DISTINGUISHED ARR1vAL.-The
Count of Gullsnobs has just arrived,

river country. This distinguished
stranger was every where received
with the utmost enthusiasm, and crea-
ted a great sensation whenever and
wherever he appeared, and a greater
one whenever and wherever he disap.
peared The citizens Of Baton Rouge
generously contributed the means Of
defraying his travelling and incidental
expenses, one supplying him with
money, another with garments, third
with horses, carriage, servant, etc.
The latter gentlemen, We are told, re.
pented his liberality, ard is on his way
hither in the de!usive hope Of regain
ing possession Of his property. We
had understood that our authorities
had pat the Parish prison and all the
calabooses of the city in order, besides
other preparation for an ap-

~ STREET CRIES.-We have Other
evidences Of the fact that Baton Rouge
is getting to be "place," than such as
are furnished from new buildings 60
ing up. and the shifting Of old ones
from point to point.
1t is with much difficulty that VIC
labor to impress upon our coafrers
tho fact that this is the capital and
therefore for no other reason
should be called "City." Still there
are other strong claims, never before
urged, and which should have equal
weight in the consideration. We have
our street cries. The useful article of
soap was very properly the first
regularly Grief and now we have ma
ny other articles of Merchandise fish,
flesh, and fowl; besides "fresh meal. :"
So many things have been done Of
late to entitle US to metropolitan noto-
riety, that it is high time. our contem-
poraries should acknowledge the corn.
Have we not a very spacious City
Hall, of sufficient dimensions to con-
tain the Number one engine? Have
we not very Public square, in

ed after all the martyred saints, be-
sides an artesian well mot finished)
that is to be converted into a Fountain
"a public fountain" to refresh the To-
cality Of our commodius City Market?
All these several things we have, be-
sides more. To cap the whole gentle
men, look at our public press-with its
daily and weekly emissions of light to
dazzle the eyes Of the benighted world.
Think Of these things generous con-
temporaries, and never more call us

Or Baton Rouge, simply; but denom-
mate us ''thc capital as we are--the

This must be the centre in which all
great men should first turn up. We
admire the sagacity Of the Count of

he could screw his trunk to the floor

will be no further doubt expressed on
