evidently knowing that was sitting out.
side, they Immediately closed the door, so
as to continue this disinterested advice to
our colored friends, unheard by me.
Now, laying aside entirely the impro.
priety of this subordinate functionary, in
ncglecting his official duties to lecture the
colored people who daily come before him
on political topics, it seems most refresh
ing piece of cool impotence in such men to
denounce loyal Union men as villains.
In what does the villainy consist? Sim
ply, on the part Of many in risking their
lives for the salvation of the government,
and the freedom of those very people to
whom he was appealing, while this very
gentleman was among the most distinguish.
ed fighters in the whole Confederate army
who fought four long years to rivet more
closely the chains OF slavery on those same
people; while on the part Of all true Union
men their villainy consists in an earnest,
honest dpcirn IN M hI,auein.,s % g.
dom, which has been bestowed on the col
ored man, secured to him forever. In this
consists the villainy of those villains that

men of Louisiana glory in the infamous
title.
Can this newly.fedged champion of the
Negrophilists as they were wont to call us,
show as clear record9 How indisputable
his claim to he ranked as a friend of the
colored man Four long years his party
fought the bloodiest war on record to pre-
vent the freedom Of the colored man, and
thus show his love for that race; and since
the war, the bloody riots in Memphis and
New Orleans have demonstrated to every
intelligent mind that they are the friends of
the colored man, beyond doubt
Really, If our colored peoples listening to
such ranting might not result in conse.
quences SO serious to their whole race, as
well as our own, we might well afford to
laugh heartily over the cool impudence of
such inconsistency and such pretensions.
But the future is fraught with conse-
quences too momentous to be trihed with.
/ therefore warn the colored people, who
visit that court, and all other places In
our city where such men hold sway, to be.
ware Of them. Transact your business, col
ored men, and leave; and let not such men
sway you for moment to listen to their
advice, which means only the destruction
Of your race. LOYAL.

most searching and convincing legal papers
ever presented before court in this city.
But their opponents we're able men also,
and it required clear legal mind to decide
the contest between the great counsellors.
Judge Durell's decision is well known. It
was the first case that had been fairly and
squarely presented involving.the validity OF
the confscation law. Since Judge Durell's
decision we have not heart the question
seriously raised; he presented his views SO
clearly that no thoughts of appeal were
entertained. 1t was thenceforth regard
ed as res judicdtd. And since that time in
the numerous admiralty cases, and in
litigation involving the binding force Of
contracts, based upon consideration in Con-
federate notes, the Judge has rendered
many important decisions, and we have yet
to hear Of one that has been reversed by the
Supreme Court.
The important services he rendered this
State as member and President of the Con-
stitutional Convention Of 1864 are not in
any sense second to those he has performed
as jurist. But as the records Of that Con-
vention have been fully written and pub
lished, we do not deem il necessary to do
more than to allude to them here.
Some months ago, as we learn, Judge
Durell seriously contemplated resigning his
position on the bench and resuming the
practice Of law; but such step would have
been deprecated as a serious misfortune by
nine-tenths of the people Of New Orleans
who are at all acquainted with the subject,
and we are glad to know that the Judge has
thought better of it. 1t is probable that
the District Court will be opened in few
days for the regular transaction of the bust
ness which has accumulated in consequence
of the vacancies in the offices Of Marshal and
District Attorney.

establishment gof such enterprises. This
company will sdispurseeight to ten thousand
dollars per month at Moiino, Florida, where
the mills are erected. Is this not a great
help to the people. of that locality Should
not all good Southern men encourage such
investments throughout the. South, This
company will mostly find u market in yari-
GUS foreign ports; but they will have an
agency in New York, and possibly in New
Orleans, unless our citizens intend to build
up more manufactures Of our own. At al,
events we shall want the Pensacola lumber
of various kinds, as well as that from the
whole Gulfcoast Ali such great enterprises
should be held as a benefactiep to the coun-
try. Such is true political economy.

The Republican as an Advertising
Mediutu.

Our circulation now reaches several thou
sand copies per day, and is rapidly increas-
ing. 1t extends over wide area of country.
The REPUBLICAN is a live paper, and is at
tentively read. 1t has, in short, all the
characteristics of first-class advertising
medium. Merchants, manufacturers, pro
fessional men, steamboat agents, and all
others having information in relation to
their business which they wish to lay before
the public, will find IN our columns the best
opportunity for so doing that is afforded in
this or any other city. 1t is our determin-
alton to make the REPUBLICAN, such paper
as shall be desired by every intelligent man
In the city.

THE vICKsBURG REPUBLICAN,.

Our attention has been called to state
ment that appeared in the last issue of the
Ficksburg Herald, to the effect that the new
Union paper of that place, the Republican,
had suspended publication after having is.
sued one number. This statement under
the circumstances is not characterized by
that spirit of fairness which should actuate
contemporary editors. The facts, as we are
informed, are briefly these When the pro-
jector of the Republican received the au-
thority to publish the United States laws
and treaties in the State of Mississippi, he
was led to believe that it was expected of
him to start at the earliest practicable
moment. As he found 1t difficult to get the
proper material for first class weekly
paper from New York or New Orleans in
time he employed the Herald establishment
to get out the first number for him. This
was done, and the bill presented being
greatly in excess of what he had expected it
would have been, he determined to devote
his entire attention to the purchase of ma
terial of his own, and to the organization of
his office. For this purpose he was com
PEELED to come to this city, there being no
possibility of purchasing anything of the
kind in Vicksburg. His absence from home
involved the necessity of suspending the
publication ofone number of the Republican,
and this fact gave all the ground there was
for the Herdlds premature obituary. We
are assured by Colonel Dugan that there is
no possible doubt that the Republican will
be published regularly as soon as the new
material which he has just sent up can be
got in working order. We hope to see
many friendly bout yet between our vicks-
burg friends in discussing the great ques-
tions in which they are respectively in

PENSACOLA LUMBER COMPANY.

We recently mentioned that we, with Joy,
recorded the erection Of new mills, factories,
furnaces, and everything of the kind, in any
of our ''unreconstructed" States, believing
it wise in our readers 10 look to manufac-
turing as the great source of our permanent
independence and wealth. And in no part
of these States are mills and manufactures
more needed than in the State of Florida
with its millions Of acres of unsold lands
belonging TO the United States, and its
sparse, almost unpeopled condition. That
naturally rich State, that land of flowers,
only had population, according TO the
census of 1850, of rs, $50 whites. There were
also 1853 slaves. OF the many places of
interest on the Gulf coast, Pensacola IL,
doubtless, the most important, on ac-
count Of its admirable location and
Its splendid prospects for the future. 1t has
the largest and finest harbor on the Gulf of
Mexico, and, as such, was the naval depot
of the Gulf feet. Commanding and defend
ing its harbor is Fort Pickens, q first class,
Fashioned fort; built Of brick and New York
granite, walls forty feet high and twelve
feet thick, costing more than million
dollars TO our nation.
Scarcely less interesting are the pine
woods. stretching away hundreds OF miles
in the interior, back Of Pensacola. The
bay and streams are bordered with inex-
haustib!e forests Of pine. There are also
supplies Of the finest oak, suitable for ship
building, andsof walnut, and of cedar, fit
for manufacturing and export. It
was impossible that the attention
Of the whole country should not be
drawn to those vast forests, hitherto almost
untouched by the axe, and contiguous to
such navigable bay and port. Indeed,
those heavy capitalists and intelligent men,
]. c. Aver 4 Co, whose Cherry Pectoral has
benefited so many all over the world, and
enriched them, have invested money al
ready to the amount OF s20o, 900 in the
above named lumber company, Of which
they are the leaders. Their mills are the
finest and most complete in the South; In
reality their large mill, to be completed now
in few days, is the finest in the United
States, with capacity for saving eighty thou
sand feet per day. They will increase the
business by the addition Of planning mills,
lathing, doors, sash and blinds, &c.
All their profits win be invested to
extend tie business, And not car
Iried away from the state. Mr..
J. J. Mcguire, who will be remembered in
this city as assistant postmaster under Mr..
]. NJ. @. Parker, is superintendent of the
company, and we have the fullest confidence
in his ability to manage the buuiness sHcspt-
ably and probably.
What an immense advantage to that local
lily, to any part Of the South, arises from the
