PERsoNAL.-Our young and gallant
friend, Marcelin Bordelon, a member Of
the Atchafalaya Guards, quartered at
Camp Pelican, in Virginia. has come
home on a furlough, and we are indebted
to him for a file Of late Richmond papers.
That noble boy left camp on the lst inst.
leaving his comrades at arms all well,
with the exception of Tom Rogers and
johnson, that We're expected to die. The
+" Guards" have always been anxious for
a brush, but no prospect for it this win
ter. The brigade will go shortly into
winter quarters.
Marcelin will leave for Virginia on the
goth and take along whatever things
parents, relatives and friends would wish
to send through him to the company.
While passing through Knoxville, he
witnessed the arrestation of that noto-
rious traitor Brownslow, of East Ten
nessee.

also his revolver. Paul Michel was
slightly wounded in the right hand.

OBITUARY.

Died. in Moreauville, on Saturday morning
December l4th Rosa second child of ANA
roLE and CLARIssE Coco, aged years xl,d
three months.
No bitter tears for thee be shed.
Blossom of being seen and gone!
With flowers alone we strew thy led,
0 blest departed one!
Whose all of life, a rosy ray,
Bushed into dawn, and passed away.
Yes thou art fled, ere guilt had power
TO stain thy cherub soul and form,
Closed is the soft ephemeral flower
That never felt storm
The sunbeam's smile, the zephyr'slbreath
All that it knew from birth to death
Thou vert so like form of light,
That heaven beningly called thee hence,
Ere yet the world could breathe one blight
Ger thy sweet Innocence
And thon, that brig hter home to bless,
Art passed. with all thy loveliness.
Oh :! hadst'thou still on earth remained,
Vision of beauty fair as brief
How soon thy brightness had been stained.
With passion or with grief!
Now not sullying breath can rise,
To dim thy glory in the skies.
Thy grave shall be a'blessed shrine,
Adorned with natures brightest wreath,
Each glowing season shall combine
Its incense there to breathe;
And oft, upon the midnight air,
Shall viewless harps be murmuring there.
And oh sometimes in visions blest,
Sweet spirit visit our repose,
And bear from thine own world of rest,
Some balm for human woes.!
What form more lovely could be given
Than thine, to messenger of heaven

will not bear him out successfully, no.
thing else should. Now, inasmuch as a
gentleman may be nominated without
having solicitated it in any way, it
should he wrong under any circumstan-
ces to oppose him simply because his
friends saw proper to call convention
and nominate him. Under all circum-
stances, the efforts of the :" Pelican will
be directed to the support Of honest me
rit against the intrigues of talent OH the
one hand, and pompous pretensions on
the other. | will use its columns to sup
port no man, whatever NAV be his posi-
ton, who does not present in my estlma
ton, clean sheet as to the mode, man
ner and circumstances of his candidacy.
| believe that plain, straightforward
honesty in politics is what our country
stands greatly in need Of, and that upon
a fair test, it will be found to be the best
policy in politics as all experience proves
it to be in the various concerns Of private
life.
What has been said of conventions
applies particularly to parochial matters,
and the rules laid down will be carried
out as far as practicable with reference
TO all OTTER political conventions.
Great pains will be taken to insert in
the "Pelican'' nothing obnoxious to the
objection Of indelicacy, and very effort
will be made to render the paper an ac-
ceptable visitor in every family. The
selections will be made from the world
cf reading matter accessible to me, wit,
as much discrimination and taste as ; am
capable Of exercising. AS | propose
to publish a Journal devoted particularly
to parish matters, of course nothing of
this character will he Omitted, when | am
qualified by knowledge Of them to lay
them before the public. | shall be glad
at all times to receive communications
and contributions from s;!ch as may de-
sire to favor the pubic with the fruits of
their reflections, but. lii every instance, |
will exercise my own discretion AS to
what shall appear in the columns Of the
8 Pelican"
Nothing personal or offensive shall
ever appear in its columns, when such is
known beforehand to be its object, and
its tendency. | do not think that a put
bic journal should be the medium of
venting private spleen, and therefore
will not permit such use t. be made Of
my columns. i reserve the right to
speak of public ,ren and public mea-
sures as | think they deserve and us IA
due surveillance of the general welfare
may prompt. But in doing 50, will
not "set down aug t i'll malice or in
dnlge in expressions calculated to give
otftnse My object shall be to deal
with truth and if men will so act as to
make its exposure disagreeab!e, they
must blame themselves and not me A
journalist should write to benefit society
and not to screen men from public CEN
sure when it becomes necessary to ex-
pose them.
Printing paper being now very scarce,
my readers must put up with a half sheet
until | can DO better.
Having thus marked out the chart by
which | propose to sail, | venture to-
hope that the public will bestov IL
beral patronage in behalf Of the enter
prize and that mutual benefits will grow
out the new relations thus inaugurated
between us.
