DAN RIeE,s-Madame Tournaire continues
at Dams, and if the will of the people can be
Judged by the manner in which they attend her
performances, We think it probable the fair
equestrienne will find herself desired to stay
longer than she has bargaiued for.
Unfortunately, however, for the popular will,
Dan has prepared new attraction, destined
shortly to succeed Madame Tournaire and her
inimitable troupe. "Uncle Toms Cabin is to
be produced shortly from new drama written
expressly for this city, and when it is performed
the world and his wife will throng to see it as a
matter of course.

Correspondence of tbf GrFsrtnt.
BATON RouGE, Feb 2S 1854
In the House to-day Mr. Jordan submitted a
resolution for the establishment of quaran-
tine somewhere below the city Of New Orleans.
He said it was q national affair, and necessary
TO prevent the spread Of yellow fever and other
contagious diseases, and desired that our Senat-
ors in Congress be instructed, and our Repre-
sentatives requested, to obtain an appropriation
from the General Government for that purpose.
The Committee to whom was referred the re-
solution of Mr.. Campbell to exempt from taxation
the Odd Fellows Hall in the city of New Or
leans, reported unfayorably on said resolution.
The Committee the Judiciary, to whom was
referred the resolutions Of Mr.. Roberts in relation
| to Cuba, and the course Of the Administration
in relation to the same, reported them back to
| the House without expressing any opinion upon
the subject They were made the order of the
day for Thursday next, when, no doubt, there
will be some speeches made for Buncomb,
The Senate have concurred in the bill of the
House authorizing the city of New Orleans to
issue its bonds to the New Orleans and Jackson
and also the New Orleans and 0pelousas Rail
roads. A bill was reported by the Judiciary
Committee authorizing Clerks of courts to hon.
ologate the proceedings in cases of insolvency,
also to settle the accounts Of tutors, curators
etc. Also q bill authorizing the Governor Of
| the State to appoint Notaries Public in the
several Parishes.
| A bill of the Senate, appropriating the sum Of
$15 900 for the reliefof the veterans of 1914 and
| 10, was taken up, and. after much discussion
was laid upon the table.
The House also passed the bill reserying from
sale the swamp lands on the Bayou Lafourohe
for limited period
This bill contemplates certain improvements,
by which these lands will be much enhanced in
value, and to prevent them from falling into
the hands of spectators, until these improve
ments completed.
The Senate was occupied until a late hour in
the discussion of the Swamp Land bill, This
bill proposes to create fourth district also the
appointment of an engineer, and other officers
that may be necessary to carry out the pro
| visions of the law. The debate was on the
question whether these officers shall be appointed
| by the Governor, or chosen by the people resi-
ding in the district, There is also proposition
| in favor of abolishing the Board of Swamp LANE
| Commissioners, and investing the State Engi
| neer with power to appoint such officers as may
| be necessary to carry out the provisions Of thu
| law There is much difference Of opinion OF
the subject, and it will be very difficult t.
reconcile the conflicting views Of the ditferen
| Senators.
A motion was made to re-commit the bill t
the Committee on Internal improvements, whiel
| was lost. The question was then on the frs
section of the bill offered by Mr., King, pending
| the discussion on which the Senate adjourned
so that the whole subject will be open to debat

g MURDERS MosT Foul. Our friend of that
4 z Comet at Baton Rouge, which, like others Of
lts name, is much more remarkable in its tail
than in its head, makes a violent attack upon
us, as guilty of all sorts of homieidal Inventions
for the purpose Of filling our paper and sending
our readers to bed, like Lady Macbeth, SO as to
s Fill them frnm The crown 10 the toe, topfall
OF dmest cruelty
In short, he charges US with being guilty of a
great waste of human life. for the mere purpose
of shaking the blood thrstiness of set of readers
quite as atrucious as ourselves
Now, as to all this, we hold up our hand and
put ourselves upon jury of our oountrymen
avering that We never yet have committed the
slightest manslaughter in our columns, except
such as come to us ready made by bullet, blud-
geon, fist, club, etc. and therefore we defy the
Comet or any conscious or unconscious star
to come to the proof.
On the other hand we retort the accusation
and charge the g Comet with many assaults
and much murder-the assaults being upon
editorial courtesy, and the murders, those o
the English language.

THE .NEBRasK.a BILL.

We have read all the speeches, me resoiu-
lions tho newspaper articles that have come
- - ~ tho Nebraska question Now, we
should like to know what stephen a. oouglas
has ever done that approaches to the herolcai
patr;otism Of that dismal course OF study
saIf.deyotcd man, we flung ourselves, like
curtius Of old, into the yawning gulf Of this
ssnseless discussion flung ourselves in, out OF
mere public zeal, and without hope OF finding,
as we foundered through that vast ehasm OF
understanding, that deep abyss of impolicy
one sound idea to stand or even hoat upon. II
that great slush, that mighty wash, that pro
found mud hole, that endless puddle, that Ser
bonians bog Of politics, neither land nor water
sswhere armies whole have SUNK and would
sink forever .NN
We leaped into this vortex with some ideas
Of our own. We have found not new one
there, except this, which did not belong to the
place, but was our own conclusion there-that
rogues had got up the discussion, and that fools
were carrying it on.
Suppose the North carry its point, what VIII
it gets What Nature has already gwen H. anu
legislation can't take away. Nebraska mhst
be Free State.
Suppose the South prevail what will it
take. The barren privilege Of opening, to
few slave holders, a soil where their slaves will
be set free as soon as it shall rise into a State
What then, is gained anywhere: At best
only a general political confusion, in a countr.
where there was already grand surplus vas
turmoil about nothing; an aggravation Of abun
dant i'll blood; a most perilous hazarding Of tn
best Of all things, the Union.
We say then, that if, in any respectable
beayer-dan. hlest with as much soeisl intel
1genee, as such a qnaaruped commonwealth
usually contains, there was not common sens
enough 10 put down such dispute, its beaver
would deserve to be damned.

A PLEASANT DAY.-Yesterday was one of the
most beautiful, balmy, pleasant and spring like
days we have been favored with during the pre-
sent season. The sun was out in all his bril-
iiancy, painting groteseue figures and casting
singular shadows on every side as ably as at any
period previous to that when Daguerre compile
ted his instruction and perfected his talent
The breezes were gentle and summary and re-
viyed old recollections of dinners at the lake
and moonlight drives homeward. The ladies'

dressed as beautifully as butterflies and mani

really arrived Farewell to coal and cold

~- The Ma: ion Star gives an account
of a shocking murder in that District, by
one Moses Harrelson ou the person of Ev-
ans A. Rodgers. We learn from the Star,
that Harrelson had some time previously
been arrested on the charge Of assault, and
other outrages, and Mr.. David Gibson be-
came one of his sureties on his recognizance
to appear Mt Court On Sunday the 18th,
it came TO the knowledge of Mr.. Gibson
that Harrelson was making preparations to
leave the State He procured the services
Of the deceased (Mr. Rodgers and Mr..
Leggett, and the three proceeded to arrest
Harelson. They succeeded in arsesting
him, and were taking him to jail, when Leg.
gett who complained of cold, left him in
charge of Gibson and Rodgers. Shortly
after Leggett left, lIarreIson jumped from
his horse intending to escape. Rodgers fol-
lowed him and got murdered. Gibson in
descending from bis horse, got his feet en-
tangled some way, and reached Harrelson
only in time 10 receive several blows, and to
see bis assistant expire. Harrelson fed, but

Advertising.

We have before called the attention Of
the mercantile community and Others, to the
benefit resulting from judirious cosrsc OF
advertising. Sometime ago, we read in n
New York paper, that Hotel proprietor
in that city. from n large respectable Gus.
tom, had so dwinlled down that his custom
did not pay his actual current expcnces.--
He found that this state Of things conId not
continne; he would soon he reduced 70
Penury. While in this nnenyiable state of
mind, he called on friend, and consulted
him as to the course he should pursue. -
Said the friend "Adrerlise Advertise ~
Accordingly the Hotel keeper adverti-
sed in several pHpers, at a cost Of some
three or four hundred dollars. His house
was what he promised in his advertisement
first class hotel. What wns the conse-
quence? The travelling community soon
found him ont. his house was thronged with
visitors from all sections Of the couniry.-

only one instance. We have read of Others
and some have come under our own obser.
vation.

sell, and you DiH sell. Did a man ever
make any thing by hiding his light under

Tn the present work we find biographical
sketches Of the "noticeable meu" Of the
present age. Daniel Webster, Henry Clay,
John G. Calhoun, Edward Everett, Fl. w.
Beechcr, Abbott Lawrence, p. T. Barnum
and other notables of the time, have places
in the picture. Whether the author in
noticing the character and public course of
each, is correct in his opinions, the reader
must determine. For our p;rt, we have an
objection. arising from The fact of the nu-
thor being. if not nm abolitionist, at all
events one violently opposed to the perpe-
tuity of American slavery.
Although Mr.. Calhoun is commended for
consistency and moral department, he is con-
| demned for Advocating the slavery system.
We do not coincide with the author in the
| opinion, that Mr.. Calhoun's efforts and Ia
bors were for his own State alone. "John
c. Calhoun" he says, ''was a sectional Sena-
tor-Sourh Carolina was so vast in his eye,
that he could never look beyond its bounda-

the literary abilities of John Mitchell, bu
condemns him for having I'm opinion on rh,

expressing that opinion in favor Of tn,

Among other incidents connected with :,

the sailor did SO, but when the passenger
