THE RIGHT SPIRIT.-The Southern 0ber-
vile Parish) Sentinel, referring to the effort to
inaugurate an era of internal improvements in
this State, enunciates the following sentiments:
"We should feel far happier in being the in-
strument in causing a heaLthful excitement in
our parish with reference to the above lauda-
bic enterprise-and thus set before our youth
an example worthy for them to follow-than
we could possibly feel in the victory of this or
that candidate in the field of politics; and it is
a great pity that the former and not the latter
was the exciting topic among the people gem
orally"
We have only to succeed in thoroughly in
doctrinating the people, young and old, of the
whole State with this sentiment in order to
revolutionize the domestic industry of Louisi-
ana and add millions to its wealth. To what
possible end is this everlasting din upon poll
tics, unless it be to distract the attention Of
the people from objects Of the greatest practi~
cable utility, affecting the real prosperity of
the State and every mans prosperity with it,
and to fix it upon distractions about which
men equally patriotic and honest have differed
and will differ, though a whole Mississippi of
ink should be poured out upon them. Politi"
cal matters in their appropriate place and at ap-
propriate times we are by no means opposed
to, as our labors testify. But W. submit that
there is such a thing as carrying them too far
and bestowing too much attention upoa them
to the neglect of objects of immediate, practio
cal, pressing Importance such as are now be-
fore the people Of Louisiana. These objects
require our united and persevering energies, as
upon their accomplishment depends our posi-
ton as a State and our prosperity as individu>
als.-N. o. Bulletin.

DR.. CATLN.-Dr. Catlin who has suddenly
become famous Or rather infamous through his
connection with the recent Cunningham false
baby delivery business, is a native of Durham,
Conn, and studied medicine with DR.. Tyler, of
New Haven. After receiving his diploma, in
l849, he p~ractieed medicine for a short time in
Derby. He married Miss Beecher, a cousin Of
Henry Ward Beecher, and a sister of Rev Mr..
Beecher, of Saratoga, TO which place, it will
be remembered, Miss Augusta Cunningham
was preparing to 60 last winter. Catlin's wife
left him last spring, and has refused TO live
with him since.

SINGULAR Co1NoDENcE.-Capt: Hudson, of
the U. s. steam frigate Niagara, in a letter.

Secretary of the Navy, announces that the

One of the papers in the Third Congression-
al District announces the intelligence, by tele>
graph, Of the appointment of T. G. Davidson
as Charge d'Affaires to Denmark. This is
news to us, but may be true, and would GER
tainlY be a capital stroke of the Washington
wire-pullers to get rid of old Tom, satisfy his
ambition, and restore harmony to the District.
Bee.
We made the statement, as stated elsewhere
on the strength Of a telegraphic dispatch which
we saw, or dreampt we saw, in the Picayune.
Really, we think the best thing that the De-
mocracy can do with T. G. Dis to send him
to Denmark, the Fegee Islands, or somewhere
else.

The SoUTHERE CoNyENTIoN.--We give

felt in the subject d alive could CLEAN from

Convention at Knoxville. The whole thing IS
a ridiculous farce, IN our estimation, more es-
sentially, so, if possible, than any of its farci-
cal predecessors The consumption of a day
and a half discussing at the outset, the absurd
proposition TO exclude certain reporters, was
of itself enough TO turn everything else the
Cnvention mightdO into misunderstanding

KENTUcKY.-It is stated that the next legisc
iature of this State will be Democratic, for the
first time in many years.

The MISSION TO DENMARK.-There seems
to be some error or hoar about T. G. D. being
appointed Minister to Denmark. We saw the
telegraphic despatch to the Picayune, but have
seen no ~allusion made to it by any of the pa
pers Of the District, which continue to support
and denounce him as a Candidate for Con-
gress.
Since the above was given to the compositor
we have opened the Comet and Gazette, in
which we observe the following:
Bradburn of the Sentinel at PIaquemine will
oblige us, to give credit for what he gets out
of this paper. We want no credit for our own
thoughts but when we go to work at an out
lay of money to establish a telegraph line of
our own-entirely independent of the "consol-
idated," or any other press, we want-what
we deserve to have 'proper credit for the ens
terprise." The item about Col. Davidson ila-
wing the appointment of Charge to Denmark
was a mere Fumor at Washington, since con-
tradicted. On the strength Of it you 60 to
work, without a line of credit and make a lea
der headed "There is something Healing in
Denmark" You say you can see in this stroke
of policy athe hand of John Slidell--prominent
like the writing on the wall" Here Sir you
are simply mistaken, the distinguished Sena-
tor, knows nothing Of the matter--he is now

Newport.
We acknowledge the corn--but, gracious!
what a mistake, TO suppose it was the Pica~
gwns in which the announcement alluded TO
appeared when it was only the Comet and Ga.
asae; Of course, we would have put it down rs
a hoax at once, had we not mistaken the paper
in which this rumored appointment appeared.

Lefevre, q wealthy sugar planter at Lafourehe,
died recently, without issue--his wife having
preceded him to the grave. His estate was ap.

deceased in France, consisting of nephews and

previously made a will in which his French
relatives were handsomely remembered but
on returning from a visit to them, not long

tore the will to pieces and wrote a new one,
leaving everything to his wife's nephew and his

Oh, that Antioch were London! Fancy seven

pounds of fish for one shilling, and fruits and
vegetables sufficient for ones household, for
two pence o week. If we remember Alright,
