UNITED STATES SENATORS FROM LoUIsIANA.-The
Baton Rouge Advocate, in speaking of the scramble
for senatorial honors from this State says Mansfield
bubbled up to the surface of the political caudron
a candidate for United States Senator, but Kellogg it
is said has pressed him under and is uppermost
Ray stands the best chance with the RAIDS but we
trust no Democrat will vote for such man There is
one thing lower than a carpetbagger and that is a
native Radical John Ray leader in the old
Wing party, and thrill of qualification in the bosoms
of all who ever voted their ticket would greet his dis
appointment. He stands cear-the only prominent
old line Wing in Louisiana who has deserted his
Taliaferros friends are also pressing him forward
Warmoth is under the requisite age and he cannot be
elected Senator.

GEN SHERMAN WILL STUMP FOR THE PRESIDENT
The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Time.
says it is well known that Gen Sherman is indignant
at the prospect Of unjust and partisan conviction
of the President. He says that if johnson is unustv
convicted, he (sherman) will appeal to the people of
the United States against the finding of the Senate;
that he will himself if necessary, be the standard
bearer of the party opposed to such conviction mat
ter who may be the standardhearer Oh the other side
and that he will agree to stump the country on the
question This threat, delivered with the General,
accustomed and we'll known vehemence of manner has
greatly alarmed the Radicals, and there was good
deal of utering in their camp last evening in

ANOTHER ORDER. - Gen. Buchanan has issued
another order which we find printed in the Natchi
toches Times 1t is to the effect that the dischargng
of freedmen by the owners Of plantations, with whom
they have made labor contracts account of the for
mer participating in elections, will not be tolerated,
and any planter who shall discharge freedman from
his employ for any such cause will be held bound by
the terms of his contract with the freedmen. The
freedman will be entitled to his share of the proceeds
when sold, for wages. The freedman will be entitled
to receive wages from the date of his discharge in ad
for by existing laws.

FATAL AFFRAY.-On Thursday night last, at about
10 o'clock, an unfortunate difficulty occurred between
two of oar citizens Mr. Charles Gordon and Mr. Omer
Poiret resulting in the almost immediate death of the
latter We have been unable to learn the exact
which brought about this sad and melancholy tragedy
and will therefore ferbear making any comments upon
it. This sad affair has thrown quite gloom over our
community, as both parties much esteemed by
the people, and previous to this unfortunate evening
had been warm friends to each other.

counsel for the defense asked have the trial contn-
ued until certain witnesses could be summoned. The
Commissioner continued the trial to the 23d of this
month, and the prisoner remanded to the custody
of the Marshal. Before that time, he will probably
come before the United States District Court for trial
as new grand jury had been impanneled

TAKING HIM GONG AND CoMING.-The New Orleans
Times says that in 1862, Mr.. Johnsons property was
confscated and sold by the Confederate Government
And now says Thurlow Weed, he is arraigned andon

and although the Impeachment is unsustained by
proofs, yet he is to be convicted as potical neces

DEwBERR1Es-The like of dewberres this year was
never seen about here BEFORE and it is "not good
year for dewberries neither" The market is perfectly
glutee with them and purchasers generally get them
at their own price. The Radical negroes who were
discharged and others who cannot procure employ
ment or too lazy to work, have fallen BACK the
dewberry patches for subsistence. Democratic dew
berries bring fair price, while Radical fruit goes
begging The former are large and we'll favored,
while the latter are SMALL dried up and bitter to the
