Our attention has been called to two
errors in this map with reference to
this parish. Comparing Hardee's map
with Marshalls map of Ouachita, which
is unquestionably the better authority,
we find that Hardee has stripped Qua
chita of all that portion of the parish
living between Bayous Bruff and Bar
tholomew and the township line below,
being half-a-township; while west OF
the river, little below, all that portion
of the parish lying north of the DAr-
bonnie, being over one-half of township
10, range 3 cast, is given to the parish
of Union. We notice also that all that
! portion of the parish included between
the northern limit oftownship Is, range
1 cast, and the Choudrant below, being
nine sections and seven fractional sec
tons, has also been incorporated by
Hardce with the parish Of Union. II
is to be regretted that map so wei
printed as HarClee's should contain
such defects as these, more especial!
as they have the sanction OF ofhcla
authority. We would advise the put
Usher, Mr.. Steel, to have a revised ca
ton published, in which the parochl'
boundaries shall be accurately lai

Too Much Religion.

There is Il negro woman confined IN
the parish Jail whose case is very SAD
one. Her husband was a deck-hand
on the Lightwood, and was drowned
at the time that boat was burned. The
Wife's misfortune and sorrow excited
the sympathy and religious fervor of
some of our colored ministers, who
took it upon themselves to visit her.
They exhorted the poor creature upon
the subject of religion, enforcing their
arguments, we learn, by picturing to
her the soul of her late husband
agOnized in the tOrmcnts Of hell. The
woman, wrought up by the assiduous
illustrations of her visitors and by the
contemplation of the picture they had
presented of the fearful doom of her
drowned husband, began gradually to
| lose her reason and finally became the
poor object she now is, a noisy maniac
confined injail. She prays and breaches
almost necessarily.
We have heard of other instances OF
religious insanity-but none so bad as
this-among the colorcd people of Mon
roe. 1t has been told us by some OF
their number that at times in their
churches, when the excitement runs
high, scenes are enacted that are dis
gushing to attendants Ofthcir own color
Tho preacher has been heard to recount
in all solemnity and sincerity the Incl
dents of a personal visit to hell, giving
a full history of his trip to see ol<
Scratch. In fact, there is materlallt!
and personality about their mode O
worship and religious belief, as OK
planned to us by people of their ow'
color, which is shocking to contempiat
and convincing that we have tn
heather in our very midst.
