D' The Legislature of Louisiana has
elected Mr. J. r. West United States
Senator for six years from the 4th Ct
March next. This election is general y
conceded to he triumph of the War
moth faction of the Radical party over
Dunn, Ray and Pinchback. 1t is the
result of little family quarrel in the
Radical ranks, in which the Democrats
feel bnt little interest. We have learn
ed by this time that it makes little diff.
ference to us who the Radical may be
on whom the mantle of Office should
chance to fall. Nothing but hostility
to the true people of the State has ever
yet manifested itself IN the breast OF
any Radical, be he white or black, car
pet-hagger or sealawag.
Yet it is claimed for the new Senator
that he possesses some little fitness for
the office and that he is more liberal
than the bulk of his party. At any
rate the "sevcn little Democratic
selueS' in tile Senate seemed to enjoy
his election to some considerable ex-
tent. Mr.. West is a brother Of George
w. West, long respected merchant in
New Orleans, and came to the city
since the war from California, an ex-
Federal General. AS one of the city
administrators he is spoken of as an
honest and capable officer. We hope
for the best. He cannot certainly be
worse than his carpet-bag predecessor.

REST AT LAsT.-It is sweet and

WEAKNESS are our only companions, to
remember that the hour is not fal

tired hands of His cllild in His, will
ease the aching eye with sleep, and

The delay was caused by inability to
read Mr.. Spinner's autograph card. It
had been submitted to the confidential
clerks of every nationality, including
the Chinese and Hottentot; but all had
given it up in despair. Nobody had
ever seen such card before. Suspicion

Gainesville Florida) Nep Era we take
the following details OF the terrible
calamity at Lake. Orange, to which allu-
sion was made few days ego:
''On Friday OF last week, the 10th in-
slant, one OF the most terrible calamities
and melancholy events we have ever
been called upon to chronicle occurred
at Orange lake. six miles South OF
Micanopy. On Friday Sabbath school
festival was given at Orange Lake, n
large number of ladies, gentlemen and
children from Micanopy and vicinity be-
ing in attendance. During the day, ana
whilst the remainder. of the excursionists
were on shore enjoying themselves, a
party OF ladies, gentlemen and Sabbath
school children. ahont forty in number,
went aboard Of the small sloop for the
purpose OF taking sail upon the lake.
Soon after embarking. and when con-
siderable distance from shore. sudden
puff of wind from an unexpected quar-
ter, something Of frequent occurrence on
our inland lakes. upset the sloop, and
the top OF the mast became fastened in
the bottom. All OF the passengers were
precipitated, without moments warn
ing, into the water, and six of the num-
Der drowned. Nearly all of che grown
persons were assisted to the sides of the
boat, the children placed in their charge
as rapidly as they could be rescued, and
there the little innocents clung, some to
the ladies and others to the boat. The
young men labored with heroism and
courage almost unparalleled. The names
OF the persons drowned are: Mrs. L.
Montgomery, daughter of our esteemed
fellcN:citizen, John Fleming, Esq, OF
Waoaboota; Miss Ella Winecoff, daughter
OF JACOB Winecoff, on old and highly re-.
spected citizen Of Micanopy; Miss Mag
gle Simonton, daughter Of MIR. James 4,
Simonton, likewise of Micanopy; little
Ida Shuford, q charming and most pro.
missing little girl, daughter Of MIR. VIM.
!. Shnford; johnny Simonton, an into
resting and sprightly lad, son of Mr..
John d. Simonton, of Mioanopy; and q
colored man named Bowen.
Several OF the survivors were rescued

necessary to impugn their ability; but,
in the greatly altered condition Of pub.
lie affairs, we may we'll question their

clung to the fortunes of the Confedcracy
have each sense OF personal wrong to
resent. VII 5h, however Justly enter-

In the new campaign we cannot afford to

rights and wrongs. belong to the past,
