Supicioned Of Negro Stealiug,

A few days since Mr.. THos. c. BROWN, who
lives nearly opposite Plaquemine on the other
side of the river, observed q skiff coming down
the river containing a white man and a negro
Thinking it looked suspicious, Mr.. BROWN got
into another skiff and approached him for the
purpose of a~rresting him should bis suspicious
not be alIayed. The appearance Of things,
and the answers and language of the stranger,
not pleasing Mr.. B., the stranger was ordered
to pull the skiff ashore. This he done rather
reluctantly, enquiring of Mr.. Brown what right
had he to arrest him, and if he wasn't afraid
of being shot. To which Mr.. B. answered that
he too could shoot, and that he exercised the
right of arresting him that belonged to every
good citizen in time of necessity, or words to
that amount, as we understood. On stepping
ashore, Mr.. Brown observed female clothing
in the negro mans bundle. Inquiring what it
meant, he was answered because I'm a wor
man. which was the fact.
The white man and negro girl were accord
ingly brought over to PIaquemine and impriS
soned, and on the following day the former
was brought before Justice RILs, who after a
short examination, recommitted him to prison,
TO await his trial at the October term of our
Court, on an AFFIDAVIT made against him for me-
gro stealing. He gave his name as William
Henry Sherman. His tale was very contradic-
tory. We understand that he told the Justice
that he bought the girl in West Baton Rouge,
and that he stated when first arrested that the
girl was badly abused at some place in West
Baton Rouge and that he thought he would
take her out of harms way. or words equiya-
lent. The girl, We understand, denies that she
belongs to him.

The Case of Liett. waff7tt.

We find the following Verv emphatiand
highly complimentary repdt of the proceing
before the NAVAL Court otEnquiry, at Wish
ington, in the case of Liet ]. N. MafGtwho
it will be remembered, WIS one of the Wins
of the Retiring Board:
Naval Court No. / wascrowled Witspec-
tators today to hear the gidence of C1mo-
dores AuIick and McCauh. two of themost
distinguished officers in the case of Lien Maj
fit. The questions were Few but comehen-
sIve, and the answers wereto'the poiLt. Com
modore AuIick thought Lieut.. Mafittwas fiji
to serve, n%ot.onIy as i~rstLieutenant o a ship
but in any capacity on board aman~owar.-
Commodore McCauIey considered hinan Off
Ger OF great intelligence, and would AXE him
as the first Lieutenant of bis ship if e were
going into action with anenemy. Unjust be
recollected that Lieut.. M. was struckrom the
active service list and the fne of tomotion
because he had been for the last fifpen years
detailed on coast survey service, nth only
eight prior sea service. Commodore cCauley
thought this service well calculate to Sim
prove" not TO degrade an officer. It was a
better school than a man-Of.war. The latter
was most of the time at sea- wherethere was
but little duty and less responsibility. In the
coast survey service therevas a ~costant prac-
tice of seamanship among shoalsand rocks,
and a heavy responsibility At sn they had
nothing but the weather to watch. TIE Judge
Advocate asked, if about going nto a battle
he would risk his reputation on lieut.. Maffitt
as the first officer of bis ship? The Commo-
dore answered promptly that he would. What
a commentary this on the Retiring Board. A
number of dispositions, and amng them ex-
Secretary Dobbin's, was read in behalf Of the
claimant.
The subject Of the above noice is the son
of the late John Newlard Mafa, the celebra-
Methodist preacher, who did in Mobile a

rife Inst Island Catnstronhe.

The following article, from the Franklin
| Journal, relative TO observing, in some fitting
and appropriate manner, the anniversary OF
that terrible night on Last Island, when so ma
ny Of our citizens lost their lives, cannot fail
to be read with interest, and its suggestions
heartily agreed to, as highly proper and chris
tan. like. About fifty souls from this parish
were lost, and we doubt if any other parish
suffered as severely:
ADVERSARY OF THE LAST ISLAND CATAs-
TRoPHE.-At the suggestion of several gentle
men who were at Last Island during the storm
which ragged there on the 10th of August 1856,
it has been determined to celebrate in some
appropriate manner the approaching a%nniyer>
sary of that solemn event. For this purpose
it is proposed to call together on the 10Th of
August next, either in one Of our churches, or
elsewhere, as may be hereafter determined, all
who survived the storm, together with those
who lost near relatives and friends by that ter
rible disaster. 1t is expected that suitable
religious ceremonies will be performed, and
that one or more gentlemen will be appointed
TO deliver addresses appropriate to the occa~
sion. They who are taking the initiatory steps
in this matter, deeply sensible of the danger to
which they were exposed under the circumstan.
ces above referred to, believed it to be right
and proper that this anniversary should be
made the occasion of a general thanksgiving
to Almighty God for his protection to them
from death in one of its most terrible forms,
and they are also DESTROYS that at the same time
some suitable tribute of respect may be paid
to the memory of those many and dear friends
who fell victims TO the catastrophe.
In order that the above plan may be the bet
ter put in execution, those persons from this
and the adjoining parishes, who are interested
in this matter are requested to meet at Frank
lin, on Saturday the first day of August, for
Lbe purpose of making such arrangements as
nay be deemed necessary.

LAST WEEK OF NINE YEARs.--This number
of our paper concludes the ninth volume--or
fills out the term of nine years that the Senti>

its subscribers. 1t is a source of great graft
fication to US that all of our original subscri-
bers still remain except, alas those who have
gone before us to their tomb. May those who
yet live TO read this, live to see many long
years of happiness to come and through their

of life. We shall start next week on our

flat we have never had the honor of an offer

neither room nor inclination to NEEDLE with.
The following is the conclusion:
"a large majority of Democrats are tired of
being dictated to by a selfish and unscrupuu

mines Of said cliqueS," and cast their s~uffrages
10 November next for the Independent candi-
dates, be they Democrats or Know Nothings.
No nomination will be made, / presume, for
Sheriff, Recorder, Assessor and Coroner. as
the Independent candidates for those Offices,
are quite estimabIe, able and talented gentle
men, quite popular with Democrats and Know
Nothings, and will be supported by the whole
strength of the Know Nothing party, and a
majority of the Democratic party. But | think
that the Know Nothiugs will yet make nomi-

They should not allow their opponents the ho-

DIED.

fever, at the residence of Mrs. EMILY VOOLFOLK,
on Crosse Tete, EMILY W, daughter of TnEo.
DoRE and ELIZA JOHNSTON, aged six years, FIVE
months and ten days.
1t is terrible at all times to look upon death
it is hard 10 part with friends. even when they
have lived out the term of years usually allotted
to man-it is harder still to see them cut off in
the prime of life and the vigor of manhood; but
it is the s~eVerest trial of all to see snatched from
us by the cold, relentless hand of death, the little
object upon which our affections are centred
whose guileless ways have won our warmest,
deepest love, and who has wound herself around
our hearts, as the slender ivy entwines the tow
ering oak.
Little EElLY possessed a mind beyond her
years; a lively and c~ontented disposition, and her
bright eyes, cheerful countenance and merry.
ringing laugh, made everything joyous about her;
but alas! all that's bright must fade." She who
but yesterday was in the enjoyment of perfect
health-the pride of a fond father and doating
mother, and the idol of all her friends, now sleeps
in ~death-within the cold silent and gloomy
vault. Truly, death loves a shining mark."-
