New Orleans Appointments.
The New Orleans Crescent, in remarking on the ap-
pointments to Federal Offices in New Orleans. SAYS

The New Orleans Crescent, in remarking on the ap-
pointments to Federal offices in New Orleans, says:
The New Orleans Federal appointments Just about what
list as in teleeraphc dispatches we say
in material degree disappointed If there anti
the fact shall consider entitled hut
This is a significant fact The result we believe
will show that in bestowing office at the South, those
whose national proclivities most distinguishing
will be preferred. They will invariably De found to
be, in party sense, " Union men," Mr.. Howell Cobb,
of Georgia, will see to that.
The circumstance of having gone to the Cincinnati
Convention and voted for Mr. Buchanan, may operate
to make some an exception. 1t was well known be-
fore the Presidential election that Senator Slidell
the favorite fright hand man" of Mr.. Buchanan
in Louisiana and it does not at all surprise that his
Ostend associate has been sacrificed for Mr.. Slidell
The Slidel and Soule parties divide the Democracy of
New Orleans and the former has signally trumphed.
To the superior odor Of his nationality or unonism,
he is indebted for it. Be it remembered that Mr..
Soulc leads the Southern Rights and Young America
Division while Slide is an oily and INSCRIPTIONS
trickster, with whom party success is the supreme
good, and principle merely a very accommodating
profession to its attainment. Southern Rights
men may now see how office will be dispensed ~
[Coumbia South Carolinan.
In the main, our South Carolina cotemporary is
correct, but he falls into small mistake, will pro
ceed to rectify. He thinks Mr. Side is indebted for
his supremacy over Mr. Soule in this State to the
superior oior of his nationality or unionism." This
is an error. Mr.. Sldell owes his triumphs to the
matchless tact and management of himself and
friends combined with the possession of an abundant
amount of the sinews of war; which are just a
potent here as in Philadelphia if not little more so

MYSTERIES OF THE LAw.-John s. Sprague has
escaped punishment. at Portland, Me-, by being
proved more guilty than he was charged with in the
Indictment. He was tried by the Supreme Court for
bigamy last week. and the fact of his having had two
wives was clearly established, when his counsel intro
duced evidence prove that he had already had one
wife when married to the other two in fact, that he
had three wives at once and as the indictment was
based upon the assumption that the second marriage
was the first and legal marriage, it was contende
that as the last marriages considered by themselves
no bigamy was committed, because Sprague was the
legal husband of neither. The Judge sustained th.
position, the case mol. prosd and the man wh'
was charged with having two wives got clear b,
proving that be had three. Great and wonderful l.

Horace Greeley, of the New York Tribune, has
had another domestic bereavement. He has just bu-
ried his only remaining son, lad of nearly seven
years of age. 1t was only few years ago that Mr.
Greeley lost his first born, bearing his own name
the same one that Margaret Fuller, the Countess
D'Ossoli, wrote about so tenderly.
We sympathiZe with Mr.; Greeley, and can appre-
catc the desolation which broods over his home
When Preston S. Brooks was stricken down, and a
wife was made widow, and her children fatherless-
when an aged mother was made ch dless and bereft

shall not insinuate that in taking from him his only
son, God intended to punish him for his sins, but we
trust that the lesson may not be thrown away upon
him, and that in future he may look with more char

mortals. [Vicksburg Whig.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF An AMERICAN SHIP CAP
TAIN. = We learn from the Kingston (Jamaca)
Standard that on the 23d of February Capt. Parker
of the American brig Sea Foam, was burned so badly
that he died soon afterwards. The accident was
caused by pot of turpentine being gnited and upset
upon the deck. The Captain rushed forward to ex
tinguish it, hat slipped and fell directly into the
flames

sepulehres of sentiment. Sweet is flower, when re-
ceved in its freshness from the hand Of loEe bt far
sweeter is it when in after years whilst the hand that
gave it is mingng with the dust, it is drawn from
its long hidden recess. 1t is then coIorless scentess
and dry-but, oh, how sweetly redolent of tender
memories! The bright, loving eye, the sweet smile

heart in mourning back to the past

A New ENTERPRISE IN NORTH LouIsIANA.-We
learn from the Mansfield Egis that cotton and wool
porated. Why may not such an undertaking succeed
there and at other favorable points among us? How
many inviting situations for similar enterprises
presented by the never failing streams of our pine
hills? Let us raise our own cotton and WOOL our
pork, beef mutton, wheat, etc. Let us spin our own
yarn and make our own clothing, and how independ
ent and happy we may soon become-how much that
is now expended elsewhere may be retained to en-
rich us at home, and to enable US to build up our
schools and colleges, erect and adorn houses of pub
lie worship, improve our roads and embellish our
homes. All this can be effected in North Louisiana,
and it will later. from the fertility of the
soil and the saubrty of our climate, be the inevitable
result OF wiser appreciation OF our own true inter
ests. 1t is but question of time. Why do we defer
it Mount Lebanon Baptist, 10Th inst.
The foregoing remarks are suggestive and signi-
cant. They entitled to the careful consideration
of the citizens of North Louisiana, and the citizens of
all other portions of Louisiana. In fact they wor
thy the profound attention of all citizens of the COT
ton-growing States. Uhy are not cotton factories
not established all over the South-near the fields
where the snowy staple blooms blossoms and natures
in exhaustless profusion? Why do we not bring the
looms to the cotton, instead of allowing inimical
parties to caryt off thousands ofmiles to the looms
These are questions we have asked in these columns
almost times innumerable, pointing out at the same
moment the permanent advantages the liberal profits
and the stable commercial independence that would
inevitably follow an extended system of home, manu-
featuring.
We are glad the movement is finding favor in our
State. The above is but one of similar enterprises
we have been delighted to notice within the past year.
We trust the good example will spread until we fabri-
cate at home at least one-haf of the product of
great staple. Then we shall be really independent,
in the best sense of the term, but not BEFORE
