,.ct;on at Harper's Ferry. was not so Lluch
an attack on the State of Virginia, as it was
an the institution OF slavery in all the States
~ ~. Union where slavery exists.
a P,.olred, That, as Virginia is a border
.,,vehoIdiug State. aud IS daily exposed to
~. ianat,cal inroads of such traitors as John
prown and his followers, Louisiana pledges
hs1,eif to stand by her and sustain her in any
course she may deem necessary to pursue in
,sg,rd to the aggression of the North.
q Re,olved, That the universal sympathy
manifested and expressed by the Black Re-
publican marty Of this Uniou, for the traitors
and murderers who were recently executed
at Harper's Ferry, giyesoPen and undisguised
evidence Of their deeply seated hostility to
all the slavetolding States Of this Union.
s. Rc,olved, That IN the event Of the cleo
ton of a Black Republican to the Presidency
Of these United States, Louisiana will consl-
der il a cause for a dissolution OF the Union

The sale OF the plantation of the late Mr.
Armand; of the parish of St. James, took
place Thursday on the plantation. The priu.
: cipal plantation, with one hundred and eigh.
W negroes, Was struck of-with as little
talk and parade as would be made in selling
a quarter sertion of wild lana-to Mr.. Burn
side, OF this city, for s500,0O0. This is cous,-
dered a splendid investment, as there are
some eight thousand acres in the tract, and
under good management it ought to produce
two thousand hogsheads OF sugar. This pur.
chase VIII swell the investment of Mr.. Burn.
side, in sugar culture, to nearly two millions.
Ills slaves now exceed one thousand. Three
years ago Mr.. B. purchased the magnificent
Houmas estate, with five hundred slaves.
from Col. John Preston, the cost of which
with additions Of negroes and lands exceeded
a million Of dollars. The return on this in.
vestment for the two years he has cultivated
the place, we venture the assertion. Is not
eScelled BY any investment Of a like sum
OF money in any part Of the world. The
profits OH the first year exceeded twenty ner
cent, and despite the unfavorable circum.
stances of the crop Of this year, the WELD Of
this season will not fall far below that Of tho
preceding crop.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Burnside. who
is still a hale. stout. middIe-aged gentleman.
was a dry.goods clerk in Virginia, receiving
fifty dollars a month. His large fortune was
accumulated in this city, as a partner in the
house Bierne 4 Burnside, in the whole sale
dry goods business. Carefully avoiding all
speculation, he has relied upon the legitimate
profits and course OF trade, and when those
profits have reached a sum sufficient to Justify
an elegant retirement, amid ease and luxury,
for the remainder Of his life, he wisely de-
terminus to increase his estate and give active
employment tohis indomitable energies in the
management of the large plantations and the
difficult culture of cane. l
Hence thesegreat purchases, which. it is
rumo:ed, are made in pursuance Of a purpose
and ambition Of ex-merchant to be the iarg-
est plantes and sugat producer in the world.
A product OF ten thousand ~hossheads will
alone fulfill this ambition. I hirty thousand
boxes: We believe, is the largest product OF
any one planter il this island of Cuba, and
Mr.. Burnside is, we believe, the largest pro.
Queer in this State. " Es s't'F-ts9
In addition to these large purchases, Mr..
Burnside has invested some of his loose
change in the purchase of the elegant resi-
dence erected by Mr.. Jane. Ro6b, in the
Fourth District. the most costly private es-
Enlistment in the city Of New Orleans.
Though perhaps matters Of private interest
and business, we have taken the liberty to
refer to Interpretations Of one Of our fellow- |
citizens, for the purpose of illustrating the
great resources Of onl city and State, and
the rapidity with which wells directed en-.
terprise and business management achieve i
hers the most brilliant resuab.-Udka. !
