& The Bienve Messenger has the following fat
tering notice Of the most iIlustrous OF the illus

In to-day's paper we publish an extensive arti.
II Gle from Gov Wells, so-caed, addressed to the
Loyal People of louisiana What he means
by the term "loyaI we do not exactly know. If
he means lnVal to the disgracefu and murderous
plots, the Gle is not addressed to the people of
sthis secf il he means "loyal" to the existing
laws q .dsiana and the general government
then fe all included, andh he and his unprin-
a elpied. .cendary radical associates are exempted
from the loyal bearing of this insulting document
! Its unequaled in the annals of impudence, that
man like Gov. Wells, who is lost to every prin.
clpe Of selt-respect-that NOBLE trait which char
acterlzes the true gentleman-should presume to
p@..es Judgmentas to the loyalty of q people, when
he deserted his native State in the hour Of her
greatest peril: and is criminal IN the eyes OF
Fl the lawEhavng violated the laws which he sWo1e
TO maintain, thereby adding the Aorrlele CRIME OF
perjury.
We would not dignity this malicious document
with publication, hut do so in order to let our
readers understand the true position OF the man
WHOM they compllmented with their votes, VINO
has proven false to their trust and who now so
jcnomniously dsgraces the gubernatoria chair
Of the State. No attempt at yiulcation from him
is necessary tits beyond the power OF words to
restore the lost confidence which was once re-
posed in him-he is lost, irretrieVably lost. He
sold himself to 5atan--or the radical party, winch
is tantamount-and was cheatedout OF the inner-
lance. Poor misguided, disgraGed and desplsed
being, court ob5curity, hide your guilty head IN
shame over your many crimes and in your re-
morse of conscience-if such a thing is possible
avert your thoughts from the bleeding corpse OF
poor Fred. Gruber, who now calmly sleeps en-
shrouded in his cold tomb, a reputed victim of
your political treachery
TIE Courier Of the Teche of the LIST inst. says:
Just as our planters were commencing to
gather in their crops, and to secure the fruits OF
the labor of the last nine months, spell OF the
most disagreeable and injurious weather has come
to put damper on all their hopes. Itrains almost
continually every day 1t is so long since last we

the cases have proved fatal.
We believe it is generally conceded tina
cholera is not contagious disease, and need no

most mysterious manner, oftentimes visiting tbs
most healthy localities and passing over Others
which, from inherent causes, would seem t.
invite it.
We can hardly think that our country friend
