FROM MOREHOUsE PARISH
BAsTRoP, June 7, 1867.

EDITOR REPU BLIcAN:
Since my last communication the signs OF
the times appear monotonous. The regis
tration is progressing slowly. The number
registered up to date are as follows: col
ored oil, white 257, total ll6s. OF late the
negroes in some localities in the parish have
caught the registration mania, which caused
general stampede among them. Some OF
them walked last week from eighteen to
twenty-five miles through the mud and rain
for the purpose of getting registered. They
begin to understand what it means, and feel
very anxious to get their free papers rs they
call them. Some of them have applied to
the board to know whether the government
is going to give them any land, or horse
to ride. The board not having on hand
anything of that kind to offer them, con.
cluded TO lay the matter over for further
consideration.
The twelfth judicial district court for this
parish commenced its session on the FIRST
instant, the Hon. Judge Crawford presiding,
who is gentleman OF high standing in this
community and is considered a very able
Judge and understand is sound and con
sistent in his political sentiments. The in
habitants come in from all parts of this
parish to attend court. On Monday, the
third instant, they made raid on the regis
tration stronghold for the purpose OF get
ting registered, but owing to their not being
qualified under the present instructions,
many of them had to turn away. The lues
tion arising in court as to whether the jury
drawn from the former voters would be
legal the Judge overruled the question and
decided in favor of the present panel and
existing laws. The court then proceeded
to business, 4 bill of exceptions was filed
as to the legality of the jury.
For the last. week the weather has been
fine, and the planters feel somewhat en-
couraged as to the prospects of making al
least "a considerable corn crop, but the pros
poets for cotton look rather gloomy. Many
of the planters have made contracts with
the negroes to work their plantations for Il
share of the crop, but owing to the unfavor
able season many of them have become dis
couraged as to the prospects OF making any
thing this year in the way of cotton. The
planters are ms much dependent on the
negro for his labor as the negro is de
pendent on the planter for his subsistence
Until the planters in this country learn thu
importance or adopt the rule of raising more
corn and less cotton, there will be more oil
less suffering and priyations among them
This year they say their corn-cribs anc
smoke-houses are located in New Orleans
aud from there all the supplies come. Tn,
mails from New Orleans to Bastrop have O
late become more regular, andthere is no
much difficulty now in receiving communal
cations from that quarter. 1t would be
matter of great Importance to the inhablt
ants of this section to have mail route es
tablshed between this place and Line
Grove, thence to the Arkansas line.

National Asylum for Disabled Volunteer
soldiers.

The board OF managers of the National
Asylum for disabled volunteer soldiers give
notice that they are now prepared to re-
ceiye benefciares into either branches near
Augusta, Me-; Milwaukee, Wis; or at the
Central Asylum, near Columbus, Ohio.
Volunteer soldiers are admitted upon APP
plication by letter to either of the mana
gers, or at the branch asylum nearest to
their residence; whereupon blank applica-
ton will be sent TO the applicant, and, if
duly qualified, transportation will be fur
nished him.
The requirements are: Tristan honor
able discharge from the volunteer service.
Second-Disability by wounds received or
sickness contracted in the line of duty. If
the applicant is unable to travel, or for
other sufficient cause, relief will be FUR
nished under the direction of the managers
to whom application is made. The over
seers of all almshouses and charity hes
pitfalls having disabled soldiers subsisting
upon private beneicence are respectfully
urged to report such cases TO either mana.
gers. as it is not fit that meritorious disabled
soldiers of the nation should be supported
by private or public charity. Soldiers are
especially informed that the asylums are
neither hospitals nor almshouses, but homes
where subsistence, care, education reliei-
Gus instructions, and employment are pro-
vided for disabled soldiers by the Congress
of the United States, to be paid for from the
forfeitures and fines of deserters from the
army. The provision is not charity. 1t Is
a contribution by the bountyjumpe and
bad soldiers to the brave and deserving, and
is their right. Soldiers having a wife, child
or parent dependent upon them, are not re-
quired to give up their pensions upon COM
ing to the asylum. Other soldiers are re-
quired to assign their pensions to the
asylum in special cases only, to be deter
mined by the board. Suitable compensa-
ton will be given for profitable labor in the
asylum. Good behavior will insure the
kindest treatment. Wives and children will
not be cared for at the asylum, until the
soldier has shown by his ability to aid him
self end them in part, by his labor and
steadiness, that taking his family in charge
will not increase his expenses to the
asylum above the cost of other helpless
benefciaries, in which cases provision will
hereafter be made.
The board of managers is composed of the
following named persons
The president of the United States the
chief justice the secretary of war Major
General B. F. Butler, president, Lowell,
Mass; Major General John II. Martindale,

placed, must establish his claims to be con-
sidered one of the most skillful admiDistra
tors of modern times 1t goes on to praise
him for not interfering with the plans of
his generals, Ohe very thing he was most
fond of doing, and says that "he never
countenanced or tolerated any departure
from the strict rules of civilized warfare "
forgetting all about his order to give no
quarter to United States officers found in
command of negro troops. The STIR,
which is one of the few papers that stood
up for the north during the war, says that
" At one time public feeling was strong
against Davis; now it has cooled down into
indifference, if not contempt The Times
uses the event of his release AS text from
which to preach forbearance and clemency
toward the Fenian prisoners in Ireland
which is very clever in the Times, u paper

Correspondence Of the Republican,
MONROE, La, June 10, 1867.
For the past week we have been blessed
with delightful weather. The mercury rises
in the middle Of the day to 90 or OIL de-
grees, which is quite warm enough for
comfort, especially when there is breeze.
The planters are improving the fine
weather. and their crops look promising,
compared with what they Gid ten days ago.
Most Of the planters are on very good
terms with the freedmen, deal Justly with
them, and are not ashamed 10 converse
freely with them, or give them advice or
information. They are assisting them In
building q church and sehool-house here.
This class of planters find no trouble with
the freedmen. They work faithfully, and
are cheerful and happy.
There is another class of so-called plant.
ers who loaf about town and do nothing but
curse the United States government, the
negroes and every one who wears the
blue or aids the freedmen In any way.
they wear broad brimmed hats, drink
whisky, chew tobacco, and II they can
squirt the Juice and strike bulls eye fifteen
ynrdg og, they call themselves planters. The
only way that they can get freedmen 70
work for them 10 By the offer Of high wages,
more than any plAnter can afford TO pay,
and at tho end Of the year they cheat them
ont Of their just dues.
There were several cases before the die.

Eel
Last sht had pleasant dream,
thought the moon was shining bright;
That was nigh Ohio's stream,
Where Luna shed her silver light.
Upon a rich and gorgeous scene,
Where nature every charm displayed;
And by my side, with graceful mien,
The charming Ella with me strayed.
While from her beaming eyes there stole
Rays such as light the stars above,
Which showed her bright angelic soul
Was glowing with the purest love.
The roses there, were blooming fair,
And flowers of every tint and hue
With their sweet perfume filled the air,
wooing our eyes their charms to visw.
Those flowers we're pleasant to behold,
AS they bedecked the sylvan scene;
Some shone in azure some in gold,
With stems and leaves of emerald green.
Twas not the coors they displayed
Alone which made Elysium there;
Although they were of every shade
Which paints what's beautiful and rare!
1t was because fair Elias eyes
Reflected the bright dazzling scene,
That made me it more highly prize,
Than if the Elysan fields I'd seen
For it's alone we life enjoy
When sauntering with those whom we love-
And brightest scenes minds employ
On earth or spsnsled heavens above
For what can greater bliss imDart,
Or give such pleasure unto man,
As when with her who's won his heart
He natures mAster.woiks doth sean
'Tis then he social bliss enjoys,
And relishes the scenes around:
Life moves along without alloys,
For nougot but joy in it is found
Noavarice within the mind
Nor selishness-c4n find a place;
Hence love- true love, with love combined,
Those, and all such low thoughts, would chase
