Florida Codes Territory to
Alabama.

The Commissioners of Florida
and Alabama have at last agreed
upon the terms by which the ter
ritory of the former State known
as West Florida, is to be ceded to
the latter, with the consent of
their respective Legislatures, sub
ject to the ratification of Congress.
The terms, as they are made
known by the press of both States
are that Alabama is to pay Flori-
da the sum of$1, 100000 in bonds,
payable in thirty years, bearing s
per cent. interest, payable semi
annually in the city of New York.
For this amount, Alabama will
receive an area of some 100000
acres of territory, including the
cities of Pensacola, Milton and
Mariana, with st. Joseph and st.
Andrews bays. The advantages
to accrue to Alabama from thisp
chase may bejudged ofby the one
fact that by it she acquires Pensa-
cola, with the finest harbor in the
Gulf, a harbor with capacity to
shelter the navy of the U. s., and
having a depth of waternever less
than % feet. Besides this, which
in itself is worth to Alabama her
outlay, it is believed the territory
will contribute fully $4,000 per
annum toward paying the $4,000
interest on the purchase money
The advantages of a more extend
ed sea front, of more direct rail-
road communication with the Gulf
for the counties of Alabama Dor
dering on Florida. are to be con-
sidered in estimating the great
gains made by this purchase. In
deed the gain is all to Alabama
and the loss to Florida, who sur
renders what has always been re.
garded the best portion of her
territory.-[Memphis Appeal.
AS Alabama is so rich, our
community would be glad for
her to cede to absolute settlers
the twenty-one sections of land
she owns in this parish. IF
something is not done with it
shortly the squatters will so
thoroughly wear it out that it
will be but poor property.

EVIL THoUGHTs.-Beware of
evil thoughts. They have done
great mischief in the world. Bad
thoughts come first, bad words
follow, and bad deeds finish the
progress. Watch against them,
strive against them, pray against
them. They prepare the way for
the enemy of soul.
bad thoughts thief he acts his part
Creeps through the window of the heart;
And If ne once his way can win,
He let's hundred robbers in"

q Napoleons's younger brother
Louis visited him during this siege.
They went together enc morning to a
place where fruitless assault had been
made, and two hundred Frenchmen
were dead upon the ground. On be-
holding them, he exclaimed, "All those
men have been needlessly sacrificed.
Had intelligence commanded here,
none of these lives need have been lost.
Learn from this, my brother, how in
dispensable and imperatively necessary
1t is that those should possess knowl-
edge who aspire to assume Che COM
mand over others"

TACIT MoRTAGEs.-The following
is an article of the constitution which
is of much interest to the community:
Art. 1913, The General Assembly
shall provide for the protection of the
rights of married women to their dotal
and parapbernal property, and for the
registration Of the same: but no mort
gage or privilege shall hereafter affect
third parties unless recorded in the
parish where the property to be affect
ed is situated. The tacit mortgages
aud privileges now existing in this
State shall cease to have effect against
third persons after the first day of JAM
nary, 1870, unless duly recorded. The
General Assembly shall provide by
law for privileges.

THE CHINEsE.-For the three
years past there have been a small
number of Chinese laborers in this
parish. This year there are about
a dozen working on one planta-
ton near this place, and their en-
ployer speaks very favorably of
their conduct, pronouncing them
superior to the African in almost
every respect, being careful, in.
dustrious, respectful, and regular
in their labor. They are working
we believe, for a share of the crop.

COoLIEs.-The Baton Rouge
Advocate says of this class of Ia
borers:
There are coolies at work on
Red River and in St. James parish
and a fewin Iberville. They work
steadily and close, and although
slower hands than freedmen, they
are surer and cleaner workers.
At wood chopping, team driv-
ing and blowing they are excelled
by white or freed laborers, but
their unremitting attention to
their work and little manifesto
ton of interest in anything else
causes them to be reliable and
valuable laborers.

True Politeness.

Lay siege to the heart of the maiden you
And, after the manner of noodles
Pen poems, and style her young darling and
dove;
Pay court to her brothers and pood]es.
Give presents, and when you are scorned
and refused,
In way that you cannot think fatters,
Say sweetly, as If to such things you were
used,
You don't think it anyway matters.
A picnic get up for party of swells,
And after you've foated the bubble,
Get cut by the fellows and snubbed by the
bellies
And thanks, if you can, for your troubles
Reduce your finances to much below par;
And then, as If nothing allowed it,
Stand up unabashed, like the hero you are,
Andswear that you've really enjoyed it.
Go bond for the chum of your bo som and
youth,
Accept all his bills and professions
Believe in his friendship, his honor and truth,
And lend him one half your possessions;
And when las matter-Of-cOurse, twill be-
falI,)
Assert to have shown him service at all
Give glorious dinners, send out and invite
Your friends, and do all that you're able
To make your euiSine give those present de-
light;
And when as you sit at the table,
You're badgered and sneered at by each who
sees fit,
Why, VOW, as your heartfelt confession,
That, truly, their exquisite manners and wit
Enchsnt you beyond all expression.
Put faith and your money in railway or
mine;
Believe, with respect to directors,
That honor and M P. must always combine;
In the conscience believe of projectors.
And then, in the hour when you find that
you are
A beggar-with pleasant persistence
Protest that tits, you are certain, by far
The happiest of all your existence!

Great Discovery ofSilver in
Benton County, Arkansas.

100000
Mr.. Mallory, a former citizen of
our parish, who emigrated to Ben
ton county Ark, sends us The
Traveller, published in that coun-
ty, from which the article below
is taken. Mr.. Mallory states that
the excitement is so great that 1t
is feared the crop may be lost for
want of laborers. Already 1000
claims have been laid:
Now that the mines are proven
to be mines, we have taken some
pains to inform ourselves about
them.
At the time this Territory was
coded to the United States, there
was a reservation made, in favor
of one Jose Valicro, q Spaniard,
covering all that tract of land
which now forms the mining re-
gion. Many years ago this grant
had been transferred to companies
formed in Philadelphia and New
York, but we learn that title
proved worthless, and the land
left open, a great portion of it be
ing so still. These are facts that
are on record, in the Office of the
Clerk Of Benton county.
Excepting mere traditions of
old Indian and Spanish diggings,
the first indication of the exist
ance of silver in this country, was
the circumstance of an individual,
by the name of -, having
been arrested for counterfeiting.
Some of the pieces of silver he
had passed were produced before
the Court, as evidence against him.
Their workmanship was rough;
they were not as well finished as
the regular U. s. coin, but the
material was genuine, and if any
thing more weighty. AS the
charge of cOunterfeiting could not
be sustained, the man was dis

However, within a few months
back, rumors would reach this
place, of parties digging in the
eastern part of the county, and
were burlesqued. But those en-
gagged in the work, knew they had
something--what they did not
know-they kept on to find how
much there was of it, being every
now and then encouraged by find
ing relics of older workmen. One
party while sinking a shaft, ran
into a tunnel, extending some for
ty or fifty feet, in which they found
a piece Of wood resembling the
end of apaddle. Finally, when they
became satisfied that the mineral
was there in great abundance,
they selected one of their number,
