REBUILDING IN THIBoDAUx. - The
ruins of the Thibodaux fire were not cold
when the process of clearing away the
rubbish and bringing to the ground new
materials was commenced. We learn
that the whole burnt district is to be re-
built, in the shortest possible delay, with
substantial and ornamental brick struc.
lures. Among the sufferers by the late
calamity, no one claims greater share Of
our sympathies than our ancient friend ].
Augier, one of the veterans of lc Grand
Napoleon he who was wont to make the
heart of Young America rejoice at the
sight of his wonders fabricated in sugar
and flour. We really hope he may be
encouraged to "try it again" and that he
may continue for many years to deal out
the sweets of life.

twenty passengers, sighted the coast Of

Of American independence was ushered
into our town by the booming of cannon
1t IN early hour Of the morning. Allthe
stores in the place we're closed, and every
body took holiday. Although We had no
public celebration, there were several
very happy private parties, where the par

Taking it all in all, we think the day was
celebrated in Houma as periodically as
the most intense American could desire.
We did NOT SEQ drunken man during the

THE FABLE OF THE TRuMPETER.-The
Boston Courier, in a well timed, well
written editorial on Senator Sumner and
Mr.. Brooks, the purport of which is that
how much soever we may deprecate
violence and strife, Nj. Sumner has no
right to complain, either on the score Of
the nature Of the consequences Of his in
solent speech, or Of being taken by sur.
prise, compares the unenviable Senator
to the trumpeter in the fable. Fables are
sometimes very much in point; and the
country is so full of proper applications
for the fable Of the trumpeter, that we
think we cannot de better than publish it.
A trumpeter being taken prisoner in
battle, begged hard for quarter, declaring
his innocence, and protesting that he mel
Their had nor could kill any man. bearing
no arms, but only his trumpet, which be
was obliged to sound at the word of com.
mand. "For that reason" replied bis
enemies, I'VE are determined not to spare
you; for though you yourself never fight,
yet, with that wicked instrument of yours,
you blow up animosity between other
people, and 90 become the occasion Of
much bloodshed."

o. The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia North American, Of the
24th, says:
Padre Will has summarily closed his
mission, and will return to Nicaragua by
the first steamer, leaving the legation in
charge Of some responsible person. Per-
sonal, and not political, reasons influenced
this step. The combined efforts made
against him by the foreign Ministers sue
ceeded not only in damaging his social
position, but even in prejudicing his eccle-
siastical relations, which be regarded of
far more importance. 1t was only very
recently, and after full investigation, that
the Archbishop Of Baltimore granted him
the privileges Of the Catholic priesthood,
the exercise Of which had been previously
refused in manner that deeply wounded
his sensibilities. Although grati6ed by
this recognition and endorsement of his
character, still he felt that he would be
more happy by returning to Granada, the
scene of his lifelong labors, where he is
universally respected and cherished.
There is no doubt that tho Padre was in.
duced to assume his recent functions by
sense Of duty to his country, and by firm
conviction that, in espousing the cause Of
Walker, he was contributing, in the most
effective form, to accomplish that object.
Nov that be has gone. people viii begin
to think better Of him.
