CuR1ous.-We have recently heard
from several sources, that Northern men
have approached the holders of slaves with
the offer of five dollars for each slave
lost by emancipation. What does this
mean ?-Richmond Wing.
1t means that if the Radical hangcrs-on
can get claims enough of this character
to realize large fortunes personally, and
secure influence politically, ways and
means will not be wanting to get a bill
indemnifying Shareholders for their ne.
grocs through Congress. Just as easy
as the seven million bill for the Frecdmen's
Bureau.

1l Another week Of hot, dry, sultry
weather, which has caused a great de-
mand for cooling and other refreshing Ii
guilds has passed over us. Tired and
thirsty human nature, without distinction
of color, seem as if the simoom of the des-
ert had passed over them, all painting for
the fresh and invigorating springs of cool
ing water. Clouds of dust rise in the
air as each passenger, propelled by bust
ness or pleasure passes our door, until
we wonder what has become of the mag.
n;6cent mud-puddles that were wont to
delight our porcine inhabitants. Never
have We felt the heat SO intense as it is
now. Not a breath of air enliyens the
oyercharged atmosphere--not a cloud
f~oreshadows a drop Of rain, but then, as
a consolation, we have observed as
much mud in dry and dusty weather as
there is after a long, rainy spell

MARYiASD.-Forney, in Il late letter
regards Maryland as gone from the Rad.
Gals. That delectable individual says:
1t is not to be doubted that, through
the sinister influence of Montgomery
Blair, Governor Swan will appoint CON-
missioners under the registry laws. who
will enroll the names of returned rebels
in the different counties. All hopes Of q
different result are given up, and now the
tried aud trusty patriots who 1attsred
themselves that Maryland was whollyse
cured to the Union are preparing for
desperate struggle in November. Train
ed, as their enemies are. 10 Discrimination,
and accustomed to all the arts employed
to drag Maryland out Of the Union, anet
fort will be made to put the radicals Of
Mafyland in the wrong-to force to
tconfict-if possible a conflict of arms
and thus to furnish a pretext to fulfill tie
last prophecy of Montgomery Blair and
other teachers. In other words, if the
Unionists of Maryland resist the attempt
of the returned rebels to overawe aud
overwhelm them at the polls, then An
drew johnson will be called upon to de-
clare martial law--to intercede by the
army, to give the rights Of suffrage 70
the enemies Of the country, and put down
the brave spirits who saved Maryland
from the fate of Virginia and South
Carolina. You will observe that moth
ing has recently proceeded from the White
House inconsistent with his sequel. And
should it transpire you can go back 70
Andrew Johnson's 22d of February
speech to find the resources. From thai
period to the present, every step nos
been a usurpation, q new betrayal and
new prescription, you may anticipate
the same attempt upon Missouri ; but 10
the latter State l think treason and It's
red handed myrmidons will probably re-
ceive a warmer welcome than that which
awaits them in Maryland.

~ Last week through the whimsical.
ity of our "roller," the Baton Rouge
edition of the Planter, made a very
bad appearance, for which we tender our
sincere regrets. Accidents have ever
happened since old mother Eve made a
granny Of herself by fooling Adam with
an apple-a fruit which has since been one
of discord to the human family.

The rumors which fly thick and fast
through the streets, of riots and upris-
ings in and around New Orleans, says the
Times are all unfounded, and the offspring
Of heated imagination-so we are inform
ed by the Chief of Police. Mr.. Adams
also states that he keeps his police force
we'll in hand to be used effectively in case
of any sudden emergency. He thinks, as
did Lieut.. Gov. VOORHEES, on the 3Oth ult.,
when applied to Gen. Baird for military
assistance, that prevention is better than
cure.
