ST. .--Oweing to some remarks Of
yours in that delectable sheet styled the
Comet (cf this late) on the veracty Of a
cot respondent Of the Cutholic Standard,
writing from this. place. feel anxious to
know what in your opinion constitutes a
gentleman I! If total disregard Tor truth,
attacking virtnons ienaleson account of
their religious opinions not coinciding with
your latitudinarian views, publication Of
bad english often obscene, and the quoting
Of bad latin occasionally. are the necessary
qualifications, then George A. Pike, you
are gentleman and scholar. in fact the
most accomplished man in Louisiana, I'M
fortunately your antecedents are too well
known to aid YOU much, your ilippancy
has become bye-word, and the Comet is

dial it contains, raise your voice my dear
Sir and cry aloud with Ba,nnH, r,ra Ia

you only to spare my feelings by spelling

you.
We seldom get out Of humor, but
must indulge ourself' this morning in
pouring out the full measure Of i'll

hand on the writer, yet we are salts.

tleman,' is. He is ono Of the fresh
arrivals, and has not had time yet, to
acquire citizenship in the corporation.
As to attacking virtuous females on
account Of their religious opinions
the charge is vile and slandorous; We
regret that any isolated paragraph
should have been taken from our pa
per, and commented upon by con-
temporary, for political purposes, that
could by any chance be construed in
to d'srespeet to our females, friends of
the catholic persuasion. Such as know
US not, may put whatever construction
upon what we say, that may suit their
purpose we cannot DO abused by
those who know us, and as the best
half Of our life has been spent here
there are, we opine, few of the c;t;.
reas Of Baton Rouge who know us.
As to abusing the English" we have
a right to do it-since it is our Native
tongue. In this, as other things, we
are Individually responsible, for all the
done. 1t comes with a bad
grace for any, but the English to de-
fend the English. AS to our anteci.

Fall Of Sebastopol.

Themost important news by the mail steam
er Sonora is from the Crimea On the Sth
September, the allied forces, (after a bonn
bardment of three days)made terrific and
final assault on the fortress of Sebastopol.-
The Rcusians retired on the night of the sth
to the north side of the town, crossing over
on raft that had been constructed for such
an emergency and which they afterwards dis
connected and carried to the north side. The
Allies were left in possession of the town,
public buildings, dock-yards, &c, The Rus
slams before evacuating the town, blew up
and destroyed a large portion of it. The
dispatch also says; The destruction Of the
last of the Russian feet in the harbor was
accomplished by the Russians. Three steam
ers alone remain" The loss Of human life
from the commencement Of the three days
bombardment to the evening of the Sth, can
not be correctly estimated from the news by
the Sonora Probably as many as 20, 900 or
$4,000 men, on all sides, were placed hors de
combat The fighting was of the most ter
rife character, the besieged and the besiegers
exhibiting the most dauntless bravery
Taken all in all, the siege of Sebastopol has
no parallel in the history Of the world The
allies probably had the finest army ever sent
into the field, and their engines of warfare
were at least two-fold more destructive than
any ever before used in beseging operations
Tho Russians, with a comparatively small
force, maintained their position for twelve
months, Notwithstanding their Notifications
(against an attack on land) were thrown up
after the siege commenced The loss of life
during the siege has been immense Nessel-
rode asserts that the Turks have lost 100, 900
men, the French 40 900, and the English 80
600 The Russian loss is not given See
how blood is spilled by the command and for
the benefit of crowned heads Had the axe
fallen "a their necks two years ago, no such
wholesalesale slaughter would have taken
place
Sebastopol has, fallen but Russia is not whip
ped--nor even crippled. She will be only
stimulated to more vigorous action. The
war has been prolonged not shortened-

The Flume Across Welsh's Flat
Orleans Hotel.

Mr. EDToR:--I was taking walk last
Sunday along the head Of Indian Gulch,
whenmy attention was attracted by the APP
pearance of an immensely tall, gaunt skel-
eton of a flume at the lower end of Welsh's
Flat / supposed that it was some monster
hydraulic, but on approaching found it to be
an aqueduct, for conveying the water of the
great Volcano ditch across the valley.
was subsequently Informed that the tiInbers
are 81 feet in height They are neatly hewed
and framed. The miners have now the pos
tive assurance that this great and vast val
liable work, will be completed by the first of
December and the whole ditch will be in
perfect running order just as soon as the
ground becomes saturated with the rains.
After leaving the aqueduct we mot your
fguratiye editorial, eve, but my compan-
ion and self, turned into an old dilapidated
log cabin to get some water of the inmates,
when we beheld long table set for dinner
Being cordially invited to partake, we sat
down, believing that we had very good
thing oft" Dinner was good-ehat agree
able and in due time we left, thanking our
host Scarcely had we got clear of the door
when we observed a large sign inscribed, "Or-
