Raleigh Register.
The Register is much pestered in spirit because
its X. n brethren of the North and West, insist on
holding the X. n. national Convention at early
day as the 22d of February. The Editor fears
long campaign-his candidates might become too
aoeU kno,on to the people, and thus be defeated.
The extract, above given, from that journal, is
rich and not only So but is both decent and chart
table. This thing ''blackenng' character amounts
to but little Gen. jackson, Mr.. Polk, and Gen.
Pierce all through that process at the hands of
Wing and abolition orators and presses, and were
still triumphantly elected. Gov. Reid was served
the way by the Register and its allies of this
State and yet he twice elected to the office of
Governor and is now a United States Senator. The
Register distrusts the people, and mistakes their
character. They not so easily operated upon or
deceived as that journal supposes.

The FeloM Father and his Child.

! On the appeal docket of the Supreme
Court of this State may be found the case
soldier named Wilson, who is at presen;
under sentence of death for killing fellow
soldier. The offence was committed a,
Baton Rouge, where Wilson is now in pri,
son, and his wife and two children have,
since "the trial. occupied rude tene.
tnent near the Jail in which he has been
confined. To this fond wife and TO these
trusting children the condemned feion has
shown true touches of nature, while to all
Ielse he has been stern, stubborn and un-
feeling man.
What cared he for the world? The
stain Of blood was on his hands, and no
washing could make them white to the
worlds censorious eye. Even to his own
eye, perchance, there was a slammed
spot" which would not ''out;" but to the
trustful eyes Of his wife and children, his
letters were no disgrace, and his hand
were not unclean, For these fond ones
he had place in his heart, small,
warm spot, over which the fostering sores
Of sin had not entirely encroached. They
could still love him, and he love them-all
else in the world was dark, dreary void.
During the long summer months, when
the angel Of death was broad over this
Southern land, the damp cell of the priso-
ner was rendered brightes for few mo-
ments each day by the presence of his
wife and often and often at nightiall, his
little daughter-a fond young thing of but
four sun,mer-would beg to be left with
her father in the dark, aad would sing to
him tiny song Of hope as she lay beside
MIN on his rude prison bed.
And there the farther and the child-the
one so sinful and the other so sinless-
talked to each other during nights dull
watches, and those little songs which were
sang by the innocent one grew dearer and
dearer TO the teion father. The child be-
came the teacher OF the man, and war.
mer grew the interrupted spot in the stub.
born Students heart as the little teacher
spoke to him in words Of childish wisdom
and sang her childish songs.
But the dark, damp cell was no fitting
place for one so tender in years as was the
telon's daughter, and at length a shadow
fell upon her from the death-angeps wing
and she could no longer visit her father in
bis damp, grated dungeon.
She sickened, and she died! |

CaSsls rsss:s shell Read,

W, notice that the question Of forming
!" Canal and Shell Road Company" for
the purpose of, improving the .errebonne
Canal. ard constructing a Shell Road be-
tween ..ouma and Thibodaux, is exciting
considerable interest in the minds of the
people. 4 writer in the 'i'hibolaux Mi
nerva, Of Saturday last. goes into details
.es TO the advantages arising from the
enterprise, and shows, conciusively, we
think. that it would be one Of the most
"usei tad u5e.n,'' works Of the kind il
al I.ouisnna,''a and sever profitable
investment to the stockholders" This
question is Of nlomentous Importance to
the citizens Of the Parish, and especially
the planters below the railroad, as it
vii. give them "a certain means OF getting
their crops TO New Orleans at any time
they choose TO forward them" besides. it
will be 10 the Stockholders an instant
source &C revenue. The scheme, accor-
dinr 10 the writer in the Minerva, is to
form company with seventy-fye or one
h,lat,red thousand dollars stock, for the pur-
pose Of improving th9 navigation OF the
I'errehonne, and building upon lis banks
Shell Road. It's proposed tia; the lat
ter be constructed from the revenues ari.
siag from the former. and it IS commended
that at the same lime The road is being
built, the canal will pay not only the ex-
penses OF lis construction, bu: yield very
handsome profit to the stockholders. on the
money already invested. Thus you would
not only be receig;ng profit on your
investment, hut constructing, without fur
Their outlay, work that would yield al
enormous per cent, Of itself. besides be.
inc tan ornament to the parish, and add
Ing value to your property.
What say our citizens to this measure?
Are they ready for the question? Or are
you going to continue trudging through
mud, hub deep, with half a load, when
you can have thoroughfare through
which you viii, at all times, be accessible
to MARKET We believe that this thing Of
Shell Road viii be carried cut, some-
time. and we can see no plausible reason
for delay. Ills useless to say that the
money is not at command, or that you are
afraid OF the investment. Weknow there
are planters in our. parish who are able
to subscribe Ten or fifteen thousand dol
lars TO these Improvements, without feel
ing any Inconvenience, and we believe
them to be men of too good sense not to
see that It is one of the best investments
they can make. We would Ike 10 hear
from some of our planters in regard to
:. this matter.
