On Wednesday, the Dist inst, at the
residence of the BRIDES father, Mai. A. M
Dunn, in this city, by Rev. DR.. Lewis
Rector OF Calvary Churcn, New Orleans,
Mr.. BENZ. f. BRYAN, to Mrs. RE
BECCA G. LAIDLAW.
The old song of "Come haste to the
Wedding" had unfortunately for us to
undergo in our case transportation in
phraseology, after the close of the mar
rage ceremonies, SO as to read from the
Wedding, in order to enable us to have
the above notice together with our accom-
panying congratulations prepared in time
for our paper before going to press, in the
afternoon.
The occasion was one of special interest
and enjoyment to the numerous guests of
the hospitable old Major and his happy
household. A repast of the most elegant
and sumptuous order was spread out for
the entertainment of the gay and festive
throng to which all were welcomed in
spirit OF eordialand genuine hospitality.
Our gallant friend, B. F. B., and the
falr partner of his joys, looked the essence
OF inspired bliss and pleasure and bore well
their parts which gave principal moment
to the affair that had called so MANY of
their friends together.
To say that we wish the happy couple
everything that can contribute to o sunuDa
6cnun' of welded love and bliss, is to give
only feeble utieracne to the language and
Of our heart, and many there
are, we know, feel as we do in this regard.
Language is inadequate to convey the con-
gratulatiens of the heart upon such an
event.

A LOUISIANA HERoTNE.-Some
time about midnight, Thursday, Mrs.
Cushman was aroused by the bark
ing Of the yard dog. Getting out of
bed and seizing repeater, which
was at the head of her bed, she was
awaiting developments when the
noise of whispering was heard. In
a few seconds, efforts were being
made at three different windows to
burst open the blinds. Mrs. G. twice
endeavored to discharge the repeater
through one Of the blinds, but it re-
fused to fire. Della, little daughter,
nine years old, had in the meantime
been aroused and she had gathered
the other Of the two repeaters which
had been placed at the head of the
bed. While her mother was ex-
changing her refractory weapon for
a shotgun, which was in the room,
little Della had taken her stand at
one of the windows. They were too
slow for little Della; SO, forcing the
muzzle between the folding blinds
and guessing at her aim, she fired.
The robber had received his reward.
Groans and mutterings took the place
OF busy preparations to rob and
probably otherwise outrage peace
able family. The robbers gathered
around their wounded companion
and bore him off,'it is not known |
whether dead or alive. Unfortu-

crop of this season, says the Times
so far from discouraging, ought t
animate those engaged in that in
dustry with new and stronger hope
of the eventual resuscitation of tb,
splendid production Of former years
The encouraging fact developed
by the experience of this year is
that the obstacles to cotton culture
which were most apprehended hav.
proved OF no serious character, and
the real drawback upon the results
OF the season has been an unusual
and extraordinary one, to-wit: the
concurrence of meteorological causes,
such as has not been known before
for fifty years. But for this peculiar
and unprecedented state of the at.
mosphere producing continuous rains
at period of the year which is usu-
ally that of the dry season, the crop
of this year would have equalled
two-thirds Of the crop Of ante bellsns
times. This is the estimate of our
most intelligent and observing cotton
producers. Estimating the crop of
the season at one-third of the old
product, the deficiency of one-third
would be justly due to the unfavora-
Bile atmospheric causes referred to.
1t follows from this state of facts
that the fears in regard to the effect
Of the disorganization of our labor
by the events of the war, have not
been justified by the experience of
this year. The emancipated negroes
have generally on the plantations
worked well and demeaned them
selves orderly and industriously.
Wherever they were not interfered
with by intermeddling officials and
fanatical emissaries, and their reIa-
lions to their employers were left to
the control Of the natural and useful
laws of trade and industry, the freed
men have exhibited gratifying proofs |
OF their honest desire to lead lives of |
honest industry and punctual observ-
ance of their agreements. Of course
there are many exceptions to this
general observation. Not more, Der.
haps, than there are among white
people, in a similar situation. Enough
has been proved, however, to demon.
'trate the practicability and profta-
oleness of cultivating the planta-
ions in the present state of our labor.
With this experience and demon.
'tration, the prospects of good crop
II cotton next year are very encour-
lging. The chances of encountering
he unfavorable atmospheric causes
# this season are but as one in fifty.
With these encouraging indications
nd prospects, we hope our planting
'eople will prepare vigorously for
he next season. To Northern Gull
ivators and capitalists we would
ay, now is your time to engage,
nder the most favorable circum- !
tances, in the most profitable agri- 9
ulture in the world. The richest
Limitations may be bought or leased c
t rates which, to men of small capt. .

upation in which they can be en- Il
loyed, in this or any other country. =

New York, November 19.--The Posts
Washington special says the facts diyulged
to-day show LITTLE hope that the Presi-
dent will recommend impartial suffrage in
his message.
A special to the Commercial saws It is
confidently expected that the question of
reconstruction will be amicably settled
early in the approaching session. Nego-
tiations for that purpose are in progress
between the President and leading politi-
clans of oil parties North and South. The
basis of settlement will be universal suf-
frage and general amnesty. The Presi-
dent partially accedes to this proposition,
but insists, upon constitutional ground.
the question Of suffrage properly belongs to
the States, and is so far averse TO any ac-
ton of Congress upon that subject The
telegram also states, If assurances can be
obtained from Southern leaders Of a speedy
adoption of universal suffrage, the Presi-
dent will waive his objections.

DEMOCRATIC PAPERS.-There Is Il
health5 look about our democratic
exchanges throughout the state which
is gratifying to observe. Many ofthem
are being enlarged and otherwise inn
proved. They are fighting the politi-
cal battle bravely and deserve to be en-
couraged. In the present important
political campaign a very large share
OF the work must be done by thedemo-
cratic press. 4 special effort should be
made hyevery Democrat to increase the
circulation Of Democratic newspapers.
BY no other agency can 50 much good
be accomplished. If we can get the peo-
pie to read both sides, the revolution
that is now going on in public sentim ut
will be complete, thorough and lasting.
To this end let the circulation of Demo-
cratic newspapers be increased. Prop
er efforts by individual Democrats will
accomplish wonders. Leteach man do
his whole duty in this matter, and the
combined result of individual effort
will be such us 10 astonish even the
most sangGine.

noyxrEEs ann PENSIONS.

In the matter Of securing Govern
mept bounties and pensions widows OF
soldiers frequently find it difficult, an
ioying gandeXpensive; and, sometimes
after long delay, expense and trouble
impossible to satisfy the pension hu-
eau of the validity Of their claims asthe
'elictsof deceased vetrans. OrphaDsa d
,ged parents also are frequently cut off
rom bounties and pensions through
he loss Of records or the inaccessibiIity
o mere technical testimony. Many
thousands of poor and deserving heirs
md representatives ofdeceased soldiers
ire this day suffering the deprivation
If pensions and bounties from the pune
.iliousness and tortuosity Of red tape.
The rump Congress, although well
aware Of such facts, patent to almost
everybody, has never felt inclined TO
mite the tape in this respect, but it
las found ita congenial task to make
he way easy for the representative of
such negroes as many have died in the
government service. In the Runlp
House, on The 18th, Uponmotion Of the
Vienna hero, Schenck, il was resoIy-
ID that, in the matterof 'bountiest toeol-
)red soldiers" !" ''aIl colored persons who
nad formerly undertaken and agreed
% occupy the relation Of husband wife
and all who recognized that relation as
still existing, whether the ritesof mar
riage have been celebrated between
Them or not, shall be deemed husband
and wife, and their children shall be
aeldto be legitimate"
According 10 this, any negro concu-
5ine or prostitute with Whtnra dead
negro soldier had taken UP and cohab-
ited can draw a bounty from the gov
ernmcnt. How easyand convenient this
is in comparison with the law govern
ing the awful and legitimate re-
licts Of our dead white soldiers? Can
the country-the widows and orphans
Of white soldiers especially-honor and
respect such a Congress?-Pahiot d
