D The passengers Of the steamer
Lafourche have published card in
the New Orleans papers rendering
their sincere thanks to the Fire Com
panies of Baton Rouge and citizens
for their prompt and timely assist
ance in rescuing the passengers and
baggage from imminent peril from
fire, on the morning Of the goth inst.
Had they not answered the alarm so
promptly and efficiently, say the
passengers. the boat and cargo would
have been consumed.
The card goes on to say:
The first warning we bad of our
great peril was the cries OF fire from
the citizens on the wharf, and in
few minutes after the alarm, the fire.
men with their engines were on the
spot, and doing efficient service in
subduing the flames.
The cooluess and presence of mind
displayed in this hour of great peril
by Capts Kouns and Brown, and
the promptness and activity dis
played by the crew to obey and exc
cute orders, deserve the highest
praise-for, two hours after the acct
dent, the steamer Lafourche was
again speeding her way to the Cres-
cent city.

Death Of II. Il. WaddiIl.

Death, that rcmorseless visitant whose
blighting hand is ever stretched forth,
ready to smte to earth the victims Of his
ipsatiste power, has como again to tri-
umph over humanity, by robbng society
of one of it's best beloved and most useful
members. HueH T. WAppILL is no more !!
In all the private relations Of life, as
husband, father, friend and neighbor, his
kind, warm and generous nature rendered
him strong in the possession and practice
Of those honored virtues which ennobe
and adorn human nature. 1t was his pride
to be useful whenever his friends, society
or his country demanded his services.
As a participation in the early scenes and
contests of the late war, he evinced the
courage and fidelity which belong to the
true soldier. Ho was member Of the
9th Louisiana Cavalry, and faithfully
stuck to his post of duty until the fall of
Port Hudson, when he was taken prisoner
and sent to Johnson's Island where he re-
manned until released, about year and
half afterwards. 1t was during his con-
fnement there that he contracted the dis
case Cancer Of the stomach J, which, grad
ually- developing, caused his untimely
death.
His remains were followed TO their last
resting place by many Borrowing friends,
among them the Firemen, Of whose asso
citation ne was IN exempt member, and
the Odd Fellows, Of whore brotherhood
he had for many years enjoyed active fol-
lowship. ..s."
Peace to the ashes Of our generous and
noble friend. May the loved ones of his
stricken aud bereaved household and kim
bred find comforting assurance that he who
has gone before them TO visit the shores OF
Eternity, possessed on earth those great
practical virtues which illustrate "faith by
works." and which can scarcely fail to
commend him TO that Divine approval
and reward which we are taught await the
good and virtuous in the great hereafter

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.-Wm.
Baker, the once ousted and after.
wards re- instated Street Commits
sioner Of New Orleans, was arrested
on the goth inst, upon charge of
perjury. The charge is contained
in an affidavit made by Fl. X. Nixon,
before J. B. Weller, U. S. Commits
sioner. The strong points in the
affidavit are, false swearing on the
part of Baker, in April, 1867; his
being concerned as principal in the
manufacture of friction primers and
tusees, under contract, for the Con-
federate authorities, in 1862; and
more false swearing in February,
1865, to the effect that he was
British subject, when he was in
truth naturalized citizen, thus in
ducing the British Consul in New
Orleans to grant him a certificate of
foreign citizenship, which exempted
him from the draft then being vigor-
ously enforced by the United States
authorities.

hope that the adoption of American
institutions would place Columbia on

mama Star:
Mr. PstSMent-In proposing that we
should adopt North American institutions,
in order that we may rank am ongst the
most civilized nations of the world, our
friend is merely repeating a vulgarism
AGAINST which do most solemnly protest.
We are represented as an Enclvilized Poo
pie; but, sir, if to do what the Americans
civilized, if to have done it before them is
to be called ahead Of them, then we are at
the head of civilization. For what do the
Americans boast Off They have but re-
