We call the attention Of parents ant
guardians 30 the advert isement Of Nh
chas. S~chiAerstein. announcing the re
opening Of his boarding school fer tn
18th Of next month. We are glad to Sc,
tbat move, taken by this gentleman, VIII
has for SO many years taken a lead il
everything concerning educational inter
est. Circumstances, generaland private
do not, for the present, permit him t.
open it on'its former scale, but we un
derstand his intention is to do SO as soor
as practicable.
Scant as the chances are, and poor the
means to support establishments of edu'
cation, we cannot but feel glad to see
this first step taken towards the organiza.
ton of our home institutions. We would
recommend the same forward movement
in re-ostablishing all our former home
organizations. We notice, with a certain
feeling of pain and almost humiliation,
that our parish, which, in 80 many res
poets has a right, nay, whose duty it is
to be in the lead. should be so backward.
States and parishes-most Of parishes Of
our own State-are organizing on their
old footing why are we mott The
general government, whose object seems
to be to see everything return in it's
former burrows, has confirmed the choice
of the people in installing our governor.
The governor, in his turn. with commend
able speed has appointed ft persons to
all vacant Offices in the parishes. Never
theless, we see not here, as elsewhere in
the State, any steps taken towards a re-
organization of our parish apd town
government. Nothing is in our way but
our own lukewarmness, our incidence.
The general government invites US to
organize its representatives here are
ready to give us all aid and assistance ;
why should we hesitate ? Do we expect the
general government to take charge for
and we do nothing else but look on
We must stir up and meet the good in
of the governments.
The state of our streets, Of our ~leyees,
IF our fields, Of our finances, everything
,alis Iowdly for a firmly established
parish government. Let us join our
efforts and goto work earnestly, zealously
md honestly, till we obtain that object.
We understand that officers are APP
to all the places, and that our
parish and city government could soon
organize ana operate. We beg them to
10 it; and cannot see why they should
,ot. Other parishes are in full operation,
md are now working in order to CO.
towards the work Of general re-
organization all over the country, and at
The same time feel themselves vastly
benefited. 9s
Some persons, We believe, fear some
Kind of interference. What is that we
ask. It is true we have a military au-
and q very kind and wisely man
ICED one ; we can wish no better !; we
loubt whether more Justice, kindness
md polteness could be met with, under
my authority, than under our present
of the place, for instance.
But these gentlemen do mot intend to in
with u home and parish and
affairs. They believe us sense
md capacity enough to do it ourselves,
Ind if they find fault with anything with
it must be the torpid way in which
We have responded 70 their repeated in
7itations.

somewhat allay the excitement.
The letter signed Sam, dated

be made on the Cakinet and Presi-
ldent on the 4th of March, and advi-
lses a postponement of the assassina.

The writer also urges Booth to be
|cnutious as the suspicious of the
Washington authorities had been ex.
! Ecited and that they we're prepared to
sdefeat any attempt of the kind on
] that day.
The author of the letter, in con.
