THE TRUE SPIRIT.--We like to see the true spirit
exhibited whenever called upon for party purposes.
West Baton Rouge has never been behind her sister
parishes in matters of this kind but often in advance.
As an evidence of the enthusiasm of the Americans
of our parish in the small crowd assembled at the
Courthouse on Monday last during the sitting of the
Police Jury, over three hundred dollars were sub
scribed in less than twenty minutes, for Il Fillmore
and Donelson barbecue, to be given on the Goth inst
Hurrah for West Baton Rouge-she is all right in
November next .-[Sugar Planter, 9th.
If all the parishes in the State were like glorious
West Baton Rouge, Fillmore would receive almost an
unanimous vote.

ID GRAND ToRCHLIGHT PROCESSION AND FLAG-RAIs-
ING AT SHREyEPoRT.-Ihe Red Riuer Steamboatmen
up and aDoing.-We clip from the Shreveport South
Western, of the 9th ut the following account of
grand American demonstration, which took place in
that town on the oath ult.:
On Saturday afternoon, the Red River American
Boatmens Club erected beautiful flagstaff 100 feet
high, at the corner Of Texas and Market Streets and
unfuled to the breeze the starry bannerof our coun
try. In the evening they formed torch-light pro-
cession, headed by the miniature man-of.war, "Old
Ironsideso decked out with the national flag union
jack, pennant and streamers, and armed with can
non, forged for the occasion by the stawart arms of
American engineers and blacksmitfs. After march
ing through Texas, Edwards and Market streets, the
procession halted in front of the City Hotel where in
the presence OF large concourse of citizens Mr. w.
Fl. Mitchell, President of the American Boatmen's
Club, presented to the President of the Fillmore
American Club a handsome silk banner, embellished
with portrait of the "Fathcr of his Country accom-
panied with the following remarks
"Su-I am commissioned by the steamboatmen of
Red river to present to you as President of the Fill
more Club of Caddo parish, this banner, knowing it is
conded to the keeping of safe hands, with the assu
rance our part that, come what may in victory or
defeat will ever be found fighting in the cause of
our common country-for Fillmore, for Donelson, and
the Union.'
The Hon. B. L. Hodge, in behalf of the Fillmore
Club, responded in few brief and appropriate re-
marks, which were repeatedly and loudly appauded.
Colonel Sam Ford entered into an able exposition
of the principles of the party, and pointed out the
ruinous condition to which the country had been
brought, through the mismanagement of the present
administration. He was followed by IMessrs. F. P.
Austin and John w. Jones, who were repeatedly
called for, and responded in most pertinent strain
Colonel Ford was again called upon, and at the close
of his remarks, the following resolution was pre-
sented on behalf of the American party and adopted
by acclamation
Resoiued, That the thanks of the American party
of Caddo parish is hereby rendered TO the Red
river steamboatmen for the patriotic interest mani
tested by them this OCCASION and for the beautiful
banner representing Washington - the immortal
American first in peace, first in war, and first in
the hearts Of his countrymenn- by them to

CoTToE, BAGGING AND GUNNY CLoTH.-Of course
it will be impossible for cotton to to market
less it had suitable covering, or otherwise called in
plantation phrase baling" During the season there
have been great investments, otherwise speculation
perhaps it might be called gambling on in In
da gnnny clothan gunny bags; the former adapted
and used for cotton the latter for corn wheat and oats
Under presumed short supply prices advanced the
last month to % and "a cents per yard for gunny
cloth, and about the same price for Kentucky bag
ging. The abundance of money and the general
easy position Of our money market had, great nflu-
ence on operations, which based speculation.
We do not think any of our banks have encouraged
this species of trading, which would tend to the dis
advantage of the cotton interest. 'a
In another column we this morning give the
authentic contents of circular from Calcutta, of the
Sd July (only little sixty days since,) which
indicates that gunny cloth and gunny bags notdes
tined to reach those elevated prices which would en-
nance the price or value of cotton corn, wheat, Or
any article which, in the course of trade, may be in
voved in the of these articles. Tt will be observed
that we have advces of 1924 pieces of gunny cloth,
nearly equivalent to 100000 Of yards being shipped
ct Calcutta for the month of June and the three first
days of July, and 6S6,O00 gunny bags. And from
the remarks following the statement, there is every
reason to believe that shipments will increase the
high prices and good demand were increasing the
supplies, of which good share will seek the United
States for market rather they will come hither as
dealers will anticipate good business. The demand
may be good, but whether at remunerative prices
over cost in India is a question that can hardly be
answered at this moment Although the shipments
from Calcutta which we have noticed may not arrive
till next month"; and perhaps not till November, never
theless planters will know there is an ample supply
of bagging and bags on the way for market.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.

Last winter, gentleman in New York, con-
nected with the Mission Sunday School of DIR.
Alexander's church, found little girl selling
candies and apples on the corner of the Park
on Sunday morning. The child was scantily
clad and tho morning was bitter cold. The
girls appearance in other respects indicated
suffering and perhaps abuse. The gentleman
invited her to goto Sunday School.-The
child was willing, but could not go, because
the woman with whom she lived obliged her to
sell on Sunday as well as other days. The ev-
Ident distress of the child led the gentleman
10 make inquiry. 1t was found that she had
neither father nor mother, (both having died
with the ship fever,) that the woman with
whom she lived, who was regular old harri-
dan, had no legal claim to her, perhaps had
stolen her, and that there was gross cruelty
and hardship in the whole business. The
teachers of the Sunday school, for while
paid the old woman fifty cents Sunday,
(Which was about what the girl could make by
selling,) and thus secure for her the privilege
of attending the School. But when it leaked
out that there was fraud as well as cruelty in
the case, they took steps to have her placed
under the care OF the law. She was sent to
An asylum, and thence to farm house in the
country. In the latter place, the lady to whom
she was bound out was SO much struck with
her manners and character, that she question
ed her closely about the "reminiscences of early
childhood. The little girl had recolected
that she had come from England in q ship with
her father and mother. She recollected her
grand fathers name, and in some other cir
cumstances, by which eventually the town
and county were ascertained. The lady then
wrote letter to England, and soon received
the joyful intelligence that the grand parents
were both living in Sellinge, Kent Co., Eng
land. The family were substantial farmers,
and forth with sent funds to bring the lost one
home. She went accordingly, in the next
steamer, and is now living once more in COM
fort and affluence at the old homestead. We
have given only the general outline of the sto-
ry. The details are of the most romantic
character, quite equal to those found in woks
of fiction. A narrative, giving the whole sto-
ry, has just been issued by the American Sun
day School Union, under the title of ss The
Candy Girl.
