A New mniI Contract.

The Picayune thus speaks of a new mai
contract which will add much TO the convent.
ence and benefit of the people Of this section
Capt. Cotton, one of the mail contractors
for the conveyance of the Bayou Sara mai
recently drew the attention Of the department
to the advantage of having a four"day mail, in
stead Of a tbree,day; that is, the dispatch Of g
mail from New Orleans on Monday-the ne
cessity Of which we sometime since pointed
out to our readers. The propriety of the sug'
g~estion at once struck the Postmaster Genera
and yesterday morning a telegraphic dispatch
accepting the terms offered, and ordering a
mail to be prepared in future in accordance
there with, was received.
Under the old system the mail for Bayou
Sara was dispatched from this city on Sundays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, thus leaving the pub.
lie for three days without facilities. Now
this is most agfeeabIy obviated by the new
arrangement, and in such a manner as TO Sc
cure to all the to10nS on the route to Bayou
Sarah a regular daily mail, the Vicksburg pack.
cts delivering it on their days of departure,
which is q different schedule.
The contractors for the conveyance of the
Bayou Sara mail are gentlemen deserving of
praise, for their work is well done at all times
and the department, in enabling them to give
greater satisfaction to the public, evinces an
anxiety to deserve the appreciation and gratis
tude Of the latter, which we are sure will be
cheerfully accorded.
Messrs. CoTToN & LANDRY deserve the con-
tinued thanks and encouragement of the peo-
pie of the river parishes.

He is No More!--On Thursday last we gaz.
ed for the last time on the countenance of an
old and respected bachelor friend. His depar-
ture from what must have been to him a world
unexpected. For some time it has been ru-
mored that he entertained the dreadful idea of
making way nth himself; but that rumor has
not been generally credited till lately, when it
became pretty well understood and noticed
that his mind O0s aStray, arising from an ofec-
lion of the heart, which diseases we all know
are very sudden in their termination. The
unfortunate state of his mind (Which became
affected through the intensity of his sufferings)
was first noticed by 3 singular smile which all
of a sudden lighted up and never left his coun.
t%enance; by the unusual ~neatness of his appa~
raj; the unvarying brightness of his shoe lea.
Their, which formerly wore rather a foxy color;
his absence from public resorts at night the
promptness by which he paid his bills, to the
admiration (and probably the Gst~oniShment) Of
SOiASN1Oios LhO AO4uCHSS VI hH departures
down the river, when his friends knew he had
no court business in that direction and last
though not least, by his rising suddenly at the
tap of a friend on his shoulder, and
ing to address the court in a certain suit, by
saying " My dear - instead of "Your Honor"
All this evidently bespoke a mind sill at ease"
and gave evidence that the end of his career
was close at hand.
But he is gone! Mourn ye who may. He
lost not much, in a philosophical sense, by
losing the despicable friendlessness of a life
like his. Our bachelor friend, farewell!
AS we said, he departed soon after we left
him on Thursday last. His remains were ta~
ken down by the Natchez, and were to be con-
reyed 10 Terrebonne, where, by his request, bis
head would be deposited upon the bosom of
some terrestrial paradise which had formerly
attracted his fancy and his love. May that
good angel which the Arabians say watches
over and protects man from his birth 10 his
death, still cling to our departed friend, ard
introduce him TO a bliss in the life she has led
him, as will make him look upon the one he
has left with loathing and disgust. 2g# g g..

A Rare Visitor.

In going to our front door early on Wednes-
day morning last, we were surprised at seeing
the tOp~gallant masta Of a ship which was
then lying at the levee. The stranger proved
to be the Jno. Henry, all the way from BOsting.
with 9 cargo Of Ice for VEssrER & DUBucLET
Jr.-or we had better say, for the people of
Iberville-for this firm is only acting as the
intermediate agents for The distribution Of this
great luxury to every family in the parish that
requires 1t. After this cold spell, we expect
to have summer weather upon US hot enough,
and that Ice will be the great staple in demand.

The Approach of Slavery Emancipa-
tom.

Nothing has transpired of late SO well cal
culated to excite the fears of the Southern
people, than The late Municipal elections in ST
Louis, uhere an Anti Slavery candidate fol
Mayor was elected by nearly two Thousand
majority!
How great the change in so short a time i
What man would have been bold enough tC
have been the REORGANIZATION candidate
of st. Louis prior to the FREMONT 1omina@
ton? Aye, where, even, the man in that city
previous to that event, who, looking for Office
would have dared to breathe such sentiments
or the editor, who would have lent his col-
umns for the spread of a though! or Il word
in encouragement of Anti~Slayery or Eman-
cipation doctrines! ..a.
The times are sad and inauspicious for Sou
thern interests If SO great a revolution oc-
CURED in the political feeling of the people of
St. Louis within so brief a period, how soon
may not a similar feeling arise in Arkansas and
Northern Louisiana? 1t is a subject which
should engross the serious attention of the
whole South-one which should be met, as
we have before said, by "a united Southern
phaIanx"-by Southern members of Congress
in Congress, and by the Southern Press and
People out of Congress. Upon this subject
slavery Emancipation) let there be but one
party, and that the Southern Party. IT is too
grave a subject TO make a party subject of it.
He who attempts it, courts opposition, and
that is the surest way at length to introduce
it into a latitude where every element of it's
prosperity depends upon the free and unmo~
Tested progress of its institutions, a progress
which should not be impeded even by a jar Of
public sentiment, which sometimes sways q
people to their own destruction.
The better to show what a change has come
over the face of things in 81. Louis, we copy
the following transcandental article from that
popular and influential journal, the st. Louis
DEMONSTRATING out, however, the picture
of the large cannon at the head of the article,
belching out the smoke of death, and the Anne.
rican flag waving in triumph above it.:
From the st. Louis Democrat
OUR VICTORY

nv respects. The editor, in another article,
says that The opposition was composed Of the
Americans and a weaker branch of the Demo-
racy. The victory, he says, was achieved by
the "true Democracy" and we all know that
when the true Democracy become excited they
sweep everything before them.
But whether the victory was achieved by the
"true Democracy" or not, is a matter of but
little moment to the people of Louisiana. The
fact that the doctrine of the abolition of Sla-
very has been ~triumphsntly recognized by a
large majority of the people of st, Louis, is
what they should look at and ponder upon
The influence arising from that election will be
widespread, and its effects will be soon per-
ceiyed in other States THAI Missouri. When
Gen. WHITFIELD was here, he told us that if
Kansas was allowed to become a free State,
The free labor fever would soon spread over
