The latest political novelty is the action of
the wiseacres who now call themselves the
Legislature of Alabama; these solons, the tel
egraph informs us, have passed bill exempt
ing from taxation one-armed and one-legged
men. We suppose the next class to be
favored will be one-eyed men, after which
VIII, we expect, come men who have had the
smallpox, and then as the legislature becomes
more and more benign, we can anticipate no
ether termination to the list of exempted
classes than red-haired men. Truly "the
world moves"

New RIcE.-The enterprising house Of
Firmin Martin, las Old Levee street, has just
received four barrels of new rice of the stand
ing crop in the parish of Plaquemines. The
sample brought to us by Mr. j. L. Titus is
the best and sweetest we have ever seen either
in Carolina or in Louisiana. 1t was grown on
the plantation of Messrs. Nicholas aud Nor
bert Martin at Pointe-a-la-Hache, and milled at
the celebrated Empire Parish Mills, in that
locality. The rice harvest in Plaquemines,
this year, promises abundant and profitable re-
turns. Many of the planters who, before the
war, used to cultivate sugar, are now devoting
their labor TO raising rice, which is easier to
manage and less liable to be injured by the
vicissitudes of the season.

Who CAN TELL?-1st The present Legis-
lature and State officers of Louisiana claim to
have been elected by fair vote of the people
of Louisiana.
I'd. The present Legislature and State off,
GERS of Louisiana send on a piteous prayer to
the central government at Washington for
troops to protect their lives, which they declare
are endangered by these very people who, &C
cording to their own saying, but few months
ago FASTENED to heap upon them every posi-
bic honor and emolument.

NEw CoTTeN.-The steamer Gov. Allen,
Capt. Smoker, which arrived yesterday morn
ing from Argyle, brought down two bales of
new crop cotton, one of which was grown
in Mississippi, on the plantation of Joseph
Davis, brother of Jefferson Davis, cultivated
by Ben Montgomery and sons and Mr.. Davis
former slaves, and consigned to Payne, Hunt
ington & Co and the other is from Pointe
Coupee parish, La, and shppied by Col A.

A Sunday contemporary contains poem of
some thirty stanzas, from one of its contrib
utors, entitled i" 7ste Aimfe," each stanza be-
ginning with those words. "Tets ar7nee"
means nothing more or less than EARNED
head" The writer probably intended his re-
frain (if such a term can be used for the be-
ginning as well as for the end of each verse in
4. g poem,) to be the memorable last words of
Napoleon Bonaparte at Saint Helena-Tete
dGrmte The great conquerors dying
thoughts were concentrated on the battle
field, and he thought himself surrounded
by his staff, to be once more the 'tete daynaee"
of his devoted legions

A DANGEROUS ANIMAL-Our friend and
former fellow-soldier Archie D. Smith, of
Smithland plantation, parish of Pointe Cou-
pee, sends us the mortal remains of an enor-
nous panther, killed recently in the swamp
nearly opposite Tunica. On the Sth inst,
Messrs. Smith, Henry w. Coyle, Jonas Plat,
John A. Hamilton, Jones Stewart and George
Fl. Smith, whilst driving deer along the
bayou, started the dogs on a trail but soon
found the hounds were after an animal very
different from a harmless buck. Surprising
it to be wild cat, they followed the cry,
until the chase took refuge in a heavy cane
brake. Mr.. Coyle, who was driving, was first
to reach the spot he had to crawl through
the cane, and found the dogs at loss to
determine which of group of oaks the ami
NAL had sprung into for refuge that fact
alone showing that it must have leaped an
extraordinary distance. Walking round and
examining the trees, he suddenly discovered
huge panther, about fifteen feet above him,
in couchant position, (the attitude of
springing,) flashing his tail, showing his large
fangs, and glaring at him with concentrated
fury. Quick as lightning Mr. Coyle jerked
his gun to his shoulder and fred the only
loaded barrel, the other having been dis
charged a while previously at a deer. Three
large buckshot carried instant death to the
brute-so instant, indeed, that he sunk with
out a struggle upon the limb from which he
was preparing to spring. Mr.. Coyle had to
climb the tree to get the quarry down.
Unfortunately the hot weather had spoiled
the carcass, or we should have had it skinned
and stuffed, and kept it as a trophy of the
skill and intrepidity of Louisiana sportsmen.
We are informed that animals of the panther
species abound in some of the dense swamps
and thickets of the Mississippi bottoms in
this State; that they are exceedingly destruc-
tive to focks and cattle, and are really
formidable when brought into a struggle
with the hunter.
Our thanks are due to our friends in Pointe
Coupee for their kind remembrance.

We regret to have seen in yesterday after
moons edition of the Picayune, an article re-
lative TO the action of Mr. Kent, of st. Helena
Democratic member of the lower house, on
the bill forbidding the formation of other
military organizations in the State than the
regular militia, Our neighbor has entirely
misunderstood Mr.. Kents position in the
matter, which was substantially this: The
bill was introduced by Esnard, of st. Mary,
Republican member, (not by Mr.. Kent as
the Picayune enormously stated, and Mr..
Kent's Endorsement to it was only given be-
cause, in his opinion, the passage of the bill
would, in some measure, decrease the
constant radical howls about "organized
rebels" EARNED bands of ex-Confederate
soldiers" secret military organizations
etc, which have so long been circulating.
Mr. Kent would not, as the Picayune states
shave every one believe that all the Demo-
cratic clubs which have been formed in the
city and State are military organizations at
least, in his speech he said nothing of the
sort, and his vote heretofore has always been
such as to indicate no such opinion on his
part. Besides, Mr.. Kent, in his speech. did
not mention the G. A. r., and, therefore. the
Picayune has no right to ask him for any in.
formation sboutit. Mr.. DeGrange, as will be
seen from Sundays CRESCENT, is the "jocular
uember" who should be called upon to er-
/ vain about the G. A. r. We have made this
ST stement simply for the purpose Of setting
Mr. Kent right before the community, and we
are sN're that the Picayune will be enly too
glad 70 withdraw its aspersions, made in error
against true Democrat and a good man.

The SHAKsPEAREs. = The Varieties was
filed from pit to gallery last night with a
fashionable and brilliant audience. There
was no sitting room for those that came late
although the heat was intense. The members
of the club enhanced their fame. if that were
possible, by their rendition of the drama of
the dead Heart and the farce of 'Sketehes
in India. Every scene in the two plays
went off admirably. The spectators testified
their appreciation by warm and repeated
applause, and appeared to witness the
acting during the whole evening with intense
interest.
The Shakespeare is undoubtedly the finest
amateur band of histrionics in this country-
indeed, we know of no professional organiza-
ton in any of our great cities that EQUALS
them. Some of the members are possessed
of very marked native ability, which has been
admirably improved by severe study.
