Maillefert, of New York, whose operations
upoL the, falls at this place has made him
weil-known here, has extricated from the
liyer bank on the falls, portions of a NAM
moth animal whose species must have been
extinct for ages. The head, Jaw ana tusks
are complete. The tusk measuring four in
ches in diameter-the jaw teeth three inches
across.
The Prof. is sending the specimens to the
Museum at New York. They were found
twenty-five feet below the surface OF tue
ground.-La. Dem.
Our contemporary should remind Mons.
Maillelert, that the museum of the louisa

is the proper place for such discoveries
The Society has already received some ex.

HE EFFEcrs.-The menacing attitude of
the South is beginning to induce a decided
move in the right direction at the north. If
the action Of Vermont is followed by other
states, there will be accomplished a great
step towards the subsistence Of present excite
ment.
ACT OF VERMoNT.-Col. Thomas, of West
falrlee, has introduced a bill into the YER
mont House of Representatives to repeal the
Personal Liberty Act,' so called. This act
was passed some three or four years ago, for
the purpose Of multiplying the fugitive slave
la and rendering its execution Impractical
b!s. 1t denies the employment of all State
officers, the use Of all public ediices, in aid
of the master, and for attempting to secure
his property provides that he shall be fined
$4,000, and imprisoned in the state prison at
Windor fifteen years.

THF RIGHT SPIR1T.-We notice in our coun-
try exchanges, that several parishes Of the
State, through their Police Juries, have made
appropriations TO assist in %equipping the mil
itary companies raised in their several local.
tiles. This is only just and proper. lii our
" parish we will shortly have two con.-
panies thoroughly organized-one of mounted
gunmen, and the other, infantry. A great
portion of the members of these compa-
MES are unable to afford the amount necessary
to equip themselves. We recommend that
our Police Jury, at its next session, make an
appropriation sufficiently large to cover all
expenses incurred by these worthy citizens,
who are willing to defend their country at
all hazards, and yet who lack the where.
withal to equip themselves properly for that
purpose. If this suggestion does not meet
the approval of our Jury, We hope to see
those to whom Fortune has been more favor
able, subscribe literally to assist in a cause
Of SO much importance to the South, whether
the services Of our military are ever called
into requisition or not.

WuAr LINCOLN WILL Do.-A grand Repub-
Iican Jubilee was held in sprir sfeld, Illinois,
on the night of the Goth, says an exchange,
and Lincoln was sereraded, and made a
speech. He thanked bis friends fo1 the hon
or conferred upon him, and r%elolced with
them in sucn case. He SAID in our rejoicings
let us neither express nor cherish harsh feel
ings towards hose differing with US. Let us
at all times remember that all Americans are
brothers of one common country, and should
dwell tooether in bonds of ifaternal feeling.
He repeated his thanks aud excused himself
from further speaking. MI. TfumbaIl follow
ed. He said Lincoln, although a candidate
OF the Republican rarty,a as Chief Magistrate
de will neither belong to that or any other
when inaueulated, and will be as ready to
defend and protect the States in which he re-
ceived not a solitary vote against any en-
enactment upon their constitutional rights,
as the one in which he received his largest
majority.
The New York Evening Post publishes a
letter from Springfield; which processes to
have been writer by a person in his conf
dence alter a conference with Lincoln and is
endorsed by the Post and semi-oficial pro-
sramme of the intentions Of the President
elect. The writer says that Lincoln will
conduct his administration comfotmably to
the sentiments of his previous speeches. and
will not be driven from his course by the
IT, reats of the disunionists or the counsels OF
timid Republicans. He will make 10 publ

the whole country. He approves OF Jackson's
colnSe in regard to South Carolina and the

as circumstances will permit. His Cabinet
will be composed OF true Republicans. and
not even Bell will be asked to take a seat
therein.

SOUTHERN SUPPILES.-A late letter fiom

SOUTHERN SupPLlES.-A late letter from
Richmond, Va, says:
The policy Of non-intercourse with the
North is vigorously encouraged, and already
the manufacture OF homespnn goods is rapidly
going forward in Virginia and North Carolina
to meet the brisk trade in that article which
this new policy will inaugurate. The South
ern papers contain several advertisements OF
goods of this class.
The foundries here are already reaping
rich benefits from this non-intercourse policy.
Orders for machinery of every class are
pouring in from every Southern State. and
the manufacturers determined TO avail them
selves of the newborn zeal to promote
Southern manufacturers, are establishing
a.ercie> IN the principal Southern cities to
facilitate business neentlatl'ns IN their llne.
sIhIs nnn-intercour>e policy will. | imagine.
be tar more comprehensive and enduring tnan
vas that which followed the john brown
raid. That circumstance was local. and the
effects which it produced were circumsrttbed
True, there was much sympathy manifested
witt Virginia throughout the South but the
evil was tar from halng as colossal or acute
a. that which row fires up the indignation OF
the South. The effects. in a non-intercouise
poift Of view. will. of course, be in proper
ton.
Hers we see the right spirit manifested
aud let us hope to SEE it spread through every
Southern State until we have declared our
perfect independence of the North without
seeding from the Union. 1t has been told
us again and again by our friends in the
North that we hold the remedy for Adolf
tioni.m in our own hards. if we would but
exercise it. And they told us the truth.
With the power to live within ourseives-to
manufacture every article we want-wlth
soils adapted to every species of agriculture
with friendly European powers ready to take
our cotton, tobacco. rice. &c. giving us III re-
turn the hard cash for them-why should We
crave intercourse with the North, when we
are only putting a lash into their hands to
scourse US for SO doing? If they will not
treat us as equals in the Confederacy, we
have the power to compel them to do it
and that power consists IN keeping our money
at home. There is an OLD ada.e which may
well apply, with a little alteration. in this
case-"When Poverty enters the door, Love
flies ont at the window So with Black
Rept bIicanism. when Poverty enters the
door. FanaticiSm flies out at the window"

that we can do without her, and 10 a very
