july 1866, about naf-past I2 NJ. party of about
one hundred and fifty negroes came NJ, BuY-
gundy street, having flag and headed by Iausio.
They crossed Canal street and went up the con-
tinuation Of Burgundy, called DFyades towards
the Mechanics Institute, on Dryades street AS
this procession crossed Canal street there Tas
some excitement and a stir both in the procession
and in the crowd and among the police There
were several pistols fred by both parties !; does
not know which side fred first. The colored
crowd as they came up were loud, noisy and
boister0us. They were yelling and singing, and
pursuing course calculated to create dis
turbance of the peace. Saw no white persons in
| the cOlOred procession.
About half hour after the procession passed,
went to the rear Of my premises, and from the
| third story had a view through the windows of
Mechanics Institute, in which saw white and
colored persons firing considerable. Numbers
seemed to be engaged in firing. From this posi-
ton had not view of the street in front of Me-
chanics' Institute. Prior to the approach of the
colored procession everything appeared quiet and
| peaceable, there being no excitement whatever
| perceptible to me. From general view of the
appearance of things at the time the procession
crossed Canal street. it appeared to me that the
police and people outside Of the procession were
acting on the defensive entirely, with the object
of preserving the peace. The word appeared;
used above may be construed as implyinga doubt
on my mind, which idea do not intend to convey.

the procession were acting on the defensive and

the persons in the procession or in the crowd out

We learn from an authoritative source that on
the Saturday preceding the riot, which is now a
subject of investigation, white men visited the
plantations of Mr.. Sauve and Mrs. Butler Kenner,
above Carrollton, and endeavored to draw the
freedmen employed there into New Orleans on the
following Monday. The people on Mr.. sauve's
plantation informed him of the proposition, and no
one left the place, but the emmissares succeeded
in seducing eight men from Mrs Kenner Only
two of the eight returned.

PORTLAND.
Monday Morning, January l, 1865.
Speak to the Boys.

Every one who walks the streets of our city
must have often been panied and shocked to
observe the great number of idle BOYS that
lounge at street-corners, and hang about
wharves and railway stations, and are too of
ten seen lurking in dangerous proximity to
the doors of grog-shops and gambling rooms.
Many of these boys are not vicious, but any OBJ
server can perceive that they have got, or are
fast getting vicious slant. Only little more
impulse in that direction is needed to send
them headlong on the road to destruction.-
Look at any one of them. Observe his lazy
swagger, his devil-may-care manner, his face
in which look OF precocious sensulli5m and
impudence is fast supplanting the natural in
nocence of boy-hood, the long rank cigar in
his loose, fast coarsening mouth. and Judge If
the character he Is forming is likely to be an
advantage to himself or society. He despises
school; he is much wiser, bless you, than any
teacher. He SCOTS at parental authority; he
knows the ropes vast deal better than the
governor" He swells with the pride of igno-
rance he glories in his growing familiarity with
what he thinks manly vice. He has no concep-
ton Of the rocks ON which he is drifting. Cam
not something be done for him and the large
class which he represents? Is there not some
one to speak to him ofhis danger? Ere long
it will be too late. When tobacco, bad ale,
and late hours have weakened his nerves and
ruined his health, when vicious indulgencies
have depraved his taste, and profigate associ-
ates have stained his character, when all mol Il
ambition, all capacity for truly manly car er
have yielded to low pursuits and sensual a ms.
when the Iogfer in him has mastered the man,
and he has become the shame of his friends,
th, pest and disgrace Of the city, subject fer
NE polee-courts and the jails, then it win be
too late to undo for this world the mischief
which perhaps slight effort now in the right
direction might suffice to avert.
Think of this, you who have influence with
boys; and do not through your indifference or
absorption-in other things suffer them to lack
the friendly counsel, the warning word enforc-
ed by tokens of real interest which might save
teem to be the blessings rather than the pests
of society,"
