Pontcharan at the forts ofPetites Coquilles OF the
Rgolets, and from this, ascending the Bayou St.
John, which was also defended at its outlet into
the lake by that little fort, which still may there be
seen, although converted into private residence
or country seat, as we have already stated in a
former number. Still, there was another way to
have reached the rear Of the city, and that was by
the way of the Chef Menteur; however, here
again, very small force Of well drilled rihemen
could have successfully prevented the advance of
very heavy columns on account of the impenetra
BILE cypress swamps that to the right and left
serve as the best hanking projections, and there
fore leave only the small road upon the ridge
of the Bayou Gently as channel for reaching
the city approaches. Thus it will be seen that
even at the present day city can easily be rem
dered of most formidable defense when proper
measures are taken for that purpose, and there is
not preconcerted design to make mere sham
opposition and leave the town to its fate.

DESTRUCTIVE HAIL SToRN.-Ngver IN the mem
ory of the oldest inhabitant has Marshall county
been visited by such destructive rain and hail
storm as passed through portion of it on Sunday
evening last. The storm commenced few miles
north west of Holly Springs, and passed in south
western direction, destroying hundreds of acres of
cotton, corn, wheat and oats, in its devastating
course. We know of numbers Of large farmers Ia
the immediate vicinity and in a few miles of Holly
Springs, that have been literally stripped of all
growing vegetation. The damage done to many
of our farmers is rreparable as the season is too
far advanced to replant cotton with any degree of
certainty Of making a crop; and many Of them had
expended all the means they could raise to make O.
crop the present year.
The hail stones were larger than we ever saw
fah before, many of them being as large as a
goose egg, and measuring six or seven inches IN
circumference, The ground in many places was
covered to the depth Of from one to two feet,
and at ten O'Clock on Monday morning last, wagon
loads of the ice could have been gathered within
two or three miles Of Holly Springs. Our city
was on the eastern edge of the storm, and re-
ceived but little damage from the hail, but many
houses a few miles west of here were damaged
by large hail stones passing through the roofs and
| breaking all the glass in the windows. Stock
we sincerely hope that our people will never wit
ness another such storm.
| The farms Of Messrs. Willis, Ward, McClatchie,
Fennell, Alexander, N. Smith, Mckinney, Jefries,
Ahston, Mrs. Burton, and hundreds of others, are
literally ruined by this destructive hail storm.
| Where hundreds Of bales of cotton would have
been raised if this unfortunate occurrence had not
taken place, but very few will now be realized

iNessrs. Edttors-I beg leave to submit to you
an extract from letter lately received by me,
from well.known and highly respected lady of
Richmond, the sister of one of our well-known
poet and authors, one of the true ministering an
gels, who during the trying times of the past ez-
hibited selfsaorifcing devotion for the
welfare of our gallant men on all occasions.
Though widow, with family to look after, and
suffering losses and priVations in common with
many, her heart and house were ever open to the
distressed soldiers of the South, from whatever
State they came and she was besides constant
and untring visitor and minisrant in the hospitals,
which, in Richmond, considering all things, was
no light task. l can Vouch personally for her
jealous and unselfsh desire on the subject of the
extract below given, and that any thing contribu-
ted for the purpose, will be faithfully judiciously
and conscientiously applied to the purpose;
The ladies of Richmond have formed them
selves into an association for improving and beauti-
flying the graves of our Confederate dead but the
work is great, for there are IL 600 inferred at
Hollywood, besides large number at Oakwood.
Money is needed, and this is scarce article here.
Can't you raise some among your old companions
in arms? You know it is not alone fer Virginia's
dead, for all the States are represented and many
noble Louisiana soldier found his last resting
place on our soil.
9 Do try and send me some, as soon as possible,
for we are anxious to begin operations. Perhaps
Captain R. would interest himself if You would
communicate with him; would do so myself, but
do not know his address. The intention of the
ladies is to enclose me graves turf them and place
head boards to all of them, and after this is done
kept in order"
This is a matter that commends itself to our best
feelings and sympathies, especially to Louisanians
know that our community has already been heaVi
ly taxed for various purposes growing out of the
late war, but this is matter that touches US near
ly. The smallest contributions from many will
make respectable aggregate.

What are we to do .

Some time ago you published an article from
physician'who stated that hard water caused
cholera, and who cited asa an example that out of
fifty or seyenty-fye negroes on a certain place,
only one survived the ravages of the disease and
attributed it to his having drank only rain water,
whereas the others drank well water
To day there is a long communication in your
paper headed Cholera and Mississippi water" In
it are these lines THE jail was filed with Grim.
mails who drank well water only, and not case OF
cholera occurred among them, although they were
equally exposed to epidemic influence as those
%ho fell victims to it ~
Now, when doctors disagree, what will patients
do : What, with not knowing what to drink, nor
what to eat, on account of tricnosis in birds, pork
mutton and fish, what will we do? I'm resolved
to go it blind. Yours truly,

NATIONAL EXPRESS COMPANY. As was an

pany ia New Orleans is now ready for business,
and will forward letters or packages TO any point
in the Union. One important and novel feature in
the express business, introduced by the managers
of the National Express Company is that they
have an open policy in one of the strongest insu-
rance companies of New York, which covers all
freight and vaiuables shipped by it, and no extra
charge is made to the shipper therefor. We hope
that such enterprise will meet with remuneratiye

ON SATURDAY, JAN. 6. 1866. MEssRs.
~ TICKNOR AND FIELDS will begin the
publication Of a weekly journal entitled
EVERY SATURDAY
A Journal Of Choice Reading,
SELECTED FROM
Foreign Current Literature.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 10, 1866.

Much of the best literature of the day is
found in the English and Continental maya
zines and periodicals |; and it Is the design OF
the Publishers of this new journal to repro
duce the choicest selections from these for
american readers, in form at once attractive
and inexpensive. The Publishers believe that
such journal, conducted upon the plan which
they propose. will be not only entertaining and
instructive ia itself, but interesting and valua-
BILE as reflex of foreign periodical literature OF
the better class.
EVERY SATURDAY Is Intended for Town and
Country, for the Preside, the Seaside, the
Railway, and the Steamboat. Its plan embra-
ces Incidents Of Travel and Adventure. Essays
Critical and Descriptive, Serial Tales. Short
Stories, Poems, Biographies. Literary Intelii-
genoe, etc, in connection with judicious selec-
tions from the admirable popular papers on
Science which are constantly appearing in for
eign periodicals. The value of these papers
arises from the fact that scientific subjects,
however harsh and dry in themselves, are here
treated in SO graphic and picturesque a style
as to charm the reader while instructing him.
IL will be- in short, the aim OF its Publishers
that EVERY SATURDAY shall commend itself by
its freshness and variety TO all classes Of intel
| iigent and cultivated readers.
| EVERY SATURDAY will contain each week
tbirty-two large octave pages, handsomely
printed in double columns, with an engraved
