The Rapides Constitutional of Saturday last has
the following
On Sunday night last this place was visited by a
severe storm which blew down the fine Market
House lately erected in city, and otherwise
damaging property all over the parish to a consid-
cradle amount. On the same hight the building
in the pine woods known as Parkers Institute, and
at the time occupied by J. S: Calhoun, Esq, as Il
manufactory for negro clothing, struck by
lightning and destroyed by fire. By this disaster
we learn that Elr. Calhoun susans a great loss.
The weather since the storm has been Characters
tic of high winds, but at present it is greatly
modified and has become quite pleasant.
The news of the surrender of Fort Sumter by
Major Anderson was received in this city with in
tense delight
The Claiborne Advocate of the 18th says:
We are told that the wheat rye and oat crops of
this parish, from present prospects, promise an
abundant harvest.
The Lafourche Union of Saturday last says:
The cane and corn crop looks exceedingly well
in this section of country, and by their living green
and thrifty appearance promise an abundant yield
and harvest. The weather continues mild and
pleasant.

LADIES FOR PENSACOLA,


We stated, a day Or two since that Mrs. A. E.
Nicholson and five other ladies had gone to Pensa-
cola to act as nurses for the sick and wounded. We
the ladies had gone. They leave this week posi-
lively, we think on Saturday, and expect to be
there in good time for their benevolent purposes.
And while mentioning these facts, we may say that
we saw and read in the hands of Mrs N, very
high testimonial to her character and efficiency,
signed by some OF our most distinguished physi-
clans. And another thing may not be out of place
here, Mrs. Nicholson, and the ladies accompany
ing her, are not rich, but in moderate circumstan-
ces only. They have purchased quite quantity
OF things necessary for their vocation and have eX
pended their own money. Would it not be well
tor our citizens to aid them, in some manner or
other. There is no way to better show the public
interest for our brave boys at Pensacola than to
look to their care and comfort in the dark hour
that may soon be upon them. We will endeavor
to give the residence of Mrs. N. to morrow, who
will then, most probably, be visited by numbers
of our patriotic ladies.

everything passed off finely. We heard Mrs. Pit
mans and Miss NJ. Rapier's classes highly compli-

branches of study. The manner in which the
young ladies acquitted themselves in French also
called fnrt the iargcs praise for that accomplished
aud industrious teacher, Mime Turgeau. The visit
or+, as well as the superintendent, were satisfied
with all they heard, and accord to the school the

Since they make such an Internal fuss at the
North about the Southern flag, whenever it is
shown, corresponding excitement is growing up
in the South.
Yesterday morning, the Captain Of a vessel lying
IN the Second District hOisted the old stars and
stripes. An excited mob speedily collected, and
the sh p would have been boarded but for the in
terventiOn of the police.
The end of the matter was, that the Mayor sent
request to the Captain to take the flag down, and
the request was complied with The vessel might
otherwise have been mObbed, despite the police.

The Northern journals persist in charging Jeffer-

These mendacious editors know that Jefferson
Davis never was member of the Mississippi Legis-
