Withdrawals.

The anti-Americans had q barbecue and
speech-making at Houma, in the parish of Ter
rebonne, not long since. The great guns Of the
party-Messrs. Bush, Heron, Beatty and Ro-
man-exploded with treme ndeous force, throw
ing hollow shot, round shot, red-hot shot shells,
and all manner of destructive projectiles into
the ranks of the Americans, who, however,
faced the music" with coolness and deter
mination becoming the defenders of Sevasto-
pol.
The consequences of the terrific onslaught
OF these gentlemen may be summed up as fol.
lows: killed, none; wounded, none, scared,
none, deserted, none;

Obituary..
PoRr HuDsoN, Sent. 10. 1,

FORT HUDSON, Sept. TO, 1855.
Departed this life on Saturday the 18th of
August, 1856, of yellow fever, Mr.. JOSEPH
BLOOM, brother of our worthy townsn,al,,
Lazarus Bloom. The deceased was born in
Germany and emig,ated to this country about
two years and half previous to his death, up
to which time he had resided in this town,
where he had won the respect and esteem of
all who knew demonstrating, as he did, all
the elements ola good citizen and gentleman.
He was brave and magnanimous, social and re-
spectful, and all sorrow at the void created by
his demise; and what adds more deeply to the
poignancy of this afflction is, that few DAYS
before he was attacked, he received the joyful
tidings that his aged father and mother had ar
rived in the United States, following their chill
dren to their adopted home, and the anticipa-
ted delight in soon seeing them, safe in this
land of freedom, has been thus cut of. Who
that has an aged father and mother far away,
can contemplate the mortifying disappointment
of his aged parents on their arrival here, with
out dropping a sympathetic tear with them.
when they shall realize the fact that their
youngest and favorite son is no more-that his
manly form lies cold in death. moudering back
to its original element. and his young spirit
gone up to Him who gave it. But why mourn.
we too must die-sufficc it, that all that human
agency could invent was done, while his last
hours were hallowed by the presence of affec-
tion and tenderness in the persons of a devoted
brother and loving sisters, who sinoothed the
rugged path of death as much as possible, but
all efforts proved abortive-he has closed his
career and gonc from whence there is no re-
turn. He was truly San Israelite in whom
was no guile NJ
