TO OURPATRONS

The demise of Mr.: P. d'Artlys has
created some trouble about the progress
OF tie "Pelican" for the last two weeks.
This half sheet is so overcrowed with le-
gal notices and other advertisements,
that very brief space is left for our To-
cal or parish news, and the report Of the
late brilliant achievements against Lin
coins troops and war vessels, near the
mouth Of the Mississippi and at the San
ia Rosa island. We are in hopes Of
being able to present the name Of the
hew Editor, next week, when the. paper
will resume its old enlarged size, not
y outstanding the scarcity Of paper. Di
vers interests require Of us such impro-
venlents.

LETTER FROM DONALDSONVILLE.
To the Editor of Aroye1les Pelican

To the Editor Of .Aroyelzes Pelican
You were kind enough to send me a
number Of your journal, containing a
notice of letter of Doctor Russell the
correspondent of the London Times. I
have noto4seen the letter to which refer
ince is made consequently do not know
what it contains. With reference to my
self, Mr.. Russell when he visited the coast
found me with knapsack on and handling
a musket in the ranks of volunteer
company. But what it had to do with
universal suffrage for man who had
been elected by a. large majority to a
State Convention as an opponent Of the
immediate withdrawal Of the State from
the Union, to handle a musket as pri-
vate in the ranks, to defend his home and
freside against incursion from. that
Union, is more than I will undertake to
answer. A regular system of todyism to
an extent rarely seen in any other coun-
try was practised towards Mr.. Russell
for some time after his advent in this
country, and the basest liekspittles have
been those most loud in villifying him
Of late. Many Of them boasting now
of having ':crammed" John Bull for
their private entertainment and pleasure,
now. decry him for repeating, what he
had received on good faith, as it came
from gentlemen holding high social posi-
ton in the community and as a natural
consequence he had right to deem them
worthy Of credence if not Of perfect con-
fdence.-Such question as that of Sc
session or cooperation or union is only a
matter Of history and exists in this Sta
to as historical fact occurring some times
between January and May last. Too
much consequence. was attached to Mr.
Russeps advent and too much attention
shown him with design, and he was
shrewd enough to perceive it: and has
handled US without gloves. (as we mast
fully merited.) His transit was rapid
and brilliant one; he made his Perihelion

elsewhere, has Withdrawn from the field

Before the Society OF Arts in London an able pa
per was recently read, on the important subject Of
the adulteration of food from which We make the
following extracts
my experience shows that on an average the
bread of London is more or less adulterated to the
amount of 81 per cent--by which | mean to say
that if to buy 100 loaves at as many different ba
ars in various parts of the metropolis, should get
about - Of good and genuine bread. Alum is about
the most frequent adulterant Of bread, very few
samples being uBcontalninated with this salt. =
so it seems that most Engiishmen put quantity
Of the valuable metal, aluminium, into their stoin-
schs at every meal.

and here an adulterated sample; the dhIeIelce ~

Persons are continually subjechng them
selves anu their friends TO delays and vexations
by not understanding the rules which govern
the post Office and the mailing of letters. The
following simple facts from Hashrook's Mail
will we trust, prove of service to all such:
When a letter is, by mistake or owing to du-
plicate names, delivered to the wrong person,
it should be Immediately returned to the post
office with a verbal explanation, and not be
dropped into the letter box. If inadvertently
opened by the party taking it from the Office,
the act should be endorsed on the back of the
letter with the name of the opener. The name
of the writer or firm written or printed on the
letter is an advantage in case OF misdirecdon.
When there are good grounds for believing that
letters are opened and read from motives ofcu-
riosIty. complaint should be made in writing to
the chief clerk of the post office, Washington.
A secret plan for the certain detection Of pry-
ing delinquents has been devised If the wri-
ter Of letter wishes it to reach its destination
without being subjected to the rules Of distri-
button requiring it to be re-mailed at distri-
button Office, he has only to write on the out
side, mail direct" and the wrapper will not
be removed until it reaches the Office for which
the letter is designed.
Costly and delicate articles ofjewery or 9th
err vau ables should not be placed in a letter. as
they are liable 10 serious injury in the process
OF stamping.
If a letter is deposited in a post Office, and
the enclosure accidentally omitted, or it be-
comes necessary to alter or add to the contents,
it is much better to write another letter than to
trouble those in the office to look tor the oIigi-
nal one, In large plac, S, especially, a success
ful search for it, even Immediately after its
deposit would consume much valuable time,
and such q request is altogether unreasonable
when the remedy suggested is so simple and
cheap.
On calling or sending for a letter known to
have been advertised, The fact should always
be stated, otherwise only the current letters are
examined.
Legal provision has been made by Congress
by which letters may be sent out Of the mail in
case Of emergency. By the use ofthe govern
ment envelope, with the stamp printed thereon
and constituting a part thereof, letters NAV be
sent, provided the envelope is duly sealed and
addressed with ink, and the date Of the receipt
or transmission Of such letter written or stamp
ed thereon. The use Of such envelope more
than once subjects the oiIender,to a fine offfty
dollars,
