death Of Capt. THOMAS G. ROBERTSON, Sec
ond son of Col. W. B. ROBERTSON, of this
parish, who expired suddenly at his resi-
dence at Lobdell's Store, on Friday even
my Of last week after a very short illness.
Capt. ROBERTSON served throughout the
late war in a manner highly creditable to
himself and the command to which be
was attached-the Ninth Louisiana Bat
talon, Major B. r. Chinn. His loss is
deeply deplored by all who knew him.
Since the above was in type, news has
reached us Of thedeath of Capt Robertson's
beautiful and accomplished wife, who.
overcome at her bereavement, fell a vic
tim to the fell destroyer, on Tuesday of
the present week. United in life, death
could not part them. May their spirits
meet in a happier world where sorrow
and trouble are unknown.

A PLEASANT DAY.--Last Saturday,

A PLEASANT DAY.--Last Saturday,
prompted by a desire to do something for
the recuperation of our dilapidated health,
we took a trip on the popular coast-pack-
ct. Nina Siimmes, to Bayou Sara. We
found the boat in excellent order, the en-
gineers faithful to their duty, the steward
perfectly uu .faI at his business, the
clerks, Messrs. TRoxcLER and MILLER, at
the head of their profession, and the
Captain, w. 4. GREArHousE, a gentleman
who should be remembered and %patroniz-
ed by all who do a coast business. On
board this really delightful steamer, can
be seen the rub;cund face of our old friend
Tom URE, who looks as if be were af-
Aicted with consumption--that is to say,
of the good things daily served up on the
SHINES for the accommodation of her
patrons. If our citizens don't or wont
patronize a boat like the SHINES, why
then they are on the broad and beaten
path that leads to destruction, and the
quicker they are made aware of their
great sin of omission, why the better will
that clever. good natured gentleman,
Capt GREArHoUsE be satisfied, and all
hands join in a grand jubilee at a good
boat, fine officers, splendid table and a
captain as is q captain. If the SHINES
can be beat we would like to know it,

CHURCHES BuRNED.--A writer 10 the
New Orleans Christian Advocate says that
between 1000 and 1900 churches were
burned during the late war. These church
es, he thinks, cost the people no less than
S., O0O, 900. In the loss the Methodists
were the greatest sufferers the Baptists
next, then the Presbyterians and the
Catholics last. What harm the churches
did is not stated, but it is shrewdly sup.
posed that they were more or less of a
secession character and that was crime
enough to those who were filling their
with Southern plumber.

G-The gradual subsistence Of the
river within its banks impresses US with
the hope that ample time will be afforded
70 close the crevssses in our parish before
thelnext rise reaches Us. Although the
break in the levees at Chinn and Robert
sons was wide enough to spread general
desolation over the country. it must not
be supposed the entire evees were carried
away. Far from it. A large portion Of
the upper levee remains, standing, firm
despite the heavy washing of the current,
while here and there in the middle Of the
break, small portions Of the levee may
be seen. We noticed several aat-boats
q short distance within the crevasse,
drawn there by tho force Of the current,
and in all probability they will remain
there as it is impossible to haul them
out.

OUR PROSPECTS,.

OUR PROSPECTS.
The river having once more returned
to . safe position within its banks and the
creyasse water in the rear Of the parish
nearly gone, we may expect an early conf
mencement upon the levees Of CHM and
ROBERTSON. Whether the old contractors
are retained or the work put into new
hands, can be of little importance so long
as the work is not delayed. We have
heard repeatedly that the Levee Commits
sioners are determined upon recommeD.
cling those works 80 soon as the river shall
have subsidized sufficiently for that pur-
pose. On this point we congratulate the
Commissioners. The matter is entirely in
their hands, and should those levees be
not completed by the next rise Of the riv-
er, the fault, in the main, will rest with
them /; but there need be no failure this
this time. Indeed, the very salvation Of
u parish depends upon the security Of
forded the next years cropping, and it is
scarcely necessary to repeat how anxious
our people are to be assured of their safe
ty. That boon secured, there is every
reason to believe that our little parish will
once more take her position as one of the
most 1ourishiDg of the State.
As stated. in a previous article, work
would have been commenced on the Ope-
lousas and Baton Rouge railroad early in
the season, had not the crevasees of
Chinn and Robertson occurred, and we
have been informed by one of the Direct
ors, that they only await a favorable op-
portunity to commence operations upon
the injured portions Of it. How far those
injuries extend now that the waters OF an
other crevasse have plowed over it, can
not, as yet, be asccrtained, but the pre-
sumption is strong that the additional cost
for repairs will not be great. Afew days
now will determine that point. If the
proper spirit is shown in putting this road
once more in order and extending it to the
Atchafalaya. as originally contemplated
in the charter, we may, in the course of a
few years look for a stream of wealth
flowing through the parish far exceeding
the anticipations Of the most s%anguine.-
But the Directors Of the road must be up
and doing, they must strain every nerve
to accomplish this great end, they must
endeavor to create business in every way
possible and show the people that they
have spared neither time nor expense to
make the road q paying concern. And
to do that it must terminate in Alexandria,
or oven at some point in Texas, Il neccs-
sary.
