RowDYIsM.-Last night rowdyism pre-
vailed to an alarming extent, bowie
knives, pistols, and cudgels being freely
used, besides the brandishing of many
"cheese kniues." We had hoped that
since the additional Police came into
power, rowdyism would be,in some meas
ure, checked; but instead of being on the
decline, it is rapidly increasing, and can
dor compels us to say that we have never
seen the evil complained of prevail to such
an extent. We would here suggest to
those under whose surveillance the police
are, the propriety of seeing that they per-
form their duty well and impartially, and
thus bring to justice the miscreaDts who
are in the habit Of disturbing the peacea-
BILE and quiet citizens of our neighborhood.
We trust there will be no occasion for our
again alluding to this subject.

U. S. COURT.-Judge HALLIBURTON
presiding.-ChMles CoDzan, youth 10
wears of age, was arraigned to-day, and
when called upon to plead, arose as pale
as death, and for some time his Ups were
sealed; at length he said: Gentlemen of
the jury plead guilty; in an unguard-
ed moment committed the act, and would
afterwards have given the world had
never have done it, All | can ask, gentle
men, is that, as | am young, it may go
some way in mitigating my punishment"
Mr.. Taz. Taylor, his counsel, made some
feeling remarks, stating that this youth
was the darling of fond and doting mo-
ther The Court, Jury and Bar seemed
much affected, and many tears were shed.
The Jury found him guilty.
The Judge will, during the term, SEN
tence him, for not less than ten nor more
than twenty years-the minimum and
maximum terms. 1t will be remembered
his crime was rifing letters of money in
the Post Office in Portsmouth, whilst en-
ployed there as clerk.
MAYORS CoURT.-The session of this
tribunal was quite lengthy, though there
was but little business before his Honor.
THREATENING.-Bil Brown, slave of
VIM. Simmons, was this morning brought
before Mayor Ferguson upon the charge
of threatening to whip and actually strik-
ing Capt Tubbs. Such scamps deserve
to be punished to the full extent of the
law, and our worthy Mayor this morning
determined to make an example of Bill,
and ordered him to be the recipient of
thirty-nine stripes. We hope officer Nell
son laid them on well.
ROMEO AND JULIET.-A white woman,
fourishing under the cognomen of Juliet,
lodged complaint against her lover, Romeo,
who, however, turned the tables upon her,
proving that she was the aggressor and
not the aggrieved The Mayor repri-
manded the fair one severely, advising her
in future to attend to her own business,
informing Romeo that if he was again dis
.4urbed by her she should be placed away
for safe-keeping.
DIsoRDERLY CONDUCT. - Ann Eliza
Curlett, Ann Eliza Jones, and Emma
Clark, of Little Water street notoriety,
was up before His Honor this morning,
charged with disorderly conduct in the
streets, but upon promises they were per-
mitted to depart
LoDGERs.-At the Watch House last
night there were two applicants for lodg-
ing, who were kindly accommodated by
Capt. Guy.

Progress Of the mighty pllgrlm.

4. From the Bastrop (Morehouse Parish) Advocate,
Of the I'D inst, we clip the following item of i'm
portant moment:
llsTMGuIsHED ARRIyALs..-We are informed that
the (p1ss Qns.sI pha HdeN and sIohn NJ. Sapi
dige, paid clFtswn = Visit the sass ~eekss WeSEo
not like TO be "quisitive az Mrs. Darlington said to
her Ike hut we would like to know the object Of
their mission to this wild country, any how. We
presume they merely came to take birds eye view
Of our fertile country, and to see how their Demo-
cratic friends are getting along The honorable gen
tlenen made such short stay that we did not have
sight at them. We have no great penchant for seeing
Mr. Sandige, because we have already seen and can
see the likes ohm every day. but it certainly would
be rdrd aris to us to see John Slidell, the Grand
Mogul Of the Louisiana Democracy, insomueh as we
have never seen any of the great men belonging to
that party. f.,s..s.. ..
One of our contemporaries has remarked that this
is the maiden visit Of Senator sas3t4. to North
Louisiana! We trust the maiden visit will prove
"a pleasant visit. 1t certainly ought to- We doubt
not the Achilles and Talleyrand of his party-the dis
tnguished Senator has the credit Of being both,
whether rgbtully wrongfully we are not prepared
to say--will be pleased with the people and the
country he is seeing and travelling through for the
first time. A more intelligent or a more honest
people do not live anywhere in the Southwest, and
finer country cannot be found on the surface of the
globe. T-
We are not advised as to whether ex-senator Soule
intends making tour of the North and Northwest
thisseason. We should not be surprised, however, if
he is heard and felt IN the State Convention of his
party which meets at Baton Rouge the 18th ofneXt
month, and after, by an extended canvass of the
State. Mr.. S. is glorious speaker, and can arouse
more enthusiasm among the masses of the Democ-
racy than any mai in the commonwealth with the
single exception perhaps, of Major Herron the Sec
rotary Of State.
As pilgrimages appearto be the order Of the day,
would it not be well for other huge patriot to
follow the lustrious example thus admirably set?
