SHALL IT BE DONE Z?


The Republicans confidently calculate
upon reducing tho Democratic majority
in Holmes county to 500 or 600. They
count, and we assert with truth too, that
they are doing more effective electioneer-
ing than the Democrats; that they have
canvassod the county so that they will
have theirentire vote at the polls. 1t is
for the Democracy of Holmes to say
whether their majority shall come down to
500. We have the votes to give l 900 if
they can be got to the polls. Democrats,

LAST SATURDAY. - Last Saturday was a
memorable Saturday. The Opposition ~
had a barbecue below town, called a Bell aud
Everett barbecue, but We have no doubt that
many DOuglasites subscribed to it; but un.
fortunately, after quite a large crowd had got
together, and after much expense had been
incurred in getting it sp in a handsome man
ner, the rain about II o'clock cam down in
torrents, accompanied by much wind, which
fairly drenched the greater part Of the crowd.
1t unfortunately caught US about midway be.
tween town and the scene of the barbecue,
and gave US a fine bath for the patriotism We
evinced in venturing out TO see the Union
savers" We heard none Of the speaking, how.
ever, for We got back home again as soon as
the storm allowed. Had there been no ra q.
We have no doubt that the crowd present, Of
all stripes Of politics, would have had a fine
time of it. AS it was, it was a perfect smash.
up and a dead failure. 1t would have been
strange if, under the circumstances, it had
been otherwise.
On the previous Saturday, the Breckenridge
and Lane Club of this place passed a resolu.
ton inviting Co.'s. Davidson and Robertson
to address them on the llth and, true to
their patriotic sentiments these gentlemen
were present at the appointed hour. The
court house was filed with an eager and AMI
mated audience; and had it not been for the
rain, there would have been a number of la
dies; as it was, there were but four or five
not as the correspondent of the Crescent
says, mary a one!" The speeches of both
gentlemen were among their ablest efforts,
and elected hearty and enthusiastic applause
throughout. 1t was past twelve when they
got through and the assembly dispersed.
Rest assured there are a few of the "0ld

Mss Rus MUSICAL ESTERTAINMENT.-One
of the most fashionable audiences We ever
witnessed in this place - where, however,
there was scarcely room for any one except the
ladies' present-assembled in the Courthouse
on Thursday evening last, to listen to the
vocal and instrumental music of Miss HELENA
Rms and her pupils, on the occasion Of the
expiration of the session. To make distinc-
tons where all acquitted themselves so well,
would be exercising a critical acumen that
we lay no claim to, and would, besides, be
unjust. 1t is sufficient to say that the appro-
baton Of the audience was manifest, not only
in consequence Of the delightful and difficult
airs that were played, and the sweet songs
that were sung, but in testimony Of the great
skill and proficiency Of the accomplished in
structress, Miss Rils, in enabling her pupils
(some Of them not having yet reached the
double figure" in their journey of lfe) to
acqnit themselves so handsomely, and con-
tribute so delightfully."- to a nights enjoyment
Of our citizens. If We mistake not, this is
the first public examination or exhibition of
Miss Rls, of her pupils acquirements-and it
has certainly been a great success. We hope
we may have many such in future. OF Miss
R,ls, her musical talent and graceful execu-
ton, as wei. as her ability to instruct, we feel
that we cannot say too much. 4 gentleman
at our elbow, who prides himself on being
something ola musical critic, and who has
gone into ~ecstacies over the performances Of
Mde. Colson and other celebrities of the
French Opera, pays a high compliment to
Miss r.; placing her, in his estimation, with
respect to her graceful and admirable execu-
ton, aud with regard to the tone, strength
and beauty Of her voice, but little, if any,
inferior to those great a~rtistes. She richly
deserves, in our estimation, the highest com.
plimentS.

vile, the west side suffering the most. Large

The next fire occurred on Poydras street,
near the Levee, doing great damage, though
not so much as the other. A million Of dol
