The ToMBoLA.-We are pleased to see
that our patriotic planters are contributing
literally to the Baton Rouge Tombola. By
the way, talking of the tombola, the idea
suggets itself that if the prizes were sold at
public auction, a much larger sum would be
be realized than by the sale of tickets
Notwithstanding the many valuable prizes
now in possession of the committee, new adj
ditions are daily pouring in. If they con-
tinue at the present rate, we rather think the
Baton Rouge tombola will soon be ahead Of
the similar great affair in New Orleans. The
drawing will take place on the 18Th inst.

son and slidell have been given up by
the Lincoln government. They have
backed down-eaten their own words
and actions and newsstand before the
world in . most cowardly, disgraceful

nous, contemplate wretches, is an igno-
miny that even Southerners must feel.
