THE HUNT.

A Hunter In the forest stood,
Was leaning listly on his gun,
His horse still broused the tender wood,
And anxious seemed to have his run.
when from afar was family heard,
The bsying Of the faithful hound,
And then the horse passed round the wood
BE on your guard, they now come round.
The Hunter bravely takes his stand,
The sweat was dripping from his brow,
with knife unshesthed and gun In hand'
And every thing quite ready now.
And now the dogs are ccursine fast,
The excited Hunter raised his gun,
But NO, the pack are going past,
His Hunter flies, he has his run,
lie hears a crash, he sees the spot,
The deer is rushing through the cane,
Bang, bang, both barrels threw the shot,
And sure enough brought down the game.
Now long and loud he winds his horn,
To call the hunters TO the death,
They al come rushing as storm,
And those on foot, near cut of breath.
Is 10 bueki no, tits q doe,
All run TO see, they scream, they laugh,
The pretty thing was laying low,
lie shot, and killed his neighbours eaf.

The CArsn OF QuAnprt.-tt may

not pe generally known, but this
does not make The naked truth any
the less veritable, that the reason
why one side of the Democracy of
Louisiana stands apart and autag-
onistic TO the other, Is owing to the
fact that the Convention which met
in this city to select delegates TO
the Cincinnati Presidential Nomi-
mating Convention, was decidedly
in favor of Stephen A. Douglas M
the first choice of the Louisiana
Democracy. There was q clear
understanding that they should
vote for Mr.. Douglas. Subsequent
events developed the fact that
they - the delegates - had good
private reasons for acting other
wise. We recotiect the blank.
look of surprise and establishment
with which the telegrapaic an
nouncement was received here,
that the delegates from Louisiana
had decided the matter in favor Of
another. Here commenced the
rupture. Another gentleman re-
ceived the nomination-went into
Office and power, and, of course,
had the same amount of friends
and admirers that Judas, or the
devil himself would have, If invest
ed with absolute control of the
public cribs and stables. The Lit
tie Giant is now playing the part
of Banquo at the feast, and at the
mention of his maine, others besides
Macbeth, start with terror. Surely
he would not go 80 far counter To
the average run of humanity as to
keep his enemies nearest his per-
son, should he be called on to pre-
side at the feast hence It is that
the fight is one for life itself The
enemies of the giant are willing TO
admit even Know.nothings of the
last degree into the caucus, on the
condition of silence and servility /;
but let them cry Douglas" and
their names are stricken from the
rolls and entered on the list of the
damned. They are marked and
numbered as we find them in the
Legislature, and all about the
country In spots. What has been
the extent of Douglas offending ?
Principally this he did not get
the nomination. He has been bold
and fearless enough to say, in our
own Crescent City. just what he
has said in other and more remote
sections of the common domain -
He is a blunt, out-spokcn man
says little, and that to the point.
If he Is defeated land his chances
are fully equal to the best) It will
be on this account The people,
irrespective of party, want such n
one to run against the mere party
man. He represents the American
sentiment, in his bluntness and
liberality, We do not attach the
name American" to him In po-
litical, but a national sense. The
disposition to keep him out Of the
Charleston Convention should start
him on the track as the peoples
candidate. ttftht1

Distribution of Seeds.

UNITED SrArEs PATENT OFrioE,
FEBRUARY 2, 1860 Sir The fol.
lowing extract from the fohrthcom-
ing Agricultural Report of the
Commissioner of Patents will ex-
plain the reason why the destribu-
ton Of the various kinds of domes-
tic seeds, which have heretofore
been sent ont from this Office, il
dispensed with during the present
fiscal year.
Owing to the reduced appropria-
ton made by Congress for agricul.
tural purposes for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1860, the Office
has been compelled to reduce its
expenses and conline it's action to
more limited sphere than hereto
fore. In doing this, il was found
necessary either to- decline pur-
chasing for distribution the usual
varieties of garden and field seeds,
or 10 abandon the experiment Of
propagating the tea and various
other foreign plants and grape
cuttings for which the orders had
been given. The expenses which
had already been incurred in their
procurement would hardly justify
the Office IN throwing them aside.
Il was accordingly deemed advisa-
ble-o apply the remainder of the
funds solely to the procuring Of in
formation and preparing the mate
rial for the Agricultural Report
and to the propagation and distri-
button of such varieties of foreign
seeds aud cuttings as had been al
ready engaged These are of such
nature, that if they had been dis
tributed throughout the country
Immediately upon their receipt, the
probability Is that very few of
them would reach their destination
in fit state for propagation. The
tea seeds more particularly, arriv-
cd in such a condition that II was
of the utmost Importance to plant
them at once. For this purpose
large propoagating houses were
erected upon the Government
grounds, north of the canal, be-
4 aud 9th streets. These struc-
lures now answer well the purpose
for which they are intended, as is
exhibited by the fact that we have
ready for distribution over 10000
well-rooted tea plants; 10000 for
eign and domestic grape-viaes |;
900 rooted secdless pomegranate
cuttings, and various foreign med
cinal, and orn amental plants
These will be ready for destribu-
ton during the present winter and
the ensuing spring.
