Death Of General Armstrong,


The N. o. True Della of the Goth states
that the news had just arrived Of the death Of
Gen. Robt. Armstrong of the Washington
Union, on the 23d.
The following is an extract from gen jack
SON will in reference to Gen. ARMSTRONG:
GAS a memeuto of my high regard for &c.
neral Robert Armstrong, as a gentleman,
patriot, and soldier, as well as for his merito-
rious military services under my command
during the late British and Indian war, and
remembering the gallant bearing Of him and
his little band at Enotchopoca Creek, when,
falling desperately wounded, he called out,
my brave fellows! some may fall, but sisse the
canpon;' as a memento of all these things, /
give and bequeath to him my case of pistols
and sword worn by ne throughout my military
career, well satisfied that in his hands they will
never be disgraced,-that they will never be
used or drawn without occasion, nor sheathed
but with honor" o

The Louisiana Press Union.

. In another column in to-day's paper we give
the proceedings of the Louisiana Press Union, at
! Baton Rouge, on Wednesday and Thursday of last
| week. A few only, perhaps, of each day was g-
ven 10 the business before the Union, but it is seen
that something like a commencement TO regulate
matters for the interest of the country press, has
been made. We shall not take upon ourselves to
pass Judgment upon the scale of prices as estab-
iished for announcing candidates for Office, &c,
State and National. We hold ourself in readiness
to cooperate with the decisions of the Union in
all things which it may decide upon as just and
proper, for the honor and character of the profess
sion and for the protection of our mutual interests.
The prices established for the announcements
alluded to, will have one good effect. if no other.
1t will be the cause of having fewer candidates
announced, and consequently there will be less OF
that candidate putting which is now INDUCED in
and which is even looked for by those whose
names are AUTHORIZED to be announced, 1t is well
enough to lie, it be known, then, what candidates
are expected 10 pay, and if they think the price
too high, let them keep their names out of the
papers, their virtues and abilities, and everything
else they would like the people 10 know.
But the object Of the Union is not merely to
establish prices and regulate the pecnniary affairs
of the Louisiana Press. Although prices Urinary
respects will be raised by it upon a more equitao
BILE footing, yet this is very far from being its only
object. We should equally cherish some plan
to advance the usefulness and dignity of the pro-
! fession. as that which tended to its pecuniary pros
perity. But all descriptions of business is now ad-
vancing in price, as well IS all the rfecessariesoo of
life and it is nothing more than right that a COM
p~ensation in unison with the times. for advertis-
ing, SC, be regulated by the Union, for the COM
mon interest of the country publishers. o q
We perceive that the Union will have an adj
journed meeting on the first Monday in May next.
We trust that a large representation will be pre-
sent at Baton Rouge, and that a proper and united
action be had upon every interest connected with
the Louisiana country press.

State Engineers Report o n the Mouth Of
BAYOU Plaouemine.

We thank the Hon. f. D. WOODS for a copy
of this Report, embracing nearly fifteen pages
We have not had time as yet to peruse it through
We perceive, however, that the State Epgineeris
opposed to closing the Bayou. He says that many
persons in Plaquemine desire it to be closed, but
that il it were, they would be the first to seek re-
dress: in consequence of the evils to the town
which the closing Of it would give rise to-such
as an increased impetus to the c%aving-in of the
river bank. He says, Likewise, that closing the
Bayou would inlure the people below to a great
extent.
1Ae following is the improvement which the
State talgiL.eer recommends to be made at the
mouth 81 the Bayou-both, We believe, to keep
out me drift and insure uninterrupted navigation
! ID high water, and for the protection of our W :
"The improvement which consider under
all circumstances the best, and most worthy of
adoption, is the erection of substantial brick
walls that would confne the amount of water
entering the mouth Of the Bayou to the guam
tity which can se discharged below, and thus
recover from the fatal error committed by cut
ting the canal. The upper wall to act as a
break water to turn off the strong current of
the Mississippi, and the lower one to protect
the banks of the bayou on the side of the tow
Of PIaquemine. Besides these constructions, l
would recommend a floating fender about four
hundsed ard eighty fcetlong to be placed above
the mouth with The lower end kept out into the
stream by permanent paddles placed upon it, to
be acted upon by the current of the river itself;
so. that the very force which propels drift wood
against it, should force it out into the stream
far enough not to be drawn within the iDfu-
ence Of the current Of the bayou"
With reference TO the brick walls, we differ en-.
tifely with the gentlematn-so much SO. that we
consider such a work at the mouth of the Bayou,
for any permanent good whatever of any descrip-
ton, to be the very Guintescence of folly. His
estimate for the above work is sec. 5G3 20.
We shall give the above Report a further and
more extended notice in our next.

Galveston and Last Island,

The Galveston Daily Times, of the 18th, has
the following notice of an important project: .
We learn that a project is in agitation, which,
if true, will, when perfected, be a great beside.
ratum to Galveston. We refer to a daily com.
munication between this port and last Island
by steamer, and a continuation from that point
to New Orleans by railroad. With all the ear
n~estness ofmind, soul and body which we pos
sess, We hope for the success of this enterprise,
should it in fact be undertaken, as we under>
stand it certainly will be. When we can have
a daily mail from New Orleans, with the sacili.
ties for pleasant and speedy travel between the
ports, which the fact would ensure, the last and
only remaining doubt about the future will be
removed. o The difficulty and disagreeableness
Of a sea trip prevents many from coming by this
route to Texas. With this arrangement emil
grants may take the cars at New Orleans, run
down to Last Island in a few hours, and run
from that point to this in twelve hours. Bust
ness can then never become stagnant. The ia.
cilities of communication from abroad being
established, they will be increased with the in
teriOr. The citizens from the country will be
attracted here, and with them they will bring
their trade; and it will follow, just as certainly
as the effect follows a producing cause, that
Galveston will, with this improvement, grow
with a most astonishing rapidity, asd assume a
most enviabfe position.

she had five s%uitors, to each of whom she engag.

At the last accounts the Emperor of Russia

The citizens Of Crosse Tete will be grati6ed to
learn that Capt. NEAL, with his popular boat the
Opelousas, expects to be up in their vicinity on
Monday evening next, if the bar at the entrance
of the Bay, and the stage Of the water in the bay
GU, will enable him to get up. Should he succeed
we doubt not it will cause every countenance on
the bayou to brighten up. The Opaousa' will
continue to run to Crosse Tete throughout the sea-
son, by way at the Atchafalaya, while Bayou Pla-
quemine remains stopped up with the drift.

p~ulation tried hard to obtain this honor. Not be-
ing on the streets much that day, and seeing the
entire force which celebrated ALL Fools Day, we
are not competent to pass an opinion upon the me.
rits of each. In the evening a splendid Fancy
Dress and Mask Ball was given at the Marion.
