June the oath, in East Baton Rouge Parish, Mrs.
Nettlcs, in the 22nd year of her age.
Mrs. Nettles was the daughter of S. w. Newport
and lady, members of the Baptist Church. She
had early impressions of piety, and far had the
precepts and spirit of the Gospel moulded her
character as to make her one of the most amiable
and lovely of women. Some months before her
death she attended two days meeting in her
neghborhood, where she became awakened to the
duty of connecting herself with the church of God,
and of making public profession of her faith in
Christ, and on her death-bed she regretted that
she had not done so earlier in life. She suffered
severely of arlet fever and died after four days
illness, in hope of better life. B.J.

RUSSIAN DESIGNS ON INDIA-The correspon-
dent Of the London Times, writing from the
camp before Sevastopol on the 22d of May,
says:
1t seems tolerably certain that Russia in
tended to have tried her hand at diversion in
the direction of India had we not deranged her
plans by the invasion of the Crimea There is
Russian officer now at headquarters who be-
longed to a regiment who was actually told off
for a march to India last year. There were
several other regiments destined for the same
expedition, but they too found themselves en-
campcd ON the Alma on the 10Th September,
and on their road to Bakshiserai the following
evening. The officers had been provided With
hooks relating to India. and had been studying
"the manners and customs" of the Hndoos
and Musselmans of the great Peninsula.
The AMERICAN PARrY-Never where the
prospects of the American party better than
to-day. And this even though Virginia has
gone against us. The people are american at
heart. They feel, and deeply, for American
principles II is in part Of the People, and so
long as it is true to the measures, so long will
it be vital and operative mighty and prevail
ing
Success has made us careless and Indifferent
in certain parts of the country. This is wrong
Whatever our strength however bright our
prospects; however indolent our opponents
never should we slack an effort to do our best,
our utmost We could name hundred places
in the country, Of considerable size, when the
American party has failed for the want of prop
er effort We have had the numerical force,
the prestige Of success, but all has been lost
because confidence was reposed in the more
possession of power-not the use of it.
Success attends only the active and bold
lfNirsinia, for instance, is lost, we fear that
it is so, not from the want numbers, but of
e5ort on the past American. 1t is work
work never ending, always increasing, that
bears men and parties, all forms of organization
on to success and power. The American party
is to-day the strongest in the field. Its pros
poets are far better than any other. BY the
right and manly effort-the effort that does
not sleep nor can be turned from its onward
career, it may and will achieve new victories
and make the political history of America its
own.-Boston Kno,o Nothing.
