We find the following in the Marksvile (Avoyeles

IN TowS.-Hon. John Slidell, the senior U. s.
Senator from this State is now in Marksvle. accom-
panied by Gen. Simmes, of Point Coupee. Whether
their visit be for political purposes we cannot say,
but suppose not since both gentlemen large land
owners OF this parish and may have business requr
ing their presence here.
Perhaps "politcal purposes" and land purposes
may be very proitably combined; and we know of
no gentlemen better calculated to blend pleasure,
profit and business, than the efficient wdeawake and
full-offoresight persons named. They are "up-to-
snuff at all times and under all circumstances and
he who thinks differently will miss the mark wofuy.
Senator Sdell is such au exemplary manager that
he only has to attend to his country land affairs once
every two years. For this he deserves credit. 1tsnt

SOUTHERN CONVENTION.


This deliberative body, as our readers are aware,
will meet in yicksburg on the 9th Of next month.
The citizens of that thriving little city have made
adequate arrangements for the accommodation Of all
the delegates who may be present, and no doubt the
hospitaties extended will be worthy Vicksburgers
and Mississppians. When this is said enough said
as the openhanded whole hearted hospitality Of
neighbors is as widely known as proverbial.
The Vicksburg Sun, of the 18th, has the following
remarks in relation to the approaching Convention
1t is anticipated that the Convention which is to
meet here in May, will be largely attended-and that
much good will flow from its action. 1t will be COM
posed Of the flower of Southern chivary and South.
crn intellect and under such circumstances it would
be strange indeed, if its deliberations failed to exer-
else influence most salutary and keep alive spirit
favorable to patriotism. The object Of this Conven-
on is good and the motives Of those who participate
in them for the most part above suspicion, and
these circumstances alone in the absence Of any other
should be sufficient to insure their perpetuation.
Within the purview Of the Convention, which will
assemble here In q few weeks comes everything that
relates to the Intellectual moral educational and in
dustria development Of the South. That the dele
gates will fulfil the expectations Of the public. and
devote their time and talents to the task Of creating
healthy public opinion in the South, we hope may
be the case. And that they will prove themselves
equal to the exigence Of the OCCASION and perform
the duties that may devolve upon them with an eye
single alone to the glory Of the South and the perpet
uty OF Nc Will pcAuiis OuAoSiA
doubt for moment
Several States have already appointed delegates to
the proposed convention; and, from what we have
seen we infer that it will be talented, respectable
| and influential assemblage. As yet no movement
looking to the appointment Of delegates has taken
place in louisiana 1t has been the custom, hereto
fore for the Governor to appoint on the part OF the
State the Mayor the part Of New Orleans and the
Mayors of the respective towns to do the same thing
on behalf of the corporations over which they pre-
side.
There is some contrariety Of opinion ia regard to
the proprety of holding these annual conventions.
For our part we can see no objection to them. No
harm, certainly, can grow out of an yearly convoca
ton Of respectable and honorable Southerners.
Hence, we have been somewhat surprised at the
course of several of our contemporaries. Not much
surprised, however for we are too wide awake tc
be greatly astonished at anything that occurs nowa

ADJUSTMENTS LAST EVENING.

Theaters generally did not do lively business last
evening, thongh the st. Charles was very toleraby
filed. We confess to being quite delighted with the
performance Of Charles the H." pleasant comedy
/" on" at the Varieties. 1t was decided gem The
burden Of the play the responsibility Of Messrs.
Mark Smith, Jordan, Davenport, Briggs, and Miss A.
Graham, and it could not possibly have been better
taken care Of by any players. Mark Smith was abso
lutely inimitable as Capt. Copp-we couldn't have
done it better oursel, we are convinced-and all the
Others seemed made for their parts. The play is en-
tirely worthy repetition.
