~The Opposition movements throughout
the State have been Of such a character, AM!
under such circumstance as to bewilder and
distract the once harmonious family of the
great Democracy. With all their energy and
tact-with all the ways md means they have
at command. our operations have been from
the outset, a mystery to them. Divided and
distracted among themselves. with no power
to avert the blow. or even a knowledge from
whence it will come, they stand a4hast, and
hug the cheating phantom Hope, to their
trembling breasts, that something may turn
I'D to shield them at the last hour. There is
no denying that the utmost CONSERVATION
prevails in their ranks throughout the State,
which our friends Of the Opposition are daily
%availing themselves Of. We are working
quietly and silently in preparing for the con-
test. and all that We require Of the rank and
file is to stand up and boldly face the music
on the It'll Of November next. Our chances
of success are tetter-far better than when
as an organized party, we went into the cam
vass Of 1855, and this fact daily, made appa-
rent, should nerve our friends for a vigorous
onset in November. We have been steadily
gaining ground since that memorable contest
as is fully evidenced in the campaigns which
have occurred since then.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER On Thursday
night of last week, a party Of young men re-
siding in the upper back Brulee, Of this par.
ish, started off about dark on a coon hunt
During the night, they stopped a while to
rest under a tree, and while so doing, obser,
we'd a man approaching them, in rather a
suspicious manner. which induced one of the
party. named LOUIS A. BERNARD, to call out
"who was there {" Several times the chal-
lenge was repeated. without receiving an an
swer, when suddenly a gun was discharged
at them, which severely wounded BERNARD
in the ley. Ascend shot was fired at the
party, but this time without injury to any
one. 1t was then discovered that the assail-
ish named, FRANeo1s SEGU1N, who was quiz
city permitted to depart without ali attempt
at arresting him. BERNARD was carried home
by his friends, and everything done to allevi-
ate his suffering. Next morning an affidavit
was made before 1T. NOLAN, J. p, charging
SEGulN with an assault with intent to kill,
and a warrant was Immediately issued for
his arrest. Deputy Sheriff B]EncERoN, with
a party Of friends went in pursuit of SEeurs,
and found him at the house of a nejghbor Of
his. He was arrested and conved to the jail
Of Baton Rouge, where he now awaits trial.
The most singular part of the story is, that
the young man shot, had never harmed Sc
SUN, nor given him any cause for an assault
Ger who arrested him, that he was in search
of an individual whom he intended to kill,
but still as strange the man he pretended to
be in search of, was also a friend to him. The
full particulars will, no doubt, be elected at
his trial. Mr.. BERNARD is not dangerously
hurt

DEATH OF JonN Y. MAsoN.-Recent news

REWARD OF HoNEsTY.-Johnny Moore is
the name of a bright eyed, jolly faced lad,
twelve or fourteen years of age, whose invalid
and widowed mother, living on Morgan street,
he helps to support by the sale of newspapers
and by such errands as he may chance to fall
in with. Yesterday morning he CHANGED to
stumble against large pocket-book, which he
picked up and found to contain large number
OF bank notes and papers.
While he was meditating on the sudden
riches he had amassed, and which he had slid
into capacious pocket, or perhaps racking
his youthful mind whether to seek for the
owner or conceal his good fortune, gentleman
rushed by him in an anxious, hurried nervous
manner, which convinced the boy that he was
looking for something, and he thought he
knew what.
"Have you lost anytbing?" asked Johnny.
eyes my pocket book p was the gentle
mans answer "Have you seen it 2"
The little fellow Expected" he had he
didn't know, though. What kind of pocket
book was it?
This led to an adjournment to a neighboring
store, where the flushed and almost breathless
individual "of the first part proceeded to say
that the pocket-book was a large black one,
containing 81 200 in bank bills and some ac-
counts, strip of red morocco binding under
meath the flap being inscribed "Robert Thorn

and Johnny's eyes snapped with cheerfulness,
as he placed the treasure, just he had found it,

was greater joy in that one act than $4,000

Mr. Thomas hardly seemed to know which
to feel most-relief on the recovery of his mon
ey and papers, or gratitude to the lad and adj.
miration Of his honesty. Taking Johnny by
the hand, whose bounding heart (he knew not
why) had by this time "splashed tears into his
eyes," the gentleman took him to a clothing
store and dressed him out from top to toe, in

NV TEcUMsEH WAS KILLED.-The West
Hon. 'otian Advocate of last week contains
an obituary nat Ht Sa1'es scopal Church, of Isaac
Indiana Methodist EpPFP.t. %. = his residence
Hambin, Senior, who died atha at / ~ since
near Bloomfield, Indiana, few months roau'
aged about eighty-six years. Mr.. Hamblin
was man of deep piety and unquestionable
veracity. He was at the battle of the Thames
and the writer gives the following as his state
ment in regard to the manner in which Tecum-
sch was killed -
"He says he was standing but few feet
from Colonel johnson when he fell, and in
full view, and saw the whole of that part of
the battle. He was well acquainted with
Tecumseh, having seen him before the
war, and having been a prisoner seventeen
days, and received many cursing from him.
lie thinks that Tecumseh thought johnson
was Harrison, as he often heard the chief swear
that he would have Harrison's scalp and
seemed to have special hatred toward him.
Johnsons horse fell under him, he himself
being also deeply wounded in the fall he lost
his sword, his large pistols were empty, and he
was entangled with his horse on the ground.
Tecumseh had fired his rifle at him, and when
he saw him fall, he threw down his gun and
bounded forward like tiger sure of his prey.
johnson had only side pistol ready for use
He aimed at the chief over the head of his
horse, and shot near the centre of his forehead.
When the ball struck, it seemed to him that
the Indian jumped with his head full fifteen
feet into the air as soon as he struck the
ground a little Frenchman ran his bayonet in
to him and pinned him fast to the ground"
