RAcHEL.-It is now clearly demonstrated that
the great 7ragedienme, or her managers, have set
their pegs altogether too high The concentrated
aristocracy of New York cannot sustain her, and
it is fixed fact that, unless the prices are lowered
failure will ensue. Rachel has not yet had an over
flowing, or even full house, and in consideration
Of the price Of admission, IS, we confess we are
not at all sorry for it.

AMERICAN BARBECUE BELOW LocKPoRr.-
There was barbecue given by the American
party, at Noise Guedry's Store, about twenty
five miles below Lockport, in this parish, on
Tuesday last, the 18th inst. The number of
persons present was between $50 and 800,
seventy odd of which number were ladies. The
meeting was addressed in English by Col. ]. s..
Williams, and in French by L. Duvigneaud
Esq. The greatest harmony and enthusiasm
prevailed Dinner over, tweny-three were in
troduced to "sam," and promise to battle
manfully in his behalf from now until Novem-
Der. At night the newly initiated made up
pony purse, and concluded the ceremonies Of
the day in ''tips of the fantastic toe" There
is no denying the fact that "sam" is daily
gaining ground in Old Lafourche, and we can
almost promise our State Ticket majority in
November next. This is modest We might
have said more, but cannot say less.

New YORK AT THE PRESENT TIME.-New York
at the present time is full Of life and gay, hustle
and business, The Journal of Commerce says:
'Our city is just at the food.tide Of the bus
mess season. The streets and hotels are crowded
and the entire city teens with life and activity
Steamboats, and railroads. from every direction
come crowded with passengers and the hotels are
busy from morning till night with the continual ar
rivals and departures The following was the num-
Der Of guests at some Of the principal hotels last
Tuesday noon:
"The St. Nicholas, 1000; the Metropolis.
$50; the Aston House, $50; the New York Hose!
400 the Irving house, 400; the Howard House
$50; the United States Hotel, l3O-making total
of $3.50.
There are large number Of smaller hotels that
are also crowded with visiters. Add to these tho
numerous clearinghouse which ACCOMMODATE
hundreds of guests, and some idea may be formed
of the crowd Of strangers now in New York. Tho
fall trade, thus far has, in some Of its branches
been unusually large. Many houses are selling
double the usual quantity of goods. The dry.gooo
dealers are particularly busy. Some OF the lareo
iobing houses are compelled 70 work the entl1:
night, in order to pack and ship the goods sosa
through the day." -

Gov PRICE AND DDoUBLE TRAcKs.-It seems
that Gov. Price, Of New Jersey, in his inaugural
address, delivered eighteen months ago. took strong
ground in favor of double tracks for the railroads Of
that State. He said, emphatically, that all roads
authorized to carry passengers should be compelled
to lay adoube track for security against accidents
This excellent advice was repeated at the common,
cement Of the last session of the Legislature.

MR. CLAY ON SLAvERY.-"I repeat it, sir,
never can, and never will, and no earthly power
will make me vote directly or indirectly to
spread slavery over any territory where it does
not exist. Never, while reason has seat in
my brain-never while my heart sends the
vital fluid through my brain-.sper"
The above paragraph which has been going
the rounds Of the press, the Louisville Journal
says was never uttered by Mr.. Clay, and gives
the following as what he did say on the subject:
81 am extremely sorry to hear the Senator
from Mississippi say that he requires first, the
extension of the Missouri Compromise line to
the Pacific, and also that he is not satisfied
with that, but requires, if l understood him
correctly a positive provision for the admission
of Slavery south of that line. And now, sir,
coming from slave State, as do, owe it to
myself owe it to truth, owe it to the subject
to say that no earthly power could induce me
to vote for specific measure for the introduc-
ton of slavery where it had not before existed,
either south or north of that line.
If the citizens Of the territories Of California
and New Mexico choose to establish slavery
and if they come here with constitutions estab-
fishing slavery, am for admitting them with
such provisions in their constitutions, but then
it will be their own work, not ours" etc.

COL HUNT.-The Boston Atlas, commenting
upon the contents of pamphlet written by
Phocion," (whom the Atlas suspects to be COL
HUNT in reply to the letter of Senator BENJAMIN,
pays the following compliment to the late member
of the Second Congressional District:
We wish that the South had more men possessed
of the moderation and good sense which charac-
terizes this writer; and would often send them to
the national councils There would then be less
bad feeling, b, cause there would be less wrong
and both sections of the country respecting all the
rights of each other, would secure by justice and
liberation that harmony and peace which all true
patriots so ardently desire.

Harry TO HEAR rive stated, few days
ago, in reply to the Courier, on the subject Of
the religious test in the Philadelphia platform,
that Alabama was about to disavow that in
tolerant feature. The Mobile Advertiser copies
our remarks, says they are erroneous. and adds
the following gratifying information:
The American party Of Alabama never &C.
knowledged the religious test. but on the con-
trary distinctly and emphatically rspadiated
everything in the National organization, look
ing that way. The order was introduced here
from Louisiana, on precisely the same prin-
ciples o obtained there, and in the very act Of
the State council allying itself with the Nation
q council. The broadcast ground was assumed in
favor Of liberty Of conscience and Of religion.
and against any attempted interference there
with, directly or indirectly, by the American
party. So We contend Alabama has nothing
to disaUos respecting religious test, so far as
her acts are concerned
alabama therefore i rightrside up, with Lou.

other Statsa.

GENERAL WoLL.-This distinguished individual,
late commander of the Northern forces of the late
Mexican Government, says the Crescent, arrived in
New Orleans Saturday last on his way it is said,
to join Santa Anna in Carthagena. The General,
we are informed, is Frenchman, and entered
services under the Mexican standard many years
ago, in pursuance Of advice rendered him by our
General Scott, whom, rumor says, he is about to
visit They were both, at the time that advice was
given, somewhat younger than at present, and have
both, no doubt, obtained some valuable expert
mental knowledge regarding military matters as
pertaining to Mexico.
Gen Vol has proved himself not only one Of
most able officers Of the Mexican army, but what is
more rare in Mexican leaders, faithful and loyal to
those who employed him. BE showed every dis
position to fghtit out to the last and unquertion
ably would have done so had not the addiction and
flight Of His Serene Highness rendered it unneces-
sary. There is little doubt that the revolutonists
would have found the job Of subduing and defeat
ing the General and his troops the most severe of
the whole business. 8@K
