yvIaat our Nelghbors Th1nk.

We occasionally see a notice in our ex~
changes from other parts of the State, of th e
Congressional canvass ia this District. They
are generally favorable to the success of Mr..
Sigur. Read what the VermiIIionville Echo
says:
Mr.. LAURENT ]. SIGUR.-This tale nted son
of Louisiana, has commenced the work of
Democratic Reformation in this State. He is
now a candidate for Congress in the Third
District, In opposition TO Judge Watterston,
the Know Nothing candidate and Mr.. Thomas
Green Davidson, the Soi-disSGnt nominee ofthe
Democratic party. The Louisiana Courier say
that Old Tom is the nominee; but unfortunately
for Mr.. Davidson, the time when the old or
gans's word was ''as good as gospel with the
Democrats of this State is passed; and many,
.nowra-days, do not look on the Courier as the
organ of the party, they have been made to be-
liege (and who with the facts before their eyes
wouldA that certain shrewd politicians who
have used the Democratic party as a means to
get into power, have managed so to get the
BONES graceS ofthe old organ, in order to perpe-
tuate their dynasty. We think that the days
of the old organ are passed. 1t is right enough
that Mr.. Davidson should complain of this, for
indeed ii interferes most materially with his
prospects Of holding a seat in the next Cons
rress; but we think that the old paper has no
riahtto complain, for it has had its days, and
fat ones too, fdes jours gras)
Now, 1t is a proposition too plain to be dis-
cussed, that a party, which like the Democratic
party, is based on principles, cannot remain
long under the regency OF any individual or set
Of men who us. it for selfish and personal purr
poses. Intrigues and corruption are artificial
means Of success. 1t is true that by making
use of these means, one man may get into
power; but that man is like an edifice with a
rotten foundation or without any at all, both
mustfall. The people will not stand it-and
sooner or latefthey will take matters into their
own bands, aud then, cursed be those who
have misled them, for the "day of retribution
will be Of short coming" This is what we
think the people of the Third Congressional
District win do. We have no other interest
in the contest between Mr.. Signr and Mr..
Davidson, except that which a Democrat feels
In the triumph Of Democratic principles, such
as the will of the people over combinations and
Vaccinations Of political "strikers and Wire
pullers.H Theirs Is no doubt that those who had
fired Up things, and who had pulled the wires
ia the soi,dissaaa convention that nominated
Mr.. Davidson, thought that everything had
been done Up brotgn; but il appears that the
intended patDpetS have found out the trick. and
they won't dance for old Tom any more.
We hope that Mr.. Sigur will be elected, not
merely ON account of his talents, energy and
purity Of character. both as a private and pub
lie man, butshis known devotion to the interests
Of the South, places him high In heestlmaslon

Fraud in every shape should be exposed

a base imposition in the shape Of a vile imitae
ton Of those very popular medicines, DR..

4 NEW DISCOVERY.
The Greatest and Most Wonderful in The World.

1ae GfeGteSt and Most WoRdeJuL1 IN The World!
~sARSAPARHLLA LOZENGES,
Simple and Compound.
Prepared by N. HEREU, Druggist and Physician.
Superior to all Essences, Syrups and Ex-
tracts so named, and to all s~peciali-
ties heretofore known.
HAVE for a long time thoroughly investigated
L the idea of a general therapeutic agent, sus-
ceptible of being applied to all diseases, the de-
velopment or morbid principle of which proceeds
from an internal cause, either in the blood or any
OF the organs.
A careful and uninterrupted analysis ofthe ami
NAL, vegetable and mineral kingdoms had induced
the hope that | conld bring about such a result,
and, thanks 10 my indefatigable researches, it is
now obtained
| have found in some vegetables the necessary
means for this grand idea, which is based lpon an
oleaglnous principle of Sarsaparilla partly known
TO the public. Such is the discovery which |
have the honor this day of advertising. The
form of Lozenges has been given to ii, because its
nature precIuded the possibility of doing other
wise: and | have divided it into simple and COM
pound Lozenges, in order that they might be given
% children as we'll as adults.
My first experiments were made privately, and
remained unknown until wonderful results had
satisfied me that | had succeeded, and that the

B0NNABEG'S
BESULPHTTE OF LIME.

NEw ORLEANS, September LIST, 1857.
DERMIT me to invite your attention to the
A following in relation to the manufacture Of BIZ
Sulphite Of Lime, which from the first discovery
OF the valuable properties it possesses as a de-
curative of cane Juice until this time. ! have pre-
pared at the New Orleans Southern Chemical
Works, in larger quantities and Of greater strength
than any other establishment. My laboratory
contains every requisite for its preparation, and
neither labor, care nor expense is spared to render
1t every year more worthy of the extensive pat
ronage with which it has been favored. Rival
manufacturers have entered into competition with
me in vain, my Bi-SuIphite having as the sub
joined testimonials from leading city journals will
sheW. always commanded from experienced
Planters the preference.
1t is unnecessary to remind Planters, as they
are already aware Of The fact, that this Bi-SuIph-
tie of Lime, when properly used, never fails to
produce a beautiful white and yellow crystal
lied sugar that always commands the highest
price in this market, and the very best recon-
mendatlon it can have with Western aud other
buyers is the fact Of its having been made with
Bonnable's Bi-Sulphite, as they consider that a
guarantee against any loss in weight, and are al
ways willing 10 pay higher prices for it. The
high repute and favor to which the Planters gen.
orally hold this Bi-SuIphite, is so much a matter
of nOtoriety that it is quite unnecessary TO pub
fish here any Of the many ~flattering testimonials
received daily from those who nave used II, anu
invariably succeeded beyond their most sanguine
expectations in not only making the best sugar
ever previously made by them, but also in reall-
zing the highest prices with less loss in weight
than by any other process. Already large orders
are on my books for the approaching rolling sea-
son, my customers wisely taking advantage Of
time, so as to have at the commencement of SUI
gar making a supply on hand.
As there is not South of philadelphia so extern
sive and complete an establishment as the New
Orleans Southern Chemical Works; not one in
any manner comparable toit in capacity to man
ufacture with the greatest dispatch and of the
strongest quality the Bi-Sulphite Of Lime, | am
compelled TO invite the orders of Planters in adj
vance so that no disappointment may be expert
enced by old or new customers when sugar boil
ing commences.
The best and staunchest barrels have been pro-
vided for the Bi-Sulphite; they are guaranteed
not to leak, and when returned will be re-6lled
and shipped and fifty cents each allowed from the
price.
Planters should be particular in ordering
through their merchants TO specify that none but
Il. Bonnabel's Bi-Sulphite be sent TO them.
All orders must be addressed

u Barrels returned to be refiIled, will be taken
from the Boats free of charge, and will be re-ship-
ped at 10 additional expense to the Planter, eX-

TEE DAGAss9 FURNACE.

DATENTED Dec. 4th. 1856; same patent
l. reissued Aug. 9th, 1856: and new patent grant
ed Aug. 9th, 1856; to. S. H. Gilman, Of New Or
leans. This furnace is now in use on EIGHTEEN
PLANTATIONS IN LOUISIANA, and COM
bines with unqualified success the six important
and distinctive features Of
/. Working entirely by natural draught.
2. Containing no CRATE bars or other irons in
interior.
8. Never requiring the bagasse to be stirred or
touched after it falls from the carrier into the
hopper Of the furnace, =
4. Drying the bagasse thoroughly i. the furnace
where it remains more than one hour, exposed
to great heat, before it reaches the point Of
combustion.
5. Forming no Stag, and the ashes being carried
by the dTau9ht into a second chamber, are with
drawn at any time without stopping the sugar.
6. Burning all the bagasse on plantations of any
size, and requiring no other attention than to
take out the ashes and occasionally throw in
wood-the average consumption of which has
been only one-halfa cord in twenty-four hours,
when the furnace, fiues and chimney were
proportioned.
The furnace erected under the new patent of
August 9Th, 1856, are fed without rollers by a
simple arrangement of balanced doors in the bot
tom of the hoppers, which open by the weight Of
the bagasse and require no attention whatever.
This is the only Bagasse Furnace which COM
bines the above named features, either theoTeti-
cally or practically.
An investigation of the patents, specifications
and drawings Ito be had of the subscribers will
prove this furnace to be constructed upon strictly
scientific principles, entirely distinct from those
of and other patented furnace, and an examina-
ton of the furnace in operation, will convince the
the most incredulous of the successful application
of the principles laid down in the patents, as well
as its perfect simplicity of construction and
management, economy and durability. Some of
these furnaces have taken off three crops without
any repairs, there being nothing but fire brick
exposed to the fire.
The End ersigned are now prepared to contract
with parties for supplying and putting these
fnrnacesin operation, and solicit of sugar planters
an investigation of their testified achievements.

CARD-.

My attention has been called to a card. re,
Gently published by Mr.. Samuel Matthews, Of
l%beryiIie, who parades his grievances and false
hoods before the public; and | am induced to
reply TO it, more on account of a calumny which
it r%ecites, than the conflict which it describes.
That he is a s!anderer, the statements of the
person whom he has referred to as the author
of the infamous charges he has uttered, will
clearly demonstrate.
"FatSuS in uno, falSuS in mnibuS."
He who falsely assails the reputation Of a
public officer, will not hesitate to bolster up
his oaCn by a tissue of lies.
This man has w~illfully, deliberately and ma.
liciously slandered a person who had never in
jured him, and he now seeks to make a false
impression upon the public credulity, in regard
20 the personal difficulty which grew out Of
his mendacity.
In his account Of the collision, which occurs
red at his house, this paper tiger represents him.
seIfas a formidable antagonist. He certainly
defended himself, but | can perceive no traces
OF his valor on my person, and he is indebted
to my own deliberation for his life as much as
to his own discretion. IT'S true, also, that he
desired 10 know from me whether | intended
TO renew my attack on him; which I had no
idea Of doing, having already resented his aE-
front by repeated blows, of which he w"illlong
bear the marks. But his stupidity or his dis
erection caused him to m~isappiy the proposition
| made to him the next day. | told him that
our difficulty required no further disturbance,
but that it could be terminated by such weap-
ons as'he chose to resort to; | did net suggest
a challenge; but intimated that Twas ready for
his attack then and there, and at all lines and
places, and did not care about the description
of his arms. He states that he declined be-
cause he could not recognize me as a gentle
man, phlst he continued 10 countsnance a false.
hood.
The pnbiic will not readily recognize the au,
thority OF this important character to fix the
standing Of a gentleman. My reputation is
above the jurisdiction of such a judge-a vim.
dirtive and dastardlY slanderer.
regret very much the occurrence Of this af-
fur. ! acknowledged the error Of having cali
ed on Mr.. Matthews, as | did, for an ~erpzqna-
tim. II is my duty to restrain my emotions
for the sake Of that great party which | repre-
sent in Ibis district, and which hope to lead
10 victory; bat If fighting can heal the wounds
or grutify the resentment of this Mr.. Matthews,
he knows well that he can have from me as
much Of that sort of exercise as he may de-
sire.
