HARPER'S MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning eur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families IN which Mar
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine in the world
Nec England Homestead.
Yhe Most popular in its scheme, tho most
original of our magazines-Ndtion.

A Voice From Northwestern
Louisiana.

We copy the following manly, out
spoken article from the Shreveport
Republican, and are exceedingly glad
to know that that excellent journal is
on the side of true Republicanism.
One more shot into the ranks of the
disorganizers. Read;
We hoist che Republican banner
with the name of II. C. Warmoth for
Governor, in 1872. We have been
careful observers of all movements on
the political board, and have
reviewed the acts of men, as leaders
of the wings of the party, with care,
and find that after noting his acts,
the dignifed tone in meeting the
accusations of members of his own
party, we pronounce in his favor.
The fact is, political matters are so
complicated, and may become more so
during the coming year, that we
require an astute, able, and withal a
liberal and honorable man to fill the
executive chair of the State-one pos
sesing the administrative ability. with
the firmness of execution to meet and
master the questions, a,proper solu-
ton of which will add to the material
wealth of the State, and to the pros
peIity of all classes of our citizens.
And in III. c. WarmOth the mass OF
the State recognize these merits, and
without asking Democrats, Customs
houseites, "passiveites,' activeites"
or any other ties a concession or a
compromise of theirprinciples, we say
that as the question of who is the
man " will rest upon the respective
merits of the candidates; and as his
are transcendent, above, beyond and
superior to any man of this State, "he
is the man 4" to be the representative
of the people. y
The sources from whence charges OF
corruption proceed against him, con-
victs-if there is any truth in the
charges-those men of the party who
sit in Judgment on him, and az he is
not the law-maker, but the executor
and guardian of the law, is guiltless
but they are the guilty mstigators Of
| laws WHICH IHey SAY Cypress Tilt
people" As he has been found to be
an honest official, faithful executor
of the law, and the vindicator Of the
rights of all classes before the law, VT
will support him as the choice of The
Republican party of the State Of Lou,
isiana, subject to the nominating con
vention.
"All hail the Chief" the mos
noble and able of Southern Governors
"OEr choice" for Lieutenant Gov,
ernor in 1872, as will be seen by
reference to our first column, is The
Hon. P. B. S. Pinehbaek. The politi
cal record of this gentleman shows NJ
blemish, nor can his most violen
political opponents charge him will
corruption OF faithlessness to his con
stituents, AS an able representative
ofhis class, in whom his fellow-citizen
place implicit faith, he will, in thu
next gubernator3al canvass, poll ;
heavy vote, and us a co-worker Oh
the Republican ticket with Governo
Warmoth, assurance of success j
made doubly sure,

There was considerable of muss at
Ahtoine efforts place, three miles.
below town, last Sunday night. It
seems that Jim Sullivan desired to
enter house in which was woman
whose name we have not learned, her
sen of about eighteen, and man
named John Curtis, but the door was
locked against him and admittance
denied for some cause or other I'M
known to us. Jim's ire was aroused,
so he went off and got club and
came back ready to do such deeds the
day would blush to look upon. Upon
his return he met John Curtis outside
the house and gently tapped that
gentleman over the head with the
club, knocking him senseless. He
then went into the house and struck
the woman i'll the same manner, also
causing Her wits to take a temporary
leave of absence. The son of the
female thus assaulted, frenzied at the
light of his PROSTATE mother, seized
i'm old sabre and made a furious
attack upon the rufianly Jim infiet-
ing upon him such wounds that he too
became, for the time being, oblivious
Of all earthly things. Curtis is lodged
in jail awaiting an examination. The
woman is too sick to be arrested, and
Sullivan is SO low it is thought he will
die of his wounds, However great
the provocation Jim Sullivan may
have had for his ruffianly conduct, the
action of the boy was perfectly justi-
fable as we understand the matter,
and we admire his spirit, The parties
engaged in this unfortunate affair
liwere all colore9dl.

An old colored woman staying on
the Brangier plantation, mile below
Donaldsonville on the opposite side of
the river, while under the influence of
liquor Wednesday night, shut herself
up in her room in one of the planta-
ton cabins and by some means set her
clothes on fire and burned TO death.
She was discovered by a colored man
who occupies the room adjoining, who
found her on the floor with every
vestige of clothing gone and life
extinct. We have not learned the
name of the unfortunate creature,
