A Double MOUNTAIN ON THE Moon.

OUTRAGEOUS CorDucr.- r.--On Sunday even
ing last, our city was visited with IN os.
pestilentisl simeon Of ofdrunkness. A com
pany Of men pstaded the streets under the
Democratic doctrine, that "in union there
is strength" committing all manner Of
outrsges on persons and property, causing
the stores and houses TO close, and for q
time taking complete possession of the
place. II cannot he said the parties are
not known-it cannot be said that there
is not evidence TO convict them, and the
question arises, where are the authorities,
who are In the regular pay Of the people to
do what is clearly their duty, II any duty
at all is required Of them. This Ia not the
frst or second time that sueh disgtseefal
scenes have been witnessed in Baton Rouge
Of late years, and the violstors Of the Law
do 40 with impunity. Shall we admit that
the parties, who are charged with the duty
Of srrestins such aud calling on others to
aid them, when their power fails, are in
competent to the dutyi yes-,his is the
naked truth. The people are responsible
for this condition of things. The evils all
come out Of that pandorss box, Of all evil;
the ballot bon, which we for one are in ia
vor Of abolishins, II IL can do nothing bet
ter than elevate to place, men, notoriously
unfit for place. Where is the Mayor of the

anti We are all interested In these in
quiries, and IL there are not sober people
enough--iaw abiding citizens, 10 see thess

The Balloon Trip TO Europc-A Grand
Explosion.

II has heretofore been stated that
Prof. Lowe would make an attempt
at Philadelphia, 10 cross the ocean in
his balloon, and on Friday last, il was
generally understood that the expert.
ment would be made. Well, the ex-
pertinent was made. TO the extent OF
collecting an immense crowd Of dupes,
among whom we regret to see was a
reverend gentleman, who appeared
on the ground by request, and offered
up a prayer for the success Of the un-
jertaking, but though all appearances
seemed favorable. and everything pec-
essary had been provided, the whole
affair terminated ip one grand eSplo-
sion Of the balloon. Let us hope that
the bursting of the balloon the chatla-
tinism Of "Prof' Lowe also exploded.
w. - Bulletin.
The above furnishes additional ar.
gument to sustain our position on the
subject Of prayer. Prayer has got TO
be fashionable inniction. The right
TO pray, is granted in the charter Of
liberty. A man may pray for himself,
OF his friends, just as he likes,
and he may pray when and
where he likes. There Is no statute
regulating the voice Of prayer, so the
prayer,may eilberpray in porono,d ,dulci.
allegro, or bdsv. lie may pray in the
whine OF the lamb, or the roar Of the
lion. How much better IL would be
to close with prayer, than TO open.
Suppose the Rev. gentleman who was
called on TO pray for the balloon, had
waited until after the imitation, or
after Professor Lowe, hand left the
lean earth IL ia not evident that he
would have saved his prayer, and
the modification Of having delivered
il, to an exploded machine 7 Sup
pose instead Of employing a man to
pray every morning for Congress--for
a salary, that Congress could wait and
spend the last hour of the session in
this wsy' Would It not be more
reasonable, if not more eilicacious 7
To our mind that body has got to be
much like the ground over which the
priest refused to sprinkle holy water
tt wants rain--a regular shower from
heaven. 10 wash IL out. So with the
local Legislature, II would be profanity
10 pray for II, if IL were not a mere
form to be observed for form sake
having no place--no effect There il
altogether too much praying too
much precept, and too little example.
A good mans life is constant pray.
er, and IL IL, vain and foolish to pray
for them who do not deserve 20 be
prayed for. We have not yet heard
of prize fights, opening with prayer,
but expect. to soon.
