PROJECTED MURDER OF JET
FERsON DAVIs.-Since the pas
sage of the act in the United
States Senate, authorizing the
impanneling of juries in the Uni
ted States Courts of men who
have already expressed an opin-
ion in the case they are about to
try, and made up their minds in
relation to it, which act was de-
signed especially to hang JEFFER-
SON DAVIS, his friends have be-
come alarmed, and advised him
to disregard his bail and flee the
country. The New York News
SO advises him. So does the No
bile (Ala.) Register.

u Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. Never in the
history of our country was vigi-
lance more necessary than to day.
Each opponent of the destruc-
tive heresies of Radicalism should
at once consider himself detailed
for guard duty, and desert not his
post for an instant SO long as the
buggle-calls of the enemy are
heard at the portals of the temple
of liberty. The gap caused by
the absence of one sentinel may
leave open a gate for a hostile
army to march through. ua

TRUE AS PREACHING.-At a
recent public school exhibition in
a village in Michigan, one of the
visitors made the boys a brief
| speech, in which, among other
things, he counselled them to be
'1oyal." To emphasize this point,
he called their attention to Ma
tional flag, spread on one side OF
the room, and inquired: "Boys,
what is that flag for p A little ur-
chin promptly answered, 'To COW
er up the dirt, sir"
There was a sprinkle of truth
in that answer. The United States
flag, like charity and many other
virtues, has been made to cover a
multitude of sins. It is no novel
ty for men to ''steal the livery of
heaven to serve the devil inn
Like the cry of the Mussulman
green grocers I'm the name of the
prophet, figs" that of 'loyalty"
has been used to help the sale, at
double prices, of doubtful goods,
wares and merchandise. In it's
name have been committed the
most astounding frauds on the
public Treasury. Scamps and
scoundrels have, under cover of
the flag, crept into honorable and
lucrative offices. 1t has been
time and again held up as a shield
by rascals, when threatened with
exposure for betraying public
trusts, and robbing their fellow
citizens. That flag is the banner
which is impudently Haunted over
the heads of a gang of rogues and
ruffians who are engagedin strang-
ling the liberties of the Republic.
The alag of freedom is desecra-
ted. BY being hung out over the
barracks and bastiles of the mill.
tary tools of lawless despotism.
Under it the American people are
decoyed to march to their own
destruction. The danger now is
that it will, in the next genera
tion, become no more the symbol
of republican freedom than was
the Roman Senate a representa-
tive of the old Commonwealth in
the time of the Caesars. The |
Michigan school-boy was not so
far out Of the way when he in
formed his instructor that the |
American flag was made to "cov-
er up the dirt, sir.-[St. Louis Re |

% A writer in the Clinton
Patriot recommends planters to
donate small tracts of their lands

not adopt it. They prefer to wait

that planters could desire for the
last week. We have had it uni
formly warm with occasional
clouds and sunshine. Our infor-
nation from two reliable sources
lis, that the crops both Of corn and
cotton, are looking finely on Sicily
Island and the Black and Little
rivers in this parish.
The chintz bug has been COM
mitting more or less damage upon
the growing corn but with the
cessation of the rains they have
decreased Harrisonburg New
Era, 9th.
u From the country east of
this city, we learn that the crops
are coming ON finely. AS large a
breadth of land is in cultivation
as planted last year, but the pro-
portion of corn, potatoes, tobacco
and rice is greater. Along the
Amite nearly every farmer has
planted small quantities of cane
and there is fair prospect for a
crop of sugar in the fall Of '69.
In Livingston, st. Helena and
East and West Feliciana, corn
and cotton are doing well. Along
the coast where the back water
from the Grand Levee crevasse
has not interfered, corn cane and
cotton are thriving. There is but
a small proportion of land in cot
ton, however, on the coast.
The cane, plant and stubble is
doing well and there is a fine
stand on the few places planted
for crops of sugar.-[B. r. Advo-

% The crops promise pretty
well. The only complaints we
have heard, come from the sugar
planters. They, in general, COM

IMPRovEMENTs.-Very little in
the way Of building is going on in
this city and its vicinity. The
reason for this is sobvious-the un-
settled condition of our political
affairs! Those who are able to
build prefer to keep their means
boarded up rather than invest in
improvements. The consequences
are, the workmen are all idle, or
at the best, doing but little and
the work in briek-yards and saw
mills stopped. Large quantities
of lumber are accumulating and
no market for it. This state of
affairs will continue to exist until
the confidence of the people is re-
stored, and that is not likely to
happen while the Radicals remain
in power. Approach a man who
has the means and would really
liketo invest it, and ask him why
he does not build to enhance the
value of his property, and you at
once get for an answer, "not until
| see how things are going" The
present condition of the country
is sad blow to our growth and
prosperity and God only knows
when it change for the better.

u During the week we have
enjoyed some delightful weather,
which has good effect on the
crops. The corn looks healty and
is growing rapidly; in fact, a more
fattering prospect has not been

years. If no disasters befaI it,
the yield will be the largest known
in our parish since 1866. The cot

We wish to call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement headed Purify Your Blood, to all the articles mentioned in it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have friends suffering from sickness. should care fully read, and we know they will derive pro fit from it. 1t gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to our peo- pie these remedies, as years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley's Sarsaparilla the Great Blood Purifier, needs only to be tried to be fully appreciated His Bitters, (Iiurley's are the best and purest now offered for sale. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used. Hurley's Ague Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails 10 cure if used by directions Try it. Also his Worm Candy, (Ilmley's,) cannot be equalled; any child will take it. So il is with Dr. seabrooks Soothing Syrup. the best and safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle. and in future you will get no other. Also Dr. Scabrook's Elixir of psrophcsphate of iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng. Horse Liniment, and James Puddle X Co.'S Ext. Jam, Ginger. All the above remedies arc uneuualled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not as well be taken in the special diseases for which they are recon nended, with as much confidence as the pre- scription of q regular physician.
