Excitement at Baton Rouge.

A day or two since, q rich scene was enact~
ed in the House by the Introduction Of a reso-
luton, by Mr.. Roberts of New Orleans, with-
drawing the invitation previously extended to
Mr.. Mitchell, to become the guest of the State.
Mr.. Roberts based the movement upon his in
sulting and almost reasonable advice to Irish
men, to arm for the maintenance Of their
rights in America.
Shouts of order, arose from all quarters of
the House. The speakers hammer made the
halls of the Legislative chamber echo and re.
vertebrate, with the blows forcibly given to
attract the attention of the excited members.
Movements to a~djourn-to lay the resolution
on the table, followed in quick succession; the
last Of which finally prevailed by a small ma
jority. "Sam" was evidently disposed to have
some sport, and it was a matter ofinfinite mer-
riment, to see the gravity which some Of Those
who know him well, played the stranger to his
whereabouts, or his designs.
The appointments of the Governor have
startled the old line party men quite as much
as the resolution Of Mr.. Roberts. We are
happy that we can honestly say they show the
same regard for qualifications for Office and are
worthy gentlemen.-Creol.

The Importance of advertising by the Pro-

ing:
We saw a paragraph in a Virginia paper
the other day, to this effect. A gentleman
went 10 a printing Office to examine an ex-
change paper coming from a place some fifty
or hundred miles distant, with the view of dis
covering the name Of some lawyer there, to
whom he wished to confide the transaction of
some business matters Of pressing Importance.
And after running his eye carefully over the
paper, he laid it aside and rema.ksd-sWer, 1
can't find the name of a single Attorney in
that paper; and any member Of the profession
at the place alluded to, could have obtained a
fee of fifty dollars from me, by having a card
in the paper, as l would willingly have paid
that amount, rather than make the trip at this
particular time." Let every body advertise and
every body will be certain to do a good bust.
