10 John B. Cough, the great tenn
perance lecturer stated recently in a
speech in London, that out of 500, 900
persons who had signed the pledge in
the United States $50, 900 had broken
it. AS the editor of the Planters
Banner, very truly remarks: "Such
facts give color to the directors to all
such pledges, and afford them an or
portunity to compare the sin Of break
inga solemn promise with that of in
temperance. Well may we ex-
claim By,onically:
''Oh man thou feeble tenant Of an hour,
Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power;
Thy love Is lust, thy friendship all cheat,
Thy smiles hypocracy, and thy words deceit"

The DAILY BATON ROUGE GAZETTE
We notice with pleasure the improved
appearance of this sterling old Wing
Journal. The GAZETTE came out yes
terday morning in an entire new
dress, cut to the latest pattern. Du
ring nearly a ha'f century, the Ga.
zErrE has stood, "dignifed in firm.
ness" as liberal Wing Journal
Nearly quarter century we have been
a constant reader Of its pages, and
have always found it, ready and will
ling to express itself on every matter
Of national policy, without any fear Of
loosing its cast and character with To-
cal partizans. In all questions Of To-
cal interest, it has ever spoken freely,
giving expression to one Independent
opinion at least. If our neighbor has
been wrong, it is no doubt pleasant
reflection to him that "others, UMPIRE
JUDGED have been with him in his er-
ror" During the half century Of the
Gazette's existence, it has maintained,
its dignifed character. Though some
of its early editors squared their poll
teal notions to suit the paper, the pa
per itself as before said, has remained
unaltered. It is to the present enter
prising editor and proprietor that we
are indebted for daily issue, and from
the bottom Of our soul (premising it
has bottom) we wish him all man
ner Of success.

Gently desired to know the most COM
mon cause of enlistmcnts. BY per-
mission of the Captain of a company
containing ffty-fve, the writer in a
pledge never to disclose the name of
any officer or private, except as a
physical or metaphysical fact, the true
history was obtained of every man.
On investigation, it appeared that nine
tenths enlisted on account of same fe-
male difficulty; thirteen of them had
changed their names, and forty three
were either drunk or partly SO, at the
time Of their enlistment. Most Of
them were men of fine talents and
learning, and about one-third had
once been in elevated situations in
life four had been lawyers, three doc
tors, and two ministers.
