PARTY T1Es.-The Journal Of Commerce
trusts that party ties will prove vi ak
when men come to consider the simple
question now before them
"Shall we sustain the Union and the
President, or sustain the enemies of the
Union and crush the President? The is
sue is made up, and must soon be decid
ed"
Its advice is also practical, timely, and
true, when it says:
"If the Radicals in Congress conquer
Mr.. Johnson, there is no chance for peac,

the fundamental point, brought forward
by Mr.. johnson with startling force, that
these Northern extremists are enemies ot

Northern States, representing themselves

CURE FOR SMALL Pox.-The Richmond
Times publishes the following receipt 70,
the treatment Of smallpox:
The mode Of treatment is as follows
When the preceding fever is at its height,
and just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartar.
ic ointment. This causes the whole of
the eruption to appear on that part Of the
body, to the relief of the rest. 1t also
secures a full and complete eruption, and
thus prevents the disease from attacking
the internal organs. This is said to bt
the established mode of treatment 10 the
English army in China, by general orders.
and it is regarded as a perfect cure.

OUR RAILROAD.

It will be gratifying to the citizens OF onr
parish as we'll as those Of the Crosse Te-
te and Maringouin country to learn that
every preparation is being made to put
the Baton Rouge Crosse Tote and Ope.
lousas railroad, once more in order. The
Directors held a meeting on Saturday
last, which resulted in the choice OF D. v
Durable, Esq, as President-a selection,
we feel assured will meet the approba-
ton Of every stakeholder and the public
generally. At the same meeting it was
resolved that all persons owing the com:
pany for freight should come immediate
" forward and settle for the same ; while
those owing on stock notes are given
thirty days for the payment Of the balan
ces or the company would declare them
forfeited or not at its option. Much other
business came before the Board, but it is
scarcely necessary to enumera,e it fully
here, suffice it to say, that it was OF a
thorough practical character.
While we hope our citizens at both ter
mini of the road will do all in their pow
er to assist in placing it again in running
order, let us further indulge III the pleas
ant anticipation that the citizens Of Baton
Rouge will not be backward in contribut-
ing their efforts for its restoration, but
avail themselves of the opportunity OF
reopening a t%horoughfare which once
poured its treasures at the feet Of the
merchants of that city. To be candid,
much is expected from that source, and
and those who, before the war, experience
ed the rich trade Of the country traversed
by this road, will hardly hold back, when
they are assured that a vast increase Of
business will be added to the general
wealth and prosperity Of their fair city.
The annual trade Of the Grosse-Tete and
Maringouin countries, before the war,
reached so high a figure that the Baton
Rouge merchants could scarcely realize
the fact, although the loads Of freigh,
which daily left their stores, were evidence
enough, to the most sceptical, that the i'll
vestments in stock Of that road, proved a
harvest they had never anticipated
Many new firms have appeared in that
city since the close of the war, all seeking
for that which all men desire, business
which is money-and we assure them that
if they wish to increase their custom and
have their names widespread through
the country to throw all their energies to
the reestablishing Of this road.
