1--WE thank Mr.. A. L. PLOUGH, ST., for a
copy of his circular respecting the Agricultural
and Mechanics Fair.

TMessrs. Roth & DEBL1EUx advertise to-
day many important articles Of Dry Goods,
Hardware, Groceries, &c, which deserve the
attention Of planters and others. These arti-
cles are purchased at the North, consequently
they can be sold ss cheap as prices in New Or
leans. In fact it is safer to buy goods of coun4
try merchants (who like Messrs. R. & D., i'm
port from the North) in preference to going to
the city, for much of plantation merchandise is
bought by the agents of New Orleans mer-
chants at auction, in New York and other large
cities, which the country merchant never does,
but after careful examination, purchases are
ticles of the very best quality, or those which
are free from all flaws or defects Whatsoever
for it is both to his interest and reputation to
sell his customers articles which are fresh, good,
and in every respect what they are represen-
ted to be.

AACGG 1S SOMAe&DAn& ACaAAmS IN EeA-
mark
The telegraph informs US that the Hon. y
G. Davidson has been appointed Charge tc
Denmark, which changes the old quotation
"there's something rotten in Denmark" to that
Of "there's something healing in Denmark" be.
cause it will terd to heal the Democratic dis
sentions in the Third Congressional District, by
I. G. D. abandoning the field to accept Of the
more quiet, and we should think, acceptable
Office of Minister or Charge to Denmark. Tn.
der the circumstances we may conclude that
his merits or fitness for this foreign mission
had nothing to do with his appointment, but
that it was given him solely to get rid of him.
and 10 leave the Congressional field 10 this
District open to other aspirants-the "powers
that be" trusting that the nominee, whoever
he may be, will be enabled TO bind up old
wounds, and enlist for himself the cordial sup
port Of the entire democracy Of the district.
This appointment of Mr.. Davidson, without
doubt, was capital stroke Of political policy,
in which the hand of Jno. SIidell seems promi.
nent, like the "writing on the wall" We don't
mean by this, however, that it will lead to Mr..
DIS political death; for he is too we'll acquaint-
ed with human nature, and has too much of
political tact, ever to be kicked out Of sight in
the great game of political favor and political
juggIery +; but because it so plainly shows what
is to follow.
This new etate of things, will, we presume,
cause the District to be well represented in
the Convention on the 3lst of this month. 1t
will certainly convene under auspices of bar.
mony, which, until a few days back, were not
dreampt Of. We would not be surprised, how.
ever, if a show Of feeling or opposition is man-
Tested between the former supporters of Da-
wilson and those who were most active in get
ting up the Convention, even though Davidson
is now out of the question, and even show itself
after the nomination. But a cordial and har-
monious union will not fail to take place be-
fore the election--and the Democracy of the
District may congratulate itself that there was

CHARACTERISTIC OF A Coop HoRsE.--The
N. Y. Spirit of the Times gives the following
characteristics Of q good horse:
/. His eyes, even when seen in the stable
are perfectly clear and transparent, and the pu-
pills or the apples of the eyes are alike in color
and size. Q. On being nipped in the gullet he
will utter a sound like that from a bellows. If
on the contrary, he should give vent to q dry
husky, short cough, beware of him. His wind
is unsound. 8 His legs are smooth and
"%clean." If you find punches or puffs. or diff
ference in size, though he may not be lame,
disease Turks there. 4 If broad and full be-
tween the eyes, he is susceptible of being train.
ed to almost anything. 5. If some white Oh
partincolored, he is docile and gentle.

Home.

We were gratified, among Others, on Sun
day last, TO grasp the hand Of our old friend,
Mr.. WIN. BOWMAN, one of "WaIke'r men,"
who had Just arrived from New York, to which
port he had been conveyed by a U. S. vessel,
in company with others of the Rivas c~apitula>
tors-those gallant and faithful spirits who
stuck to their commander>in-chief to the very
last, in the face of great peril and greater suf-
fering.
Mr.. Bowman has been in Nicaragua about
sixteen months, has seen much Of the country,
been with Walker the whole time, and partici"
pated in all his great battles. He speaks in
glowing terms of the country and the climate,
and testiies to the heroic character of Gen.
Walker, and to the great qualities which he
evinCed as a commander and statesman; and
says that if some of his acts appeared cruel
and tyrannical, they were fully justified upon
the ground Of necessity, arising from the fact
of his having under him a body Of the most
desperate and self,willed men upon earth, who,
to keep in check, required the seveHest discip"
line, and the most summary punishment when
it was deserved. He asserts that the masses
or common people of Nicaragua, are in favor
| of Gen. Walker.
Notwithstanding his sufferings in Nicaragua,
Mr. BOWMAN said be preferred such misery in
place of the heartless indifference which his
countrymen in New York viewed the wants
and sutferings of himself and fellow soldiers,
after they landed in the city. They knew they
were destitute, but q piece Of bread and a
nights lodging were not offered them. Their
present necessities they were allowed to obtain
as best they could until they could get work,
hear from home, or meet with friends. Had
the same men been refugees from some petty
kingdom in Europe, because of their following
the fortunes of some equally petty chief of
not the one thousandth part the character and
ability of Walker, they would have been re-
ceived with loud huzzas, decked off in fine lis
men and sumptuously entertained. Brave men,
who have nobIy borne up against r~everses, and
whose courage and manliness had been proven
upon many a hard fought field, whatever the
cause in which they were engaged, deserve the
sympathies, the Inequalities and charities of ev-
cry enlightened community; but to be looked
upon as dogs as those soldiers in a great cause
(sick, wornnout and in want) were looked up
on who arrived in New York the other day
TO pick up food where they could find it, and
sleep upon wood piles and the like-is a dis
grace too perfdious to be entailed upon the
American character; and New York should
be held up to the scorn and contempt of the
whole Union for her dastardly conduct to-
wards these brave but unfortunate men.

Onr Court House.

We are sorry TO perceive a considerable rent
in the brick work of the Court House in front
on the right as you enter tie portico, and q
similar bat smaller one on the left, which prove
that this structure was most shamefulIy put
up, and that it will soon crumble to pieces.
Like many others, we thought when it was
erected that the work was all properly execu-
ted. Time has shown the reYerse-and the
present condition of the building shows the
fallacy Of giving out public contracts to the
lowest bidder, and thereby running the risk of
placing it in the hands of strangers, who have
no local reputation to lose in case of their work
being shabbily done. No false, ruinous econ
omy should be practised by Committees in the
erection of public buildings. But good mates
rails of every description should be used, and
our own mechanics land there are good ones
in every locality, and in this they cannot be
excelled) should be employed, and good prices
paid them. A bad piece Of work then, like our
present Court House, would not be thrown
upon the parish, requiring from time to time
more to repair it than it originally cost, because
the pride and the interest of the builders, if
they needed any such stimulus, would prompt
them to do their work properly We opine that
the next public work which our Police Jury
orders, will be given to our own brickIayers,
carpenters. painters, &c. "Eucourage home
manufacture" in buildings as in other departs
ments of mechanics, and good and substantial
work may always be expected--our town will
grow and prosper faster in cousequence--and
a more social and friendly feeling, which
should be priced by every community, will nat
urally result.

The New Orleans Be, in an article upon
illegal Reform" makesthe following sound
and iudicious remarks:
IN a country where every body reads and
writes, where newspapers are in the hands OF
all; where every crimeis brought before the
public eve, it is Literally impossible to find
| any but ignoramusses ind idiots who have not
entertained an opinion. By what possible
mental process can a nan who peruses an ac~
| count of an arrest for murder or arson plunge
his intellect into sucF a state OF abstraction,
that while it absorbs he facts, it deduces no
differences? Show usthe meta physician who
can perform this feat, or enable Others to
achieve it. The only persons who do not form
| opinions are silly people who have not a sutti-
Gent endowment of tie faculty of authorization
to qualify them for ajudgment. OF the com
| potency of such pers,ns for Jurors it is unne~
cessary to speak. There is a vast difference
between forming an opinion, and being insensi'
bic, by reason of sucl opinion, Of giving proper
weight to evidence. There are probably fifty
| thousand persons in this city who believe Mrs.
Cunningham guilty # endeayoring to produce
a spurious child as tie fruit of her alleged mar
| riage with DR.. Burddl. We are certain there
are not fifty who would not be entirely willing
to Judge the meritsof the case, and to accord
to the accused all tie benefit she might derive
from rebutting testimony. The fact is that
the circumstance OF forming an opinion is a
proof of the intelligence of the juror. The
moment he acknowledges that he is open to
conviction, and is Wholly willing to be governed
by the evidence, hb previous views do not in
the least disqualifyhim from serving.

A New Man.

We understand that Messrs. A. J. POWELL
and r. II. BRADFORD, of Donaldsonville, have
in contemplation the issuing of a Map of the
parishes Of Iberville, West Baton Rouge and
Point Coup6e, which will embrace Townships,
Ranges, Sections, Numbers, the name of every
land owner and the area of each tract of land;
also, a statistical table will be added on the
margin. To make it perfect in every respect,
the records of The Surveyor Generals office,
the Registers offices at New Orleans and Baton
Rouge and the different Recorders offices, will
be consulted, and the parishes will be canvass
ed, to get information directly from the PLAN
tiers themselves.
Such a Map would no doubt prove very ac-
ceptable to the people of the parishes mention.
ed, and we trust that the enterprising gentle-
men who have taken it in hand, will meet with
the encouragement which their energy and ina
dustry deserve.

certainly do SO.

~ of the most spirited and hGnds0mest young
men of our burg, have associated themselves
together for the purpose of giving a series of
Balls, the first Of which, as seen by advertise

evening of the Goth inst. The propriety Of
selecting this hall at the present time, may be
understood, when we inform the public that
all Of the first story: beneath il, nearly up to the
floor, is filled nth ice! Gentlemen will per-
ceive the price Of Tickets. We trust the en-

be fairly Oorn out for the want of a gallopade

THE WEATHER.--Another week has passed
and still have we have to record the same old
words, arain. rain, rain y It rains every day
none Of your sprinkling showers, but coming
down in torrents. On Sunday night last, about
the severest thunder storm we ever experien.
eed, occurred here. Ifthere is not a change
soon, even the cane, we fear, will in some way
be injured by II; for such unusual weather can-
not tend to the benefit of any kind Of produce
