The Avoyelles pelican. [volume] (Marksville [La.]) 1859-186?, 1863-01-03

We extract the following from a lead
er in the L. Democrat of the 18th.
Speaking Of Legislative Benefits our
able contemporary says:
One necessary act was performed uu-
der pressure of present exigencies Which
is likely to have permanent effect. The
Constitution provides that the Seat Of
Government shalt be and remain at Ba-
ton Rouge unless changed by. three
tourths of the General Assembly. The
Constitutional majority was obtained
and Shreveport is selected by the Lcgis-
lature as the Capital. If so remote a
town had been selected by any other au-
thor:ty, how irate would the pe,ipatetic
grumblers and perjured evaders of Con-
scription have become! 1t is not likely
however that Shreveport will remain t7,e
Capital longer chain the war. The State
House having been burned a few DAYS
ago, no inducements viii exist to consti-
tute Baton Rouge the Capital anew, and
it will therefore no doubt be fixed at
New Orleans, from which City it should
never have been removed.
The regular session Of the Legislature
is also changed. By the Constitution it
Is fixed at the Sd, Monday in January
unless a different day be selected by
law. The lawmakers have now fixed first
Monday in May, and the Second Session
Of the Twenty-Seventh Legislature will
therefore be held at that time. Although
this period may not remain as permanent
no one will propose to return to the pre-
vious one. The session should commence
Oh the LIST Monday in January or short
~ previous thereto. The Governor should
be %inaugurated at the beginning Of the
year and the Legislature should be in
session to witness the ceremony. At pre-
sent that body meets, the Committees are
appointed, and one week elapses, when
the whole Government changes-a new
presiding officer comes in for the Senate
and a new Governor announces a policy
IN an inaugural, whichperchance is direct
~ opposite to that recommended the
previous week by his predecessor. This
is a part, and a sample Of the endless
confusion and lick ofsystematic arrange
ment, prevalent in all our Constitutional
details.

From THE BATTERY BoYs.-A lato let
ter received from the Second Minnesota
Battery states that they are still in the
place occupied for the past six months,
near Murfreesboro.. D. w. Co1thard, who
was some time since in hospital and net
expected to recover, is again III camp per.
forming regular duties. AL. Gowdy has
charge Of hospital affairs, and mixes up
pills by the peck. Rioh'd Bloomfield is
we'll and with the Battery, as are the 9TH
ers from this place. - -.
NEW ADvERr1sEMENTs.-Mr. 8. r..
Foot announces to the people OF this Vi
cinity that he has his fruit aud ice-cream
saloon furnished and in readiness for GUS
toners. Mr.. F.'s establishment is in a
convenient place, his stock of articles of
the choicest kind, and all who call upon
him can depend upon gentlemanly atten.
ton. We bespeak for him liberal pat
ronage.
Mr.. l.. b. Silsby has removed to his
new livery stable, where he has fine
stock of horses, carriages and buggies,
and is prepared to furnish teams on short
notice.
REruRNED.-On Thursday evening last
Sheriff Grandelmycr and Mr.. Silsby re-
turned with Ben. Franklin; whose exploits
We gave brief account of last week.
Benjamin denied all idea Of stealing the
horses, SAID he had been overpersuaded
by the "damseP' who accompanied him
(and whose age, by the way, instead of
being l6, as was stated last week, would
be nearer expressed by reversing the fig
ures) into taking the team to St. Paul.
AS this story was corroborated by the fe:
male in question, and Benjamin promised
better things, Mr.. silsby concluded hot
to prosecute, but to take him into his en-
ploy and allow him in this way to pay for
the damage done one horse.

The Mississippi river is said to be
lower at St. Paul now than ever before
known-the depth of water in the chan
mel from that city to Hastings averaging
but from fifteen to twenty inches. Only
very ligbt-draught boats are able to navi-
gate.
The plan Of having the NJ. F. & G.
V. R. r. cross the Mississippi at Fort
Smelling by means Of a lofty bridge over
100 feet high, at an estimated cost Of
100000, has been substituted by one
for constructing tunnel 1000 feet in
length-through the soft, white sand
stone stratum which underlies the plateau
on which Fort Smelling stands. The
crossing will be a short distance above
the terry. So says the Press:
