The Gazette & Goltet

1t affords us unfeigned pleasure to
notice the prominent stand which our
young Baton Rouge friend, ALEX.
DALsHEIMER, has taken in New Or
leans, as an orator and member Of
the legal profession. Few young
men of his age, have attained by one
bold leap as it were, position SO
enviable. Our city may well be
proud of him, seeing that he pos
sesses talents of sohigh an order and
knows SO well how to apply them.
On late occasion Of laying the
cornerstone for a new synagogue in
New Orleans, styled the "Gates Of
rayer," Mr.. DALsHEIMER was pres
ent by appointment to lend eclat to
the ceremonies by his eloquence.
The papers of that city make special
mention of his happy effort-tbe
Times speaking of it as follows:
Then came the great feature Of
the occasion, the orator, MIR. ALEX.
DALsHEIMER. He. drew distinc-
ton between the state of the country
past and present, and showed the
predictions of the Israelites to in
augurate at all times the best and
highest sentiments of morality, love
and religion. Their motives for pre-
serving intact their mysterious unity
and brotherhood was the conscious
ness of an inevitable destiny, marked
out for them by thousand prece-
dents, and by the unbroken chain of
events, as set forth in their won.
derful history. The mission of the
Israelites upon earth is to prove
to mankind the ultimate reward
of unwavering faith in the Al.
mighty. He pointed out the differ
ent periods in which Israelites had
ranked their representatives among
the mightiest and honored Of earth,
and said that 'Israel's past" was the
proudest legacy that Israelites could
claim. We could wish that space
would permit us to give the Grafton
in length, or even detail. as it was
one Of the greatest we ever heard
on such, or even any occasion. Mr..
DALsHEIMER is an orator of no small
abilities, and his Grafton was appre.
ciated by frequent outbursts Of we'll
merited applause. Bouquet after bou-
quet was showered upon him, and
we almost envied the rising popu-
larity which we are sure yesterdays
Iabors will acquire for him, On the
whole, Our Jewish fellow citizens
may congratulate themselves upon
the great occasion of the laying the
cornerstone of the Coates of Prayer"
THE JACKSON RAILRoAD.-The
promised speedy re-opening Of this
great road throughout its whole ex-
tent has given much satisfaction to
our community. The mission Of the
President, Col. Shackelford, to this
city has been literally responded to,
and the forces necessary to rebuild
the bridges and make other neces-
sary repairs have gone forward.
Our money men, however. must not
rest content with well doing; in these
times we must all put our shoulders
to the wheel and do all We can. Fur
fher contributions, even to the extent
of our means, must be made to put
our great works of internal improve
ments in order again, and these we
must make cheerfully. They are for
the benefit of our city and other
neighboring commercial communities
and we must not grow weary or do
anything grudgingly. Already we
are in receipt Of considerable cotton
by the Great Northern Road, and we
expect more daily. And then will it
mot be happy return to the good
DAYS of old TO have through con.
nection with all theNNorth and Westl
