WIDOWS AND ORPHhNs.-It Is truth that
cannot be disputed there are in this county
and State to-day many lonely widowed hearts
and orphan children; relics Of heroes and
the offspring Of martyrs, whose pale faces,
feeble hands and fearful eyes meet around
foodless tables and cherries hoarths.
Knowing this to be SO, is it not the bounden
duty Of the fortunate ones among us to con
tribute paltry sum that viii 90 to alleviate
the distressed condition Of the widow and
orphan? Let us devise means By which a
few hundred dollars can be collected for the
benefit Of the pocr and distressed. In our
opinion quite handsome sum could be re
allied by holding a grand tournament here
in October We are confident that a large
number Of knights would contest for the
prizes offered, and that an immense crowd
Of persons would attend There are duties
and obligations resting upon the fortunate
that should, in the name Of humanity, be
discharged. The unfortunate appeals, Can

~ A number of burglaries as
we'll as highway robberies have been
perpetrated during the past few
weeks in our city and vicinity, re-
calling to mind those similar out
RACES which were of such frequent
and annoying occurrence in our midst
last year.
Certain individuals, identif ed, we
learn as the parties implicated in a
recent robbing expedition on the
premises of a widowed lady residing
at the highlands, have been arrested
and committed to prison. As their
case will undergo judicial investiga-
ton, we await whatever facts may
be elected on the trial before making

GEORGE PEABoDY.-The following
we'll merited testimonial to that il

Whereas, it has come to the knowl.
edge of the General Assembly of
Louisiana that Mr.. George Peabody,
Of Massachusetts, has appropriated
the munifcent sum of one million Of
dollars to the promotion Of education
and morals in the desolated portions

And whereas, in this provision, he
has embraced our beloved and i'm

Be 1t resolved, That the General

Of gloom and ainty, we hail
this act of unexampled and splendid
benevolence as the earnest of new
future in which the voice of civil
discord shall be hushed, and mems
minds turned to peace, mutual indul-
gence, and good will.
Resolued, That we unite in fer
vent prayer to Almighty God that
the life Of this noble philanthropist,
patriot and Christian gentleman may
be long spared to the service of his
country and mankind, and may he
be assured that when it shall please
Divine Providence to remove him
from this scene of his earthly bene-
factions, that his memory will live
forever, an everlasting monument of
Christian virtue, in the hearts and
minds of the grateful people Of
Louisiana.
Be 1t further reso1ved, That a
committee of three from the Senate
and - from the House be appointed
to transmit these resolutions to Mr..
George Peabody.

wAsHINGroN,s ANNIVERSARY.

1 a M
] If there is one day in the bio
graphical annals of the world more
deserving of rememembrance and
reverence to Americans than another,
that day is the Twenty-second of
February, the approach of which is
near at hand. That it's time honored
observance should be suffered to fall
into that state Of comparative desue-
tude in which we find it Of late years,
is a reproach to the people whose
foretathers were wont to hail, with
pride and delight, as "first in war,
first in peace and first in the hearts
of his countrymen," him who was
the synonym and pattern Of every
thing that is noble, pure and grand
in man.
The name and character of the IL
lustrious Washington can never be
obliterated from the scroll Of immor-
tai fame. They are there, indellibly
fixed in letters of living light, never
to be paled by the mutations or
transmutations of time and circum-
stances. Adversely, with its crush
ing heel, or prosperity, with its
vaunting pride and selfshness, may
come to turn men aside from the out
ward observances due the memory
Of the great and good Washington,
but he will continue t6 live in the
hearts of the people of every age and
cline wherein exists true apprecia-
ton Of the perfection Of human
character. His is "one of the few
the few immortal names that were
not born to die"
However secondary in Importance
some may be disposed to view mere
outward demonstrations of respectful
tribute, as medium for perpetuating
the glory and renown of SO great
and good a character, yet it is meet
and proper that such demonstrations
should be encouraged and allowed
their full play, if for nothing more
than the happy effect they are cal
culated to exercise upon the nobler
feelings and instincts Of humanity.
We are glad to perceive that the
members of the Fire Department in
our city, following up their appro,
pirate custom of celebrating the an
niversary Of Washington, intend
turning out in procession for that
purpose, on tomorrow, and that the
Thespian Association have made
arrangements for winding
Up of the days proceedings, by a
Grand Ball to be given in honor Of
