December q, 1864
A Remarkable Cure.--Mr. Samuel Lewis one
of the old pioneers of Cincinnati, was very
long apparently in the last stages of consump-
ton, and given up by physicians, when some
| kind friend recommended him to use Aliens
Lung Balsam. He did so, and Immediately
commenced recovering, and is now able to ats
tend to business. He says: I" In truth, ] may
say it has saved my life.i He is well known
in Cincinnati, and the fullest confidence may
he placed in his statements. 1t is due, there
fore, to the community, especially those suffer
ing under this terrible malady, that the fullest
publicity he given to such marvellous cures,
that other sufferers may avail themselves of
the remedy. With pleasure, therefore, we
refer to this cure.
Aliens Lung Balsam contains no opium in
any form. 1t is perfectly harmless for the
most delicate child

IL The leading journals of the
North in obedience TO the general de-
sire in that section, are clamoring for
reduction of taxes. The taxes as at
present imposed are onerous. They
were designed to be temporary and it
is discovered they are exhausting and
eat largely into capital. The income
tax is regarded as particularly odious,
because Of its inquisitoriaI nature and
the publicity given to private affairs.
The productions of the country are un-
able to meet the demands which are
daily made upon them.
The Commissioner of the Internal
Revenue in the conclusion of his
report to Congress on this subject:
All this is true, but it is not the
whole truth. There is something more
to be done than reducing the rate of
taxation. The now unrepresented
States should be restored at once TO all
their rights and privileges as members
of the Union, and thus market for
Northern manufactures would be open
ed, and the glut which is now so gen
eral would disappear. Depend upon it,
no measure looking to the alienation
OF the present sufferings of the people
will prove efectual unless they are ac-
companied by the speedy restoration of
the excluded States to their rightful
places in the Union"

u This session of the Legislature
should pay particular attention to the
subject OF immigration. Already have
Virginia, South Carolina and Texas
adopted bills offering terms of greater
advantages than have ever yet been
offered to actual settlers. Individual
enterprise lacks coherency and capital,
and nothing short of State assistance.
wherein certain immunities are ruaran-
teed, will ever induce the industrious
and thrifty classes of Europe to seek
our soil. Our cultivated lands and rich
country need population that will
change and diversity every branch of
industry. In no manner could the in
terterests of the people of Louisiana be
better subserved than in the passage
of liberal laws and appropriations en-
couraging foreigners to our shores in
large numbers. In no community
would these people be received with
greater joy than in our own State,
where the most remunerative WAGES
would influence them to take up per-
rnanent abodes in our midst. Settle
ments of the kind in various parts of
the State would be the nucleous around
which their friends and relatives could
soon be be induced to rally till every
avenue of labor resounded with their
busy hum. The Legislature has in its
power the means of turning hither the
tide of immigration, and the people de-
mand action on question so vital to
their interests. Win our Legislature
make a move in this important matter ?

u The Baton Rouge Advocate is,
(says the Picayune) like us, of the
opinion that the inmates of our fails
and penitentiaries should be employed
on the necessary public works. We
put the needed great railroad to Texas
via Orange first, and that by Shreve-
port or other Red River connections
next. But the Advocate would apply
it to keeping up the levees, which it
says can be preserved in no other way.
1t says:
1.-The labor of condemned criminals,
when their only cost would be their
guard, provisions and clothing, is our
only resort. The jails of the State are
to-day crowded with prisoners, and
men awaiting trial. and of whom nine
tenths may be convicted. Their num-
Der is estimated at two thousand. This
army of crime is eating up the sub
stance of the people. The aggregate
cost Of their support is over s4OO, 900
per annum' of which large proportion
is profit to jailors. The legal costs Of
this number of producers is an i'm
mense item.
"Eeonomise this expense, reduce it
by speedy trials and condemn the
guilty to the chain gangs on the levees,
there to serve out their terms, in labor
that will rebound to the protection of
the alluvial lands"

Shreveport, lately, we fell in with a
large crowd of people-men and wo-
men-coming to Texas; and were no
little surprised to hear many of them
say they were coming here to keep
from toll. We feel sorry for all such,
when we think of the complete disap-
pointment with which they will meet
at every turn for there is no State in
the Union in greater need of working
people, and less in need of idle ones,
than Texas. Old settlers, owning large
amounts of stock, can live here without
work, but new corners will be compel

It is the misfortune of Texas that
she is probably cursed by the presence
of more lazy mer and women, in pro-
portion to the population, than any
other State. 1t is the secret of the
great prevalence of crime. Whenever
man has determined to live without
work he is prepared for the commission
of crime. A lazy man is nuisance in
any community. We don't want any
of that class of immigrants. There is
no room for them here; but we have
room for at least a million of working
men and women.- Paris (1sras)

fourth page will be found-from, our

or woman, in this degenerate age.
You ask, Haidee, whether the "situ-

it is safe investment. when the nobler

IL A man by the name of Mum.
who was confined in our Jail on charge
Of mule stealing, was found dead in his
cell on Thursday morning last. On
tue day previous he attempted to cut
his throat. and succeeded in inflicting
terrible cash in his neck, which prob
ably severed his wind-pipe, and finally
produced his death. The wound,
however, was sewed up and dressed bv
Dr. Cross, and it was thought that he
would recover. That this man was
insane, there cannot be particle of
doubt At times. he appeared to be
rational, but most Of the time was a
raving maniac. An insane asylum
would have been the proper place for
him. When in his rational moments
he said he lived in or near Ell Dorado.
Arkansas. But he is now out of the
troubles and trials of this life.
Since the above was written, we learn
that the Coroner's jury, held on the
body OF Mr.. Num-, rendered a verdict
that his death was produced by taking
morphine--a portion of which being
found in his pocket.

The CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
IN THE LEGIsLATURE.-Both Houses
of the General Assembly of Louisiana
have unanimously rejected the Consti-
tutional Amendment proposed by Con-
gress. This is certainly remark able
result in the history of this country.
The Governor in his message to the
Legislature, was in favor of these
amendments, commends them as even
too just aud liberal, and out of Legis-
latiye Assembly of one hundred and
forty members, not single vote is
given in favor of his views. And yet
it is wellknown that in the Legislature
there is a number of representatives
who have always been regarded and
recognized as good Union men through
out the late war, and since. A Cover
nor without single supporter in the
Legislature is without precedent in
the political annals Of this country.
Considering the large patronage en-
joyed by the Governor of the State,
this is certainly striking proof Of the
unanimity Of this people, Ncw Or

The Legislature of Louisiana has
nobly performed its whole duty in re-
jecting. unanimously, this infamous
amendment. The members deserve and
will receive the thanks of our entire

SOUND ADvICE.-A late number of
the Memphis Avalanche contains an
admirable article on the Importance of
the Southern people laying the founda-
ton of true independence. The great
step to be taken in this question is to
raise food enough for all our wants.
The farmer who can fill his crib, this
fall, with more corn than he can use !;
whose hay and fodder stacks will feed
twice as much stock as he has and
whose turnip. potato and pea fields
make him smile, viii never, the Ava
lanche very properly remerks, be in
want. He can look his merchant full
in the face in December. More than
that. He will find his horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs multiplying and fat
tening; and it will then become pleas
ure to have green pastures for summer
aud warm sheds and stables for winter.
He will find he has just begun life. His
dairy and poultry yard will be the ad-
ditional pleasures; for he will never
fear empty cribs, or hay stacks with but
pole to show where hay once was, and
with the surplus money he can beautlfy
and adorn the farm. Convert the cabin
or the old double frame cabin into a
handsome mansion of modern style.
Furnish it with comfortable and ele-
giant furniture. Buy books and let
the children begin to know the attrac-
tons of home again From this begin
ming we may reasonably count upon a
gradual increase in manufactures, I'M
til we shall find ourselves wholly in
dependent of a people who hate us, and
yet envy US our land and cline. We
owe this effort to ourselves and our
children. Food first, and plenty of it.
Then crop of cotton. In this way,
and this way only, can the South be-
come truly independent.
