GEORGE A. PIKE,
THIS La. INSTITUTE FOR rAE DEA,

The LA. INSTITUTE FOR TAE DEAR,
THE DUNN, AND THE BL1rD.--Ihe new
building for this institution is gradu-
ally rising out Of the ground, and
when completed in accordance with
the plan, will be lasting monument
Of the munifcence Of the age. A well
drawn plan Of the building may be
seen il the Office Of the Branch Of the
Ia. State Bank. It will necessarily
take much time to complete q build
ing 80 large and elaborate in the
meantime the College buildings now
occupied by the intuition though
cramped, may be made to serve. Visi-
tors to the institution, express the ut
most satisfaction, at the manner in
which it is conducted, indeed a sup
erior to Mr.. Brown in all the requisi-
tes for the management Of such an in
stitution. cannot be found in the
Union.
EFAt least two days in every
week are lost on account of the want
Of quorum, arising from members
leaving Baton Rouge for the city,
Natchitoches Chronicle, 1lfh inst.
That's fact, Mr.. Nstchitoches
Chronicle of the 18th inst Had you
have said flour out Of six YOU would
have come nearer the truth. But we
refer you to the picture Of Daniel in
the den Of lions, in another column Of
to-days paper. You will see, that Van
Amburgh will be here shortly, and we
learn from credible authority, that a
bill will be introduced for his "relief,"
and proposition made to keep the
show here, at the expense ofthe "Gen-
eral Fund.-" for the balance Of the
Legislative season. Thus you see, that
amusements will be provided by law !;
If that Is what is wanted. But we
are inclined to think. that there is
other amusements besides that afford
ed by the Elephant, which our repre-
sentatives desire amusements that
can only be found in the good morals
Of the commercial emporium. What
think you, Mr.. Natchitoches Chronicle
of the lth instl Are we to presume
when you say the Capital should be
sent back to Congo Square, that this
is the expression Of the united senti-
ment Of your people 7 We, in the sapi
ent simplicity of our own soul, (pre-.
missing all the time, that we have a
soul) incline to the latter conviction.
Van .Amburg's show, is the best ami
NAL show, afoat, and as it revisits us
for the benefit Of the Legislature, we
do hope that our city brethren of the
Press, will find something else to abuse,
us about than the lack Of amusements.
n-Were the Hall Of the House as
large again, it would be crowded, to
listen to the three celebrated artists,
then and there to appear. In common
with many Of our citizens we regret
chat they do not stay longer, so as to
afford an opportunity to citizens in
the vacinity Of the city to enjoy the
feast. H
1t is not expected Of us, to enter at
lcngh iuto the merits Of each one Of
these justly celebrated artists. The
public press from one end Of the
Union to the other. rebound to their
praise. The Hall will be crowded at
an early hour tomorrow night and
persons desiring good seats should 60
early.

ANNIVERSARY BALL.--We under

in our city to perpetrate the memory
