Yours truly,

SUSTAINING SlGuR.-The franklin (st. Ma
ry) Registers Democratic sheet, in noticing
the South West a newspaper lately started at
Baton Rouge, says:
The paper will, we learn. advocate the elec-
ton of Dir. sigur for Congress in the Third
Congressional District, and oppose and expose
the schemes of the "clique," the head and front
of which is as well known to the Democracy
of the country parishes as il is to the Democ.
racy Of New Orleans by the soubriquet of the
Exchange Alley SQUAD clique that has,
in the opinion Of the Democracy of the country
parishes, foisted Davidson on the party. The
Southwest will be devoted to the advocacy
Of Southern Rights as laid down In the Geofo
gia resolutions Of 1850 and In the Democratic
State Convention of 1855, and will stand
squarely on the late Georgia and Mississippi
resolutions.

Marcelin 4 AlDrecht's
RfsSuIpR1ite OF Limee

Manufacturing industry is one of the princi-
pal sources of public wealth. As such, it is
entitled to the encouragement and fostering
kindness Of the press. We therefore esteem
it a duty to promote every species of manufae<
ture established amongst US, and especially all
enterprise Of an extensive and important char
acter.
Every year, we take occasion to describe the
valuable properties possessed by The Bi-SuI-
phite Of Lime, and to point out the immense
benefit It is comforting on the sugar interests
Of our State. It is unnecessary to recapitulate
now. the statements of said properties, especi-
ally as the Sugar planters properly appreciate
the value Of this defeating agent, and know
perfectly well that It's employment has now be.
come Indispensable. We have only again to
advise them that This product has made great
progress, and that, this year, the manufacturers
named below have made great Improvements
in its preparation.
The New Orleans papers are referring
amongst Others, to the establishment recently
erected in that city, BY Messrs. MARcELrr g.
ALBRIGHT, and considering II as incontestably
one of the most importantin the city. We re.
fer TO the same ourself. We are justified in
that their mandatory is really d mod,
ell of its kind. 1t is arranged on an immense
and in conformity to a new plan invented
by the proprietors themselves. The maehines
~ is constructed in such a manner, and with so
much power, as to be equal to any in use in
the United States and the results obtained BY

its applications are truly marvellous. The pro.
duct Of these works is of the highest excela
lence, and has nothing whatever to fear from
competition.
We understand that these gentlemen manu-
~facture, in the short space Of two hours, Bis
SuIpbite of Lime of the strength of l4o Baume
and are inventors of q new process very ProlI-
table to Bi<SuIphite preparations. Messrs'
MARcELN g. ALBRIGHT are, therefore, fully
entitled to the confidence and patronage OF the
sugar-planters. They undertake TO furnish
invariably their BiaSulphite at 100 uniform
strength, and guarantee that it will not fall be
low that standard.
The reputation of these gentlemen stands
already high in the interior of the State. NJ.
ALBRIGHT was favorably known as the partner
of DR.. BERNARD; and NJ. MARcELIN, as the SUI
perintendent of the works founded by him s
wears AGO. in the name of N. Orleans Southern
Chemical Works, and conducted by him eight
months ago in copartnership with Mrs. H.. Bon
MABEL. The planters are aware that the intro
duction of this article in Louisiana, and the
erection of the works necessary for its prepar~
alton, are due to the energy and perseverance
of Marcelin. The Bi-Sulphite manufactured
BY him, at the New Orleans Southern Chemi~
cal Works under the name of II. BoNNABEL,
was so superior in quality and strength, that it
was purchased with avidity by our planters,
and had a particular preference in the market;
the above mentioned improvements will in~
crease it again.
Such are the claims of Messrs. MARcELIN &
ALBRIGHT to public confidence. No one will
contest their suficiency. We know perfectly
well, that in spite Of the power of the machine
~, and the extent of the works conducted by
them, the greatest possible activity will be re-
CURED to fulfill the orders already entrusted
to them, as we'll as the additional ones they
will undoubtedly receive. The sugar planters
may rest assured that the Bi-Sulphite they pro-
cure from this establishment, viii prove entire-
ly satisfactory. We direct attention to the
advertisement of Messrs. MARcELIN & AL
BRECHT in another column.

Der 10th. the meeting was broughtto order by

ADVERTISING VILLATNs.-The northern cities
have a score of the above operators, who send
their advertisements about the country, with
seeming very fair and honest offers to get them
inserted in the papers, and generally with sues
cess. We acknowledge TO having been bit by
them more than once, upon the principle that
although the one previous proved to have acted
villainously, the last one might be honest, but
we have found little or no honor among those
New York and other Northern advertisers. We
shall mark this article to a few Of them, and If
we have not satisfaction by return mail, we
shall at least expose their names. that their wills
lainies may be stopped. An exchange, writing
on this subject, says:
We are constantly receiving advertisements
from New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and
other cities, which authorize US to publish and
forward bill at the end of three or Six months.
All such advertisements. without a solitary
exception, are cheats, and the advertisers are.
unmltigated scoundrels. There is still anoth,
er kind. They send an advertisement, which
is to be inserted at a very low rate, fixed bv
themselves, and to be paid in printers ink, (ai~
ways A.. - or gold pens, or target pistols. or
some worthless gimeraek. They also are nn-
mitigated~ seoundrels. They add meanness to
knavery, by proposing 10 use the newspaper
proprietor as an accomplish, without the gen.
crosby to divide with him the "spoils of
wrong"
We receive such propositions frequently
We do not read them through, but throw them
under the table. Hereafter we intend to en-.
pose the scoundrels, il. they continue 10 insult
and annoy US with such trash.

Three Cheers for Madison, Car"
roll, and T'ensas!
THE Madison Journal buuIS doan The DAVIDSON
flag and runs up that Of Laurent J.
Sigur!

The democracy of these three sterling demo-"
cratic parishes, says the Clinton Democrat, have
ratified the nomination of L. ]. Sigur with the
same enthusiasm and unanimfty that lberviIle
and West Baton Rouge did. We have the
most fattering accounts from the parish of
Avoyelles. The battle RACES, and the people
are rushing to the standard of the gallant Sis
our. The Madison Journal of the 9th instant,
Indignantly tears down the Davidson flag, and
unfurls the banner of sigur. Every day weak
ems Davidson, while it strengthens the true
nominee of the democratic party.
The Madison Journal says:
ave have believed, and have so expressed
ourselves that in the contest in this Congress
sional District Mr.. Thomas Green Davidson
would receive the strength of the democratic
party of this parish. We believed so because
we thought Mr.. Davidson was prepared to
vindicate his character and position as the
nominee of the democratic party before the
people of the district, against all his assailants.
We stated to him and to his friends that if he
would do this-if he would meet his opponents
on the stump as the representative OF the demo~
cracy should do, and, armed with the panoply
of truth, vindicate himself ana bis supporters
from the serious charges preferred against him
and those who were mainly instrumental in
his nomination-lhere could be no doubt as to
the result of the election. Mr.. Davidson has
failed 10 do this, and the consequence has been
for some time apparent not only to us, but to
every observing democrat. While Mr.. Sigur,
from the moment of his nomination has been
gaining in the confidence and esteem of the
Democracy, Mr. Davidson has Just as constantly
been losing ground. In this condition of things,
the democracy of Madison parish have acted
They have been governed by what they COM
ceived the true interests of the party demanded
at their hands. Its action was explicit and nn-
misktable. With all the facts before them
they have unanimously declared in favor of
Laurent ]. Sigur, as the democratic candidate
for Congress in this district.
With that declaration we are not only cons
tent. but heartily gratiied. Under the banner
of Sigur we shall fight strenuously had hope.
fully. We look to an assured triumph not only
for the man of our choice, but for the prinei7
pies that are dearer than oil personal considera-
tions to every true democrat"
Such is the enthusiastic and emphatic en-
dorsement of Mr.. LII. Sigur by the Journal.
Here is the resolution of the Democracy
passed / at one of the largest and most enthusi~
astic meetings ever held in that parish. They
speak for themselves:

How TO EAT GRAPEs.-The Medical Maya
zine has the following suggestions relative to
the proper manner of eating grapes:
"When in health swallow only the pulp;
when the bowels are costive and you wish to
relax them, swallow The seeds with the pulp,
ejecting the skins; when you wish to check a
too relax state of the bowels, swallow the pulp
with the skins, ejecting the seeds. Thus may
the grape be used as a medicine, while at the
same time it serves as a ~relaxity, unsurpassed
by any other fruit. An adult may eat from
three or four pounds a day with benefit. 1t is
well to take them with or Immediately after
your regular meals"

A NOBLE FELLow.-Mr. J. A. Foster, Of
Harrisburg, Pa, a passenger on the Central
America, when called upon by the New York
Aid Committee, refused to take a cent of the
$50 offered to him by the committee, saying
that he had enough money to take him home,
and there were Others more destitute than him
self. When rescued Mr.. Foster had 800,
which he presented to Capt, Johnson and the
crew of the bark Ellen. He lost by the wreck
$1,000, which were the fruits Of his business
during the past seven years.
