v Sometime during the night of
Tuesday last, an attempt was made by
some burglar to rob the strong box of
our present City Treasurer, Mr.. F.
Kern. He had for the grearer security
of the books, vouches, etc. etc, which
had been placed in his charge by the
City Council, obtained strong pad
fosk and placed it upon the hasp of the
irsa safe and locked the Same.
o. Wednesday morning when he en-
'sered the Office he found that some per-
son had gained adnittance, and had
placed a key in the paddock which
would open it, but could not be taken
fromthe lock without the aid OF smith,
and wae there suffered TO remain by the
party who had used it. They did not
,ebtain his funds-they 'oere elscehere.

~ Monday next is the regular meeting-day of
the Police Jury for the Left Bank of this Parish.
Much interest is exhibited on the part Of n large
portion Of the residents of this Parish in reference
to the opening and extending Of Magazine street;
and It is to be hoped that that body will give to the
subject their early and special attention.
We refer to it at the instance Of numerous resi-
dents Of our Parish, who assert that the opening
of Magazine and other important thoroughfares
leading from New Orleans direct to this city, would
prove of great advantage, not only to the citizens
of this city, but to all the inhabitants of large
section of the Parish.

Army and Nary LnteLhgence.-On
the 23rd the War Department received
large number of dispatehusErom vari-
GUS quarters.
Captain Smith gives the details of his
victorious battle with the Indians,
twenty-five miles northeast of Lake
Harvey, Oregon. He is inclined to be-
lieve that all the Indians of that region
of country are hostile. Col. Wright
had promptly ordered the artillery
and dragons to march at once to the
scene of hostilities. With these Major
Steen was to .scour the whole country,
and cause the savages to sue for peace.
Dispatches from Fort KearneY, Ne
braska, in giving the particulars of the
fight with the kioways and Comanches,
near Republican river, state that twenty
or thirty of them we're killed.. They
numbered about six hundred. % the
purt of the troops, one private was
missing, two were wounded, and five of
the Indian guides were killed.
Intelligence has been received from
New Mexico, relative to the hostile
character of the Indians there.
Advices from Camp Cady, California,
mention that, an interesting council had
been held with the Pah-Utes. Threats
were made and good advice given.
If these IndiaHs can be believed. they

Hdrk ! from the Toombs. - Senator
Toombs, of Georgia, in late speech, at
Columbus, Ga, according to the Sun Of
that place, declared that,
If Lincoln should, as President of the
United States, desecrate the White House
at Washington, by taking the oath to sup
port the Constitution, he would resign his
commission as Senator and become a can
didate for the White House at Milledge-
vile.
Upon which the Cincinnati Enquirer
remarks:
Toombs wants badly to be Governor Of
Georgia, and it would seem, from the
course he is pursuing, that his only hope
of attaining that position is through the
election Of Lincoln. He assists in dis
rupting the Democratic party to promote
Lincoln's election, hoping that dissolution
may follow, and he then may be the Gov
ernor of Georgia. Is that it Mr.. Toombs?
The Star" is the name of new
paper soon to appear at Columbus, Ga. 1t

BY the Ariel at New York we have
later intelligence from South Ame-
RIGA.
Mem Granada-The revolution. in
New Granada and Peru IS still going
on. Both the Liberals and Conserva-
tives are making further preparations
for extended operations. There has
been number of small engagements
and several places had been taken by
the former.
Sr. Vieco surprised the forces under
Consuegra, who was taken prisoner.
Vieco was about to attack Comandante
G.. Vega, who, with e force of $50
men, was at Camarones. On the news
of Vieco's success reaching Cartha-
gena, Nieto arrested more than thirty
of the Conservative party.
Amongst the passengers by the Tama
was Sr. Julio Arboleda, the leader in
the revolution of 1851, who now re-
turns to lend his assistance to the Con-
stitutional Government.
Peru--Advices from Peru state that
ansassassination of President Castillo
had been attempted on the day of tho
|ceIebration of independence. A pis-
|stoI bullet was lodged in his arm, caus-
Eing painful wound.
The Peruvian Government has re-
fused to settle the demands made by
diplomacy, although the French claims
had been allowed. The United Minis
ter is said to have sent for the Pacific
squadron to rendezvous at Callao to en-
force the claims of the United States.
Business Is very dull owing to the
introduction between Peru and Bolivia
still being in force; nothing as yet has
been done by either party.
In Callao the principal news is the
celebration of the independence, and
Isan attempt made to shoot the President.
On the Goth of July, while Castillo was
on his way to his house, a man on
horseback deliberately rode up and
fred at him. The man then threw the
pistol away and rode off. The ball
went through Castilla's arm, and he is
| so i'll that ON the 2Sth ult, he could not
open Congress. A reward of 100000

! assassin.

Practical Wisdom Of Washington.-

dences of the manner in which the work
of surveying was done by Washington

When engaged in engineering lower

per's Ferry and Georgetown-I have
not untrequently hunted up and found

Washington himself, their position be-

preserved) as that there was no mistak-
ing their paternity. In all, hundreds,
it may be, of civil engineers have la
bored over the routes Of Washington's
original survey of the Potomac in the
last thirty-three or four years, and, one
and all, they will testify that the evil

address Of the Union Electoral Com
mittee to the Union Men Of Ne,0 York.
Yesterdays mail, (says the True Delta
of yesterday brought US the Address
of the Union Electoral Committee to
the Union men of New York." giving
their reasons for joining the National
Democracy in the formation of Union
Electoral ticket. The document is
frank and forcible. The chief object
of the Union ticket is to prevent the
election of a sectional President-to
avoid the two extremes-and to stif1e
the slavery agitation. They state that
men who are their associates and leaders
in the great Union movement in the
State of New York, and in the North
generally, are those, most of them,
who have for many years past abstained
from all part in the politics of the coun-
try, and thus voluntarily excluded them
selves from the rewards of ambition,
because they could not conscient1ously
join either of the great political parties.
They have been drawn from their re-
tirement in the belief that there is now
opened to them way of honorable use
fulness. Among other things the Adore
says:
We must not forget, in opposing north
ern sectionalism, to beware of running
into the opposite extreme. In avoiding
the northern Scylla, let us take care not
to fall into the Southern Charybdis. There
are some Northern men who seem TO think
that the surest way to preserve the Union
is to grant whatever Southern ultraists
may demand. We are not of this class.
