A SHIFTLESS FARMER.

Just take glimpse of him. He throws his manure out under the caves of his barn, and lets it lie in sun and air, teaching away half it's strength in the neighboring streams. He neg lects, also, to make use of many other useful matters which might go to increase the compost heap-such as bones, ashes, chip dirt contents of privy, forest leaves, droppings of hen roosts, etc., etc. Yet at the same time, he buys ma. nure at the neighboring town, and carts it home at considerable expense. 1a
 He allows noxious weeds to overrun his land white daisy, snap dragon, burdock, yellow dock, quack grass, Canada thistles, and many other vile roots too numerous to mention. The time was, when most of these could have been exterminated by little labor. When they first appeared in small numbers, a very little work with wedding hoe or dock extractor would have headed them off entirely. But now. hay. ing had full swing for years, they laugh at the shiftless mans puny efforts and windy threats But this is not the worst of the evil. Ths neighboring farmers are active, enterprising men
 and have done their best to keep the land claai of foul roots, but the seeds blow over in clouds from the shiftless mans field, and they are al most in despair. What if they do N.

 MARRIED MISERIES.

MARRIED MlSERlES. This old English Song was written by Char tton, who died two hundred years ago. :, How uneasy is his life
 Who is troubled with wife Y @aa -t Be she ne CT so fair or comely, .f Be she ne'er so foul or homely, Be she ne'er so young and toward, Be she ne'er so old and froward, Be she kind, with arms enfolding, Be she cross, and always scolding, Be she blithe or melancholy,
 Have she wit or have she folly, Lastly, be she good or evil,
 Be she saint or be she devil ;- Yet uneasy is his life f......--. Who is marry'd to wife.
 If young and sweet, she is too tender, If old and cross no man can mend her, If, too kind, she's ever clinging, If true scold, she's ever dinging, If a wit, she'll still be jeering, If a fool, she's ever feering, s-t If too wary, then she'll shrew thee, If to lavish, she'll undo thee, If she be of the reformation, Thy house will be a conyocation,- So uneasy is his life Who is marry'd to wife.
 These are all extremes, I know, But all women kind is so, ida. 1.-.. And the golden mean to none Of that dangerous race is known; Or to one if known it be,
 Yet that one's unknown to me. Some Ulyssean traveller .--. May perhaps have gone so far, As t have found tin spite of Nature) Such an admirable creature: Yet uneasy is his life, Who is marry'd to wife. But, alas there's no such woman, The calamity is common, The very first rib did bring in ruin, And the rest have since been doing, Some by one way, some another, Woman still is mischiefs mother, And yet cannot man forbear, Though it cost him ne'er so dear. Yes, uneasy is his life,
 Who is marry'd to wife. s4 ssl Why, then, all the great pains taking? Why the signing why the waking? Why the riding? why the running Why the artifce and cunning? -. Why the whining :? why the crying? Why pretending to be dying? Why all this clutter to get wives, To make us weary all our lives? For uneasy is his life
 Who is marry'd to wife. Yet with me 'tis out of season To complain thus without reason, Since the best andFswcetest fair Is allotted to my share. But, alas ! I love her so That ny love creates my woe, For if she be out of humor, Straight displeas'd I dosspresume' her, And would give tie world to know What it is otfends her SO; Or if she be discontented, Lord, how am 1 then tormeated! And am ready to persuade her That have unhappy made her; If she's sick, then am dying, Meat and medicine both defying :- So uneasy is his life
 Who is marry'd to wife

 Something in my manner must have impressed my fair companion with the idea of an adven- ture, for the introduction was made with evident embarrassment on her part, and she fingered close by. gazing in the faces of Madame and my self with an air of puzzled embarrassment.
 As my inquiring glance met that of Madam Delauney, I thought I detected something like a start scarcely pereeptible--a mere shrinking of the pupil of the eye, double palpitation of the heart as she seemed to read my vocation at a glance, and felt flash of fear. This may, how ever, have been only the result of my own con viction. She was dressed Tn what is termed sec ond mourning. consisting of a black satin skirt with f1ounces fringed and embroidered with green leaflets, pink bodice cut low in the neck, and embroidered with dark velvet. The sleeves were exceedingly wides with loose white underslesves A blue scarf .encircled her waist. She wore nc ornaments, save plain breastpin, and solitary diamond ring upon her middle finger,

PARISH OF PLAeuEmNEs, May 1, 1861.

tARiS1 or ILAQUEM1NES, May j, 1851,
The editor Of the Rice Planter, for
publishing that Judge Foulhouze ap-
peared to have voted twice in this
Parish at the last Judicial Election,
was arrested for SANDER and libel few
days ago. Judge Foulhouze proved
beyond any doubt that the charge was
false, though his name appears on the
returns as having voted both at
Pointe- -la-Hache and at Ayers.
One of the Election Commissioners at
Ayers Poll, Mr.. Charles j. Cannon.
frankly acknowledged that he did put
down the Judges name on the election
return, but it was through mistake
of his, for Judge Foulhouze did not
vote there.
Last Saturday, Messrs. Caro- and
Cannon were brought for examination
before Squire Rapp, who sent both
accused before our District Court.
Mr.. Cannon under the charge of
perjury, and Mr.. Caro- under the charge
of SANDER and libel.
! This will probably be the first case
which, in October next will be tried
before Judge Burthe.
L In his issue of last Saturday, the
editor Of the Rice Planter, abiding to
the frauds perpetrated in that section
on the Ist ult., says 1.-THE most
shameful and the most disgraceful
frauds ever committed in this State
or out of it, was perpetrated in this
Parish at the Judicial Election held
on the 1st of April, 1861 1t was a
veritable poison d'avril election" The
editor of the Rice Planter affirms that
well-known non-citizens (2) were al
lowed to vote twice and thrice, which
fact can be easily proven.
Five Police Jurors, in this community
will be elected on. the 18th inst.
Besides the two batteries of large
ordnance which will be built at the
English Turn, says the Rice Planter,
| it is understood here that another one
will be erected on the farm of Mr..
Luc Dobard, ut Jesuits' Bend, for the
defence of the river.
The gallant Bienville Guards, at
| Pointe- ala Hache, are now called on
patrol duty every night. This is an
example which should be followed in
other sections of our Parish, for our
| slaves are a little too free.

The VnndaEic Administration.
from the n. O. Picayune.]


We know of no other designation
so appropriate as this for the powers
that be- in Washington, in the present
year of our Lord, the year that will
be noted in history as the one in which
the most powerful Confederacy of
ancient or modern times was DESTROYED
because of the injury and injustice
which one section of it persistently
attempted to inhict upon the other.
1t is now clearly evident that the
turbulent and ferocious elements of
Northern society, and the agrarians,
chatting at being confined to the limits
of the rude North, have long looked
with eager gaze towards the fruitful
fields, the magnificent territory of the
Sunny South, and desired its possess
sion. Their object, it is plain, has
been and is, by the agency of the
Washington Government, to carry out
their unhallowed designs - designs
utterly at variance with well regulated
liberty, with civilization, and with
religion. The Black Republican orga-
nization being formed, the Abolitionists
gave it their support, and the combined
party, still seeking strength, soon found
it in an alliance with the men we have
spoken of, who, seeing their chancafor
Selling the reins of power, eagerly
awaited themselves of it. Thus, was
formed the party which is now repres-
ented by the Washington Government.
The Chicago platform was Vandalic
in conception, construction and design.
Lincoln, who was carried into power
upon it, has fully proved that, so far
as intentions go, he is the worthy chief
of the Vandal horde. His associates
in the Government, by their participa-
ton in or assent to all his Nandalic do
ings. and those of subordinates, are
evidently willing instruments, worthy
of the confidence reposed in them by
him, and those on whose support he
mainly relies-and who expect him to
carry out their heIlish designs.
There is abundant evidence, from
the appointment of Carl Schurz to the

Ghe Confederate ARMY.

IL ioih eio 1siouihohu lIuuulrcT, Apfu gal
The hope of the enemy is that some
time will be necessary to organize and
render efficient the forces that have
been raised in Virginia and the other
southern states, for the present emer-
gency. They have rushed forward to-
their country's standard at moments
warming, the most of them without any
experience in the battle field, and many
of them without even the advantage of
the militia drill with which the peace
soldier is familiar. So say our north
ern enemies. They should not deceive
themselves. No people in the world
are SO accustomed to the use of the
implements of war as the men of the
south and the southwest. No people
on the face of the earth are SO
much to be feared in hand to hand con-
ficts, both bayonet, small sword or
bowie-knife, as the defenders of the
flag of the Southern Confederacy.
The Yankees know all this, and at heart
fully realize (no matter what they may
say tile magnitude of the danger which
they incur going into war of INVASION
of the south.
The want of organization and discip-
line will doubtless be felt for a time in
the Confederate army but for short
time only. The forces of South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Florida have been
for some time in the field, and are now
fully arrayed for battle. The forces
from Virginia, North Carolina, and the
other border slave state, which have
been raised by the first blast of the
bugle, are composed of the best
material, and will be ready for effective
service in a very few days. They will
have the advantage of the best military
instruction that can be had upon this
continent; q number of the most skill
fnl and efficient officers of the late
United States army being now actively
enga aged in our service. Lieut. General
Scott is reported to have said that he
would rather have received the resigna-
ton of every general officer than Col.
Lee-now Gen. Lee, commander of the
volunteers, of Virginia. Besides Gen.
Johnston, Gen. j. B. Magruder, Col.
Ruggles, Capt. Carr, Capt. Maury and
others, all eminently distin guished for
former service under the Government
of the United States.
The army of the north has no advant-
age over the Confederate troops ON
the score of service or discipline. The
former is composed chiefly of raw re-
cruits, the most of whom are but little
skilled in the use of the weapons which
the southerners handle with such fear
full deXterity and effect.
