A MoDEL PARIsH.-We take the following
from the Baton Rouge Gazette, of the Sd

certainly moral people. Their grand jurors
have light duties to perform in consequence.

the incomprehensibility of the law he is call.

account, above referred to:
''The Sixth Judicial District Court for the
parish of West Baton Rouge, cemmenced its
session yesterday, Judge Robertson presiding.
The Judge, we are informed, called the Jury
and charged them in reference to the statute

the Grand Jury could not understand them

nobody in the parish had violated those in.

ifcation at the high state OF morality pre-
vailing in the parish; but for form sake, the
Grand Jury could report as TO what extent
the late frost had cut the corn down. Ac-
cordingly the jury retired as far as the head
of the stairs leading to their room. and i'm
mediately returnedwith the report that they
had found a true bill against Jack Frost"

rights of jurors and the obligations Of the
law regarded, though it be done only for

The eleven soon agreed upon rt,obey-

corresponding months last year last year,
about $4,000 per month. The average in
crease per month is $9677, and the gross
increase for the four months is $3S,7O
And while the receipts have thus increased
the expenses of the road have decreased for
the four months $4,000, or at the rate OF
S2,5OO per month. This is most encoura-
ging exhibit With good crop, the bust

last two hundred citizens of Platte county
assembled n, ParLsviIle, Missouri, and attack
ed the office of the Luninary, charged with
freesoil procIivitIcs, destroyed the fixtures,
aud threw the press into the Missouri river.
The editor would have been tarred and
feathered, had he not been fortunately alb,
sent.
Resolutions were passed declaring the Lu-
ninary n nuisance, and its editors traitors,
&C., and an intention to throw them into
the river if found in the place within three
weeks, and to follow them and hang them if
they went to Kansas. Free soilers were de.
nounced, and it was decidedly the meeting
that no Methodist preacher should preach in
the county, on pain of being tarrcd and feath-
cred tor the first offence and hanged for the
second.

private dispatch which had been received in

had been Fought in Eupatoria, in which the
Russians were defeated with loss of 5000
men. Omer Pasha is reported to have been
killed in the same battle. The story is

sJT- "lou," the intelligent correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun, considers some of the
consequences which would result to this
country from war With Spain. Such war
would be benefit to contractors and pOliti-
cians, but our commrrce would suffer beyond
measure. Spanish priyatrrrs would sweep
our merch Mt ships from the sea, and our eX.
ports and imports must consequently cease.
Our cotton product, and all our staples for
export, which cannot he consumed, will rot
on our hands. and our Mediterranean COM
merce will be at the mercy of Spanish cruis-
ers, issuing from every Spanish port on that
sea. Cuba and Porto Rico will afford n snug
nest for Spanish prvatcers and pirates, but
we can rid ourselves easily of that nuisance,
by taking Cuba and Porto Rico at once. We
eau do that MS easily us the French and
British have taken Sebastopol and Cronstadt,
and of course, without more expense of life
and treasure. The British and French allies
Of Spain ire not of any practical account, and
il is not necessary, therefore, to make pro-
vision for them probably. In fact we must,
as the Ostcnd hOmbast has il, 90 into the war
without regard to cost. Ii is not thought
probable, however, that there will be any war
at present.
