Mr.. THAYER AT Naturalization. Ell
Thayer spoke at Millbury last evening. The
audience was not very large. Before lie be-
gan to speak he received an answer to his
challenge, which he did not see fit to notice.
AT Fitchburg, Joseph II. Walker, Esq presi-
dent of our common council, promised Mr..
Thayer that some one should meet him on
some subsequent occasion. twill be remem-
bered that Mr.. Thayer has expressed very
strongly his readiness to meet any republican
who might come in answer to his challenge.
| When he came into the hall at Millbury, last
evening" and before he began to speak, the tol-
lowing note was put into his hands =
MILLBURY, Aug. IS, 1860
| Hon. ELI THAYER-Dear Sir II hereby
accept your challenge, ito any one who
claims to stand upon the republican platform, -
to meet you and discuss your peculiar views,
and am ready to respond tonight, at this
| place. If you recognize this as answering the
| conditions which you attached to it, | would
| thank you to announce it to the audience by
reading this note before you commence your
address, that we may agree, publicly, upon
the conditions of the debate.
am yours, &C., J. II. WALKER
Mr.. Thayer took the note, but made no al
fusion to it whatever, which did not seem like
keeping his pledge. Mr.. Walker is ready to
meet Mr. Thayer, at any time and place, and
will bear half the expense of the hall. The
terms named in his note are entirely reasona-
bic, for no man would put himself at the mer
cy of another, by interruptions, without some
! tl,ot la ei,o Iou
ope his IDEA fully, and state his position.

s6~We publish elsewhere extracts

@rWe publish elsewhere extracts
from the Natchitoches Chronicle, BY
which VIC learn that the extension Of
the Baton Rouge and Bayou Crosse Tcte
Railroad, through the center of the Red
River Valley, is a fixed fact. The neces.
sary funds for its extension in this par.
lsh to the Atchafalaya, have long ago
been subscribed, and we wonder WHY
the Directors have not already a part of
the work under way. We know, how.
ever, that ere another twelve months
elapses, the road will extend to the
Atchafalaya, and the iron horse will be
daily beard making its way through the
western part of this parish.
This parish, almost surrounded bv
navigable streams as it is, will have
railroad communication for that portion
the most distant from water navigation.
thereby making a complete circle of land
and water communication.

When. she does start in this trade from

should present Commodore feathers

FLurED kErrLEs.-The futed kettles
invented by DR.. L~efcbvre, and of which
we have several times spoken, may nov
be examinedsby all who are interested
in this novel and valuable continuance.
Three of the kettles have been landed
on our levec, between Bicnville and
Cont streets, and a fourth, of larger di-
mansions, may be seer at the place of
landing ofthe Bayou Sara packets. They
are very fine specimens of workman
ship, which do honor to the Cincinnati
Eagle Foundry, and to Its proprietor,
Nj. Greenwood. AS these kettles will
probably not remain long in New Or
leans, VIC take occasion to invite the
public to Investigate for themselves the
merit of this invention. Experience,
the best of all possible tests, has been
applied to establish it's value, the entire
cane crop Of Mr.. Valery Landry, near
DonaIdsonville, having been converted
INTO sugar last winter by the aid of these
kettles. bee.

CHANGE OF DIET FOR PLANTATION Ne.
GKoEs-Horace Gather, Esq, of the Ar
nauldia plantation, near Vidalia, has in.
troduced a change in his plantation diet
which is as pleasing to the negroes as
economical to the master. He causes
his force to be fed at breakfast and sup.
per on boiled goldfish and Irish potatoes.
The fish is that cured at the North, and
can be afforded here at So rs per hun
dred pounds, sc that a negro a have
more than twice the weight of fish served
out to- him that ne could of pork at less
expense. The mode is to boil the fish
with very fat pork or bacon grease. At
dinner the diet is as heretofore, fat pork,
greens and turnips, with sweet potatoes
in their season. The choice of Mr..
Gathers negroes has been consulted,
and they are unanimously well /" salts
fed
Such diet with corr bread at will, or,
as the French would say, ant dlseretiom,
would be too good for the ti,icvis1r hosts

Now IS THE T1ME.-If tire people of the
Red River Country are in earnest in
their oft expressed wishes for the con-
struction of a railroad, which will CON
meet them with New Orleans and the
other markets of the land, the opportu-
nitysis now afforded to give substantial
proof of such earnestness by setting
their shoulders to the wheels and putting
the enterprise in motion.
The construction of the lower portion
Of the road, say from its junction with
the Crosse Tete road at the A~tchafalaya
river to Cotile il Rapides parish is a
fixed and immutable fact; no doubt can
exist that the friends of the road on the
lower section will bring it to the Natchi.
toches lines.
The practical question henrpresents
itself: will the people of Natchitoches
carry it through their parish to the De
Soto line? We believe they will; we
think they mean work; we are of opin-
ion that they understand their true in
~terests. and that they will protect them;
we almost know that they will not be
behind their sister parishes in a matter
of such vital Importance.
Judge Bryce, the President of the
road, is now IN our town soliciting sub.
scriptions the stock by our citizens,
which will be expended upon that por-
ton of the road which passes through
our own parish. Now is the time to en-
the completion Of the road. Match

The Work GOES BRAvELY OS.-Our
people seem to be moving in earnest in
the matter of the subscription to the
railroad. We have heard of several
large and liberal subscriptions made by
our citizens, and no doubt exists in our
mind that Natchitoches will compare
most favorably with the other parishes
through which the road will pass, in the
amount ofstock which will be subscribed.
The amounts subscribed will be called
for only as the work progresses, and
the subscriptions will be appropriated
to the line of the road in the limits of
the parish. Let us ask of our fellow
citizens not to be discouraged by the
croakings and false Vaccinations Of the
Wlseacres of the stand-still school, but
set themselves to work with the deter
mnation that the scheme shall be sue
c%essful, and success must and will fol.
low. The sound practical sense of every
man will teach him that the immediate
construction of the road from Shreveport
West Baton Rouge, in conjunction
with the Crosse Tcte road, is feasible,
and then the gap between Baton Rouge
and the jackson road 60 miles) will be
at once closed. The sinews of war,
moneys, alone are needed, and this rich
and fertile section will furnish its quota.

no rain for so long a period, the crops

the cotton, which promises well in
