moderate indulgence in ardent spirits
In or arounds the coffee-houses, fire.
quented by those who are habitual
users of alcoholic drinks, are the deeds
of blood committed that keep the Cor
oner and his officers busy, and fill our
prisons with unfortunate men amenable
to the penalty of life for life.
Could the law against carrying con-
cealed weapons be enforced - if no
distinction were ever shone to persons
who were found armed--conficts that
once ended in bruised or battered fea-
lures would not now be terminated SO
often by tho death of one-perhaps the
more innocent of the parties.
The slight effect which the law seems
to have in curbihg the brutal instincts
should awaken the more serious atten-
ton of the public, It is an Indication
Of the ease by which passion might
create and lead mob. Stern justice
alone can deter from crime, and those
who hold its scales should see to it that
no one guilty escapes.
During such a frequency of desper-
ate deeds, it is fortunate thai SO much
vigilence marks the action OF the po-
lice, and so much determination char
acterizes the criminal tribunal of the
city. There is abundant excitement tc
give birth to a greater carnival of
crime, if people and officers do not de-
termine to exert an influence that shall
create a sound and healthy opinion as
the means of conserving public order
and diminishing the progress of crime.

Probable Loss eta Schooner NTH all
ON board.-The news of the same date
has the following announcement:
Last fall we had the melancholy
task of recording the loss of the schoo-
ners VIM. r. Pettis and Major Bache,
both packets between this port and
Pensacola, in which all hands were lost.
We are again called on to record the
probable loss of the steamer Grace
Darling, Capt Mason, which sailed
from this port September 22d, in bal
last, for Pensacola. The Grace Darl-
ing had not arrived at the above port
November 4th, which would give her
43 days, she being =provisioned only
for Is days; there is no doubt that she
sunk in the fearful hurricance that
swept along the Gulf on the Sd October:
The Grace Darling was a new vessel
and owned at the north. The crew
were seven in number, the names of
whom we are unable to ascertain. This
makes % lives lost in this trade during
the last year, a fatality unprecedented
to the eoasting trade, where so few YES
Isels are engaged.

y -Atempt to Fire the Dcpot.--On Sun
day night last, at u quarter to s O'Clock,
u bale of cotton was discovered on fire
at tho depot, which, from all circum-
stances of location, &c, had very much
the appearance of an act of inccn-
diarism. The cotton was fired at one
of the ropes which bind the bale. The
rope had burned in two when the fire
was discovered, and in ten minutes
cvary bale of cotton ut the depot would
have caught. The most suspicious
circumstance connected with the burn
ing is that the bucket bad been taken
from the public well, near the depot, ON

The Clinton Fair--The papers of
East Feliciana are exulting over the
success of their fair at Clinton. The
Spirit of the South says:
The gross receipts from this first
effort have, as we are informed, placed
the society on safe grounds They
have been sufficient to cover all ex-
penses and leave a surplus for future
improvements. That this success will
prompt them to further efforts after
more complete improvements, is GER
tain from the known character of the
gentleman and their present efforts.
The friends of the cause may, there
fore, rest satisfied that no necessary
expense or pains will be spared to rem
der the fair grounds of East Feliciana
an honor to the parish, and suitable to
the necessities of the agricultural com
munity.

with sample of the sugar he is max

than the general average throughout

Extraordinary Burglary.

Chloroform administered TO q Vide
awake Honsan. On Saturday morn
ing, between one and two o clock, IL very
sin gular burglary was effected in
Pittshurg. Miss Stephenson niece of
Captain Oracle, was sleeping in a back
room of her uncle's house, and was
awakened by light and the voices of
persons talking in her room. She saw
distinctly two forms bending over one
of her, trunks, and rummaging therein.
After. taking a few things from this
trunk, they passed to another. Mean
time, the younger suggested that she
might awake, and the other told him
to fix her with the stuff and on the
forfaea' SD ing that he was afraid to use
it least it Should kill her. the latter
added, well, let it kill her, then.
From their conversation she learned
that they were looking for diamond
ring and a considerable sum of money
and sixty oIlars were in one of the
trunks, but were overlooked but from
one of the trunk, however, they took Il
gold watch. Leaving the trunks, they
went to the dress she had worn, and in
which she had been shopping on Satur-
day, and from the pocket took a set of
gold sleeve-buttons and about twelve
dollars in change. Before going to
the second trunk, the larger Of the two
lads insisted that the younger should
apply some of the stuff (Which after
ward was found to be chloroform,) to
the young lady; with reluctance the
boy approached the bedside, the pre-
tending sleeper all the time watching
him, and emptied some of the contents
of the large bottle upon her head and
face. She was not at all stupehed, but
somewhat sickcned by it.
After they had completed their
search, and gone to the door to get out
of the room, the older lad insisted that
there was another gold watch to be had,
and THAT they should go into Mr..
Graeie's room and get it, but the latter
pcremptorily declined. Before this the
young lady had discovered that the
elder boy was her own brother, about
fifteen years of age. After some par
leving outside the door of the young
lady's room, the young burglars passed
down stairs. She arose and went to
her aunt's room, and awakened her:
she got up, and, looking down stairs,
saw the light in the dining-room, and
called to the boys. They ran out.
The young lady shouted to them that
she knew them, and passed out of the
back door into the yard, and then to
the back gate, at the side of the yard
into the street.
While rapidly rctreating, after the
ladies had alarmed them, they dropped

the watch in the hall, stepped on and
broke it, and picked it up. leaving the
face behind. On Sunday morning Miss
S. went to her uncle's, near the point,
where her brother had been staying,
and charged him with the theft. He
acknowledged it, and told who his
companion was, and Stephenson was,
consequently, arrested and committed
to the .stombs' for hearing. Young
Stephenson s. mother is in California,
and has sent several hundred dollars
to her daughters to pay their expenses

The Increase of Crime.

1t is impossible to glance at the re-
ports of crime committed in our city
found in the daily journals without as
constituent. Morning aftor morning,
the detail of blood shed, is reported
with varying accessories of brutality.
The knife, the pistol, or other deadly
weapon, so often cut short the course
of life, that it would seem that Il large
portion of tho population go armed,
and, on the slightest provocation, are
ready for deeds of desperation.
The Same features of wrong doing
which arc so prominent here, are not
less marked III other centres of popu-
lation, A disregard for lava low csti-
mate of the value ofhuman life, and II
readiness to take from the hands of
common Justice tho decisions upon
wrongs, are strikingly developed char
actoristics Of society III its present
phase.
Because there is no apparent conncc-
ton between violence and politics, the
sad scenes of men wcltoring in the
street in their gore, attracts compare
lively little public attention. The po-
lice makes arrest of the offenders, the
Coroner holds his inquest, and we hear
no moro of the tragedy until a verdict
may be rendered in the Criminal Court
that vindicatcs the violated law and
adds another victim of ungoycrod
passion to the long catalogue.
