WHAT BECOMES OF Mules p
There is yexed question in reference
to vessels, that seems to have puzzled
al the newspaper editors; and as it
has become last, in "the press of other
matters, We propose another. The
question has been "'vhat becomes of
all the vessels? The question is,
"What becomes of all the mules 2"
Mules form the staple product, of
Kentucky and Tennessee, and there
is not a season that does not bring
down droves. Now, what becomes of
them? Do they actually wear out :?
Do they become weak aud decrepid
with old age, and lay down and die ?
If so, what becomes of the hide and
tallow Come, phi losophers and poli'-
ical economists, take up the question
and let US know what becomes of
mules.

Blacks" AND THE WASHINGTON
MoNUMENT-A good story is told OF
the Yallabusha chieftain, "Bricks. "
who is by grace of the President,
Pierce, and certainly not with the con-
sent of his party Or the people, Post
master Of this city. Bricks made his
appearance, on Monday last, at the
sixth precinct, for the purpose of de-
posting his voice. As the election
was contest in which few cared whp
whipped, there was but little scrutiny
by the judges or investigating com
mittees as regarded the qualification
of votres. and Bricks, though not con-
sidered a resident of this State, wa
permitted to drop a ticket in the ballot
box. A box to receive contributions
to the Washington Monument was
Placed conspicuously at the sixth pre-
cinct poll. The judges and by-stand-
ers, feeling certain that the Yallabushs
chieftain would be as liberal in his
contributions as they were towards
him, in permitting him to vote, called
his attention to the box, but he,
Indignantly gave it go-bye. As he
strutted off, rollicking "son of the
sod gave him the feryent blessing of
bad luck to you, Bricks. You have
done to the Washington Monument
what you would do to an enemy-you
have turned your back on it."

The Times have Changed.

Some fifteen Years ago-and the
memory thereof is treasured up-it
was not uncommon for eight Or ten
steamboats, to pass this place each
day Of the week; going to, and COM
ing from the great commercial Empor-
ium Of the everlasting Mississippi
The scene has strangely changed since
then. Now, it is not uncommon for
the weary traveller who Is BY the odd
chance caught on the levee" Of this
emporium Of daily newspapers and
other light literature; to have to
sit Desirable his dry goods box"
and look a week for an ''up-country
boat" What is the cause Of this
and where have all the boats gone to 2
The question involves the agricultural
and commercial interest Of the whole
southern section Of the Union. It is
time people who have the interest Of
the State at heart; should be encuir-
ing into the influences that have been
brought to bear in other quarters, to
drive steamboats, out ofthe Mississippi,
which, in importance as a channel for
trade is fast dwind!ing into insigni6-
canoe. What are they! In the fist
place, there some people who will
have the temeaity to doubt the fact, of
the decrease of boats. To such, we
Can say, gentlemen you are new COM
ers to Baton Rouge, you have no right
to be classed with the ancient inhabi-
tants." Wecan recollect the time
within the last quarter century, when
the towns ears were enlivened by night
and by day, with the gruf voice of
the ancient persian" making the
woods revibrate with the echo of her
scape pipe and paddle wheel. Then
you could hear the water crafts ten
miles by silent moonsLiue. Now sir,
is true, the modern "upper-cabin-aII-
-in-State-roons" contraptions, are diff
ferent; and steal on us, like the mid
night thief. And it may be said
''there are as many boats, but they do
not make so much ado in passing"
But then, tell us, why it is, the man
sits on his trunk at the landing from
lay to day, and sometimes week to
week, in the vain effort to discover
some craft to take him up the river?
There is no way to solve the problem,
Unless you 60 into the North or the
West, and take look at the railroad
operatives: which are not impeded by
ow water or freezings, or anything
t is on these roads. that new and
'asy channels for trade are found,
With which the steamboat, and the
mighty Mississippi can never compete.

This measure causes much anxiety
in Europe, and the result is looked fol
