with laudable spirit Of charity and perseverance,,
succeeded in surmountng the obstacles which

well sustained its distinguished character and the
funds at present in their treasury, amounting to
nearly $1,000, is q conclusive evidence that the
young men engaged in mercantile life in our city
have acquired this lesson from experience that Ills
infinitely more advisable to deposit their surplus

SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER s, 1868.
AcnrcuIrunr AND InmeRAr1os-The great

AGRICULTURE AND INMIGRATIoN.-The great
London banker, Mr.. Everett, during his visit
to the Southern States, made several impor-
tant propositions to our commercial and agri-
cultural community regarding the large tracts
of unoccupied arabic land. These PROPOSE
tions have excited serious consideration.
Rev. DIR. Marshall, of Mississippi, and other
influential gentlemen, from Tennessee and
Alabama, have recommended the project of
settling our vacant tracts by immigration from
Europe, and have prepared an excellent plan
for its successful operation. 1t is not known
in Louisiana what her sister States have dor Q
in this momentous business; but we are
heartily pleased to announce that many of
our best citizens, earnestly wishing the adj
ypncement of the interests of this State, have
been silently and efficiently at work in the
matter for some time the result of their labors
being the formation of The Louisiana Agri-
cultural and immigration Company" whose
object is to promote and encourage immi-
grafton, to establish by actual settlement COL
ories in Louisiana, where immigrants shall
be provided with homes ON their arrival in
Louisiana"
This laudable enterprise has been delayed,
however, and obstructed by Legislative enact
ments.
Since Commissioner Gotthiel's return from
Europe, that gentleman has been made sec
rotary of the company, and his energy and
intelligence have given additional vigor to its
action. Mr.. G. 8 report to the governor and
the General Assembly, wherein he points di-
rectly to the benefits to be derived from a
proper encouragement of immigration, has
induced Mr. Warmoth to recommend the sub
jGct to the consideration of the Legislature,
aud the committee on immigration have made
a highly favorable report, advising the re-
n;oval of all obstacles in the way of corpora
tons created with that object
! 1t is stated that, in few days, the Louisi-
ana Agricultural and Immigration Society will
publish prospectus which, from the study
and research that have been bestowed upon
it, cannot fail of being valuable and profit
able.
The New York World has recently given
the people of the Southern States some very
sound advice on this subject of encouraging
European immigration but we take the
liberty to inform our contemporary that the
matter was already in active preparation in
Louisiana.

The Radical party in New Orleans number
260 men. They brought out their whole
strength last Tuesday. There were more of
them few months ago-about that time they
cast about 400 white votes in the city; but
most of these voters became Disguised and
quit the party. And now these 260 men have
the insolence to claim that they have right
to govern the city, and that the votes of U.s.
600 citizens shall be nullifed in order that
their claim may be allowed.

Noble Equity.

Some time last year Mr. JOHN 2. BROWN, OF
Petersburg, Va, insured his life for g. 900 In the
EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE
UNITED STATES, 90 Broadway, New York, OF
which Colonel WILLIAM G. ALEXANDER Is presi-
dent and J. HORACE LACY, OF Fredericksburg, is
general agent for Virginia, and j. II. MONTAGUE
for Richmond.
The policy as usual, prescribed geographical
limits. These Mr.. BROWN transcribed, igno-
rantly, by travelling beyond them, and died In Ne"
Mexico by disease contracted In violating the ex-
press conditions Of his policy. This relieved the
Society from all legal claim. But the widow, re-
duccd by the calamtles OF war from comfort TO
want, struggling to support by her labor six small
children, paid two quarterly premiums on her hus-
bands policy, believing that he was protected by
Its provisions. The Society, though relieved OF all
legal claim, recognized It equitable one, and
have generously paid the widow the policy. See

several interesting items during the dull

many sympathizing friends of fallen hu-
