The possession Of the soil in great planta-
tions is, in fact, the '1ast ditch Of slavery
and the Confederacy. Instead OF having
this great social and political force misused
and misdirected by slaveocratic planters,
by men who strive to keep up the false theo-
ries and false practices of the slave regime,
we wish it to be so used as to bring wealth
end prosperity and power to Louisiana
and the only way under heaven to do this
is to cut up the plantations into farms, and
convert the shiftless planters into thrifty
farmers, although the process may seem
iheisive aud degrading While so much
cheap and fertile land is for sale as is aow
the case in Louisiana but little is to be
said, but in the end the great planters, or
the would-be great planters, if not sold out
by the sheriff must prepare themselves to
dispose Of their surplus unoultiyated acres.
We rejoice to hear that the freedmen are
working well on the plantations. We
would expect, however, much better results
both to the employers and the employed
we're they all working as hired men on
Louisiana farms Better still would it be
were they the possessors of small tracts of

title of Recollections of Henry " Allen y
We have never read the book, bit an ex.

and has recently been copied by me of the

pie of the work, as it probably is, Mrs.
Dorsays nameis not likely to ra1 high as
a historian, The following staement is
recommended to the perUsal Of theifteen OF
twenty thousand citizens Of New Orleans
who saw Mumford on the twenSsixth of
April, 1862, with one corner Of the flag
which he himself declared he andhis three
assistants had torn down from tl mint:
It was known among US that William B.
Mumford was not guilty of this olme(O of
taking down the United States fig, which
was done before the city surrendred, and
not done by him. General Butlg's court

1t must have been on eircums'qntil, if any,
evidence, because the flag was removed by
Adoiphus Harper, a young lad o sixteen,
who was hGrried out of the cit by his
alarmed friends Immediately afterthe com
mission OF the daring act, betCe Harper
was aware Of Mumford's capture Harper

Mumtord never denied having removed the

NARROW ESCAPE FROM TIE GaAvE.-The
Cleveland Ptaiadeaier tells the following
remarkable story of case which it says
happened in that city:
Some six weeks ago a young lady residing
on Lorain street, Miss Ellen r. White was
taken i'll by what was regarded by her ply.
sicians as typhoid fever. For four weeks
her condition alternated from better to
worse, when about two weeks since she had
a severe relapse, sinking gradually until il
was thought She had died, and she was pro-
nOunced dead by her physicians, her mother
alone refusing to believe her dead. Prepare
tious were made for her funeral, the mother
all the time insisting that her daughter was
alive. She was to have been buried Oh sunday
last, and her narrow escape from the grave
is thus related: On Sunday while Que of
the uCighbOrs and the mother we're stand.
ing by the side Of the supposed corpse, the
door which had been left open blew shut
with o loud noise, which had the effect of
so acting upon the girl as to bring her to,
and set her life blood in motiou. She
sprang up in bed, and throwing her arms
around her mothers neck wept tears OF Joy
over her escape from the hOrrld death Of
/ being buried alive. The young lady de-
scribed her feelings during her trance,
from which it appears she fully realized all
that was going on but her viii was power
less. Her situation appears to have been
one OF perfect happiness, except when the
thought of being buried alive possessed her
