Hon. B. B. SHINES,

BreckinrtIge and Lane E7ector, 4h Dist:
Dear Sir-Yours OF the 26th inst, has just
been received, and I confess to some surprise at its
contents.
After my invitation to YOU to join me in making
'such a list Of appointments as would accord with
our mutual convenience. and arranging such a plan
of discussion as would be Just to all concerned, j"
and after YOUR promise to meetm for this purpose,
at the earliest moment" consistent with your pre-
vious engagements, | am surprised that you should
have proceeded to make your appointments with
out consulting me.
Taking it for granted, however, that YOU desire
nothing but what is fair and just in this matter, |
waive all objections to tlt, manner of making these
appointments or to the appointments themselves,
and will meet you at the :1imes and places desig-
mated. Merry respectfully,
JAMES 0: F1auA.
Editor Little Giant|f take pleasure in accept
ing the invitation of Gel. B. B.. SHINES, Breckin-
ridge Elector, extended ZONE through the columns
Of the Baton Rouge Advocate, to meet him in the
discussion of the political questions of the day, at
the several places designated by him in the annex
ID list of appointments.
j. DUNCAN STUART,
Democratic Elector.
Baton Rouge, Sept. 18th, 1860.
WHITE HALL, Sept. 2, 1850.
Hon. j. O. FUoUA-Dear Sir-Your letter Of
the 18th ult, has been received. l cannot con-
ceive why the appointments Of the goth Of August
should have occasioned any surprise. Those APP
pointrnents I then informed you were made, not
By me, but by my political friends.
l AM pleased to have you meet me in this dis
cuss;on, and l certainly desire nothing unfair or UNI
usual. These Democratic meetings being called by
my political friends, l shall not undertake to inter-
fere with their plans, but feely acquiesce in any ar
rangement that they may make in regard to the
mode of conducting the discussion.
Respectfully yours,
B. B. SHINES.
At the meeting at Bayou Sara on the 18th
September, my friends submitted the follow
ing proposition:
1st. We protest against the appointments
made by Gen1 B.. B. SHINES being regarded
as Breckinridge meetings, but insist that they
shall be considered as the joint meetings of all
the parties.
I'd. We insist that the discussion shall be
confined to the three Electors.
Sd. We claim that each one of the Electors
shall open and close alternately, and that each
shall have the same time.
II. SKIPWITH,
j. HUNTER COLLINS.
Bayou Sara, Sept. II, 1860.
To this they received the following reply:
The committee on the part ofthe friends of
Mr.. Breckenridge, in reply to propositions
made by the friends Of the Bell Elector, have
to say:
1st. That the appointments made tor Gen.
3. B. SHINES, by the friends of Mr.. Breckin.

iitical issues of the day, I shall be glad to join you
both in making such a list OF appointments as will

cerned.

If this time and place does not suit YOU, ! shall
be happy to meet your views and convenience, and

designate.

iect, but have been waiting for the appointment OF
the Douglas Electoral ticket. l have just learned
that this appointment has been made, and that J.
I. Stuart. ESQ, of East Baton Rouge, has been
chosen for this District.

ments.

WINE FROM AUSTRALIA We shall be ena.
bled shortly to announce the advent Of
pure, generous, and wholesome wine from
our Australian possessions, in sufficient guam
titles and at such price, as will take the
Just medium between the man who is driven
% total abstinence from the filth imported,
and those who pay at a rate which their
more soberreAections and their pockets do not
Justify. The wine in question is very like
Chateau Yquen, and i the produce Of the
Muscatel grape, and is named "Muscatella, ,"
after that lucous and aromatic fruit. We
are indebted to some Germans intimately
conyersant with the wine districts cf the
Rhine, for this importation and although az
vet the few butts that have entered the mar
ket have been secured BY Messrs. Alderman
and Becktord, the time must arrive when the
community will yet further derive the bene
fit Of It's more extensive importation, which
even now permits Of its dispersion at very
low figure. London Sun.
