FIRE IN NEW ORLEANS.
Immense Destruction of Property!

$500 BALES OF COTTON DESTROYED :!
About o'clock this morning. says the
New Orleans Picayune of the 9TH instant,
fire broke cut in Yard Nc 5 of the Lower
Cotton Press. which resulted in the entire
destruction cf the contents, consisting of
$500 bales uf c,tton.
The alarm. which was not, however,
very general or complete. was promptly re-
sponded to by the Fire Department. and,
fortunately. the members thereof were en-
abled to couine the flames to one of the
many yards connected with the press.
A great portion of the contents of Yard
No 5 was entirely destroyed. and the re-
mainder was 50 damaged as TO render it
comparatively valueless. The yard was
devoted to the receipt and storage Of Eel
lowe & CO. cotton their loss Is, however,
fully covered by insurance The risks are,
as we learn, divided as follows S25, 900
in the Merchants Insurance Co; $4,000
in the Louisiana Insurance Co; So, 500
IN the Crescent Mutual Insurance Co., and
the balance in New York Offices. That
which is insured ia New York had already
been sold by AIessrs- Fellowes & Co., and,
as far as the risk was concerned, had passed
out Of their hands
How the FIRE originated could net be def
niiely ascertained but it was supposed to
have been caused by sparks from fire
which originated liz the neighborhood on
Thursday If so. tue FIRE must have been
smouldering among the bales for twenty
four hours before it finally broke out.
We heard rumor to the effect that two
of our gallant fremen had been killed at
the fire. but could not trace the story TO any
definite source. We trust that it will prove
wholly unfounded.

Confidence Men.

LOUISIANA DEMOCRATIC STATE Con
vENTIoN.-In the State Democratic Con-
ventiOn recently held at Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, for the purpose of appointing
delegates to the Democratic National
Convention, to be held at Cincinnati,
in june next, the following resolution
was adopted ''amidst the most tremen-
dous applause -
"Mr. Hall, from Morehouse, offered a
resolution that the nominees of the Gin
cinnati Convention, whoever they may
be, are the choice of this Convention for
the Offices of President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, which was
adopted amidst the most tremendous ap-
plause."
This is an exhibition of confidence
on the part Of the Convention which
We hope they may never have occasion
to rue. To pledge ones self in advance
of a party election is bad enough, but
to pledge the Democracy of whole
State, and Southern State too, to vote
for anybody, whether he be Free-Soil-
er or Abolitionist, Soft or Hard, Nation
al or Sectional, is going it a little too
strong. We thought Messrs. SoULE,
MoUTON, WICnLIFFE and the other lead
ers, who participated in the proceedings of
the Convention, were more cautious men.
We were mistaken, for they not only rati-
fed the nominations of the Cincinnati
Convention in advance, but ex-Gov
Mouton concluded his address by propo-
sing three cheers for the Cincinnati
Nominees, which were given b. the
Convention with immense enthusiasm.
In this connection, we quote from
the Baton Rouge Ga-etfe, Of the 18th
inst, the following remark of one the
delegates to the Convention. 1t is Ger
tainly an exhibition of fealty to his
party which deserves to be remembered ::
"A friend of ours, in conversation with
one of the delegates to the Convention,
asked what he would do if certain nomi-
nations were made for the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency by the Cincinnati Con-
vention2 The Democratic reply was, 81
would vote for a free negro, if nominated

1 \ private letter from Arkadel-
phia informs Us that at the political
speaking at that place, on Monday of
last week, between Col WARREN and
~ H. GARLAND, Esq, the latter got so
LAUGH the advantage of the Colonel in
the debate, that his party friends deemed
it advisable to call in assistance. Mr..
GARLAND has replied to Col WARREN,s
attacks upon the American Party, In this
county, in Pike, Polk, Montgomery and
Clark, and deserves the thanks of the
party for his efficient efforts in defence of
its principles
Messrs. BEALL and GENTRY were uom-
mated by the Democratic County Conven-
ton in Clark, as candidates for the Leg
islature, and the delegates to the District
Convention were instructed to cast their
votes for Col. WARREN, as the first choice
OF that county for Congress.

The following short notice of the Ameri-
can candidate for the Vice Presidency. we

"Mr. DoNELsoN was nephew of Gen'l
Jackson's wife. He was named for the
General. and was brought up in the family.
When Gen1 jackson became President in
March 1929. he made Mr. Dvnelson his
private secretary.
In 1915 Mr. DoEelsom was minister
to the republic of Texas. and through him
the negotiations and communications which
resulted in the annexation of Texas to the
United States we're carried on. While yet
In Texas he was appointed by President
Polk in 1915, minister to Prussia-an Of
fee which he held until near the close of
Polk's administration. While minister to
Prussia, he was; by President Polk. in 1913,
appointed minister to the Federal Govern
ment of Germany. or German confederation,

both Offices In the beginning of 1S49.

In 1S50-'5l. when the secessionists and

mad spirit and dangerous designs at the
Nashville Convention, Mr. Donelson head

lie discharged the duties of the position
well and efficiently. and to the satisfaction o
his party. until the secession and freesoil
appointments of President Pierce made it
impossible fer him to render the admins
tration hearty support. He then retired
to private life. When the American party
arose ne recognized in it the means of res
cuing his country from the dangers of for
eignism and sectional broils which threaten
ed it. and he at once gave his heart and
soul to the gool cause He has already

SPRING.

At last Spring has come, with her robes
of light and beauty around her, and
thousand hearts are throbbing and pulsa-
ting with joy at her cheering advent
Winter, bleak and dreary, has taken her
winding sheet from natures body, and
again symptoms of new life begin to show
themselves over her vast expanse. The
backwardness of the season, caused
sadness in many hearts, but He who
knows best how to manage the great
creation of which he is the author,
mas doubtless delayed the coming of the
sweet messenger, spring, with the roses
tint upon her cheeks, and the horn of
plenty in her hand, scattering from it,
heavens choicest blessings in rich profu-
sion around us, for a great and wise pur-
pose. The earth, so long frozen and in a
congealed condition, has at last, under
the gentle influence of spring sun, sof-
tened down, with all its minute particles
more thoroughly intermingled, and more
maturely improved and nourished, than
man, with all his devices, could effect it
for himself. Again, her coming is not
premature, when the physical system,
from the previous intense cold, is entire
ly unprepared for the reception; and
therefore we may look for smiling, cheer
full faces, flushed with the richest glow
of health, instead of the pale and lifeless
ones which too frequently meet the COM
ing of this thrice welcome guest And
now, while we write, our ears filed with
the sweet notes OF natures warblcrs, the
atmosphere around us redolent with the
perfume of the first blooms of spring,
and the sun shedding his golden light
over all, We see men of all professions,
cheerfully and gladly filling their daily
callings, as if they felt within their own
bOsoms that the seed now sown, will
bring to them an abundance, for years
before unseen.
