As to the proposition made to ne by
Mr., Jewell, to meet him on the stump, /
will simply say that l have no ambition
to fight with shadows: Mr., Jewell is
politically dead. Nor am | 50 over
weeninr as to deem that the office OF
District Attorney is one Of SO much po-
litical Importance, as to call the people
from their houses to listen to the wrang,-
lings of two young lawyers. Il do not
shrink from the public gaze, (nor is
hthere, as NJ. Jewell insinuates, ANY
thing rotten in Denmark";) but am not
az obtrusiye as is Mr.. J. Not V G i'll
these days of Young ~Americanism, Do |
deem that all respect for modesty is for
gotten.
In fine, it is morally certain, if, even
after his nomination, Mr.. j. had fallen
back into the ranks, instead Of persist
ing in his abuse of the Old Democracy,
that he would have been pardoned, and
I would never have been called upon to
run. lie persisted in his error--let him
bide its consequence.

Draw up by the machine in actual work,

objectionable fer any fine work, where a smooth

are tie dearest in the end. Ghrouometer ana
Patent Lever Watches are known to be. valuable

CONFLICT IN LAFAYETTE PARISH

THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE DEF1ED-IAs
Outlaqes Defeated, and Serenity Of them
Coptured.--A friend who has just arri-
we'd from Lafayette parish, informs US
that on Saturday morning last, the VI
GLANCE Committe Of that parish were
summoned to assemble and proceed to a
place called Bayou Tortue, about fifteen
miles west of Vermillionville, where an
encamplnent ofyoutlaws had been form
ed, the ~ringleaders of which had chal.
lenged them to battle. Accordingly, the
law and order mel Of the parish, who
had long suffered from these depreda-
tors, who had robbed, plundered, passed
counterfeit money and murdered with
IMMUNITY. quickly gathered, and taking
d piece of artillery with them from the
village Of VermiiIionville, started for
the rendezvous Of the outlaws. AT 8
A. NJ. on Saturday, about five hundred
well equipped mounted men suddenly
appeared before the ~entrenched camp OF
the boastful defers Of the laws, where
they found them in full force, with the
Bayou well guarded, and q house in the
center of their position, loop-holed, and
otherwise thoroughly prepared for enda-
ring a siege or resisting storming par
ty. The flag of their fraternity also
hoated dcfiantly in the breeze, and until
the Vigilants had formed their order OF
battle and unmasked their cannon, all
looked as if the defense would be obstin-
ate and sanguinary. The sight of the
bic gun, however, strack terror into the
harden hearts of these outlaws, and
u qui pent suddenly appeared to ami
mate the warriors. Their number was
about one hundred and Fifty, many Of
whom having horses, managed to make
their escape, but seventy Of their force
fell into tie hands Of the Vigilants. I'm
mediately q court martial was formed,
consisting of two Vigilants from eacl4
company, to whom the question was
submitted whether the prisoners, noto-
rious evil doors, should suffer death OF
be paadled By d majority Of two, ii
was decided to infict the paddle punish
ment, and t~hirts-six hundred blows were
equally administered. One fellow com
mitted suicide, ~ shooting himself, to
avoid the paddle.
Subsequently, five others of the gang
We're found dead, from fun-shot wounds.
! Our informant says that the news Of
affair caused the greatest pleasure
among all the honest and decent inha-
Of the parish where it occurred,

which have long suffered from the de-
of the powerful and danger
