! EDITOR OPEEousAs GoUKIER-I desire to re-
cord in your journal, the death of two gentlemen
who fell victims to the disease, which, for the
last two months has been prevailing in the town
! of Washington. -.ss9f ~ eg
/ At the outbreak of the epidemic the only cu-
rate of Opelousas left the scene of his peaceful
/ labors, and came to Washington In the dis
chargeof laborious duties he was, after a few
days. stricken down. Father Nachon succeeded
him, and he also after few days, fell sick. Fa-
ther Raymond recovered, hut Father Nachon
died, ina relapse from his diseasess Before the
cold covered his grave, another holy man from
Grand Coteau, Father De Chaigneau. appeared
amidst the ,3esolation which was fast spreading
over the village. After O. few days Of untiring
devotion to ilis sacred duties, both IN country
! and town, he was attacked, and died in a few
days. aa1Isa RI ssS3s ~
A simple statement OF these facts ought to
render all comment unnecessary. They eviaced
a moral heroism far beyond what is ever dis
PLAYED on the battlefield. This time no cannon
roared. no bullet whistled through the silent
streets, but the pestilence which "walketh in
arkness, !" had here established his dominion,
and death, with Unsuitable appetite, was feeding
npon the young and cid These gentlemen, heed
less of danger, governed only by sense of duty,
came voluntarily amongst us, for the purpose of
bestowing upon the afflicted and dying, that
consolation which religion alone can bring.
They have both perished, and in their lives,
and in their deaths, they have exhibited sub
Unity of character which can find no parallel
save IN instances OF self-saerifce The immedi-
ate interests of suffering fellow beings, alone at
tracted their attention. In utter oblivion of SELF
they dedicated their services and their lives to
afflicted humanity. IL pleased God to call them
away, whilst engaged IN their sacred duties.
They have been transferred from the scenes of
this world to the Eternal Kingdom, and are now
in the enjoyment Of that reward reserved for
those who die as martyrs, In the holy cause of

yellow FEvER.--Nutwithstandi the very
commendable precautions of our worthy Town
Council, seconded by the well thinking portion
of our citizens, we have not been able to keep
entirely away this dreadful disease, which has
been making such havoc in New Orleans, and
has spread in almost every part Of Louisiana and
Texas. Although it has been prevailing in our
neighboring town, Washington, for the last two
months and has spread iii the country for several
miles around us, owing to the strict Quarantine
regulations adopted by our Town authorities,
we had succeeded in keeping it out of our town
until few days ago. Thus far there have been
but three cases within our town limits, but ali
we are sorry to say, proved fatal. Up to the
present, there are no new cases, probably owing
to the fact that tile town is almost deserted all
having left who were able to do SO. -
While on this subject, we should not forget to
record the very efficient services Of the s'opel-
ousas Relief Association some of whose menu
bers were always to be found where their services
were needed, and we hare noticed, prominent
among them, our honorable Mayor, who was as
assiduons in his attendance on the sick as have
been his efforts TO keep the disease from our
midst.
But although there 10 mot now single case of
yellow fever in town, we would particularly
caution those Of eur citizens who have left town
to escape the epideniic and persons living in the
country, mot to return for while vet, or at least
not until frost should render their doing SO less
hazardous @

TeIegraphic Dispatches.

Washington, Oct. I8.-A well authen-
ticated report is. to the effect that in con-
versation the President expressed the
following views regarding impeachment:
He apprellended the Radical leaders
would become more desperate than ever,
and hesitate at nothing to accomplish
their revolutionary purposes. L, 8
Referring to suspension before convic-
tion, he declared he would resist it with
all the power which the Constitution fur
nishes for its own protection.
+ On the subject of the Cabinet he said
that circumstances necessitated O
change, and before the meeting OF Con-
gress a achange would be made.
He will neither consult with nor be
governed by party cliques, but will draw
around him men Of ability, nerve aud pa
tri0tism. i .
Abiding to Gen. Sherman. he said lie
would he here between the 10th and 18th
OF November, in ample time for the dis
charge of any duty, however responsible,
which may devolve upon him. 3.

What do they mean?

Can any one tell what these large negro
club meetings since the election mean
White politicians, when the elections are
over, usually suspend their club move
ments and rest from their lab0rs but
these negro clubs in Franklin are now
more nilmeronsly attended than ever.
The object of these secret meetings is for
the wolves and wildcats to do a work
which they do not wish the light of day
to shine on. A baser set Of hypocrites
never lived than those who are whisper
ing talsehoods and deceit In the ear Of
the Negroes In league clubs all ever the
South. Many of them are base enough
to ruin both the negroaHd the white man
if they had the power to d0it. - 4
But d short time since negroes all over
this parish came t0sclnb rooms armed.
And for what Have they ever been mo-
lested by our white citizens! Not at ALL
. Their leaders are familiarizing tile minds
Of these negroes with the idea of blood,
firearms, confiscation, robbery and plunz
den. These league clubs are school
rooms where negroes passions are played
upon by as desperate and cowartlly q.
set of scapegraees as ever crawled upon
Southern soil. E
These Political ruffians still make tile
negroes believe that the lands are TO be |
divided among the freedmen. Their
teachings arc calculated to make the ne.
grOes dissatisfied with honest Labor and
the white race. One of these teachers ii, d
cinbaneeting told the negroes that Presi- |
