4 JryFNIE Cuom last Sabbath quite
a novelty was witnessed by the congregation
at the Baptist church in tins village. Tho
gallery was occupied ny a juvenile choir,
composed Of some twenty liit!' boysani sir,'
belonging in the society, who performed
the singing in the morninsser'icc. Though
the music might not have possessed the ar
ti.tic merit and shown the degree Of training
and the perfect expression, which an older
choir would exhibit, the elect was pleasing,
and the children deserve much praise lor the
creditablc manner in which they sustained
their parts.
Next Sabbath morning DR.. Wilson will
address the youth Of hi. society on the sub
i,ct Of Temperance. The little folks have
IN rchsar,al some hymns appropriate to the
occasion.

Correction.

We find in the Bayou Sara Ledger OF the
End INST an article WHICH is Gale niated 10
place lis in a wrong position respecting eel
tain remarks that appeared IN cur paper OF
the goth uIt., under the head, OF the Happy
Family
We are charitable enough to hsiieVe thatthe
editor of the Ledger could not have read the
article referred to, oF=he would not have 50
rnisjnterpreted our meaning, In speaking oil
the article referred to, he industrlousty pfingS
in the name of Mr.. WINFaEE, and says:
This &c 1tleman has been assalled by the
EDITOR Of the West Baton Rouge Sugar Pian-
tey-.e..he has been t,cifted rather for ha"-
ing been defeated by the Democratic mem
| hers in Caucus for the Office Of Minnie 1iefk
| Of the House. The editor OF the Sugar fia'-
| ter lusinuates that because Mr.. Nlntree was
| defeated Tor a Clerkship in the House: ne
| should return 70 the K, N. Wig"am.
We beg leave to inform the "wise mat"
| Of the Ledgey that we did not '~'a$sail' that
| gentleman, nor did we tpit him upon his de-
| feat for a pitiful Clerkshjp! And We beg
particularly to be permitted to inform the
Lefscr, that We made no such nsinuafio0
/ that Mr.. w. should return to the K. N. Wig
wan, in consequence oil that defeat. Nheth-
er Mr.. ". has felt or feels disposed to return
to the K. n. Wigwam, or whether the h. \.
Wigwam would receive MIN again or not, adj
rnits Of much doubt and consideration on
both sides. We make these remarks SIMPLY
to place US exactly where we want to be. III
the right, and we subjoin an extract from oul
paper Of that date which has partico!artreler
ance to disappointed ex-K. NJ, and old line
Wings. for the especial benefit OF al lnteIes-
ted.
Seduced by the false professions Of kind,
ness on the part Of the Democrats, and
prompted by a hope Of an equal share IL the
spoils. thousands Of hungry patriots suddenly
discovered that our civil and religious llAcf-
ties were attacked by the native born - meF-
leans, and that the Democratic party was the
Ark Of Saietv-hence at the eleventh honr
in the heat of the battle, the foreign ranks
were reinforced and they gained the victory
but mark the sequel On last Monday It
anDaars that among those who asked to snare
in the sp0ils were a number Of fold line Wing
and ex- Know N0things. who with proper
zeal urged their claims; but the old Demo,
Gratis mur1urcd. saying, these last have
wrought but one hour" and we have borne
the burden and the heat Of the day ami
voice went forth from King Caucus which re-
versed the teaching of the good MANN tat
parable aud they that rers hired about The
eleventh honr received nothing whereat there
is loud murmuring. much dissatisfaction, ans
sore disappointment.

The Election Of Banks.

Well. Banks is elected SPeaker-not by
the vote of the Southern kuow-Notaings, as
a contemporary unjustIy charges. but partly by
the numerical strength Of the Black kepubIl-
cans in the House Of Representatives, and
party by the absurd and indefenSibie conduct
Of the Democrats. who first scornfdi}Y re publ
ated the concurrence Of the Americans, by
adortine a resolution Of an oprrobrioes and
insulting character respecting them, and then
while complaining that the Americans re-
fused 10 vote icr their candidate deliberately
declined repeating the obnoxious Hing, We
presume that. had every National American
in the House sustained the Democratic nom-
inee. he would have been cbosen but We
opine that it was rather a stretch Of ettTon-
terv on the part Of the Democrats virtually to
aSSaiI the former as enemies OF their country,
and propaganiists of iEcendiaTy doctrines,
and then to require them tohelp make Dem
o~cratfc Speaker. The responsibility Of the
election Of BANKS will doubtless be placed by
the contry where it properly belongs.
But. whichever party may be vulnerable
to eensure for the result, the election OF
Nathaniel P. Banks, Freesoiler. is a fixed fact.
We regret It. IN connen with every citizen
who loves his country, who deprecates the
continued agitation OF slavery, and views ii
as baneiul 10 the continuance OF the harmony
end ~paternal feeling which should distinguish
avery portion of the Union. But we do
not regard this event with that inetlable hor-
ror which seems to have taken possession Of
some minds. No convuIsion of nature will
follow the portentious occurrence. 1t is
quite. probable that the sun will still shine
and the wind will blow as heretofore, and
that the seasons will follow each other with

CRoPs.--We do not like to be the harbinger
Of bad tidings, or to cry out wolf before
the wolf comes. Yet-we think it our duty
to speak out boldly upon a subject fraught
with so much interest, to all interested in the
culture of Sugar, If we therefore predict
short crops at this early day, it is because we
think circumstances Justify us in SO saying,
From all parts Of our parish we hear loud
complaints Of the effects of the late severe
cold spell of weather, upon the entire plant
crop. On many of our plantations the en-
tire crop planted has been destroyed, as well
as nearly all the cane nat-lai The late
freezing spell has been severer than any
known for years, and as far as we can learn
the same destruction to the crops prevail
throughout the State. The planting this year
has been much larger than usual and the loss
OF almost the entire crop of planting cane,
will be severely felt by our pla tiers. ~
