President Davis and Gen. Beauregard, secession
flags or rosettes and everything else that squints
at treason.' A man cannot dress in the coors
that constitute our flag without running risk of
being denuded in the street, or being packed off to

soon wearing one made Of hemp. e We see it stated

favorable to the success of the Confederate cause
We should think the Administration at Washington
would be ashamed ot itself-i indeed, it ia not in
sensible Of shame altogether-for degrading the

than its meanness. As long as mems thoughts are

Such extreme ard silly measures as these are, in

But this sort Of thing is about all that the Lin

What LnCourche Is Doing.

TmnonAUH, September IS, 1sGl.
Ed G'esce,t-The Ladies' Volunteer Aid Asso-
citation of Lafourche just do things the right way.
Having read the call of Gov. Moore on the good
people of Louisiana to contribute blankets for the
sick and wounded soldiers of the Confederacy in
Virginia, they went Immediately to wark and in
one week collected one hundred and five pairs of
blankets, had them baled so as to bear shipment to
any part Of the Confederacy, and shipped to A. B.
James, ESQ, agent of Gov. Moore. What parish
can beat this? If any let them go to work and
do it; we shall then hear no more about the
scarcity of blankets, but will then have enough
both for sick or well, Heaven bless the noble
hearted and patriotic women of the South. They
certainly deserve to rank side by side with the
illustrious women of '76. The ladies of Lafourche
are now busily engaged in making uniforms, knit
ting socks and neck comforts for the Lafourche
Creoles, a new company, just organized, under
the command of the gallant Hon. Louis Bush, and a
corps Of as chivalrous set of officers as ever
drew a sword. The ladies of this parish have also
volunteered to assist the ladies Of New Orleans in
making clothing for their soldiers. So it may be
seen that Lafourche is not selfish but that her
daughters are willing to make common cause with
their sisters of the whole State. May they reap for
their reward the independence of their Sunny
South, peace, plenty and happy future. NJ.

as Union candidate for the office of Sheriff of
that city, and says:
If ii be objected that the Colonel is still prs-
oner in the hands of the enemy at Richmond 1t is
a sufficient answer to say that the men who are
likely to vote for him will be sufficient in number
to rescue him from his captivity, even # he should
not be released before the time Of election.

OF the remaifing prisoners to more Southern

is now in your hands. If wrong is done, blame
will attach to all. Then let it be the duty of all to
restrain the vicious. Let not the laurels so nobly

Since FIRST beneath the CHESTNUT trees
In infancy we played
But coldness dweIls within thy heart,
A cloud Is on thy brow;
We have been ir,euds together
Shall light word pass US now!
We have been gay toge her
We have laughed al liule lests,
For the ionnt o. hope was gushing
Warm and joyous in our breasts.
Bur laughter now has fed thy hp,
And sullen giooms thy brow;
We have beeu CAV together
Shall light word pass Us now!
We have heea sal together;
We have ~ept with bier tears,
Ger The grass srown2raves where slumbeted

The voices which were silent there
Would hid Ihee clear Thy brow;

Admirers Of Jackson.

To Democrat who is old enough TO re-
member what lranspired during the admin
istration of Gen JACKSON, il is both amusing
aud provoking to listen 10 the talk of some
OF our Republican friends. Scarcely a Cay
passes without our hearing an old reviler Of
JACKSON assert that if The OLD hero were now
in The Presidential chair, the Southern
States would not dare 10 attempt 10 secede.
This mpimentary reference 10 JAcKsoN is
OF course coupled with depreciatory res
marks concerning Mr.. BucBANAE
Ii is a great pity these old Federalsts
Converted Tito Republicans did not ap
preclaie Gen. JAcKsoN's public services al
the time when they were rendered. In
JACKSON 5 day, they were loud in their abuse
OF him. No epiIhei was too harsh for them
to apply to him. He was military des
pot" 'tyrant" and even ''murderer -
They proposed 10 march 10 Washington in
force and encamp around the Capitol and
the White House, and compel JACKSON, al
the point of The bayomet, 10 reverse his
policy. But now, when he is dead, and
Niiiilh iuciO 10 cOibO PoiiIGoi
TO be made ont OF the use of his name, we
hear them wishing JACKSON was President
again ~
As JACKSON did not please these old Fed
eralisls when he was President, we very
much doubt whether he would please them
if he were President now. We are sure he
would not latter down Charleston without
just cause and full authority. He did moi
batter it down when the State of South Car
oina undertook TO do what all other States
in The Union held 10 be uDconsiiIulional-
nullify law OF Congress and certainly he
would pause long before doing il wher
South Carolina is asserting what she claim:
as State right, and what al least fourteen
other States assert to be a right. We refe
