beland, held in Detroit, Mich, it was decid ed t.

commander of the army of the Cumberland
Maj. Gen. Geo. II, Thomas. The country j:
proud of his services and his forme is the richest
heritage his comrades claim. To carry out the

button in Tennessee, yet intend to do my share

who desire an opportunity to add their tribute
in this way, (be it ever so smalD, to the memory
of the grand old General

matter over earnestly upon those who feel no
interest or pride in the cause. Please do the

A "Reminiscences of General jackson and
Paddy Makers Daughter.
From the Memphis Appea'

1t will be remembered that General
jackson came within an ace of having been
born an Irishman, which perhaps accounted
for his attachment to the people of that
country. He generally had several of them
about him. Where he picked up Paddy
Maher, or when he became a camp toll
lower, | don't know; but when Fort Pick
ering was established the general became
anxious to have quiet retreat where he
could be free from military care and the an
nOyance of visitors. He purchased small
improvement on the head of Island No 46,
where he settled Paddy, his wife and little
daughter.
With Paddy, the General spent goodly
portion of his time. Some pretended to be-
lieve the General sincere in his anxiety for
quietude; others that he was anxious to Sc
cure the squatter's right to the island, and
it was known for several years by the name
of JacksOn's Island But after the whole
territory became known as Jackson's pur-
chase, and his name was spoken of in con-
nection with the Presidency, the name was
again changed to Presidents Island, and
was perhaps the first compliment of the
kind paid him. Whether he ever perfected
a title to the island don't know
There were others, however, who attrib-
uted very different motive to the Gene
rails frequent visits to the island. and some
went so far as to hint that little SaIly's
paternity was matter of considerable
doubt; This was evidently unjust. for if
child was the type of its father in feature.
torn, temperament. Sally was of Paddy
Maher. These charges coming to Jackson's
ears, were traced up by him, and the result
W, was one poor fellow got a terrible Gaming.
This had tendency to stop all such talk. at
least for the time being The account pub
llshed of this Gaming by his enemies some
nfteen years later was very prejudieial to
jackson. 1t was even stated that several
OF his friends stood by with cooked pistols.
threatening to kill the fellow if he moved
ne Uenerat gave some grounds for this
charge by his excessive fondness for Sally
and the common opinion was that he would
either adopt her or do something handsome
for her. She never grew too large to sit on
his knee or hang round his neck. But this
was no sign, for Sally was in nowise par
ticular whose knee she sat upon.

Alabama and CHATTANOOGA Railroad,

We take the following article from the
| Meridian Gazette:
! The Chattanooga Times SAYS the Stan
tons, one by one. have disappeared from
that place. and the signs are the second
| mortgage will be toreclosed at once and
| the road finally seld. The Times gives us
the following additional items:
I'VE learn from reliable sources that a
| very bad state of feeling exists ON the Ala
| bama and Chattanooga railroad, below
| Tuscaloosa, not only among the employees.
| but also among those who have furnished
ties and other supplies. 1t is said that if
they are not paid within thirty or sixty
| days, they will burn the bridges, tear up
and destroy the track q la Sherman. This
looks very much like cutting off their noses
to spite their faces, but that such feeling
exists Ia too true.
ION Thursday night band of men, the
number of which is variously estimated at
from thirty TO three hundred. surrounded
the round house of the Alabama and Chat
tanoOga railroad in this city. seized the
Waterman and locked him up in the oil
room, and then proceeded to disable all the
engines therein by removing the link
blocks. We are informed that none of the
party were disguised. but still the watch
man could not recognize any of them.
- This is what the trades unions of Shelf
field, England. call rattening. and is the
remedy used by striking workmen to COM
pei the prOprietors to submission.
During yesterday we are informed that
Captain H. NJ. Smith, master mechanic.
charged some of the engineers with doing
this, and they denied it, but said that if they
were to be charged with it they would have
the good of it, and notified him that they
would allow no trains to leave. The hands
in the shop also quit work, and a general
strike was inaugurated.
During the day Superintendent Ross
succeeded IN arranging compromise with
the men by entering, as we understand, into
a written contract with them to run the
road for twelve or fifteen days. and agree.
ing to pay the hands at the end of each trip
from the money collected ON the trip. Trains
will therefore run regularly between here
and Tuscaloosa for at least that length of
time"
Advices received here yesterday state the
STATIONS were expected to return to Chat
tanoOga last night, with money to pay Oft
the employees debt here, which amounts to
only $4,000. Mr. Stanton has succeeded in
getting creditors to the amount of 81 SOC, 900.
to wait one, two and three years, and ex-
poets to be able to raise money to meet the
balance of the floating debt. In the mean
time Governor Lindsay is taking steps to
take charge of the road for the State Of Ala
bama.

White Men in the Field.
,,s.s IFrom the suaar.BowLl


Since we have travelled so extensively
throughout Western Louisiana during the
past two years, we. find that the facts
viii not sustain the assertions OF those who
saw that white men can not work in the
corn field, and do as much work as negroes
during the hot summer months. In all sec
tons of the country, since the war, many
white men have worked in the cane and
cotton fields of Louisiana. and they do not
complain more of heat than do the work
men on the farms in the more northern
ATTITUDES; in fact, they have no cause to do
So for our climate is not as warm as that
of the North and West, but the heated term
only lasts longer.
For the information of those who wish to
know what Northern men can do as planta
ton workmen we will mention that Messrs.
Waggoner & Muggah, on Glen Orange
plantation, Bayou Beuf, lower st. Mary,
have this year four white men working
with them on shares, and, while they are
all from Michigan and Missouri, having
been here but one and two years, they have
remarkably large crops under cultivation,
as follows: Andrew Bogert, twenty acres
cane, three and half corn and one acre in
garden; John V. MILESTONE. twenty-five
and a half acres cane and three and half
corn; John Pence, twenty-five and half
acres cane and three and half corn: Ellis
have one other hand on their plantatiOn-a
negro, who cultivates eleven and a half
acres in cane and twelve and half in corn,
which is much more than cOlored men gen.
orally cultivate.
All work on shares, getting One-third of
the crop, while the owners of the place pay
all extra expenses during sugar making,
and the men board themselves. By this
both the workmen and the
planters are being benefited, for while these
industrious men undertook rather too much,
great risk of losing a portion of
their crop during the rainy season, they
have come out safely: and we hope that
what has been accomplished by them will
cause many OF their Western neighbOrs to
eventually locate here and secure homes
and sugar farms of their own.
On the plantation of DIR. A. c. Duval. on
Bayou Black, there are several white men
at work, who have this season cultivated
crops, as follows:
A. Clement, thirty-three arpents of corn,
two of rice and two of potatoes; John NJ.
Hannagriff, twenty arpents of corn, two of
rice and two of potatoes; Divide MelancOn,
twenty-fOur arpents of corn and five of rice;
Farm Olivier and Paul Trahan have thirty
arpents of corn, and none finer can be found
in the country.
But these are not by any means eXcep-
tional cases, for both before and since the
war the small planters among the entire
Creole population have been in the haOit of
working in their fields, and TODAY we look
upon that class as making the most valua-
BILE citizens Louisiana has.

Crops in TerrebOnne Parish.
lFrom the Sugar Bowl.


The following is the conclusion of the ar
tlcle which appeared under the above head
ing In our last issue. The copy, which was
sent by mail, did not reach our office for two
DAYS after the paper was printed. However,
that the reader may more readily under
stand it, we will mention that the last plan
tatlon spoken of in the portion already pub
llshed was that Of Messrs. G. G. Hatch &
Bros, about fifteen miles above Houma
and probably half the length of Bayou
Black after which we describe in succession:
Mr.. n. Bodin, next above the Water
proof plantation, is cultivating mostly with
white men, and Mr.. P. Z. Briant, formerly
of st. Martin, with the assistance of Mr. 4.
White, recently of st. Martin, as overseer.
also has good crop.
The POrche plantation has been leased by
Mr. P. l. Champagne for four years, at
$4,000 per annum, and this, his second year,
he has a very fine crop, and will no doubt
make money, even under his lease.
The NameOka plantation of DR.. f. NJ.
BOykin, of South Carolina, which has been
managed for twenty years by Mr.. jackson,
has several white men at work, including
tour very industrious South Carolinians and
two Germans. The young Carolinians are
SO well pleased with our climate, soil, and
with sugar culture, that they will endeavor
to induce many of their former neighbors to
emigrate here.
The Oregon plantation, belonging to Mr.
A: Nerret, was three years ago leased by Mr..
Pierre Despit for five years, at $4,000 per
annum, and the place is managed by his
brother, while he himself is overseer on Mr.,
Nerret's Orange Grove plantation
The Crescent plantation is again culti-
waited by the Bond brothers. The South
down plantation, estate of William ]
Minor, Mr.. A. JOLIET as overseer is not
nearly all cultivated, as it fronts several
miles on Bayou Black, while the Holly
wood, same estate, has been idle ever since
the war. The well conducted plantation of
Mr.. w. A. Shaffer, known as the Crescent
farm is managed by Captain John Shaffer.
and the Glendale plantation of Mr.. A. Me,
Gollam is managed by his son, with Mr..
William Evans as Overseer
The Ardoyne plantation, next above that
OF MIR. Mcclellan, Is now carried ON by Mr.
Nolan 5. Williams, employing forty-si Chi
namen and twenty-five negroes, under the
management of Mr.. James A. Buford, an
DID and experienced overseer. His China |
men give entire satisfaction, although they
have to be watched, like all other laborers.
The Belle Grove plantation, belonging to |
he estate of NJ. III. Daunis, is managed nv
Mr. u. NJ. Daunis, assisted by Mr.. c. Ho.
