PARISH OF PoISrE CoarPEsE, Sept. %, 1861:
Maj. p. A. Roy:
Dear Sr-In view of the proclamation Of the
Governor, declaring the Office of Senator, recent.
" filed by Hon. E. Phillips, vacated BIZ virtue OF
his commission in the army of the Confederate
States, the duty devolvcs upon the district com
posed of the parishes of PoiHte Coupcc. Avoyellcs
and West FeIiciana to select a successor in the
approaching Legislature. 848e
The Importance of wise legislation in the next
session. cannot be over estimated by the citizens
Of Louisiana. Men of character, men of position.
and men who, are willing un1 ready to cast their
all with the fortunes of the Confederate States
destiny, are now the men to whom Pointe Coupee
and the district should look, regardless of all
previous political associations.
No one can doubt for a moment, but that the
next will be, beyond all question, the most i'm
portant Legislature which has for years assembled
in Louisiana. Interests are and will be at stake,
ing the privileges of the elective franchise, to
guard with most scrupulous vigilance. Especial
" will 1t be, incumbent upon ns to guard well
the country and planting interest. We cannot
for q moment-d0nbt that with weak or inefficient
men to represent lis, calamities might follow
from which it would require years of toll. labor
and heavy taxation to extricate us. It is. then,
manhestly our duty and interest, to select men Of
fitness for high position. ss.ag
It will, beyond all controversy, be accorded to
Pointe Coupec to select the candidate TO GIL the
vacancy of Hon. E. Phillips in the Senate; and
as one eminently qualified. who has already filed
important posts in this State and Arkansas. we
would unhesitatingly recommend to the voters of
the district the name of Col. s. w. .MCnSEELY

BARON RosGE. Sept. 90. Is

G BATON ROYCE, sept. 70. lo"i.
Editor Deaaocrn-There are now five con,pa.
MES Of SCOTS cavalry regiment here. under COM
mand of Capts. Keep, Taylor, Williams, Leake
and Scntt, Of East Feffciana. The Barracks
were found announcement for the recommendation
of cavalry, and the several companies have in
consequence ~encamped near to. and back Of the
Pcnitentiary. in the woods where the Pointc
Coupec Artillery remained several weeks. They
are not so we'll provided for with food and pro-
+, sender as they ought to be, and wafer for horses
is rather difficult Of access. 1t is probable their
stay will be short, and that in a few days they
will be ON their way TO the seat of wal.
The present condition of affairs along the Dor
ders is rather perplexing. The attitude of Ken
lucky il dep,orable and huniliating: the scenes
Of TIE dark and bloody ground are to be re-
enacted, but in a. ten-fold more intense degree.
The hatred and vengeance of the white man ard
savage in deadly conflict, will be mild in COM
parison with that arising in the present contest
between father and son, brother and brother. and
kindred of every degree. And all this has been
brought about by her political demagogucs; for
as in rich soil the rankest weeds do grow, SO
with favored Kentucky. Whilst she has pro-
duced some few eminent men, she has had her
full share Of another sort, and among the noah
rst OF them Abraham Lincoln takes the owest
grade, whilst Jefferson Davis must forever rank
second to none but George Washington.
President Davis was born in Christian county,
KY. June 3. 1908; Lincoln in Hardis county,
February IL. 1909. The latter ut an early age
moved to the Indiana Territory, the former to
the Mississippi Territory. Davis, after receiving
an education at the University Of Transylrania
in his native State. was appointed a Cadet to
West Point, where ne - % il 1873 In the
mean time, what was the lotsrr i resident doing !
Why. keeping a Hoosier grog-slsop, and dealing
out rot-gut whisky at two cents a glass.s This is
a fact that even his Abolition b~iograpler admits,
but attempts to gloss over. Could / remember
the lines, that original. quotation Of. just as the
twis is bent" etc, might come in here.
Such were the schools in which. the two Prest
dents received their education, and now the world
has a chance Of seeing them carry out the princi
pies therein incaIcated. Those of Lincoln have
been extensively exhibited, by the murder and
Imprisonment Of innocent women and children.
and of citizens the most eminent for virtue and
patriotism. The. people of the Southern States
will show their appreciation Of Davis. by their
vote in November next. By the way,
the electoral ticket in the Delta of Tuesday last.
appears to be an impartial one, and will give
general satisfaction.
Your old parishioner Emile Eacte is here. as
LIST Lieutenant Of. the Rapidcs Rangers; he is in
fine health, and makes a splendid looking officer.

The Catholic Church,

The late historian, Macauley, sums up
the history, progress and present condi
ton of the Catholic Church, in the follow
ing terse and expressive language
There is not, ard there never was on
this earth work of human policy SO well
deserving of examination as the Roman
Catholic Church. The history Of tlat
Church joins together the two great ages
of human civilization. No other insitu-
tiou is left standing which carries the mind
back to the times when the smoke Of sacri,
fees rose from the Pantheon, aud when
cameeoparlS and tigers bounded in the
F.ayian ampitheatre. The prou4est royal
houses are but Of yesterday when compa,
red with the line Of Supreme Pon'itf>.-
series from the Pope who crowned Napo-
leon in tde nineteenth century, to the Pope
who crowned Pepin ip the eighth; and far
beyond The time of Pepin the august dyn,
asty extends till it is lost in the twilight
of fable The Republic of Venice came
next in antiquity But the Republic OF
Venice was modern when compared with
the Papacy and the Republic of Venice
is gone, and the Papscy remained The
PaFacy remains, not in delay, not in a
mere antique, but full Of life and youthful
vgor. The Catholic Church is still send
ing forth to the furthest ends Of the world
missionaries as Jealous as those who land
ed in Kent aud Augustn, and still con
froDted Atlla The number Of her cLil.

Her acquisitions in the New Word have
more than compensated 70. what she
lost in the Old. Her spiritual ascerdencv
extends over the vast countries which lie
between the plains of Missouri and Cape
Horn, countries which, century hence.
may not jmprobaby contain a population
as large as that which now inhabits Eu
rope. The members Of her communion
are not fewer than a hundred and fiftv
millions and it will be difficult to show
that all other Christian sects united
amount to hundred and twenty mil
lions. Nor do we see any sign which iu>
dicates that the term Of her long dominion
IS approaching. y

A Truthful Reply.

The Madison Journal, the official organ
of the Republican party at Madison, re-
Gently said:
The Republican party still lives
to which the Milwaukee News made the
following truthful reply:
Yes, it lives,-but we have civil war,
broken Union, an enormous public debt,
direct tax, an oppressive tariff, an empty
treasury, a deserted capitol. The grave of
Washington is in hostile land. Half a
million men in arms maintain the Presi
dent in his seat. A thousand battle fields
drink the blood of our country's children
The deep trenches are filing up with the
bodies Of our fairesC sons. The nation
awakes each day to the boom of hostile
guns. The glittering hayonets of regiments
Of men are passing along the streets to
the murderous work of the battle field. =
The people rise in the morning, and lie
down at night amid scenes of mortal strife.
The newspaper columns throng with the
slekeniDg details of murder and DEATH
The old gorgeous banner of the Union
with its cheerful blazonry, once the radiant
emblem OF greatness, progress, unity, and
power, droops amid the sm oke of the con
flict-its glory paled, many stars stricken
out Prisons full; grainields barren !;
homes 10 mourning; husbandmen turned
soldiers the plow idle in the furrow
great ships rotting at the wharves of our
cities grass growing in places where busy
feet were wont to tread !; the avenues of
trade locked up; the voice of humanity
stifled ia the din of the deathly work of
fighting men the family circle torn ssun-
der in hostile groups 4; free speech restrain
ed free press hampered the writ OF
right suspended; the civil law Superseded
a military rule existing, and its permanent
establishment threatened, predicted and
probable-NUs is REPUBLIC1NISN
IN its fill truition! ! all this the bitter fruit
of Republicanism noG yet dead For the
sake of country, people and the world, and
for the cause of Liberty and union, wout
