The New ORLEANS OBSERVATIONS
ist," the agreeable and reliable cores
pondent whom the Hon. J. Q. Nixon, the
entcrprising proprietor of that leading
metropolitan journal, the New Orleans
Crescent, haddispatched TODD up "Lou-
isiana in Slices" during the ssmmcr, has
been, for the week past, knocking round
in Pointe Coupee and makingsa general
survey of the parish, in order to do JUS
tice to SO prominent a sub-commonwcalth
of the State al it is. His letters from
other parishes have been at once correct,
instructive ndcntertaining, and we
look with interest to the appearance Of
his Pointe Coupee letter. We believe
that "Tourist' goes hence to invade the
Red River parishes, and w e cordially
commend him to our brethren of the quill
whereabouts. The Crescent and oursel1
do not always agree on Aauestions Of
politics, but VT are ready 70 do it the
justice of awarding it a prominent place
in the ranks of Southern journalism as g
heightened, patriotic and w~ell-edited
paper, and the enlarged scale Of its
present corresponding enterprise is il
keeping with that characteristic liner
ality and wisdom of the management
which has rendered it So valuable a
journal to both the interior and city
reader.

THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY %, 1860.
HURT WITH THEIR OWN WEAPONS.

The Union, printed at Rochester, New York,
complains that there exists throughout the coun-
try band of thieves who are carrying on their
depredations to considerable extent. These fell
lows are provided with teams, and are in the habit
of visiting nearly every barn that they find their
route, stealing thereirom whatever articles may
have been left exposed. In some instances they
have made large hauls Of valuable harness, robes
and carriage furniture
In all probability, this "band Of thieves'' is
portion Of the famous " Underground Railroad,
that is kept up at the North for the purpose OF
stealing and running off Southern slaves. The
confederates belonging to the Underground Railroad
are provided with wagons and teams, and make
their trips through the Northern States with great
celebrity Heretofore, the work of the spies and
villains employed at the South in persuading slaves
to decamp, has kept the various agents along the
line of the railroad" pretty busy. But lately
the extreme vigilance Of the Southerners has inter-
fered much in the business Of the Abolition agents,
and the number Of runaways has greatly fallen Off
This has thrown the .railroadn hands along the
line out of employ; and they very naturally have
turned TO promiscuous and general thievery, to
g keep their hands in' and kill the time. Once a
man begins to steal, he never turns back. Take
the case of Helper, for instance. At eighteen
years he robbed the till of his employer; before
he has reached thirty, he is branded as dirty Ii
beer of his own section, and traitor to his native
State. So with the underground negro-stealers.
They proceed rapidly on their road Of crime, and
few years sufices to bring them to a felon's end.
In the meantme,ewe have no sympathy to waste
upon those who are now suffering from their de-

THE WHEAT CROP IN KEsTucKY.-A correspond
ent of the Louisville Courier writes The farmers
are all unanimous in the belief that their wheat is
totally destroyed except some few who sowed
very early in the season. They say that it has
not been bitten of, but actually torn up by the
roots by the hard freezes SO that there is no pros
pect of its sproutng up again.

WATERING AN AupIENcE-A few months since,
on the occasion of some disturbances in the theater
of Port Louis, Mauritius the Mayor ordered water
to be pumped on the audience. The inhabitants
subsequently held an Indignation meeting and
memorialsed the Governor on the subject. After
vain recourse to the courts, the matter was
dropped,

BLACK REPUBLICAN, 0UTRAGE.-The Louisville
Courier charges Governor Bisseli, Of Illinois, with
conniying at the escape Of a negro fellow named
Riley. A requisiton for Riley from the Governor
Of Kentucky was presented at Springfield, on the
Sth inst Governor Bssell affected much kindness,
Immediately wrote note to the Secretary of State
for the necessary papers, and favorably impressed
the Kentuckians by his suavity and courtesy. But
mark the sequel. Governor Bisse on the noon
train the day previous, had dispatched message
with an order to the warden Of the prison ordering
the slave to be discharged forthwith, and advising
the warden that he would fill pardon when he
was informed Of the date Of the discharge. Dyer,
a noted Abolitonist Of Chicago, conveyed the
slave to that city, and on the arrival Of the Ken
tuckians, who pursued him, had him taken to Can
ada The Courier says there is no mistake about
the matter. Governor Bissel has anticipated his
own pardon to criminal and is guilty of bad faith
and unmanly deception to the officials of sister
State, because the felon is negro and slaye

BILLIARDS PRACTICALLY CoNsIDERED.-The Blu
cyrus to.l Journal thus speaks of the game of
billiards:
Yes, sir, we tell you all about billiards It is
game consisting of two men in their shirt sleeves,
punching balls about on a table, and presenting
the keeper with twenty cents, or, as is most COM
mark it down. This last mentioned custom has
given them the title of billiard-markers. If you
have decided genius for the game, you will make
superior player at an expense Of about $50OO

THE SECOND DELuGE. A French philosopher
| has Just proved, by the procession of the equi-
noxes, that onehalf of this globe was really over
whemed with i flood about thirteen thousand
wears ago. and that the other half will experience
a similar deluge in about nine thousand years
more. AS we have no notion of living long enough
practically test the truth error of this theory
probably disgust US with it entirely the matter is
Of slight Importance. II we did expect to live until
the coming Of thesecond deluge, though, we should
pray it to occur in summer, for it is dreadfully
uncomfortable thing 70 be immersed in cold water.
The worst Of this French idea is, its assumption
that the old food came from the icy regions of the
North Pole, and that the new one is to come from
the still icier regions Of the South Pole. Good
heavens, what frigid prospect? It makes Us shud-
der to think Of the fate Of the poor devils who viii
then be living. Floating cakes Of lee viii be their
arks. Those who are not drowned will be frozen
10 death. The bears will make ice cream of the
sweetest OF them. What q Delightful thought.
