The following eloquent verses were writ
ten during the war by Francis De Haes Jan
vier, and form one of the best OF his man
beautiful contributions to our poetic litera
:ure. Their sentiment is so thoroughly II
harmony with the ceremonies to I've observ
cd to-day over the distressing places OF lou
heroes" as to make their publication Thu
morning particularly appropriate:
Cheers Cheers for our heroes
Not those who wear stars;
Not those who wear eagles,
And leaflets, and bars;
We know they are gallant,
And honor them, too,
For bravely maintaining
The Red, White, and Blue!
But, cheers for our soldiers,
Rough, wrinkled, and brown;
The men who MAKE heroes,
And ask no renOwn-
Unselfish, untiring,
Intrepid, and true;
The bulwark surrounding
The Red, White, and Blue!
Our patriot sOldiersl
When treason arose,
And Freedoms own children
Assailed her as foes:
When anarchy threatened,
And order withdrew,
They rallied to rescue
The Red, White, and Blue!
UNFOLDING our banner
On many field,
The doom of the traitor
They valiantly sealed;
And, worn with the conflict,
Found vigor anew
Where Victory greeted
The Red, White, and Bluel
Yet, loved ones have fallen,
And still where they sleep
A sorrowing nation
Shall silently weep;
And springs fairest flowers
In gratitude strew
Der those who have cherished
The Red, White, and Blue!
But, glory immortal
Is waiting them now;
And chaplets unfading
Shall bind every brow,
When, called by the trumpet,
At Times great review,
They stand, who defended
The Red, White, and Blue!

ANOTHER BURGLARY.--An affidavit was
corder Sturcken by St. Clair bearing, charg'
ing John FRASER and William Jones with
entering his house, corner of Miro and
Bienville streets, about twelve o'clock at
night, by means of breaking off several
stats from the window shutter, and then
and there appropriating to their own use
one gold watch ana chain, one coat, one
pair of pants, several shirts, one razor, and
sundry other articles, the whole amounting
to about 500. They are further charged
with, after completing their villainy, taking
the key from nail in the hall and unlock
ing the door, walking out, and locking the
door behind them, and feloniously carrying
away the key, to the utter disgust of said
St. Clair bearing. 81.
Since writing the above a second affidavit
has been made against the above named
parties by Numa Augustin, Jr., with bur
glariously entering his fathers house on
Canal street, near Prieur, between the hour
of one O'Clock and day break, and abstract
ing therefrom four silver towel rings, a
walking stick, one pair plated candlesticks,
one pocket-book containing a small amount
of change, four lottery tickets, and four
punches of keys, the whole valued at thirty
dollars, all being the property of his father.
This was quite an undertaking for one
night They must have been graduates of

PIONEER GRANT CLUB.-Another large
assemblage of persons was in attendance at
the headquarters of this club on Friday
evening last. The rooms were uneomfort-
ably crowded with a discriminating and in
telligent audience; so much SO that mo-
ton was made to instruct the committee on
rooms to procure quarters commensurate
withithe rapidly increasing number sof its
members. That brave soldier and true
citizen of our country, General Joseph A,
Mower, was present by invitation, and, al
though he could not be prevailed upon to
speak, his presence satisfied all who had the
pleasure of seeing him that his heart wat
still in the right place; that whether ex-
ercising the duty of soldier or civilian he
does so with an eye single to his country''
good. His presence may be safely said tC
indicate that he is the friend of Grant and
Oollax. The meeting was ably addressed
by General L. A. Sheldon, Captain J. H

BUSINESS IN ALGIERs.-There have been
for some weeks indications of revival of
the staple business of Algiers-repairing of
sea.going vessels and other craft. The
docks, with one exception, are occupied,
and in the neighborhood of the Second Dis
trict ferry landing there is a vessel drawn
up on "ways." The Good Intent Dock at
present contains grain elevator. Algiers
boasts of one of the best constructors of
yachts and sail boats in the country, who is
constantly turning out specimens of handi-
work that are the pride of his fellow citi-
zens and the admiration of all who witness
their sailirg powers.

CRY ITEMS IN BRIEF. - From certain
rough remarks thrown out by Peter Ban
man, Louis Moritz firmly believes that
into successful execution the awful threat
to shoot aud kill him and his wife without
due cause or provocation. Judicial action
restraints Peter in bonds of $3.50 for three
months, at the end of which time, it is
hoped all disposition to murder will have
vanished from his bloodthirsty fingers.
Robert Alexander is charged with an un.
usual lumber transaction to the extent OF
$40, which will be taken notice of on the
eighth instant.
William 0'Keefe and John Gray were per.
mitted to liquidate their otfense of creating
disturbance in St. Mary's market by hand.

The city treasury is enriched III that sum.
William Davis dog has got himself and his
master into serious trouble, for Peter Joaner
swears that the pup did really bite him in
the leg and the dogs habits are such as to
be continually biting other people. Davis
and his dog will be before Recorder Becker

Mrs. Joyce did not rejoice when she was

G. W. Gray looked very blue when the

Joseph Christmas merrily swan his dirty
body in the dirtier water of the Mississippi
off st. Philip street. He did not laugh
when he was fined two dollars and fifty
cents. Nelson Byot floats in the same boat
with Christmas.
Our lively confidence man, Peter Conrad,
will have all opportunities afforded him
next Tuesday to explain how and why he
dealt in other peoples property.
George Washington may be man of lite
rary tastes, but it appears pretty certain
that though of great name and taking pro.
pensities, he is not shrewd enough to cover
up his rascslities. Seeing the dwelling eos
Chestnut street open and nobody about,
he slipped in, and the first
thing his sticky fingers touched was an
album, which he stole away and then went
into the highways trying to sell the album,
but Special Dumas discovered the fellow
and wanted" him and the book at the
Fourth District stationhouse. Washington
was positive that he found the album at
fire on Melpomene street, but the name
Isaac T. Hinton being artistically printed
on the cover, proved its real owner. George
Washington this time told falsehood, and
on the sixth instant it will be proven on
him, Mr.. Hinton at once identified his
property and if further proof were needed

SERIOUS TROUBLES = an Ottt5redb Last
Atglt.-Between nine and ten o'clock last
night difficulty commenced at the corner
of Canal land Baronne streets. The origin
Of the disturbance is not clearly known,
but the first sign of an outbreak happened IS
car was about starting up Baronne street.
1t appears that Willis Rollins, the colored
man who is manipulated by the Democrats,
was intending to address political meeting
at the corner of Customhouse and Marais
streets, but for some reason the meeting
broke up of its own accord, and Rollins ac-
companied by several acquaintance started
up Canal street, and when at Baroune street
stepped into car.
By this time number of men had
gathered in the vicinity, and appearances
indicated that bad spirit prevailed.
Taunts were sent from both sides, and only
a few seconds had elapsed before two or
three men jumped on the car, and as mat
tiers stood there was no, telling who was
friend or foe-who the assailants or who the
assaulted. However, the driver, anticipat
ing some trouble, whipped his mule into a
canter and travelled up the street, the crowd
following and growing larger each second.
There happened to be standing at the cor
ner OF Baronne and Perdido streets quite a
throng OF men, and of course when they saw
the rushing car and throng of men follow
ing, Joined in to learn what was going on,
During this time Rollins, his friend
Thomas Moore, and others were taunting
and swearing at those outside, exasperating
them to great degree.
Several officers had by this time congre.
gated, and Smith lizard and NJ. Farrell, aids
to the Chief of Police, easily dispersed most
of the men, who seemed to be without any
particular aim or object. Whenthe car had
reached the vicinity of Triton Walk, Rollins
and Moore left the car and ran along the
| streets as if all the Ku-Klux were after
them. Officers arrested them and took both
to the central station, where they remained
prisoners only few minutes, release hav-
ing been obtained for them.
Rollins and Moore were both armed the
first having derringer pistol and the latter
| a murdcrous knife.
1t was reported that Rollins had been
wounded, but we can positively state that
he was not harmed.
A man named Samuel Wilson was arrested
for firing a pistol into the car, but when
searched no weapon was found on him.

who wish to educate the colored man up to
true standard of worldly and political in
telligence, or those who would kiss them
for their votes alone, and then after having
used them for their reasonable and meta
rious purposes would throy them by the
roadside to rot-that is if they did not have
a legal excuse for massacring them, for
these gentlemen do everything legally.
The July massacre was legal and so will
the next wholesale murder be if they can
make it so; and they will If they can.
But they are the true friends of the col
ored man!
The City Council are about inquiring into
the contract system of the city. Alderman
Grandpre is about moving a measure that
will shake the nerves of some of the con-
tractors and their .friends-the Esplanade
street paving and the Canal street culverts
will be looked into. Mr.. Grandpre is in
earnest, and there will be a terrible shaking
of dry bones
