TRUTH STRANGER THAN FIcTIoN.-As an Illus
tration that some of our merchants Sell at cheaper
rates than those of New Orleans, we are knowing
to the fact that female acquaintance Of our better
halt, resident of the Crescent City, during the
past week forwarded her certain amount Of
money to do some shopping for her in our young
city. She further informs us that the goods were
obtained at from twenty-five to thirty per centum
cheaper than the same articles could have been
purchased for in New Orleans. In face Of
these facts, what have those merchants Of ours to
say, who prophesied that Thibodaux would be
totally ruined so soon as the railroad connected
with New Orleans! Echo answers what?
Thibodaux minerva. [volume] (Thibodaux, La.) 18??-1858, 1855-04-21

MORE CANDIDATEs.-The Louisiana DEM
ocrat, published at Alexandria, runs up the
name of John NJ. Sandidge, Of Bossier, and the
National of Plaquemines, that of A. S. Heron,
present Secretary Of State, as democratic can
didates for Governor at the November election.
Geo. A. Pike, editor OF the Baton Rouge Comet,
is the favortie Of the American Sentinel, Jack
son, for the same office. L. j. segur present
Register of the Land Office, Baton Rouge, is
also spoken of by some of his friends in several
of the country journals as the democratic fill
buster candidate for that high station.
Really, candidates are becoming almost as
thick as black birds in the blowing season.

that our old friend VIM c. Marshall, formerly Of

Justice of the u S., has opened first class hotel at
Alexandria He has lately been to New Orleans
and laid in such supplies as will enable him to en-
terrain his guests in style of sumptuousness not
to be surpassed Lafourche friends visiting Red

is wherever W. c. Marshall is you may swear that
there is good cheer about.

FIRE IN OPELoUsAs.-We learn from an

town on the previous night destroying two
buildings, one occupied by Mr.. J. Couret, coffee
house keeper, and the other by Mr.. Pefferhorn,
shoemaker, and Mrs. Pigeon, Millner; all OF
whom experienced heavy losses. tits supposed
that the fire was the work of an incendiary.
