ritory of Washington, now here, (says q
Washington letter. represent its resources
in n very favorable light. But, at the same
time, they lament the fatal delusion which
induced our Government to surrender the
most important portion of Northern America
to Great Britain. We gave up our claim to
the region between the parallels of iortynine
and ..fflyJour .tortH" without struggle,
even diplomatic, and thereby deprived our ex-
panding population of what proves to be by
far the most valuable part OF Oregon. We
should have adhered to "tifty-four forty
firmly, but peacefully, and Mr.. Calhoun's
mastery inactivity, would have given it to
us. 1t was our mistake to raise clamor for
the settlement ofa question that would, by
this time, have settled itself. We should
by this time, have squattcd out the British,
while, by an imprudent haste, we have left
it to Russia to drive them out. For the ben
eft of our ursinc neighbor, did we reFn.
quish our demand of the "whole or nonc."
Thus it is, that by being too greedy, we are
apt to lose the advantages that might fall to
us, in the natural course of things. Our nc.
QUESTION of Cula will undoubtedly be retar-
ded by the rash measures now in contem.
plation, though We may, in prosecuting it,
subject ourselves to the chastsement of n
war, for u war is certainly punishment to
a money. loving people. We are in posi-
ton in which, if the South wish to 60 to
war for Cuba, We can accommodate them.

MAIL ROUTE BY THE N. 0. AND OPELoUsAs
RAnRoAD.-The present proximity of Thibo-
daux and New Orleans by virtue of the N. O..
and Opelousas Railroad, renders it important to
the public interest that mail route should be
established thereon. The great advantages that
this section would derive therefrom, and the in
creased facilities for transportation are meal
culable. It would diminish the expense to the
department, and less danger Of failure would
ensue. By the course the mail now travels, it
takes period of two days, the dangers of the
river and land to risk while by the Rail Road
four hours are sufficient to bring it to its place
Of destination at much cheaper rate and less
risk. These are stubborn facts and deserving
consideration. We deem it incumbent on us
whenever the public service requires any dim
mutton Of expense, or the community any benefit,
that such should be promptly communicated to
those in authority. We live in an age Of pro-
erosion, and should avail ourselves of all i'm
proyements that may offer.

ma A decision has just been made by the
Court of Common Pleas in New York city, which
is of pretty general interest. It is known that
the wholesale merchants Of New York have an
agent in every town and village of Importance
in the country whose traders purchase their
goods in that city. These agents inform them
selves as to the standing Of said traders, and re-
port accordingly. The case just tried was be-
tween q house in Columbus, Mississippi, as
plaintiffs, and the New York agent in that place,
as the defendant; and suit was brought to re-
cover damages fer an alleged libel on the part
Of defendant, in having written disparagingly Of
the plaintiffs. The issue has now been tried
for the second time, the defendant having, on
the frst trial, being muIcted in damages to
$4,000, and moved for new trial on the ground
Of the rejection Of legal evidence. No new
facts, however, were elicted, and the jury rem
dered verdict for the plaintiffs for the sum ii
$1,000.

TIMELY HINTS.-Ihe Providence X. L. jour
nal is a paper which gives sound advice on al
most every subject. 1t has been studying the
wants of its readers under the existing scarcity
of many articles of living and the high prices
consequent thereon. 1t says:
g Two things may be regarded as settled to-
wards the means of living for the coming winter:
lst. The amount of food i'll the country at the
close of the harvest will be more than sufficient
to feed all the people in it, and there will be
no considerable demand for expectation. The
European accounts are all favorable. In En-
gland the crop is large; so in Italy: and in
Ireland the potatoes are turning out finely.
California which has taken a great deal of
breadstuffs and caused the exporting of great
deal more, will not only supply herself, but will
export to the Atlantic States. I'd. The amount
of coal mined this year is greater than ever be-
fore, and the regular increase of consumption
will not probably be so great this year as usual
The high price of the article is of itself reason
for reduced consumption, and the depression
in many kinds of mechanical business has re-
duced the amount required for steam engines.
1.-TWO other things ought to be settled: 1st
There should be greater economy in the con-
sumption of food by the wealthy and midding
classes; for such economy, making food more
abundant, will reduce its price on the poor
Less meat should be eaten; we eat too much
animal food in this country. More rice should
be eaten in this part of the country. Rice is a
cheap, wholesome, and properly cooked, de-
licious food. But we do not cook it right here.
We make it into paste which nobody can relish
When cooked, as it should be, the grains dis
tinct, yet thoroughly softened. rice rivals the
potato as an article of daily and indispensable
food. Many people give it the preference.
''' Finally, brethren, as the ministers say, we
should all practice economy. Most of us are
obliged to: and those to whom it is not necessity
should make it uutue. Nobody should be
ashamed of it. Meanness is contemplate, but
economy is honorable and extravaganza is wick
ed. Use the good gifts of Providence, but do
not abuse them; give away, but do not waste. !"

Dr.. WALTER B. You've, highly respected
physician Of Thibodaux, died on Wednesday last.
His death was unexpected as the news was sad
and painful, We had the pleasure Of personal
acquaintance and felt for him the highest es-
TEEN. We always found him an affable, gene
rous, kind and high toned gentleman, and
during his residence here, had attached to him
many warm personal friends, gaining the esteem
of all who knew him. We deplore his decease
for the loss Of 50 good man and worthy citizen
is much to be regretted, and whose value cannot
be too highly estimated.

Su1cIDE.-On Tuesday last quite a sad and
melancholy event occurred in our town. Mr. E.
Leonval terminated his existence by taking a
quantity of shychnine which he had purchased
in the early part of the day. He spent several
honrs at the store of Mr.. Raglan engaged in
writing letters, &c., after which he stepped
into Mr.. RS back office and took the fatal DOSE
While under the influence Of the poison he con-
versed freely with several persons present; and
when the baneful effects supervened he suffered
extreme agonies, and died about o'clock, P. NJ
Several letters were found on his person
directed to his wife and mother. accounting for
the deed, by stating, that he had received sum
of money, and had been induced to play game
of cards, when he lost all he had.
We sincerely deplore his untimely end. This
awful close of his life must have given heart
rending shock to his family. What must their
grief have been to be thus parted, and how
feeby does grief compare with the rending an
guish of mothers heart, when the remorseless
hand of death takes from her the only son !!
Such loss is irreparable--hers must be an aching
void that nothing earthly can fill. Sympathy
affords but little consolation to one so deeply
| bereaved-the thought rushes to her heart-all,
all is forever, ever lost to us while here below.
The deceased bore an upright, honest and I'M
| blemished reputation and possessed many and
varied attainments
