A Miserable Invention.

Last week, about the time of the great De.
mocrstic mass meeting in New Orleans, there
came, upon the authority of the telegraph.
one OF those miserable falsehoods which. for
their frequency, have placed the electric wires
and their operators in a not very creditable
position before a truth-loving people. The
dispatch was to this effect, that Mr.. Breckin.
ridge had chilled a consultation Of his friends
to take into consideration the propriety of
withdrawing his name as a candidate for the
Presidency! No one at all acquainted with
the tricks Of the enemies Of Democracy and
the desperate shifts of a hopeless and reckless
party, such as the Douglas party is, would
put any faith in such a glaringly absurd dec.
l%aration. We can hardly believe that the
friends Of Bell and Everett would resor, to
such a fabrication, for the purpoee Of making
capital and throwing cold water upon an an.
ticipated mass meeting of their political foe.
Very likely, indeed, that the foremost can.
dinate in opposition to Lincoln, would gener.
ously withdraw, that a weak and nearly as
Objectionable candidate to the States that no.
minated Breckenridge as the Chicago nominee
himself, should take the seat the people de-
sired to award to the gallant Kentuckian.-
Nothing could be farther from Mr.. Breckin.
ridges mind than the course attributed 10 him
by the despatch. But, "lordy!" don't the
Donslasites land in this respect the Bell-Ev.
eretts also) wish that be wouldi
or course, as it was expected, a contradic.
ton cam next day or the day after. 1t was
contained in a special despatch from the ma.
mayer Of the telegraph Office at Memphis, to
the Delta, stating that the despatch about Mr..
Breckenridge Withdrawing was totally false.
and was contradicted unquallfedly upon the
authority of Mr.. Breckenridge himself, who
was Intercepted on the subject. Subsequent.
ly another despatch arrived, equally impera-
tive in its contradiction of it. Nothing but
death can cause Mr.. Breckenridge to withdraw
from the high position in which he has Leen
placed by reclamation Of the Constitutional
Democracy Of the Union.

nemocratic barbecue.

Several Of our Democratic friends have re-
quested us to suggest the second Saturday in
September as a proper time to have a grand
Breckenridge and Lane Mass Meeting and
Barbecue for Iberville, to come off in the su.
burbs of Plaquemine. There is no question
but that we ought to be stirring ourselves q
little more actively than we are. The largest
majority can be easily overcome by superior
zeal and energy on the part of the minority.
We hope the Club will take the matter into
consideration this evening, and either accept
the day proposed, or appoint one as early
thereafter as possible.

Convent of "fIoly Cross"

We alluded, last week, to the Musical En-
tertainment, Distribution Of Premiums, &C.,
that were taking place at the Convent of"HoIy
Cross" in this town, on the day that our pa
per went to press. Although it lasted till a
late hour on that day, the dense crowd mani.
tested no impotence, that we could discover,
in having it brought to an end. The vocal
and instrumental music, which commenced
the entertainment, was performed and sung
with a sweetness and an execution, on the
whole, that will not permit Of any distinctions
among the accomplished young ladies'. We
must say, however, that the songs "llad !
Never, Never" &c, by Miss A. NJ, and "Still
so Gently" &c, by Miss P. X, warbled in
our ears with peculiar sweetness. The Dis
course of Mr.. SnoRrIss was to the point, and
delivered with effect.
The English play that followed, the "Etscts
of Diso6edience," was well conceived by the
Superior as an amusing and well adapted per
formance for the occasion, and created much
interest and amusement among the audience.
The young ladies' performed their parts with
much credit. The French piece that followed,
"Les Deur Files Adoptires," was equally
well received, and as well performed, as Tar as
our observation and knowledge Of the Ian
guage enabled us to judge.
The French Discourse that succeeded, by
Rev. FRANCIS c. FALLoT, was delivered in his
usual pleasant manner, and the advice 1t con.
tanned to the young, and its happy moral re.
Elections, from what we could learn,) were
deserving Of all praise. Mr.. F.. is the Catho-
lie pastor of this community, and is much
beloved for his amiability, talent, and for his
devotion to the interests Of his ministry.
Among the songs that followed, the origi,
nal one, "I'eeping Through the Trees" by
Miss VIRGINIA FERGUSON, the Music Teacher,
will be found in our paper today. 1t stamps
her as a lady of genius, and one, we hope, who
will long be connected with the Convent.

pirate locality, convenient to the Church Of
St. John. Parents and guardians have but
to visit the institution, or its annual examina.

is one they would be happy to confide their

when a recession of a mile has taken
place-some five or six thousand years
hence-tho height of the Fall will be
reduced by a score of feet. Ten thou
