We should have thought their American re-
finement, too nice, and sensitive, to allow them
to make so wide mistake. Why have our
contemporaries resorted to this unwise, and un-
called-for course of conduct IL 1t because
their party cause is growing desperate in this
Parish, the state, or the nationY Or is it be-
cause I" their fund Of augmentation has be-
come exausted" We should think all these
together would not Justify such departure
from the common courtesies due from, one gen.
tleman to another The editors of the Amer
lean Patriot know full well that the writer of
the article to which they refer, is as honorable
and high-minded gentleman, as they can pos
siby boast to be themselves and so far from
speaking disparagingly of Capt Comstock, the
reverse is true.
So far as the writer of this article knows,
and believes, Capt Comstock is held in the high.
est respect by all parties in the parish. His
qualifications for the Office Of Sheriff is second
to ne mans, let him be whig, democrat or
know nothing. We are not his culogist, and
should not have supported him, had he been
the nominee Of the k. n. party, but at the same
time we should have been gratificd to know
that If our man was not elected, the Office was
in the hands Of man SO competent to iii it
as VIC know him to he. Your assertion that
we would vote for the most miserable foreign
er in our parish, who makes his livelihood by
selling whiskey to our negroes, and cheating
them out of stolen corn,' before such a man
is most gratuitous and unfounded. The demo
cratic doctrine, is to Judge Of a man according
to his qualifications and merits as such, an,
not according to the accident of his place 0
birth. In this assertion OF our friends of th
= American Patriot" we believe they ar
measuring our corn, by their own bushc"-
They have taken an oath to vote for none bn
native born Americans and hence, if the mos
competent and virtuos naturalzcd citizen wa
, opposed by the most miserable "Native Amer
ican' in our Parish, who makes his livchoo
by selling whiskcy to negroes, &c. he would b
obliged to vote for the latter Those that liv
in glass houses should never throw stones.
We have bound ourselves under no such OF
legations and never will. We are free to vot
, according to the dictates Of our own conscenc
and we intend to remain so. No man or sc
of men shall ever have it in their power to di'
:, tate to us how We shall cast our vote. Can til

Minerva" who own half interest in this
paper. to take charge of the mechanical
department of the same, we have con-
cluded to devote our leisure moments to
its editorial columns.
Though this paper does not present as
neat typographical appearance as we
could wish. we urge in extenuation and
by way of apology. that this is simply an
experiment if it proves successful, and
we find that our efforts in establishing
journal at Houma are seconded by our
Pensioners, we will then be disposed to
make more extensive outlay, with a
view both of charging its size and other
wise improving its typographical appear

strained to acknowledge the force of the
adage which teaches the child to crawl

THE LARGEs1TREE IN THE WORLD

THE LARGEs1TREE IN THE WORLD
The dimensions of the large California
tree are given as follows: 81 feet diane
ter at the base, 1852 feet in height; 16O
feet to the first branch. The bark was
taken off the trunk to the height of ll6
feet and landed at New York in good con.
dition. The thickness of the bark near
the ground is said to be about Is inches.
The ancient poets spoke of trees in India
so high that it was out of the power OF
the most expert archer to shoot an arrow
to the top Of hem. Virgil said of the
(" Aesculus - hat it sent its roots as far
towards Tart:rus as it extended its up
permost branches towards Heaven. We
think the disoverers Of the Washing
tonea Gigantea {the name given to the
giant tree of California; would find upon
trial that its riots extend 800 feet deep in
the ground.
1t seems almost incredible that any tree
should grow p the height Of 1853 feet. The
tallest expresses or pines in this country
rarely exceed $50 feet in height.

To the Public.

| consider it due to my readers at the
outset of my editorial career, TO express to
them the principles upon which this paper
will be conducted.
1t is my present intention-and an in
tention which will exert my utmost en-
deavors to carry QUITO devote this paper
to the general interest of the parish of
Terrebonne. In order more etfectuallv
to cary out this intention, it behooves me
to discard from its columns everything OF
local political character yet whenever
occasion requires that | should breach the
subject Of politics, to do so OIL broad and
general grounds only. Ireserve this pri-
vilege in view of the impossibility of rem
dering any journal interesting, wherein
a subject which daily engages the interest
Of community and the attention of the
public, is entirely excluded from its col
umns.
This paper being established on purely
independent grounds, all communications,
therefore, of purely political character,
will be inserted as mere advertisements
and charged as such, when accompanied
by responsible or reliable name. We
do not, however, intend to exclude commu-
nications whose peculiar literary merit
will entitle them to a place in our col
umns: all such will be acceptable at all
times, and will readily receive an inser-
ton free of charge. E. w. BLAKE.
Houma Ceres. [volume] (Houma, Parish of Terrebonne, La.) 1855-18??, 1855-07-19
To Agricultural Writers.

The editor of the Ceres intends that a
portion of the paper shall be devoted to
articles of an agricultural nature, original
and practical in their character. 1t will
be our effort to furnish our readers with Sc
lections from the best and most useful ag-
ricultural journals in the country.
We invite regular contributions from
the planters generally throughout the
country, giving the results of their own
practical experience, observation and re-
Election.
The mutual interest of the Planters
themselves-for each one can furnish the
other with something Of value, and thus
make fair exchange of benefits-should
be sufficient to induce all to note down from
time to time their ideas and experiences,
and send them to US as " ight for all. :"
There are doubtless very numerous ready
and accomplished writers among our agri-
culturists; but it is not only from these,
but every practical man of ordinary intelli-
gence and experience, that we would be
gratified to hear-let his productions be
clothed in ever SO homely garb, his facts
may be none the less valuable, and in this
case we will endeayor to do them annie
Justice.
