Railroad next Summer-wouh Il not be
well for some Of the cilizens OF This place
TO take a new step in the Temperance
question. We all know that during The
building Of a Railroad, il liquor can be had

pense, besides the demoralizing feet itlias
upon a town. Something ought to be done.
Our suggestion is simply TO have q few of

in its proper light, and reques, them IN

more than all, most Of those who were
saved were hurried from the awful scene

but the crowded state Of the boat, and the

NAPOLEON AND THE JEsUITs.

A private letter from 81. EIienne, France,
TO the editors Of the New York Journal
of Commerce, states that the Emperor has
suppressed the establishment Of the Jesu.
its in The Commune Of Montaud, in the
suburbs of that city (; that The proceeding
had produced great commolion, and that
the popular feeling was favorable 10 the
Emperor. ST. Elienne is like Lyons, an
important ina nulacinring place, the prih
cipal articles of produce being ribbons and
firearms; and The Government has there
one Of lis most important armories. The
population is largely CONFUSED Of work
iSg people, who, though Catholic, are Bit
lerly opposed 10 the J%esuils, on account Of
the wrongs which are inflicted on them
through The extensive influence Of The Or
der, and Us o(icious in%lermeddling with
all departments Of business. A desire 10
roncillale these people is the motive I'M
ppied to the Emperor. The Jesuit insti.
tuition suppressed was extensive and flour
ishiug, and held a high rank among the
educational establishments in France.

steamer NatChsz, lying close by. The
latter had also Just arrived with a cargo
Of at least 1000 bales of Cotton. all oil
which fell a prey TO the devouring elements.

fire through The light woodwork Of the
steamers and the combuslible material
hesPed up everywhere around them. that
almost before a useful effort could be
made 10 arrest its onward sweep, il was
extending on all sides. Large quanlies o.
produce and merchandise were slowed
upon The levee, where a CONSERVATION
reigned that may be imagined bur nol de-
scribed--deEse volahes OF smoke and
sparks whirling into the faces Of those
who were hurry ing TO the rescue so great
was the UNIVERSAL confusion that severaI
Of The Gre engines were pushed over the

hauled out into the stream and saved, with
only partial damage. as ,ai ,sl,.a1
Considerable loss, was sustained BY
