We now look upon the branch TO con.
meet with the Opclousas Railroad as Z
fixed fact. During . recent journey we
fell in with number Of the most inf1uen-
tial men connected with the Opelousas
road as we'll as the most substantial plant.
ers Of our parish, and they al expressed
themselves in very sanguine terms ~ to
the early success Of the project. Steps
are now being taken to have ! survey
made, and other prcliminaries arranged.
In = few days we expect to publish an
estimate Of the cost Of the work, and the
terms upon which It can be contracted
for. The Opelousas Company are ready
to extend every assistance to the enter
prise. excep. direct contributions, which
would not Be justified under present cir
cunstances, ~ all their available funds
must be employed in extending the main

let every man use his influence and apply
himself with energy to the task, and in a
few months We shall accomplish our objec,
and find ourselves enriched by the en-.
HANGED value Of our property.

THE MAELsTRoM ExrINcr.--rb. or.,,

which every one who was ever 4 xIool
boy has read. it appears either mere, hd

mission went out and sailed all around ,u
all over where the maelstrom was said 10
be, but could not find it; the sea was y

We presume the above is correct. La.
geographers and gazetteers barely alluds
to the maelstrom. Cotton, in bis hr.

not allude to it in bis description Of Nor.

upon Norway, says that "among The NJ.

the coast navigation dangerous. Among
these is the celebrated Mal-Strom,

ABOLITION MERCHANTS AND THE LAY
BooK.-We wish it distinctly understood,
saws that most excellent paper, the New
York Day Book. that we do not ask the
subscription, nor advertising of any aboli-
ZIONIST here or elsewhere, and whilst we
prescribe no man nor set OF men, we
claim it as our right to denounce both the
sentiments and the practices Of those mer-
chants who, while reaping rich reward
from their business connection with South
ern merchants, are using the fruits OF that
trade 10 rob the Southerners Of their
property.
We are in daily receipt of letters ask
ing us to point out to our Southern readers
these individual merchants, and many oil
our subscribers claim that they have as
much right to information respecting the
sentiments of merchants with whom they
do business as to know the quality and
price of merchandise.
Now, it must be plain to every man that
the Day Book cannot give list Of all the
abolition merchants in town, if it were SO
disposed, but we can, by restricting our
advertisements 10 such as agree with US
in sentiment, give our Southern readers a
tolerabIy correct idea Of who it is safe fol-
them to deal with, and we therefore make
this announcement that we not only do moi
ask, but hereafter shall refuse, the adver.
tisements of those who use the profits Of
their trade 10 war upon the South.

A SURPLUS OF DEMONSTRATING to
a correspondent Of the Medical World,
physicians have multiplied so rapidly in
this country that new. Aedged NJ. DIS are
puzzled TO find a community which require
their services. They are exceedingly nu-
merous in the Eastern cities, while the
West is actually overrun with the sons OF
Esculapius. The writer says he has
recently made extensive exploration to
and over the far-off West, and finds the
condition Of things as stated. In all the
thriving towns and settlements in Mime.
sofa, Kansas and Nebraska, there are
more medical men than patients. One or
two invariably monopolized tho business
worth having, but even the most celebrat-
ed are poorly compensated, while the
prospect is not lettering, The writer
very wisely counsels his young brethren to
become farmers. e'r

OLDEST Man IN AMERIcA.-A corre-
spondent in the Cassville, Ga. Standard,
says there is now living in Murray coun-
", Ca, on the waters Of Holly Creek, =
Revolutionary veteran who has attained
the age of one hundred and thirty -four.
His name is John Hames. He is known
throughout the region in which he lives
by the appe!lative of Gran'sir Hames.
Gran'sir is contracted for Grand Sire. A
grand sire he truly is. As was on my
way to visit this relict of the expired eigh-
teenth century, | inquired of an oldish
gentleman, of about sixty, if he knew him.
" o yes, know him." said he, she is my
grandfather
John Hames was born in Mecklenburg
county, Virginia. and was lad Of ten
years old when Washington was in his
cradle. He was thirty-two when Brad
dock met his disastrous defeat in the Mo.
nongahela. He, with several of his neigh
bors, set forth to Join the headstrong and
ilI-fated commander, but after several
days march were turned back by the
news Of his overthrow. He migrated to
South Carolina nearly hundred years
ago. He was in thirteen considerable
conflicts during the war Of independence.
and in skirmishes and rencounters with
Indians, with tories and with British, times
beyond memory. He was with Gates at
Camden, with Morgan at the Cowpens,
with Green at Hilsboro and Eutaw, and
with Marion in many bold rush into a
tory camp or red coat quarters.
Very learned psychologists have assert.
ed that every event and every scene in a
mans life remains indelibly engraved upon
the register Of the brain, and that they
may be again brought clearly before the
mental vision when the impressions Of
contemporaneous circumstances are shu,
out, as in sleep or trance. In that case,
what wonderful panorama must some
times be spread before tho mind Of that
Old man. 3.+ 8 &C.,
