vention in that State, to present petition to
the President for the pardon of JEFF Davis, has

Judge Wardlow and NJ. Dakings The first
named was the second Postmaster at Charles
ton ever appointed, and continued in Office un-
til the secession of his State.

the canvass for U. S. Senator is exceedingly
lively, and that the prospect for the election Of
Gov. Perry is unfavorable. His universal
statement that the parish system fostered and
encouraged secession and committed many
other political signs, has gained the strong op-
position of the parishes, and their citizens uni
tedly oppose Gov. Perry for Senator
