The Chicago Times claims the passage
of the English bill as triumph of pop
ular sovereignty, in one breath and in
the next gives its opinion Of the char
actcr of that bill in the following lam
guage:
We are not conscious Of ever having en-
tertaincd a thought Of that proposition that
was not hostile to it. We regarded it be-
fore its passage as an insult to the forms
of legislation. a contemplate evasion OF
clear principle. a cowardly snbtcrfuge, be-
hind which the would be violators of the
Democratic platform might crawl down
from their eminencc; a mean, miserable
pretcxt for settlement. having no other
possible end than to cover up the present
defeat of a most Infamous proposition
We have SO regarded it heretofore, and
every examination of it since then has only
confirmed our sentiments Of disgust that
any Democrat could have voted for it un-
der any circumstances.
That will do pretty well. The Times
likes popular sovereignty. thinks Englsh's
bill secured the triumph of that principle.
but is greatly "jisgusted" that "any
Democrat could have voted for it under
any circumstances. No man has Ia turn
so many sharp corners or exhibit himself
in so discrcdtable light as the clitor of
a mere partisan newspaper.

From the Young America of the 9th, published
in the parish Of St. John the Baptist we extract the
following
hostile meeting took place on Monday 22d inst.
between Mr.. j. Williams and Mr. A. Burch which re-
suited fatally to the latter The difficulty originated
| IN the settlement of an account The weapons were
double barrel shot guns, distance 40 PAGES At the
first fire. the bullet Of Williams took effect on his op-
ponent, shattering his arm and passing through the
body, killing him instantly. Barch was a hardwork-
ing, industrious man, with large family entirely d.
pendent upon him for their support. We understand
that he has left widow with seven children all OF
them too young to be able to do anything toward
maintaining themselves.
On the Tuesday following another duel with rainier
swords took place between Mr.. Ernest lie Gendre
editor of the Meschacebe, and Mr. Gustaye Furrate
The former received slight wound in the breast,
while the latter merely a scratch on the hand.
The Paquemine Sentinel Of Saturday last says
We have had some fine showers lately, and at the
present tlme with the warm Of spring TO aid the
termination, we have doubt that our crops are in
as favorable state could be wished If there is any
complaint existing ii may be that in some localities
there has not been sufficient rain. On Monday night
last after severe blow from the southeast the wind
changed to the north, and on Tuesday morning we
had something OF an evidence of winter lingering in
the lap of spring-for overcoas were in requisiton
as were also fires during the day but Wednesday
opened with true Southern spring sum- and thus he's
the weather continued to the day OF publication.

The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter OF Saturday last
says:
viii 1t never rain? Our cane and corn want IL
badly, and yet the clouds do not give us pro-
mise. One good shower of several hours duration,
would completely alter the aspect of vegetation in
this vicinity The dust is flying about in clouds and
the warmth OF the weather betoken the rapid ap-
proach Of summer.
The Lafourche Union Of Thursday last says:
The fears we expressed a week or two ago have
been all quickly realized in the present rapid rising
of our bayou, which is again threatening danger to
the levees. We learn from Lockport that the great
est distress prevails in that section of our valley
which has been submerged now for several MONTHS
All prospects for crop this year are now cut or and
the poor families there suffering for the very ne
cessities of life.
The Shreveport Southwestern, Of Wednesday lest,
has the following:
1t rained the greater portion Of Saturday and Sum
day nights, and during the forenoon of Monday The
continued inclement weather hf greatly retarded the
work of our planters.
The river continues to rise rapidly and the latest
accounts from above lead to the belief that the water
will, in few days, be high rs at any time during
the season. Planters along the river must look TO
their levees.
