THE CANVASS IN LoUrsIANA.-D During the week
we have had it in our power to obtain what we
regard as reliable information from quite con-
siderable number of the parishes above the mouth
Of Red river, and we are thereby induced 10 the
belief that upon fair showing at the ballot boxes,
the yapeFing Of our Breckaridge friends about
large majoriLes for their ticket in these parishes
are mere air-castes, having nothing really sub
stantpl to rest on. In the tier Of parishes along
the river up to the Arkansas line, il they obtain
any majority, it will be very small In Catahoula,
Franklin, Caldwell, 0uaehita and Morehouse. the
aggregate Of the Breckinridge majerities win foot
up the Inerest trile. intwo, II not three, Of the
last named parishes, the Bsll aud Everett ticket
will certainly prevail. In Union it will be close.
The customary hundreds Of old Claiborne will
out seriously curtailed Of their swelling pro-
portions. B0ssier, Bienville, Jackson and Winn
are about the only parishes North Of Red river, Of
which we have no data upon which to base an
opinion.
Our impression however, is, that their combined
vote does not exceed $500, and out Of this residu-
ary vote it will hardly be regarded as immodest if
claim fifth for our ticket and another fifth for
Douglas. Upon this showing, Breckiaridge cannot
get within gunshot OF the majority $4,000 go conf
IDENTIFY claimed Tor him by his friends in that Sec
ton Of the State, and without which, we are of
opinion it is not possible for him 10 carry the State.
Our friends in New Orleans and in all the lower
parishes are hard at work and very sanguine Of
success From present indications it seems almost
certain that with the maorties the Bell and Everett
ticket is destined to receive in st. James, Teire-
bonne, St. Martin, St Mary, Verfnillion, the two
Baton Rouges, st. Landry, and Caddo, we shall
reach the mouth Of Red river with the big majori-
ties of New Orleans and Jefferson undiminished,
or at least with no material reduction. To over
come these majorities North Louisiana will have
just about the hardest job Of work that she has
ever yet taken in hand.

IfIssTATEMENT GoRREcTED. The following is
from the last number Of the Marion Common
wealth, Breckinridge paper:
Persondt-Some time since a correspondent of
this paper, writing from Montgomery, stated that
the Bell and Everett Executive Committee at
Washington City were sending out two records of
John Bell, one for Northern and the other for
Southern circulation. 1t is due to the reputation
that our correspondent bears for the trnthfulness
and candor OF his statements, and it is also due to
the position We occupy as public journalist, that
we should state that he is satisfied after nvestiga
ting the matter that he was not fully justified in
making the statement above referred to, and we
are authorized by that gentleman to say that the
mistake was entirely unintenIional, and that he
was not the only person who really believed, from
the evidence before them, that two records of Bell
were being sent out We are fully satisfied that
our correspondent did not Intentionally make a
misstatement am"a
