We see from the Caddo Ga
zette & Flag that G. L Vallan-
digham lately killed himselfhy
the accidental discharge of a
pistol. This isa serious loss to
the South. Vallandigham, for
long time, belonged to the
Brick Pomeroy school of De-
mocracy, but lately had adopt
ed the proper conservative plat
form, and we hoped much good
would have arisen from his en-
deayors. Still, if we have lost
his labors yet will his example
be of great benefit.

On examining our files we
find that some time ago we did
recommend the more fully car
rying ont of the ancient plan
jn our modern Tournaments, by
adding to them the character
of tire Court fool. After study
ing the matter q month, the
Minden Democrat accepts our
idea, and recommends us for
the part. We have had no
such delicate fiattery for a long
time. Every circus manager
selects the sllarpest man and
best actor for the Clown, and
an a Theatrical company the
great genius takes the part of
Fallstaff. But we are conscious
of our inability to act, well, the
Court fool, and. therefore, re-
spectfully decline the proffered
position
Indeed, after mature consid-

would be altogether out OF

CHILD MURDER.-We were in
formed the other day by a reliable
gentleman of most mysterious
circumstance, which occurred some
days since on bayou D'Arbonne
above Vienna. Mr. John Trippet
while fishing on the bayou felt
something not similar to a fish
against his hook, and on drawing
it up was astonished to discover
the face and form of an infant
child not over 3 months old. Upon
examination it was apparent that
the child had been under the water
not more than twelve hours

1T will be seen from OUT adj
verfising columns that Mr., j.
y. w. Lowry will again open
his school, at Bellevue, on the
first Monday in September
next, for a ten months ses-
sion.
Dir. Lowry has already met
with success in his vocation,
having had an overlooking
school here for the last ten
months; which fact gives testi-
mony of the appreciation of his
patrons. He has had the adj
vantage of four years thorough
preparation ut the State Uni
xersity, for the very occupation
he now follows, and as he takes
great interest in his business
and is unexceptional in morals,
his future patrons may conf
IDENTIFY expect thorough tuition
10 their children.

THE RAILRoAD.-From the lat

been able to gather, sale CT the
railroad to Roberts & Co. is very
improbable. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the chances of closing

will secure an early completion of
the road, are very good, and it is

Proposed Railroad.

is being built very rapidly.
The section Of country over
which it passes is said to lie
very fertile.in the cereals, and,
consequently, a vast migration
to it may be expected.
The road will be SO near the
British possessions as to cause
a settlement of a large section
of that country, heretofore con
sidered almost uninhabitahla.
The valleys of the Sascatcha-
wan and Athabaska are nov
reported rs fine wheat lands,
and all that central part Of
British America, including a
space the size of Texas, is re-
ported as equal in fertility ard
in nfilIlness of climate, to Ohio
and Canada West. This state
ment is doubtless an exagera-
ton, nevertheless we may rely
upon it that the country is ca
pable OF supporting a dense
population ofthe hardy Danes,
Swedes and Norweyans. .
There are now four Paciic
Railroads, built and under way,
in the United States, nearly
parallel 10 each other. In the
plain country above the usral
heads Of navigation in our liv-
ers, a railroad connecting these
four roads, extending to the
Gulf of Mexico, on the South,
and Great Slave Lake, on the
North, should be built, in order
to bind together, in one con-
munity, the Continent of North
! America.
The road might begin !; t Lees
burg, at the mouth of the Cal
casicu, and from thence eXtcld
in a direction north-north-west,
crossing Red River about La
mar county, Texas, and the
Missouri about where the North
Pacific crosses it, and terminal
ing at the Great Slave Lake /;
thus, trayersing a distance of
three thousand miles in "a
straight line, and crossing a
country of the easiest grades
in the world. The portions of
this road connecting the Pacific
roads could be first built, and
would be Immediately proiita-
bic to the stock holders. The
remainder might be left until
the settlement of British Amer
lea would make it also profit
able.
Ifthere is to be a general
system of railroads for North
America, the road here propos-
ed should be apart oft. There
: is no use in always keeping Gu
ideas contracted within the
meagre bounds of the United
J States and its three millions OF
square miles.

INDIAN AFFAIRS IN ARIZONA The
Tuckson 5Arizona) Citizen, on the Sd
inst, has the following: The suffer

meuced the work of retaliation on the
Indians. Their patience has been re-
markable, but the killing of four goud
citizens on the San Pedro, by Indians
who had been fed and otherwise pro vi
ded for at Camp Grant exhausted it.
There is no Indian reservation at Camp
Grant. -Four hundred Apaches recent
ly came there and promised peace, and
were fed and recruited. and thence
went out to steal and murder. Having
tracked the guilty ones to their base OF
supplies, two weeks ago, the citizens
determined to make their power felt
and on the 28th of April, few of them,
aided by 100 Pspago Indians, started
on mission of revenge and self pro-
lection. Early on the mcrling of the
Both they dashed into the Indian camp,
killing eighty Ave savuges and taking
twenty eight children prisoners. A
horse recently stolen from farmer
named Smith of Tuckson, was captur-
ed, and some packages of center-prim.

worth 5000 that belonged to woman
recently killed at Tubas, were found
on the Indians, making it a matter O
