1--WE neglected making any reference to
the late Police Jury proceedings in the present
number, (and We were unable to do so last
week, as we were absent,o for the reason tina.
we intend to publish the whole proceedings Of
the present month, uerbattnl, excepting the err
YOrs) in, our next issue, and continue to do so
throughout the year, Or from this time for
ward, including the ordinances, advertisements,
and eli matters of public interest that emanate
from the Police Jury. We consider this no
more than just, considering our extraordinarily
gOod-paying subscription list, as well as its
length and responsibility, aud the many noble
names that are upon it Of those who are ever
ready to stand by us, should misfortune and
distress assail us.

TIE Daily Creo1-We are much pleased
TO perceive that the Creole is now published
daily. We consider it one Of the ablest poll
teal papers in the State. Its editorial columns
are always fresh, vigorous and cutting-an Ell
oquence far superior TO that of the Della, al.
though of a similar nervous style, a sarcasm
twice as cutting, a trnthfulness a thousand
times greater, and a fervent patriotism which
the "militant" journal knows nothing Of, either
in theory or practice. But the Della is a mars
velously great newspaper; and it is only by
this comparison that we can show our appreci"
alton Of the Creole.

A terrible afftay took place in Bayou Sara
on the 18th instant, in which s. H. Lurty, the
Sheriff of the parish, and Mr., John Turn5ull,
planter, were parties. The latter was MORALLY
wounded. The parties had on alteration
which led to a conflict, in which pistols and
bowie.knife were used, but under what particu .
lar circumstances is not yet ascertainable. Mr..
TurnbuI's fatal wound is a bowieSknife stab
in the left breast, which the doctors say, leaves
no chance of his recovery although he is not
dead yet. Mr.. Lurty had his leg broken by a
shot which he received in il, and he was also
wounded in the neck with a bowie-knife; but
he is not considered in any danger.
A second despatch to the Picayune states
| Mr.. Turnbull has died of his wounds.

We acknowledge the receipt Of a beautiful
ambrotype in gilt frame Of the celebrated Ma
hant Hotel, sent as by that estimable gentle
man and chief clerk Of the establishment, Il.
HrrcHcocK, Esq, SO well and favorably known
as. occupying q similar position in the St.
Charles Hotel during the winter seasons and
we partic ularly invite those who intend jour
neying to the North the present season, to call
in and look at it, as we are told that it is a very
correct representation of the hotel and the ro~
mantle spot upon which it is built. 1t will be
perceived that this vast edifiee (Which combines
within itself nnheard of Iuxuries) is built up
on a promontory of land which juts out into
the Atlantic, from three sides of which the
broad waters can be seen from ones window,
whose neyerSceasing murmurings--so APPLY
termed "the music of the sea''--serve to lull
to delightful sleep. Connected with the hotel
are billiard tables and every other amusement
to which Southerners are partial. We heartily
recommend Nahant and the polite attentions
of Mr.. HITCHCOCK to those of our citizens
whose pleasure or business calls them as far
as Boston during The present summer. All!
me--that one should be forced to decline an
invitation to %sojourn a season at SO charming
a place! A thousand thanks however for the
kindness which prompted it.

Improvement in Sugar Mqngtactare.-Mr.
Besasmer fhas explained various parts Of his
new mode Of manufacturing sugar, at his es,
Establishments in the West Indies. The brown
sugar Of commerce did not, he said, contain
that immense quantity of impurIty which it was
generally supposed, from the large amount Of
residue left in the process of refining. OF forty-
two samples Of MuscOyado analysed by Pros
fessor McCulloeh an average yield Of saccha~
rine matter was obtained, equal 10 SO per cent.
The large amount Of residue obtainedi IN the
present refining process was owing to the high
temperature IN which the water was evaporated
ii she ordinary boiling process and to the
heated surfaces Of the coil coming 10 contact
with the sugar in the vacuum pans. By the
new process-simply using water, acting upon
. surface Of sugar spread q wire game over 4
vasam-shis excessive waste ofimpurity would
be avoided,

TIC prestdential Campaign.

The New York Herald says of the approch-
ing political contest:
The main question is, what are the prospects
of the campaign? We anticipate one of the
most exciting, tumultuous and revolutionary
political contests in all the history of the re-
public. Many Of our hopeful Democratic fela
ow.citizens affect to believe that there will
hardly be a ~fght-that Mr.. Buchanan, with
scarcely a show of resistance, will walk over the
course. We have only to say, looking calmly
over the whole field, that for all such as enter.
tain the belief that there will be no struggle,
the doors of some lunatic asylum had better be
opened at once. We have no doubt of the
fact that u vast majority of the American peo-
pie, in the present distracted condition of the
| country, are opposed to the Democratic party,
as debauched and demoralized under the malign
influence of this Pierce administration; and we
believe that there would still exist q majority
of the American people opposed to the %ratifica-
ton ofthe debaucheries of this corrupted party,
even if they should nominate as their represen-
tatiVe an angel from heaven. This is our con-
viction and belief.
Grant that as an honest man and a states
man, Mr.. Buchanan is a fair nomination, and
that he is UNNECESSARILY superior to men Of
such small cailbre and paltry eXpedients as
Pierce and his Forney Kitchen Cabinet. the
impressive evidences are yet all around US of
an impending revolution. Louis the Sixteenth
was an amiable, respectable and worthy man,
and sincerely labored for the good Of his peo~
pie; yet in the terrible storm raised by bis
imbeeiIe and corrupt predecessors he was
swept away. We anticipate nothing so fright.
full in this enlightened day; yet we say that
Pierce has raised Il storm which even Buchanan
cannot peremptorily command to be still. 1t is
drifting to a great popular revolution. We
shall have a revolution-we must have a re
y~olntion; for a sweeping revolution is as me-
cessary at times to purify The political atmo~
sphere as is a summer thunder gust to clear
away the miasma and corrupting exhalations
ola long and sickly siege of the dog days.
