excavation is progressing to such an
alarming extent that gigantic trees
have sunk and disappeared IN the
chasm to be seen no more. But
stranger sir, than all this, is the fact
that the Legislature is requested to
put an end to these opposite evils by
stopping the Bayou, and urged thereto
by the declaration that these gentle
men are opposed to outlets, as having
the dangerous tendency to elevate the
bed of the river, and that but few
days since, these same gentlemen were
unanimous in their support OF the Bln
presented by the gentleman IRON the
Parish of Plaquemine, dskaag mat an
outlet from the Mississippi river to the
Gulf be made, below the city OF New
Orleans, to relieve the r1rer Of ats surplus
aoaters. 1 shall say no more, merely
asking if the causes given to warrant
the passage of this Bill, strengthen or
weaken one another? Many gentlemen
upon this floor do not feel directly
interested in this question---should
they still hesitate on the decision
they are to give, should they still be
undecided as to which side they will
incline the balance? / shall ask them
to act in conformity with the feeling
in obedience to which they sit upon this
floor-the wishes of the majority
interested. To you gentlemen OF
Southern Louisiana, who sit enthroned
on your hill-tops, secure from driving
food, will say, lend not deaf ear to
our supplications, when we pray you
not to hurl this now almost resistless
stream upon our country-swelled and
| rendered more terrible still by the mass
of waters that now escape through this
outlet; for visitations, equally disastrous
may aflict you-disease may sweep
away your focks, storm and tempest
may ravage your harvests, ralnless
skies and burning suns may blight II
the bud the crop from which you draw
| your sustenance, and when you come
| here, as but a few days since, asking
| for bread for starving people, ana
| similar, perhaps, still louder cr goes
| up from the other side of this Capitol
| ask yourselves if the granaries ofiber
vile will be opened to your wants.
Mr.. w. was successfully FOLLOWED
by several Members, for and agains
the measure. After which the vot'
on the engrossment of the Bill wa

the Speaker voted no, thereby killing

PLAaUEMIsE BAYOU BILL

PLAaUEMsE BAYOU BILL:
In the House on the 18th instant,
Mr.. Dupuy submitted the following:
An act to authorize the Police Jury
Of the parish of Iberville to place pail
sades across the mouth of Bayou Pla-
quemine for the purpose of stopping
drift.
Mr.. Gray offered an amendment to
the effect that the Police Jury of any
parish, whose citizens usually transport
their produce to market down Red
River, shall be likewise empowered to
close the Atchafalaya whenever, in
their opinion, the navigation of the
river is about to be lost.
The amendment was adopted by A
yeas to 10 nays, notwithstanding the
strenuous opposition of friends of the
original bill.
"A further amendment, offeredby Mr..
Bradley, that whenever the Police
Jury of any parish below the mouth of
Bayou Plaquemine, shall request it.,
the Police Jury of Iberville shall re-
move said palisades, was lost by vote
of 80 to 81.
The bill, as amended, then came up
for action on its second reading; upon
which tbs Hon. E. Waggaman, Member
from this Parish, delivered the following
eloquent and spirited remarks to the
House, in opposition to tho Bill.
MIR. SPEAKER-Itw was my impression
that this question had been fully and
fairly discussed on this floor day
before yesterday, when, after debate
of three hours, it was submitted to the
House for its decision. Why is it again
brought up? Has any just cause ope-
rated since then to change the opinion
then expressed, or have the friends of
the Bill a right to hope for this change
rs the Just reward of their increasing
efforts to influence your action in this
matter during the last two days, outside
of the House stand here now sir,
the opponent of the Bill, calling at this
moment, no man upon this floor friend,
but calling upon you all as Legislators,
Iadiure YOU to lay aside all feeling for
the individual, whether he be friendly
or hostile to the measure, and to pro-
nounCo upon its merits alone, as they
are made to appear here before you.
What is the nature of the arguments
that have been given here to cntitlo it
to the tuVOraDlo consideration OF TINS
House? The gentleman from St.
Mary's has made moving picture of
the dcsolation caused in his portion
of country by the waters flowing
through this Bayou. He has shown US
crops swept away, cattle carried off,
and families driven to their house-tops
by inmdation; and this sir, is repre-
scented as occurring in the Parish of
St. Mary. st. Mary, VIGOROUSLY one of
tho highest portions of the country.
Now sir, | would ask the gentleman
how this is borne out by the advertise
meats in the public prints describing
property for sale in that section, Us
being entirely above overflow. This
inconsistency is not the only one sir,
you are called upon to observe. One
of the gentlemen, stated in the course
of debate that the alluvial deposits in
the channel were so considerable as to
form banks rising up to height Of
eight or ten feet, and he is succeeded
Ivy another friend of the measure who
positively declares that the process Of

CoLLision--The Lafourche Union OF
the 10th gives the particulars OF the
collision between the steamers Blue
Bird, and Music, already briefly alluded
to:
On Thursday morning the Blue Bird,
the mail packet plying between Don
jacksonville and Lafourche crossing,
was run into by the steamer Music, and
sunk on the spot. The circumstances
under which the diaster occurred show
that the officers of the Blue Bird were
blameable for negligence. Its to be
hoped that this accident may operate
as warning to that class of people who'
for the sake of the pecuniary advantage
of paying q small salary, consent to
the employment of incautious and IN
skillful persons to manage and navigate
their boats. There was no insurance
on the Blue Bird. RI Fw .

Murder.-Our town was startleds1n
Thursday morning by the report1that
DIR. A. A. Williamson, of Assamp-
ton, had been murdered the evening
previous, at eight o'clock, by two OF
his brothers-in-law. The facts of this
atrocious homicide, as furnished to US,
are as follows: 1t seems that at the
hour named DR.. Williamson was quiet
ly proceeding to his home, when, as he
was driving his buggy throughthe gate
of his front-yard, his horse was stopped
by one of his brotherssia-law, while the
other came up, drew a revolver, and
deliberately shot DIR, Williamson. The
examination showed that the desceased
had received three mortal wounds. An
old family quarrel is alleged to be at
the bottom of this tragiel affair. Chs
perpetrators of the crime are now con.
fined in the Jail atM oleonville inthe
parish of Assumption. AZ

The COMMITTEES of Ways and Means is about to
introduce in the House a bill providing
for raising thirty millions of dollars by
direct taxation. This MEASURE is in &C.
cordance with the late Recommendation
of the Secretary Of the Treasury The amour
will beapportioned among all the States, as in the
contemplation of the Government all of them are
still in the Union. Under this apportionment
Maryland will be called upon to pay $685., 235.--
This sum is to be collected directly fron the
people, and large as it is, it is light burlher
compared with the amount which they will BIZ
forced to contribute indirectly towards the expen.
ses of this war But as some eight millions of thi:
tax Is to be assessed upon the seeded States it can
only be collected when the Government shall have
reduced the South to subsection, and should it fail
IN so doing, the amount which it will be thus
unable TO collect must be made up by those States
which remain under Mr.. LINCoLNs jurisdiction
If, therefore, in spite of the efforts of the Admins
tration the South should succeed in maintaining
Its independence, and Maryland should be forced
to remain member of the Northern Confederacv.
we shall be saddled with an immense daht
compelled to meet obligations which we wouId
never have voluntarily incurred, and forced to
pay for a war which was begun without the con-
sent OF the representatives of the people, and in o.
position to the wishes of the citizens of this State
Thus the blind policy of the Administration threat
ems to give the finishing blow to the Union. and
to bring Maryland also to the verge of ruin.
