character. A battalion of French infantry
destroyed a Prussian regiment OF cavalry,
taking its colors. The Prussian cavalry
leader, Prince Albert, Of Prussia, nephew OF

every where repulsed. A small part of the
French army was cut of, however, and re-

We copy the following from the Assump-
ton Chronicle:
Successful legislation depends, in q great
measure, on the ability and tact of the pre-
siding officer. To preside over deliberative
bodies in just, firm, impartial and intelli-
gent manner requires a combination Of
qualities rarely possessed by one man. In
this connection we must say, with due
Difference to the claims of other aspirants,
that Hon. Mortimer Carr possesses all these
qualifications in an eminent degree, and, in
our Judgment, is the fittest man, to control,
as Speaker, the deliberations Of the lower
branch of the State Legislature. Mr.. Carr,
as Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives at the last session, won
an enviable distinction as pre-
siding officer. Thoroughly familiar with
parliamentary laws, firm and digniied, yet
extremely courteous, he sOftened the as
perities and smoothed the incongruities Of
that rather turbulent body in q mastery
manner. Firm to direct and control, he
never himself oversteps the prophecies Of
legislation nor allows others to do so, and
that confusion worse COMPOUNDED" which
too often reigns in legislative bodies in this
country will never disgrace any assemblage
over which he presides.
Aside from his fitness and ability, Mr.
Carr deserves this distinction as token Of
the appreciation Of the people of this State
for his distinguished services in the cause
of the Republican party.

The Brasos Eagle, published in Bryan,
Texas, has this about the alienation, of our
trade. with Texas:
We told the people of New Orleans and
{. Galveston one year ago that st. Louis was
coming after the Texas trade, and if neces-
sary, she would expend millions Of dollars
to turn the channel Of trade in her direction.
But because ours was an out-ofthe-way
country sheet, no notice was taken of our
articles. They were not even copied, much
less commented upon by the New Orleans
and Galveston papers. They were, how
ever, noticed in st. Louis. Now, however,
it seems New Orleans and Galveston have
both got their eyes open, and they Gee that
our predictions are about to be realized.
Had they acted upon our suggestions they
might have averted the calamity that y
about to befau them. But they are now

'Hy0a mean that my abstract opinions as

The following is given as "a romantic
mystery" "A lively, bright-eyed brunette,
who stated that she was Hungarian
countess, recently hired an apartment in
Brussels, and was soon joined by tall,
stout marquis Of some forty-five years.
They seemed to adore each other, but ON q
late Sunday, after driving out together,
shots were heard in the apartment, and, on
opening the door, they were found bathed
in blood. The marquis had shot the lady in
the breast. but slightly, and then fred six
shots at his own heart, which will probably
kill him."

What has been the result By continuing
to sustain this monopoly, New Orleans has
sacrificed her Texas trade for all time to

prejudiced already to the extent OF millions
of money, and the harm she will receive by
having sustained it is but just dawning.

There is probability that two new States
will be admitted during the present Con-
gress. A Senator from New York has intro
duced q bill to admit Colorado, and the
House Committee on Territories agreed to
make State of New Mexico, under the
name of Lincoln. Colorado came within a

This sensible article il copied from the

Tho Directors Of the Chattanooga Exten-
zion Railroad from New Orleans to Houston
in their prospectus SAY ''that their company
fully recognizes the importance to all inter
csts Of reasonable railroad tariffs, and the
disburdening of commerce as far as prac.
ticable, of wharfage and other incidental
charges upon internal carrying traffic. And
it may be added here. that it is the design
ieges to freight received by it's road from
or transferred by the road to water craft,
and to adjust the schedule Of passenger
fares and freight charges to moderate rates,
believing that its own interests will be best
subserved by q liberal policy. both to
shippers and the travelling public"
The imposition of q few cents per ton,
moro or less, for freight or wharfage
charges would seem to be small matter,
but i i precisely this small matter that, in
these days of active competition, deter
mines the route that trade and travel is to
take. Why, for instance should not the
bulk of the vast amount of freight continu-
ally being shipped from St. Louis and Gin
einnai to the interior of this State and to
Alabama, and even Georgia. come down the
river to Vicksburg, the nearest point acces-
sible BY cheap water communication, and
thence 20 eastward by the Meridian rail-
road We venture to answer that the chief
trouble lies here at our doors. It is found
not only in the toll that we gather in our
high wharfage charges, but principally in
the astonishing neglect to provide facilities
for the transhipment of freight Every ton
of freight landed at our wharf has to be
rolled ON shore by hand, loaded on drays,
hauled up steep hill nearly half a mile to
the depot, unloaded again and then piled
ON to the cars. All this handling and haul
ing costs money and causes delay, and is a
most egregious folly. So long as we keep
on doing business in this one-horse style,
vicksburg will remain q one-horse city.

DEAR Stx-1t is with pleasure that express the
entire satisfaction which your apparatus, placed in
my Oil Works on Bienville street, since five weeks
have given me.
Here enclosed you will find detailed report,
which will show you the economy which RESULTS
from the use of your gas
have been able to ascertain with correctness a
saving Of sixty-one and three quarters per cent On
my gas bills paid to the New Orleans Gas Company
during last winter.
1t is but fair to observe that some Of my pipes,
which were placed several years ago, are toe
small, and, notwithstanding this defect the Light
all over my works is as bright and brilliant "a
heretofore. Considering the jarrins caused by the
working Of the machines night and day, and the
immense length Of the gas pipes, consider the re
suits obtained more than satisfactory.
