Fourth Volume-New Series,

Our last issue was the first number
OF fourth volume, new series. Three
years slnce--at a time when events
plainly pointed to and earnestly plead
for a union of the South under the De-
mocratic banner" and for which we
had previously contended-the NerriRs
Gazette and the Southern Sentinel were
united under one common Democratic
tag. 1t is not for us to say how we
have filed the position which fortuitv
selected US to fill. 1t is endorsement
enough, so far as duty performed goes.
to know, that our subscription list has
increased nearly a third with new
since the period alluded to, and that our
principles, since then, were universally
triumphant at the polls--and thus will
1t ever be while We keep in view IL
principles and our organization, and
call to the lead and to the management
OF u political affairs. men of the fin
est talents, greatest experience and the
soundest Judgment.
Without egotism, we can say. that at
the period we have referred to we anti
clpated If we did not prophecy a state
OF affairs similar to the present, when
we called upon the South to unite in
one solid phalanx, in Congress and out
OF it," If we would be ready to meet
the storm that would soon be upon us.
The first shock of the storm we appre-
hended, sure enough, has come-and we
can thank God that our people were
prepared to meet it, and that upon the
position they have taken and intend to
hold, by the grace OF God and jeff. Da-
Wis, there is not a voice apart from the
mighty whole. This is the Southern
phalanxo for which we plead three years
since. Break it, dissolve it-ah, what
could--who could?
We can only say that in the future as
IN the past, it viii ever be u pride as
our duty to look to the interests of the
people, and keep them informed of such
matters, as we understand them, which
are associated with their veal or woe
that they may by p~remonition, know
the better how to effect the first and
avoid the latter.
In fine, to be worthy of the approba-
ton and support of those who have pa.
tronlzed us for so many years, will ever
be the pride and ambition of our decli.

Organizing the Militia.

The organization Of the Militia Of the
State seems an imperative matter at the
present time and we are happy to
learn that those who have the matter
in charge, intend to proceed with all
due energy in bringing out the full
force Of each parish. We learn that
lberville will muster nearly "a thousand,
a large portion of whom can hit the eye

The Baton Rouge Adrocate, thus alludes
to this subject :
Our Legislature is in session, and in
view of the dangers which threaten us
after the 4th of March, we would ear
nestly urge upon that body the immedi-
ate passage of a bill for the thorough
and complete organization and arming
of the militia of the state. 1t is upon
this power at last that all Governments
depend for their defense in times Of
peril, and never was a commonwealth
more fortunate in the possession of
brave and patriotic SONS than those who
form the volunteer corps of Louisiana.
Let the constituted authorities supply
the people with arm at once-give
them a law for an efficient organization

a Good Joke.

Mr.. Sherwood Clemens, Of Virginia,
who has Just been elected to the Virgil
MIA Convention, by the votes Of the
Black Republicans Of the city of Wheel
ing, recently madea speech in Congress
in opposition to secession, which was
much a~pplauded and widely circulated
by his Black Republican admirers. In
order to strengthen his argument and
to show his interest in slavery, he said,
in tue course of his remarks, that his
children owned, on a bayou of the Mis-
sissippi. half as many slaves as are
contained in the eleven COMMITTEES coTpO-
sing his Congressional District. The
truth of the matter is, Mr.. Clemens
married, Il few years since, a widow
lady in the Northern part Of this State,
whose children, by a former husband,
have a plantation and a number of
slaves (; and it is these children and
these slaves on which he relies to es-
tahiish his claims to souudneSS on the
negro question. OF course he is no
more related to my children" as he
calls them, than those of Brigham
Young, nor has he any direct interest
in their property. On the contrary, all
his political prospects depend upon con
cilia!ing the frec-sDilers in his Congress
sinnal District, and recommending him
self to the favor of the incoming Black
Republican administration.
