disregard Of the majesty Of the law in mot
giving protection to the colored people,
while, in the very next column, it very
inconsistency remarks that the leading
Republicans are more deserving Of hemp
than shot. 1t seems that the negroes can
not be coaxed into support Of the DEM
ocracy, and they are therefore shot for
being obstinate, which provokes the
Courier to Wax eloquent about the majesty
of the law and the necessity for its vindi-
cation. It also seems that the same people
prefer to support white Republicans, and
it is these degraded and vicious instiga-
tors" that the Courier considers outside Of
the majesty of the law" and worthy Of
being strangled in place of being shot.
Hemp is equally uncivilized as political
argument with lead, and the spinal column
is just as averse to dislocation as the head
is to sudden raid of buckshot The
Courier will relieve us Of serious embar-
rassment, if it will quit this kind of politi-
cal jugglery and at once recommend peace
or war. The majesty of the law is as much
the shield ofwhite Republicans as it is of
black ones, and neither hemp nor shot is
o reasonable substitute therefor.

THE OBJECT OF PRUSSIA.
The Louisville Courier,Josanal saws


Our special writes from the Prussian
headquarters Monday, that the engage
ments of Saturday were both far in our
front. But few details received besides the
official summary already sent. All letters
and messages here are delayed. What has
really happened is in perfect accord with
what l have foreshadowed. More than
once the design of the German authorities,
as gathered from Prussian officers of high
position, was. firstly, to prevent Germanys
being made the theatre of slaughter, and,
secondly. to attack the French army in
three places simultaneously. Now that Nc
Mahon and Frossard have both suffered a
severe defeat. a general engagement is I'M
minent. During the whole OF to-day the ar
rival OF dispatches announcing that great
battle was in progress, or has ended, have
been looked for with teverish impatience.
1t is evening, vet no tidings have come.
Though the engagements at Weissenburg
and WOerth have been regarded as minor
combats, vet they are i'll reality, Of the
highest Importance.
The earliest official dispatches under-est-
mated the magnitude and extent of the vic
tory. Instead of few hundred prisoners
having been captured at Weissenberg. the
number amounts to nearly two thousand
Both struggles were stubborn. The French
soldiers stood their ground well, and their
rifles proved terribly destructive. 1t was
downright hard fighting which enabled the
Germans to claim the hOnors of the day.
Physically, the average German soldiers are
heavier men than the French. 1t was sup
posed that the introduction of a new weapon
would alter the mode of warfare and render
the old style of hand-to-hand combat obso
lete. This engagement proved otherwise.
The Zouaves did all they could to check the
advance of the German regiments by pour
ing in a volley of fire from concealed po-
sition.
They had posted themselves in pits dug
for the purpose. and not until the advancing
regiment had suffered from this concealed
fire did the German soldiers know their
proves was to be contested. They saw no
signs of troops in their front. Such an or
deal as this tested the stuff of which these
men are made. They bore themselves with
extraordinary waller during the day and
night.
The wounded have been arriving here this
afternoon. All the beds in the hospital are
occupied. These hospitals will contain
1000 men. The field hospitals are also full
and hundreds of wounded men are sent on
to Frankfort. where is accommodation for
5000. SO great is the slaughter that the ar
rangements proved insufficient. Wounded
men had lain for twenty-four hours on the
battlefield before being discovered. A pri-
vate dispatch from military surgeon con-
firms this

While We had the Dighy kidnapping
case on hand, it was the work of our in
dependent and dependent Democratic
sheets to denounce the police, and pro-
pound intricate ways in which they could
find the child if they we're on the police.
The police stood the fire, and ultimately
made the search so close that the alb
ductress was forced to surrender her prey.
Now that Nathan has been murdered in
the midst of New York, a safe robbed and
securities distracted, we suggest to the
dependent and Independent Democratic
press that here is an opportunity for it to
improve on the tactics of New York,
which is run by Democratic police force.
Let us have Nathans assassin fe1reted out
by the Bulletin, Bee and Picoy,ne, and
they may divide the $4,000 between
them. Put on your goggles, gentlemen,
and go in.

Another sick man on oyr hands. The
Baton Rouge Comet is fearfully disturbed
about the "crisis," and threatens to ex-
haust itself unless the people will see the
propriety Of forgetting what is past, and
joining in a general amnesty to the col
ored men, provided they vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. The quadrilateral instituted
by the New York World, the Chicago
Tines, the Louisville Courier, and the New
Orleans Bulletin has thus succeeded in
capturing only comet, which shows that
its work is too ethereal for the Bourbon
whisky Democracy. We are afraid the
''red hottests' are too strong for the sweet
oil brigade, and that before the moon has
filled her horns, the 'negro virus will be
rejected from the Democratic system I'M

Flakes Bulletin is sound and readable
paper, and generally manages to carry a
cool and level head but it has a hobby
that does not compare with its antece-
dents. Flake is not partial to carpet
baggers, although there was a time when
he looked for their coming with a very
lively interest. He was willing that they
should visit Galveston with knapsacks, to
re-establish the Union; but he is not will
ing that they shall stay in order to assist
in perfecting the work their bravery insti-
tuted. Some of them have stopped, how
ever, and their success has not been to the
interest of the Bulletin. This makes Flake
ungrateful, and in his vexation he lends

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The advent upon the street of an adven-
turous Spectator with good bank &C.
count would throw our Carondelet fnan-
ciers into fever. 1t is long time since
they have had such a party to deal with
and prey on. Their faculties are rusting
for want of use. Their pockets require
replenishing, They are tired of the can
nabalism Of feeding ON each other The
fate of the Kilkenny cats is staring them
in the face. It is weary work lying in
wait upon the curbstone and at the street
corners for chance customers, shifting
position only to follow the shade or to
I'M ulge in bibulous comfort, without
making dollar, day in and day out. No
wonder that, now and then, just for prac-
tice, and without the most remote idea
of arranging for a really groundless quo
tation, bids are made that don't indicate
any purpose to buy, and sales take place
that mean nothing. Something must be
done, if only for the fun Of the thing; and
if by any chance joke should be taken
in earnest, and prices be affected thereby,
of course the jokers are not to blame for
the results of their innocent pleasantly.
Lottery stock continues to improve.
A parcel Of one hundred shares found a
purchaser at the advanced rate of S87 SO,
and before the close of the day holders
demanded considerably more.
1t is hardly worth while to follow the de-
cline Of Ship Island Canal stock, now
that it has dwindled to absolute insignifi-
canoe, but as matter of curiosity We
record its value at from 20 to % cents per
share, the share representing on its face
500. The New York supporters Of the
enterprise have now frst-class oppor-
tunity to buy out the concern. It is
understood that the managers are trying
very hard to start their machine, and
they have our best wishes for their sue
cess. The stock will take position again
as soon as actual work on the canal be-
gins, and there is no reason to believe
that it can improve before.
The value Of Slaughterhouse continues
to be represented by an unknown guam
tity. All kinds of prices were bid and
asked for the stock yesterday, without a
sale being effected. 1t was offered at all
the way from SIS Is 600 shares) to
SIG rs, and SIG and SIC so was bid for it.
1t was worth not over the last named rate
at the days close.
For Valley Navigation 50 was bid,
against 50 25 asked. Par was offered for
Louisiana National Bank. $1,000 in
warrants brought "a cents.
Gold was dull, as usual. Our dealers
sold quarter under New York rates, and
bought half point below. The Wall
street prices during the day were as fol-
lows: At ten, 1173; at half-past, 117s; at
noon, 117a; at three o'clock, III.

up to yesterday was s126,e 2O A. This

DISCUSSING DREAMS.

A. H. Stephens has just come out Of a
literary mill second best for having given
the "credit" of a reported Confederate
victory in Florida to Colquet, when Fine
gan should have had it. Of course. the
affair took place SO long ago, and was of
so little consequence to either side at the
time, that people who have any other
employment have ceased to think much
about it, or to care at all. but in the work
of hero manufacture anything that can not
be disproved is readily snatched up by
the journeymen employed If Colquet
and Finegan are alive, and protesting to
be loyal citizens, they will not be likely
to thank the idle book worms who have
thus endeavored to blazon their evil deeds,
committed when they were younger, and
for which generous nation has already
forgiven them, or at least forgotten their
offenses. So that it makes little differ
ence to the men of the present day
whether the one or the other was the
leading genius in a conflict that never
occupied high rank, and which has
ceased to occupy public attention.
But while tie friends of the Florida
ex-heroes are wrangling about which shall
have the " credit Of humiliating the flag
of their country at Olsutee, an Arkansas
editor puts in claim as discoverer,
which, if allowed, must throw Stephens
and his two volumes of history far into
the background. This frontier unraveler
Of historical kinks "would not be at all
surprised to know that one Mr.. Pember-
ton" sold out his command and camp,
tent, guns, horses, men and baggage for
Federal gold. It may be useful to know
how much it takes to astonish the editor
of the Fort Smith Herald. He may be
one of those imperturbable fellows
who are never surprised at any
thing. But the most rational theory
is that he is of suspicious tempera-
ment, ever ready to assign sinister motives
for the bravest acts, and consequently not
at all surprised when his own suspicious
ripen into convictions by virtue ofhis own
incubations. We never ENTERTAINERS very
exalted opinion of Pemberton, or any other
Northern man who attempted to serve the
cause of the rebellion, but if he outwitted
JEFF Davis in the manner darkly limited at
by his Arkansas friend, he had more abii-
ty than we gave him credit for.
There must be dull times when editors
Of newspapers open their columns to dis
cussions of dreamers.

This is from the Louisville CourierJ0u'-

This is from the Louisville CoTier-Jo0-
nal, Of Monday:
A singular DEATH reported by a cores
pondent of the Couiel-Jo,unal, occurred
in Tishomingo county, Mississippi, few
days ago. Mr.. Pennington, stout, healthy
farmer, living about four miles from 1uka
had slight chill last Sunday. The daythe
fore he was in excellent health. Monday
morning he felt the approach OF another
chill, and lay down on the bed. After
lying awhile he remarked to member of
his family that he had heard it said that
spider-webs "were good for the chills," and
that he believed he would try the remedy.
Whereupon he rose from the bed, and gath
ering from the walls or ceiling of the room
a web in which there were three spider
balls as they are called, swallowed them
without more ado. Immediately there was
heard within his chest a faint sound as if
the balls had burst, and in ten minutes he
was dead. Very soon his throat, lips, and
the whole of his face were greatly swollen
by the action Of the poison. Who has not
seen hundreds of young spiders, not as
large as a pin-head, swarm from ore of
these balls when broken open! And who,
but this Inflated Mississippian, would ever
have thought of swallowing spoonful of
them as remedy for the chills, or for any
thing else

THE CROPS.

A perusal of Exchanges" published in
this State and Texas, satisfies us the rains
that have prevailed here for the last few
weeks have extended over both States,
giving the most gratifying assurances to
the farmers and planters that their labors
are not to 60 unrewarded. The crops are
spoken of as most promising in appear
ance.
We have heard no complaint Of the
worm or other cause likely to prevent
good cotton crop being realized. From
all that is known in regard to the present
crop and its prospects, it may be Justly
inferred that the receipts of the, same at
this port the incoming year-counting
from the first Of September-will as far
exceed the receipts of last year as last
year exceeded the receipts of the previous
year. There is good reason for believing
the receipts Of cotton at New Orleans for
the incoming cotton year may go as high
as one million five hundred thousand
bales.
The sugar cane in this State was back
ward for time, but we have heard moth
ing that would justify the assertion that
our crops Of sugar and molasses do not
bid fair to be at least as good as they were
last year. The usual amount of rice will
likely be made (although the river fell
rather early this year,, and from all we
can learn, much larger amount Of corn
and other articles that are required for
plantation use.
Every year of peace in our country
adds to the wealth and growth of the
South, and as consequence the national
prosperity and credit are improved. An
other good cotton crop will most likely
help to place our national currency on
par with gold, and when that is effected
and system of economy in the admins
tration Of the government thoroughly es-
tablished, as contemplated by the party in
power; what is to prevent the rapid wiping
out of the national debt? Nothing but
return to Democratic rule, and those
principles that are calculated to again
plunge the country into anarchy and civil
war.
