Webb have escaped is mystery which
puzzles us exceedingly. Bat why the
democracy-when the black republicans prove
so very black-why the spoils democracy, we
say, should prove to be so Unexpectedly free from
the tar and pitch of the lobby is wholly incom
prehensible. We suppose it will be their turn
next time.
We regard this late investigation, great and

instalment of heavy bill; and that nine-teuths

RantOul, formerly House and Senate member
from Massachusetts,, from mere little contingent
interest, we believe, in this Central road land
scheme, left to his heirs the snug little sum OF
$l56000--an interest which would have been

If they would be avenged, let them prosecute
their researches into the democratic camp. The
New York Seward managers are corrupt set of
spoils and plumber jobbers we all know, but it is
impossible that all the lobby rogues can belong to
the New York Seward division of the late great re-
publican party. Mr.. Matteson, Mr. Edwards, Mr..
Gilbert, Mr. Greeley and Mr.. SimontOn comprise
not more than one-tenth Of the lobby schedule
which we voluntarily furnished the Committee
through the HERALD at the beginning of this in
quiry. Let us have another committee of the
kind at the next session, and every session here
after. 1t is the only course to trim down the
lobby and stop its mischievous work of changing
honest but pliable members of Congress into
gangs of confederate rogues

The Jackson Parish Times of the 30th ut. says:
Refreshing showers and sun-shiny days have pro-
duced wonderful change in the appearance OF cot
ton, corn, etc. Vegetation looks verdant and grow
ing and the prosp ct of abundant harvest is in
deed tlattering consequently, the farmers have
thrown aside their seeming apostolic airs and have
assumed gay and cheerful mien. The late frosts un-
douhtedly damaged the wheat crop but we have
heard of no one placing lower estimate on this
years yield than half crop. Even at this low est
mate the number of bushels of wheat made this year
will exceed those of last year from the fact that twice
the quantity of land has been Cotton and corn
though damaged from the same cause, are fast re-
covering from such drawbacks.
| The Opclousas Patriot of Saturday last says:
! For the past week we have been blessed with de
lghtfully pleasant days and clear cool nights, the
effect OF which is in the less elongated faces Of
our country friends in the agricultural line. There
are now strong expectations of respectable crop o
sugar, and cotton is not altogether hopeless, while
corn, from present appearance will be abundant.
The St. Martin Star of Saturday last has the fol
lowing:
Every few days we have regular change in tn
weather. which must be satisfactory to every restes
and discouented being. We have been informed b
the g. older folks that they have experience
such severe and Sudden changes in this particula

ATTRMpT AT PoIsoNING.-The Vernon Times OF the
Both ult, published in Jackson parish, relates the
following case of attempted poisoning bya slave of
Col. JAS E. Battle
Mrs. Battle, it appears, had been absent from home
on q visit to some friend and during her absence this
negro procured some strychnine it is supposed from
a VOL which was purchased to poison birds The ne
gro discovered Mrs. Battles carriage approaching
home and carefully dropping the poison in water
gourd filled with water she waited until her mistress
alighted from the carriage and the door and
then offered her the water. small quantity of the
water was sufficient to produce sickness upon the spot
probably ere thirst was quenched Suspicion was
aroused the water was anayzed and found to contain
strychnne. The negro, we learn, was accused and
confessed the deed. Col. Battle is now prosecuting
the infatuated creature, who was the most valuable
slave on his plantation.

SENTENCE the general court-martlal
convened at Fort Mason, Texas, Private Archibald
Mcdonald, of Company D. I'd regiment of Cavalary,
was arraigned on the charge of violation of the fifty
second article of war;" the specification being as fol-
lows:
THAT the said Private Archibald Mcdonald, being
one of scouting party under the command OF FIRST
Sergeant Walter Mcdonald, of Company d, I'd Cav
airy, and being engaged in fight with the Indians,
did shamefully misbehave himself by endeavoring to
avoid going into the action and did behave in such
cowardly manner that it was necessary for the Ser
geant to threaten to shoot him if he did not do his
duty-all this near the Concha river, Texas. on or
about the 18th day of February, 1857.
The court found him guilty of both charges and
specifications, and sentenced him " to be hanged by
the neck until dead at such time and place as the
President of the United States may direct
The President considered the case; but, upon the
proofs exhibited on the record he did not find the sol
der guilty of the mshehavor before the enemy which
ought to forfeit his life therefore, the sentence o
death was not confirmed But as there was sufficient
evidence to show Private Mcdonald to be unworthy
the military service of his country he was ordered
be discharged from the army with forfeiture of pa.
and allowances. Washington Union, I'd.
