May Day.

The first of May was celebrated by the
pupils of the several schools of Baton Rouge,
in a most becoming style and I'M spirit which
would inspire a soul most %ascetic, with poetry
and song.
It seemed as if the juveniles were in favor
with the clerk of the weather tor it must
have been for their special qualification, that
he set aside his damp and gloomy appearance
on last Thursday. At any rate, whatever
may have been the cause, the day dawned
with a smiling sun. and all nature seemed in
| spired with the beauties Of May day.
AS we are not gifted with ubiquitous pow
ers, we could not attend the several parties
which wound up the festivities of the day;
but we are assured that at each and all OF
them everything passed off as merry as a
marriage bell"
At an early hour of the evening we found
o~urself surrounded by a bevy Of the most
lovely of the last and best of Gods creation,
who guided US to the school room of Mrs.
BUTLER. where an array of beauty and chiv-
airy of Baton Rouge had already assembled,
to honor the Queen ofthe Day, as represented
by the charming Miss BE VII.
Here our bachelors heart melted before
the sparkling wit of the lovely Miss tn;
the melodious voice Of the charming Miss
T-u, and the angelic beauty of the spirit
stirring Miss A-y. Ascension's claims
upon the affections of beauty's ~votaries, We're
most charmingly and modestly represented
by the belle of New River, Miss &C Vt,
and our own parish was sweetly there in the
person OF the majestic Miss Nj McF-n.
But we must close we find ourself utterly
unable to do justice to the subject, suffice it
to say that the party given by Ms. BurLER S
school, was decidedly the May party of the
day: and the pleasing incidents of the evening
will long remain first i'll our recollection as
the most happy hours we have ever passed in
Baton Rouge.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM CENTRAL AMER
TLA--Enstjsh Dispatches Lfereptsd-.The

Thu Granada reports having seen a large

The steamer Illinois arrived at Havana the

A serious riot occurred at Panama on the
evening of the 18th, when a large number OF
passengers bound tUe and from California,
(Americans) were killed and wounded. All
the Express mails were destroyed, and 2
number lost all their baggage. The Panama
Railroad was torn up some two miles, aud

10 Some youngsters from a n%eighboring
City got on a bender one night this week,
and astonished the quiet and repose Of our lit
tie town, with their frantic attempts at a SER
enade. Their efforts were, however, appre-
ciated by our good natured citizens, who
were disposed to humor their fun but boys,
how did you, feel wheE after singing all the
songs you could think Of, to an old building,
under the impression that it was a private
dwelling, on being told that It ,ras the Court
House? Better luck next time!

SEcREsY.-When the American party first
sprang into existence, loud and fierce We're
the taunts hurled upon its head BY the "pure
and spotIess' Democracy, because they held
their meeting in secret and quietnes, until
they could be come thoroughly organized as
a party. "Secresy" was hurled into their
teeth as being anti Republican. anti-Ameri-
can, in fact everything vile and slanterous
that foul mouthed locoiocoism could invent,
and all this merely because, these meeting
were held in sRret, and the spies and hire
lings Of their I'D versares could not obtain adj
mission to their meetings. IN
1t was not then likely to suppose that
"open' fair and honest Democracy would
condescend to such a prostitution of their ac-
tions by a similar movement. because forsoothl
as they would make honest men believe, thew
were fair and just in their dealings. How
much they differ in precept and practice, the
following extract from the N. O. Creole. will
show:
PREcEpr AND PRAcrIcr.-Secresy is trea-
sonable in a political party, howIed the De.
mocracy on all occasions for two wears nast.
Do they believe it? Then why are they new
working in secret?
The Democrats at Washington city have a
secret association where they are d~ev,s1ng
the plan of the coming political campaign.-
The Democratic Central Committee in This
city are to all interests and purposes the most
secret institution we ever had in our midst.
Their secret edict controlled the very action
OF the late legislature they cut out the work
for their tools at Baton Rouge to perform, and
like mental slaves they did their bidding
This fact was promulgated during the late
session.
Out of their W mouths comes their own
condemnation. 1t dishonest in their TRADE
against secresy, in what they claims to pnblic
confidence?

New INVENTION FOR MAKING SuGAR.-By
invitation Of Messrs. .. LeBloc & Son, says
the N. o. Bulletin of May 1st, we yesterday
afternoon witnessed the operation of a new
apparatus for facilitating the process of con-
centrating sugar from sirop. 1t is an inven-
ton made, by a Frenchman named Bours, in
the Mauritius Islands. 1t was by him exhib-
tied at Paris, where it attracted the attention
of one of our sugar planters and in this way
has been introduced here. The apparatus We
witnessed at Goodale's Refinery is the sec
ond in operation in the State. The i%eveator
and others who have examined in.A the mer-
its of this invention think it destined to ere
ate an entire revolution in the process of
making sugar in Louisiana. The advantages
it proposes to offer are the following: Great
ly diminished cost as compared with the
vacuum pans in the original outlay for the ma
chinery necessary for concentrating sirup into
sugar; great saving of fuel and labor in the
process and superior article of sugar, when
the process is complete. There are also
some minor advantages. These are all mat
tiers of fact and require nothing but practical
! tests for their verifcation. We are informed
that in respect to cost, this new apparatus is
$4,000 against $4,000 for a vacuum pan and
that the saving IN fuel is equally great. The
quality of the sugar we saw is very fine, pre-
senting a beautiful crystalline appearance. A
hogshead of sugar is made in three hours or
eight hossheads a day. BY means Of divul-
wing discs of metals and d%ippers, revolving, a
large amount of surface covered by the sirup
is obtained and thus evaporation and conden-
sation rapidly take place. We found several
sugar planters carefully examining into the
merits of the invention, and it is probable
that they will state for the information of
others, the conclusions to which they arrive.

who were lying in wait in a thick Cypress

which. at that time. was not far in the rear
Of the advance guard.
After exchanging some 300 shots on both.
sides a charge in front was ordered. At least
u Indians ran towards "BHly's town" and a
number took to a dense Cypress on the right.
The Cypress was charged, but no Indians
were discovered, although they were seen to
go into it. Those who had retired to the
hammock, towards "BiIly's town. were then
attacked. When within a short distance of
the town, a large number of Indians Were
seen running East, towards an abandoned vii
lage, surroundes! on all sides by a very dense
hammock, excepting in front, where was =
very large pond Or swamp. covered with tall
grass and about two feet of water.
As this hammock was approached, the In.
dians fired a vol!ey, which was returned by
the advanced guard, under Lieut.. Langdon.
The enemy then ran to another hammock,
nalf a mile to the North; the troops followed:
the Indians there fired again, which was re-
turned a charge was then made, before which
the Indians retreated. and were pursued until
