uon. 1ohn G. Rreckenridge.

This distinguished gentleman, the Vice Pre-
| sident of the United States, arrived in Baton
Rouge the latter part of last week, in company
with his wife who is in feeble health. The
Breckenridge Club organized on the occasion,
when Mr.. B. addressed them. Previous to gil
wing a synopsis of his speech, which we are
sorry we have not time 10 repubIish, the Adco-
cafe says:
This distinguished American citizen and
statesman, at present Vice President of the
United States, who has been sojourning among
us since Saturday last, leaves to-day (Tuesday)
on the steamer Belfast for New Orleans, and
will proceed immediately thence to Washington
by the Eastern route. His visit to our city
was for the purpose of trying a change Of
climate on the health of Mrs. Breckenridge,
who will remain here with her friends and reta'
tives during the winter,
During his short stay, BIai. Breckenridge has
been visited by a vast number Of our citizens,
who have been received and entertained by our
visitor with that winning suaVity and easy grace
which are the characteristics Of the gallant
Kentuckian. The truth is, our Vice President
has captivated and won over all with whom he
has come in contact, without distinction of age,
sex, condition or political bias. He has touched
the sympathetic chord Of a warm hearted COM
munity in his brief intercourse with it, and it
has responded with a gush Of generous admi-
ration and reciprocal esteem and good will.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Crescent gives about half a column of
a synopsis of the Presidents Message, which
was delivered on the 9Th. We see nothing
peculiarly interesting or striking thus far, to
warrant US in publishing the abstract, p%articu-
larly as it is our intention to publish the Mes.
ssge in full.
Che President recommends the passage of
an Uniform bankrupt law.
He condemns Filibustering, and commends
tbasubject to the serious attention of Con-
gress. He recommends the adoption Of such
measures as will be e%ffectual in restraining our
citizens from such lawless acts.
He is opposed to any other portion of the
Kansas constitution being submitted to the
people except what relates to domestic insti-
%tutions. The election will be held under Les
g%islative authority, and if the people do not
vote it is their own fault.
Oar difficulties with New Grenada are in a
fair way Of settlement. Our Minister to China
will cooperate with the British and French
Ministers in all peaceful measures TO secure
commercial privileges which China cannot be
permitted to withhold.
Oar foreign relations are all peaceful except
with Spain; ou'rages upon our flag remain IN
acknowledged. The President will send out
a new Minister, and the fullest satisfaction de-
manded.
Our Central American difficulties with Great
are still unsettled. The President rec
ommends the CIayton-B uIwer treaty 10 be all
out and to commence anew.
The above are all the subjects touched upon
in the synopsis alluded to; the TELEGRAPH then
failed to work.

The citizens of our burg were much excited
on Tuesday by a report that a rabid dog bad
been running through the town, and that after
biting a number Of Dogs he met in his career
one Of our most respectable citizens, Mr.. G.
w. BATLEY, and bit him on the hand. A phy-
stefan was Immediately sent for and the wound
cut out and cauterized. With this precaution
We hope and believe that our esteemed friend
will escape al! further sufferings usually ap-
pretended as the result of such accidents. For
our part, while we would advise all necessary
precautions after being bitten by a dog sup
posed to be mad, we do not believe that a fae
tai result occurs to one out of fifty who are
thus reported to have been bitten. Very often
during our life, at various places that we have
lived, have we known persons to have been
bitten by dogs having all the traits and ap-
pearances of being rabid, bat we never yet
knew a case of hydrophobia to result there's
fore, we are under the impression that few of
the dogs supposed to be mad, are so rabid, or
are in that state or crisis, when their bite is ia,
tai. We would therefore say to our friend
above to think lightly of the matter, aud not
to allow his mind to brood over what, in all
probability is a very lrifing affair at all events
as we know the influence which the mind has
over the body, we would advise him TO have
no fears in consequence Of the misfortune that
occurred 10 him, as we are earnest in our
belief that nothing serious need be apprehenz
from the bite alluded to.
We understand that the dog referred to bit
several other persons, but we are not suficient-
y informed as to mention their names. The
dog was ultimately killed; and the council.
learn, are about taking stringent measures
Gas indeed il ought in justice to the safety of
our c%itizens)- to decrease the population of our
four~footed companions.

The Misunderstanding the first
part of the week, up to Wednesday, the wea-
Their was unusually and uncomfortabIy warm.
On Tuesday it elouded up and commenced
raining, and during the latter part Of Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning it poured down
in torrents. This state Of the weather Of course
q highly unfaVorable to the making Of sugar.
The heat was bad enough, causing the cane
juice to sour after the severe frost that preces
ded it; and now the rain ome to finish the
work Of destruction and make to a great ex-
tent unavailing the energy and industry of our
planters. There is no question, we think, but
that The sugar crop in this parish has been cut
of one quarter, If not more, from the c~aIcnIas
lions made previous TO the freeze of last month.
Since Wednesday the weather has been clear
and cold.

oUR SHEET.

According to promise we to@day issue the
Sentinel on an enlarged sheet, together with
other noticeable improvements) and which dir
mansions shall never be less in future while
the present proprietor's name stands at its
head, which We trust will be for many years
yet to come; and when by the fat o. law Of
nature it is destined that we have "made up
our last ~form''-wrjtten our last line-(if we
are no. forced to discontinue our labors before
that e%ventful day a~rrives] we trust that ike
another great man who, Rumor positively ass
serts. will soon 'leave his country for his coun
try's good" we shall be enabled, like him, to
name our successor"
1t is well known, however, that the length
of a papers existence. or it's prosperity, unlike
all other pursuits, does not depend upon the
extent of bis knowledge Of tue business on
the part of the proprietor, or the amount of
energy and industry he gives to il; if ii did

and Industrious than other peopIe-we should
have no fears or cares at any time with refer
ence to our ability 10 secure a respectable liv~
ing. But while other pursuits build their pro-
sperity upon the virtues above mentioned, that
of a country newspaper rests upon the side
it fakes in politics.
For several years past, up 10 a short time
back, we struggled as few men have under
similar circumstances, to maintain our Jour-
nal, but thanks TO those friends who stood by
US, we successfully weathered the storm which
to enguiph Us; and now, agreeing
with US in political sentiment as does such a
large majority of our feIiow~citizens Of lber-
ville-as verified at the last eIection-we have
cause to believe, from that fact and from the
of the many new names that have
been registered in our subscription
book, that the Sentinel is at this moment as
with the masses Of our parish as any
paper ever published here. AT all events, it can
not be said, from the present improvements or
Of our journal, that we feel d~iseour-
'gee or show any symptoms of adversely or
lecay.
As the Sentinel now stands politicalIy-and
las stood for a long time back-so will it con-
to stand, advocating State Rights De-
and the maintenance at all hazards of
constitutional rights, but no section
agitation save 10 preserve sectional integri-
y and TO secure sectional justice, and no |

A DESCENDANT OF R~oYALrY,--The Norfolk
papers, in announcing that a man named Barr
'hoiomew had been fined and imprisoned in that
city for shooting and woundingT T. T. Chopper,
state that on the trial it was proven that the
prisoner believed he was a descendant of the
royal family of France, and that it was a con.
deeension in him to speak TO common men. He
was kicked when a boy by a colt, which injured
his intellect. His father died in the lunatic
asylum at Mount Hope, having gone deranged
because Gen. Taylor beat Gen. Cass for The
Presidency.

Bonnabel,s hi suIph1te of Lime.

1t gives us pleasure 10 Reproduce in our
columns the following high and merited testi-
moniai in favor of the Southern Chemical
Works of Mr.. Fl. BoNNABEL. which we take
from the T}ue Della, the editor of which bes
ing an able chemist himself and engaged in ,
similar line of business, renders his judgment
of the Bi-Sulphite of Lime produced at these
Works, as of the Works themselves, of the
highest and most unquestionable character:
"The enormous demand for this very popular
and indispensable chemical in the pre- p~aralion
of sugar, appears to have had the effect of slim
ulating the enterprising proprietor Of the
Southern Chemical Works TO unusual exer>
tons, and instead of furnishing a preparation
weak and inefficient, as the demand increased
by the emergency created by the recent disas-
trous frosts, we find upon analysis that in pm.
rity and strength that now prepared, when the
season is nearly half over, is, Of anything, sup
erior to the unusually powerful Bi-Sulphite
hitherto this year supplied from the Southern
Works. We have had frequent occasion;both
during this and former sugar making seas onS,
to direct attention to this invaluable prepara-
ton, and it affords US very great satisfaction.
indeed, to find so well known and competent a
chemist as H. BonuabeI, instead of sighting
his work by negligence or Indifference. apply
ing the resources of his accomplished mind in
Improvements in The manufacture Of an article.
the purity and strength of which are so vital to
the sugar interests of our State.
The capacity of the southern chemical works
never been so severely taxed as this sea or.
and yet we have not heard Of a single djssap~
pointment caused any planter, notwithstanding
The unprecedently heavy demand upon them.
This fact of itself speaks volumes for the man
nfacturer, and will convey a just idea of the
immense capital expended on the essentially
laboratory"
