FROM BATON RoUGE.-We notice the intro
duction Of several important bills, one BIZ

negroes for the payment Of their debts, and to
allow them to go into voluntary slavery exer.
clslngg q. choice Of masters, another BY Mr..
Robinson authorizing the Importation Of Arr
can apprentices in this State.
ny reference to dispatches published il
another column, the reader will discover that
the Senatorial contest is the all absorbing topic
now at Baton Rouge.
There have been some forty hallottings in
caucus without affecting d nomination. AL
the last ballot on last Monday evening in full
caucus Of al the democratic members, Sandidae
received 80 votes Gray Is, Parham 8, and
Soule Y. After this The friends Of BENJAMIN
md Sandidge met ID separate caucus and con
tlnued the ballot, and on the first trial the vote
stood Benjamin 26, Sandidge 2S, and / sent
tering The friends Of Gray, Parllam and
Sonle objectedyto this ballotting and seeded
from the caucus fer the reason that there was
2 special agreement to cast but one ballot a,
that session.
When the friends Of the last three named
gentlemen see that there is no prospect to elect
either Of them, the presumption is that they
VIII concentrate either on Benjamin or San
dldge and thus WELD the balance Of power.
50 far the general result is in the fog, the next
mail will tell The tale.
