teemed and honorsd commander, Captain ]. B.
Walton on .le occasion of the anniversary Of lis
birthday. Ia their handsome uniform, with side
arms, and headed by Maneiri's band, Inc company
started out, shortly after O'Clock, and after a
round through some Of the Streets halted in front
OF their Captains residence, on st. Joseph street.
Here Maneiri and his men discoursed airs from
Norma and such other sweet music as vas best |
adapted to serenaaers, and in style such as could
not have been exceeded by any other brass band |
extant. At the close Of the serenade, Capt. Wal
ton appeared at his door. Iieat. Voorhies, Tho I
commanded the company up to this iuncture, step |
ped forward, and in neat and graceful speech, |
announced the purpose and meaning of the COM |
pany's visit. Capt. Walton responded with fsW I
handsome words of acknowledgment and then, |
taking command of the company, gave the order |
to march, right into his house. The gallant ArtiI-
lerists, whose first principle it always has been and
still is to obey the captains orders, at once made
the charge. Flashing chandeliers, lighted parors,
and other brightnesses, calculated to subdue any
except a lot OF 9" brave and true who had
made up mind and soul to meet the issue, what
ever that issue might be.
The Artillerists, being in the castle, dared
to do their best or their worst; they "went n; but
they came off defeated. There was whole Sebas-
topol Of mahogany, mounted with glass pieces,
heavily charged; there in the rear regular
Maakoff and Redan of that kind of artillery which
settles besiegers by hitting them directly in the
stomach. The brave Artilerists made the assault
but after brief siege had to fall back. To drop the
igurative, there was pleasant and delightful re-
union within the walls of Capt. Watons hospitable
mansion, and numerous were the speeches and
toasts which came from the heart, not only Of
members of the company, but of the invited guests,
one of which we had the pleasure of being. It was
in truth cordial and delightful reunion, such as
few except Capt. Walton and his company could
get up. After an hour or more of pleasantest con-
VITALITY Capt Walton called his company to order,
and ordered charge upon Castle Slocomb, on St.
Charles street. Mr.. Cuth. Slocomb, one of the
privates of the company, surrendered the keys of
his castle and let down the drawbridge with
cut parley; but within another Crimea of defiant
liquids and viands, garing forth in paixhans of
glass and mortars of china, challenged them to still
another assault. The Artillersts nothing daunted,
accepted the banter, aud pitched in again. Here,
as at Capt. Walton's, the scene was delightful and
exhiarating to the full humor and scope of all who
were present. 1t was late when the company left
the hospitable mansion of the Slocembs. May Capt.
Walton be still young at his next birthday, and
may his gallant company be still more formidable
when they shall next besiege him.
THE ANTI ABOLITION ExoITEMENT.-Wel last week
mentioned the arrest of VIM. Harris, proprietor of
a snake and animal show on Baronne street, at the
| instance of the Mayor and Chief of Police, on the
charge of being Abolitionist, who had expressed
| Abolition sentiments, etc. On Saturday, Harris
was before Judge Hunt, of the First District Court,
on writ of habeas corpus, sued ont for him by
his counsel Col. Field. Upon examination, it was
| shown that Harris had said he would have voted
| for Lincoln, had there been Lincoln electora
ticket in this State After hearing the case, ant
| there being no law to punish man for being
Lincoln man or an Abolitionst, Judge Hunt con
frmed the writ and set the prisoner at liberty.
! The following appeared in yesterday mornings
! Daily Delta:
| The Vigilance Committee waited upon certain
/ homeopathic doctor, of not only John Brown sym
pathes, but of strong personal resemblance in ap-
| pearance to that dead disciple of Lincoln.
The Vigilance Committee was armed with the
authority Of the best testimony of gentlemen of
position in this city, who state that said Dir. A. H.
/ b.. is " active abolitionst,' and his sthouse.
| keeper" Mrs. Harriet p. ..., correspondent OF
that ineendiary sheet known as the Boston Banner
of Life.
! Both these individuals have accumulated wealth
in our city during the past three years, and one
| has been To Cleveland, Ohio, to sympathize with
the " sympathizers' and Avengers Society of John
| Brown,' while the other has sent her vile fumi-
nations to the Banner of Light, cheering what are
| termed the " Hopeful.n
When the Vigilance Committee visited the house
of the g Doctor,n they quietly informed him and
his housekeeper of their mission of inquiry, and
/ then proffered some friendly advice, which is to
this effect: +" You, DR.. A. H. B., and you Mrs
Harriet P, would do well to leave this city and
State for some foreign country-say your native
land, in the region Of Saekett's Harbor, N. z, o.
for Ohio land.'i
Monday evening, at 9.o'clock, is the hour recon
mended or advised for their departure.
The Doctor above alluded to is Doctor A
H. Burritt. He last evening called upon US, ant
stated that he was visited by some persons who
notified him to leave within forty-eight hours
He fatty denies being Black Republican or al
Abolitionist, in any way; asserts that he has lvet
in the South six years, has his home here, and il
for the South, whatever way it chooses to go !; tina
his housekeeper is an illiterate woman, incapable
of writing letter to any paper; that the accnsa
tions against him only the malice of parties allu
ded to in his card and that having done no wrong
he does not intend to leave the city as notified tt
do has called upon the authorities for protection
courts investigation and intends to abide the issue
As we have before intimated, people may be to,
hasty, sometimes, in their hunt for Abolitionists
defence, challenges investigation, throws himsel
upon the law, and refuses to leave. Gentlemen
remember Davy Croekett's immortal motto, g B
sure you're right, then go ahead!"
