nSp We call special attention
to the card of Capt. John Miller,
to be found in another column, an
nouncing the departure OF the
schooner Ramsey from Lake
Charles, direct to New Orleans, on
the 10th of next month. The
Qualities Of both the schooner and
the Captain are well known, and
need no recommendation. It be-
hooves our merchants and planters
to encourage a direct trade from
New Orleans to this place. It di-
minishes costs on freight, and en-
sures a speedy transmission and
safe. We hope that the merchants
of Lake Charles, who are directly
interested, will not fail to give
their patronage to our friend,
Capt. Miller. With proper encour-
agement, this direct trade might
be established regularly.
We are authorized to say that
Capt. Miller will take charge of all
freights to and from New Orleans
and this place, and deliver to the
consignees in person. Now is the
time to send all the hides on hand.
For particulars, apply at this
Office. aa E"aa '-ra" IL. Is

B@. A gentleman was walking
down the street the other day,
when he saw two boys on the side
walk, apparently searching for
something. One of the boys re-
marked, just as he reached them:
"Well, ten dollars is worth hunt

So the gentleman stopped and
searched awhile. Finally he got

| is q handsome sheet ofeight pages,
with q map Of Louisiana occupy
ing the FIRST page, and is publish
ed in New Orleans by the board
of Commissioners of Emigration.
It is proposed to be issued month
ly, and is designed for circulation
among the farmers, mechanics, la
borers, manufacturers and capital
lists in the Northern States. Its
main object, being to invite emf
grafton to this state, will of course
be best secured by such a circula-
ton, but it is a paper which ought
to be found in every family in
Louisiana. It is a melancholy
fact that at least nineteen-twen-
tieths of the citizens of every par
ish in Louisiana are profoundly
ignorant of the agricultural, min
eral and mechanical resources and
advantages of almost every other
parish in the State, except the par
ish in which they reside. |
A brief summary of the contents
of the April Number of the "New
Louisiana" - promising merely
that all its articlesare ably written
will convince any one that this
journal is destined to perform a
most important part in the regene-
ration of our State, and that it fills
a void in our newspaper depart
ment which has long been serious
" felt. We refer only to those ar
5icles headed "The Emigrant
Route via New Orleans" Gland
md Homesteads," ''Pubic I'm
,rovements," "The Mississippi
River" "Rice Culture in Louisi-
ma" Winds and Rain-Falls in :
La, " GEOLOGY of Northern and

Health of Louisiana, - "What Ger

Y. o., Opelousas and Great Wes-
ern Railroads, together with some
interesting information about the
and sulphur deposits in
his and other parishes. a ,n"I
We notice that the edition of
his number of the "New Louisi-
INA" is ten thousand copies. If
is able board of publishers will
guarantee its regular monthly is

ion this number is furnished gra-
;uitously) at fifty cents-or even
me dollar per annum, we are con-
ident that in less than two years
t win have a circulation among

han fifty thousand copies. It
'ught to circulate freely in Texas,
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia,
Ind we regret that want of
lime prevents us just now from
lemonsl ating its immense value
ind great interest to every reader.
Let it only have a regular and
vide circulation, aud it win ac-

ion, and the manufacturing, agri-
