A Rl.AMED LONG TABLE.

"Don't YOU observer" James p, OF
as he is familiarity known among his host OF
friends, jim. is. moreover, generous, noble
hearted. and possessed of moro genuine cour-
age than usually falls to the lot Of man. The
following is his relation Of nights advon-
ture :--
Ono morning we met him in the street,
looking rather melancholy, whom hc said;-
Yesterday folt little bad, and mark you,
/ went ami took small drink and that not
improving my feeling, ] took another and
another. don't you observe, and finally got
a little tight In the evening went into tho
country with friend. mark you, and thinking
] would cool off, l took several more drink'

imagine where the mischief ! was, mark you
The room was as dark as Egypt. heard Tho
clock strike two in some part Of the house.
mark you. became very anxious TO learn
my whereabouts don't you observe, and for
that purpose arose from my bed. mark you,
and after stumbling over about dozen chairs,
don't you observe, ] came 20 table.
Now, mark you. ! reflected that the gencr-
aiiy of the apartments are perfect or an OBJ
long square. don't YOU observe, and moreover
that the generality Of tables arc square; and

get off at right angles and reach corner OF
the room, and by that guide by the wall to a
door or window, don't you observe. Follow
ing out this idea. mark you, began carefully
to feel along the edge Of the aforesaid table
and finally gaining confidence ! went a little
faster the idea struck me that IL was q blam

We understand that it is the intention of
the Geolopists of the State TO continue their
labors in the field the ensuing summer, but
be sure to have the Final Report in readiness
for publication at the commencement Of the
next session Of tho Legislature.
They have decided to obtain sketches OF
many of the most strongly marked natural
features found in the varied landscapes of the
State and if possible have the same engraved
and embodied in The final report.
The task Of describing the scenery of the
State, and obtaining the sketches, has been
assigned to A. d. Hagar, Esq, of Proctors-
Vile, who has already secured the services OF
a competent artist to take Photographic views,
and as carly as June, when the landscape is
deckod with DWELLINGS,, they will commence
their work of putting upon paper some OF the
beautiful views in nature for which Vermont
is so signally distinguished.
We like the idea giving some good skotch-
os in the Geological Report and think il will
meet the appreciation of every intelligent Nor-
montcr, for aside from the qualification ono
must feel in viewing them, and reading their
descriptions. it is evident that IL well done,
and attention is properly called TO our beau
Gful scenery. the effect will be TO divert the
travel OF pleasure seekers from other iayorito
routes. TO those in our own State and tho

TIE Military SPlRIr.-For some days past
there has been much talk offorming three mil
tary companies in this parish. 1t is suggested
that one cavalry, one artillery, and one in-
fantry company be raised, organized, and
equipped, and when necessary, to offer their
services to the Governor, or to do so at once.
We hope the gentlemen who have, or are
about to take this important matter in hand,
will not flag in their exertions until com.
pletely successful in every PARTICULAR
Whether the services of these companies are
ever called into requisition or not, is a
master of minor importance compared
with the great necessity of having our citi-
zens trained to the use of military weapons
and tactics. Taking the Southern people as
= whole, they are neither deficient in courage
or intelligence, but at times the most cour-
ageous give way before the experience and
skill of those far beneath them. Let us arm
say we-and the sooner the better.

SOUTHERN MANuFAcruREs-THE BRoGAN
MovEMENT.-We take the following from
the YorkviIle Is. CO. Enquirer:
An inquiry made in a recent number of the
Southern Guardian, whether negro shoes of
Carolina make could be had anywhere ir
Columbia, together with other advertising
Influences, has developed the grateful fact
that more than one, perhaps between two
and three hundred thousand pairs of brogans
are made yearly in South Carolina. The
largest factory we lave heard of-Mr.
Lynch's, of Cheraw-turns out one hundred
pairs per day, and is patronized by planters
in various parts of the State. The next
largest belongs to Mr.. Allen, of Camden,
who nov puts in the Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas market upwards of
$4,000 pairs annually; and is making ar
engagements hereafter to manufacture $4,000
pairs per annum, to meet the demand which
the popularity of his shoes has created on the
plantations of the West. We could place
our finger on perhaps more than a dozen
shops, in the upper districts, which manufac-
ture each from 500 to 5000 pairs Of negro
sh ,es annually.

THOMAS H. SHIELDS & Co.-This hrm owl g
to their fast increasing business: have been
compelled to remove their establishment to
No. SO Gravier street, and 10 Bank Place
Their industry, business tact, and what is
more important than all, their desire to acco-
modate customers, has won for them a rep,sta.
ton in this and the adjoining States that gill
IN a few years lead to wealth and prosperity.
It affords US much pleasure to learn from their
card that our old friend and fellow-typo, AR
THUR w. HYArr, has been admitted a. a
partner in the firm, and his many friends in
this section Of country will agree with us in
saying that he richly deserves all encourage
ment in life, as an honest, upright and vor-

To- A meeting was held at Academy
Hall, in Baton Rouge on Wednesday night
last for the purpose of forming a company of
Minute Men for the protection of Southern
Rights should they be assailed. The Hall
was filed, but the enthusiasm, such as it
was, was confined to the first three or four
rows of benches. By far the larger portion
of the audience did not participate in the
proceedings. Although the object Of the
meeting was fairly set forth in a Baton Rouge
paper, it afforded an excellent opportunity to
our friends Judge ROBERTSON P. D. HARDY,
Major DUNN, and others to let the dear peeps
know they were in favor Of secession right
of-without waiting any longer. We have
been informed that names enough have oeen
secured to form one ccmPany-which we
hope soon to see increased to a regiment
That parish out of her voting population could
easily raise five hundred men, it can be done
if a little energy is only; thrown into the
movement.

C. If these secession at-any-price gentle
men, who are rearing and cavorting around at
the great indignities committed upon the
South, desire to increase the strength of their
peculiar party, they must stop applying to all
who do not agree with them in their idea Of
matters and things, the term 'submissionist."
There are no such men in the South as sub
missionists-at least in the odious sense
which the secession-at-any-pr price gentlemen
would make it appear. Not a man who claims
to be a secessionist will deny that he believes
that the South would be much better off in
every particular. in the Union, could her Con-
stitutional rights be guaranteed, than she could
be out Of it and yet not one of them will lis
ten to reason, unless the reasoning be all on his
side and to his way of thinking. Let US wait
and calmly discuss this matter of secession or
agree with these fire-eaters are entitled to as
much right to be heard. Their property.
their interest, their all lies here, and they are
as ready to defend their rights and fresides.
when necessary, This the fre-eaters well
know, and yetthe very moment a difference of
opinion is lntimated in regard to the manner or
causes for a dissolution of the Union it is
hurled into your NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. In
facttbe charge, SO often made during the late
canvass against the Breckenridge party, of Sc
cession-and which they as often denied

tice the determination Of the followers of That
gentleman. Nothing will pac'fy, nothing
suits them-they must have their own way,
or "submlssionist' is hurled at every one pre-
sumptuous enough to nave an opinion of his
own These strong fires are always short
lived-their career is auckland so i: will be
with those Jealous fire-eaters; they will soon
see the necessity of listening to and abiding by
reason. Those opposing this hasty course of
action are in great strength in the South, and
they must and will be consulted and their
voice heard, when their interests are as much
at stake as those who, in their madness, are
cropping about like children in the dark. Let
these secession-at-any-p1ice gentlemen bear
our little plain-talking in mind-let them bear
specially in mind, also, that there are always
W sides to a question and two parties to a
contract, and that we, who differ with them
upon the policy Of the South, have as much
rightto say whether she shall go out or remain
in the Union, as they have.

POISONING Ely A SLANE.-We have been
informed this morning. by a gentleman in
this city, OF a case "t pni>oring Of d family
at BrnSle Landing. West Baton Rouge. 1t
appears that the family Of MIR. Frank VIII
llams, his wife and iour children. after taking
their soup at the dinner tahie one day last
week. became sHiielly sick, and all COM
manced to yomit. 1t being evident that
poison was used. Mrs. Williams. after a mo-
mentarv recovery. went to an amor and
found that a package of arsenic. left there
about a year or more ago. was missing. She
immediately charged a ntgto servant girl.
whom she had raised in her f emily. The
girl. however. denied the charge, and even
drank some OF the soup. when she. too. be-
came sick. The Fact is. she put too much
poison in the tuIeen. and hence but a mo-
mentary whiting and sickness to all the
persons. On Saturday the negro girl. after
being at jail: was to be tried i'll co,It,-N. O.
Delta.
The negro girl was tried by a jury of slave
owners on Saturday last, ard acquitted
there being 10 evidence ELECTED to prove
that she put the arsenic in the soup. In fact.
a portion OF the soup was analysed by a
chemist in Plaquemire, who could find no
traces of arsenic in it.
