GO 1t was satisfactorily demonstrated on
Tuesday (day and night that it occasionally
rains in this part Of the country. The rain
during that time fell in torrents. OuTswamps
and bayous are overlooked, and we fear some
damage has been done by the food. A good
rain was much wanted and its effects upon
vegetation will be visible in a few days Of
sunshine.

LIFE is 4 MysTERY.-Six ladies were en-.
iioying themselves over the tea table, and, by
way Of amusement, they began confding to
each other in seceet how old they were; and
it was found that their united ages amounted
to 1875 years. The most Singular thing, how
ever, is, that the daughters Of these six Ia
.dies-and each lady had one-wese in the
next room, trying over the last new Polka !;
and, upon calculating their united ages, TIN.
result revealed the astounding faet. that, tho
not yet married, still they were older than
their mammas by 7 years, IL months and ii
days! The mystey is still unexplained; and
yet VIC should be 10th to accuse the young
ladies, for the purpose of gaining a victory
OF no moment whatever Of having made
themselves out to be older than they really
were. 3

GEN. WIN. WALKER-MR. DouGLAs.-We
had the pleasure of a call yesterday afternoon
from Gen. VIM. Walker, late President of
Nicaragua, who left on the train last night
for Charleston, whence ION Wednesday, he
takes steamer Tor New York. One purpose
of Gen. Walker, in visiting the North, is to
supervise the proof sheets of his forth-com-
ing History of his Expedition to Nicaragua,
which will be issued early in April.
The General is still a firm believer in the
necessity of a slave government outside OF
this Union-Nicaragua, for instance-and re-
CARDS Hon. S. A. Douglas as one of the most
devoted friends of that mode of slavery ex-
tension. He is a firm believer, TOO, in the
success of Douglas before the Charleston
Convention.
Gen. Walker will return to New. Orleans
in a few weeks.-Moutgoneyy Mail.

being committed. OK
Governor Houston's letter intimates to the

The Plaquemine tberviI'e) Magnolia, of
the 25th. says: '
On last Thursday evening a shooting scrape
took place between Joseph Houssiean, Alfred
Brown and Josiah Brown. The cause OF the
cnIty seems to have been this Houss,ran

river, when a quarrel ensued between him
and Alfred Brown, which caused Brown to
strike him, whereupon Houssieau pulled out
a pistol and shot him in the knee. Brown
then called his brother, Josiah Brown, to bring
him something to defend himself with. Dur
ing this time, Houssieau shot him again, the
ball %wounding him BROWN in the abdomen.
Josiah Brown then came up. and fred several
times at Houssieau, one Of the balls taking
effect in his back, inhictiny a flesh wound.
Alfred Brown is not expected TO reeover.

Fprr N%EGRoEs IN H FREE STATES

FREE NEGROES IN THE FREE STATES
The John Brown raid in Virginia is produ-
cling its reaction upon the free States. The
greater determination which that attack upon
the peace of the South has created to rld
themselves OF a large population OF free me-
eroes they contain, suggests trouble in the
free States. with a new population OF idle:
worthless. negro exiles from the South. In
several quarters we observe a movement to
prevent the immigration of sucn a class OF
inhabitants. but none more suggestive than
the following petition, numerously signed:
from the people of Western Pennsylvania
that has found its way into the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
To the Honorable the Senate and House Of hep
resemta.ives Of the Commonwealth of Penn
%sylvania, in General assembly met:
Your petitioners humbly request that the
rapid growth of the free negro population by
emigration, within a brief period, is not only
a burden to your petitioners. by increasing
demands on our poor fund, but owing to their
great Incidence and dissipation, they nave
filled our prisons, thus increasing our taxes 70
an enormous extent. The recent raid at Har'
per's Ferry will result in stringent laws by
the Southern States for the expulsion of free
negroes from their limits. SO we must shortly
have thousands more of these unfortunate
creatures thrown upon us, many of them in
the decline of life, or otherwise incapacitated
for labor. The exigency calls upon your
honorable body to adopt some measures to
prevent an inci ease of our already burdened
condition. If your honorable body has not
the power to prevent their emigration to
this State, we would prefer a slave code.
The feeling expressed in the above petit
ton is growing all over the country

REPUBLICAN PuRlrY.-The following facts
are their own best commentary. The Re-
publican State Treasurer of Maine stole $780,
600 of the peoples money, and applied $780,
900 of it to bribery in the elections, by that
means electing Daniel f. Somes and Ezra
B. French, a couple of pure Republicans to
Congress by small malorities from the first
aud third districts of Maine. Bribery and
corruption alone elected these men, and
bribery with stolen money, too. The Re-
publican State Treasurer OF Michigan is an-
other plunderer of the peoples money to the
Massachusetts, the Republican Liquor agent
is proved to be a cheat, and he, too, has Eek
tended" to the tune Of $500 900! And one
of the Republican State Senators in the same
State-Frye, Of Worcester-has just been
compelled to resign his seat by 4 discovery
Of forgeries amounting to $4,000.

LOUISIANA CoAL.-We met an intelligent
gentleman in this city a short time since who
ga re us some important information in rela-
tion to an immense coal region up the Wach-
itta river which ought to excite considerable
interest amongst the citizens of this State.
particularly the sugar planters, whose supply
Of wood is becoming exhausted. The coal
region is about $50 miles a ,ove the mouth OF
the Wachitta and is accessible by steam
boats more than six months every year. The
supply is inexhaustibie, and according to the
test which has been made it is said to be
better than the Pittsburg coal. 1t can be de-
livered on the bank Of the river for six cents
a bushel, or eighteen cents per barrel. 1t is
confidently believed that steamers car take
il down the Wichita aud Atchafalaya rivers
and deliver it on the banks Of the Teche, or
any where in St. Mary, at ten cents = bushel,
or thirty cents per barrel. Four barrels Of
this coal are equal to one cord Of wood
Would it NOT be well for our planters who
are running short of fuel to look into this
matter. If they can get this coal in unlimi-
ted quantities at thirty cents a barrel, which
is equal to sl.2O a cord for word. does it not
give a new and unexpected value to their
Plantations and their property' Ii the state
men is made by a recent writer in the Plea
yune who is president of the mining comfa-
ny of that region. and also by a report of a
special committee of the New Orleans Acad-
envy Of Sciences be true, may not a company
be eventually formed among the planters Of
St. Mary to send steamers yearly to the coal
regions and get their supply OF fuel for sugar
makings The company, or parties who own
a mine below that of the slipper Wachitta
Coal & Mining Company prefer delivering
their coal ready for shipment at SIX cents per
hushel, and let those purchasing do their
shipping. We have not time or space to en-
large upon this SUBJECT: but we have given the
leading facts, and may refer to it again in a

BY ALBERT sUTIFFE.
Old letters, reminiscent of past wears.
Yellow with age, (my fancy makes it golden)
Embalming as in amber, smiles and tears,
And faces meier again to be beholden
How pours flood of light along each line.
Like moonrlse, when the sun hath three hours left
70 shame the poor pale stars we thought divine,
Ere yet our dark-browed Fate of hope bereft us.
How sweet this odor of the ocean wave!
And that far sea sound where the northeast RACES!
And do see this newly sodden grave,
Or but these fading words and dusty pages,
On this epistle gazed some deep brown ewes;
Above it swept cloud of dark brown resses;
My gentle friend were you Apollo-wse,

This hath an echo in the ctys streets
That friendly football coming nearer. nearer;
In every line my poor heart louder beats
Till the warm greeting makes the friendship dearer
Kind friends with mild blue eyes and low sweet
words,
And amber tresses, lis the grey entwining?
Hast thou uncaged the last of Hopes glad birds
DeHealn tie WILLOWS Wnere lett thee piniu9!
Here faint odor of the orange groves
Comes round me, sweeter than Sabean spices
Blown whence the Arab youths make garden loves,
With amorous gifts and quantest flower devices.
Now from the mountains blow the breezes down
New England mountains picturesque and airy,
All Puritan from shrouded foot to crown.
Neer trod by pagan iawn nor graceless fairy
ANA these dim pages; ah! they crumble so
who wrote them? Y GU are sery fain to gricye me-
SO fade the summers, the autumn's go
SO joys decduous, leai-like, fower-ike, leave me
And this! and this? Dead! dead! l tell you, dead
Else they were graves if there were none TO Ill
them;
Long, mouTnful fields, with paths the white ghosts
tread
Thick with death. The fateful Sisters till
them.
Just now twas summer; in its lap the snow.
blooming field; storm doth smite the clover
A breezy day; the miasm like a blow
Doth strike me meath the low clouds closing over.
Lay them aside and end this fruitess strife;
