LETTER FROM BATON ROUGE
BATON Rounr, La, Oct, 5, 1872.

From "ur special Correspondent
EDITOR REPUBLICAN My atten-
ton has just been called to your pa
per of the lst inst, wherein gen.
tleman you call Boss Buzzard, alias
Weak-knees, is severely handled
During the year 1859 and go, it
was my good fortune to have met
this Bombastus Fulioso, in this town,
when he was Orderly Sergeant of an
artillery company. At that time he
was an ontspoken sesesh, a tTe-eat-
er, and negro hater. aus aston-
ished that this latter day saint should
now claim to be % Radical, when, III
1850, lie, with o wooden cannon,
which comprised all the armament
Of the aforesaid company, was going
to annihilate every yankee who
would invade the sacred soil, this
side of Mason and Dixon's lines.
The impression here prevails that
Mr., s. Buzzard is on the make" !"
the negro being entirely out Of the
question.

Iou luou., W. .v-... s...-- -~~r-
of Jackson, was arrested on the 3Otl
ult., and lodged in jail, for striking
u Mr.. Hirsh on the head with a
piece of iron. The latter is not ex-
pected to live.
The same paper says Cotton is
coming in briskly. The crop in this
parish is a poor one.
We take the following from the
Baton Rouge Gazette-Comet: We
hear considerable complaint from
the direction OF Port Hudson and
the plains relative to cotton stealing
This pernicious practice should be at
once stopped, and he who trades for
stolen cotton, knowing it to be stolen,
should be prosecuted as we'll as the
rogue who steals and sells it to him.
Perhaps, if the planters would form
a detective association they could
bring The guilty parties to justice
and break up these moon light per-
ambulations after the hoary king.
The Donaldsonyille Ih";f of the
, 2eth ult., says 1',ao light showers
Of rain visited us during the present
week, but old mother earth is sc
parched and dry that no traces oi
the rain were visible a few hours al
ter. The same Grouth which exists
extends all over the State, and II
many rural portions, where no rive'
> or bayou is near at hand, the inhab
itants and live stock actually sutiel
for want Of water.

the United States, his would be sue
cessful, and other notabllitles Of the
Grant party, charged with being
bribed in behalf of the Creait Mo-

mystery. We can make nothing sat

and pleadings in this matter. Near
ly all the accused fatty deny the
charge. And now comes Cakes Ames
and backs up their denial, which is
also a defence of himself against ths
horrible, but, alas, not so uncommon
crime of buying the Representatives
of the people and the high dignita
ries OF the Government.
Thus stands the issue. Henry )

even my bitterest enemies, force me
to break silence which, for me has

which, ut the hands Of any other

Your career which in His All-wise

long, so as to make it Il burden and

one long and continued source of

lishtened Nineteenth Century, the
greed OF office should make him for

IMroRTANr to FARMERS. Among the
acts Of the Gen ,ral Assembly, passed at this
session, we would call attention pnrt'c't-
larly to the one proposing to regulate the
Issuing of checks to laborers upon plan
cations or elsewhere. Unless there is a
spccial contract, employers, are required
to pay their laborers, whether by the da.
week, month or year, in United STATES
bank notes or fractional currency, and
persons violating this act arc liable to a
fine and Imprisonment. This is II down
right imposition upon both the employer
and laborcr, although the penalties are
only imposed upon the employer. The
poor laborcr unless there is special
contract, cannot receive for his days
work anything but United States bank
notes or tactional currency, which may
not be convenient for his employer to pay,
and where provisions or any other cqui-
vnlent would answer his demands fully as
well. Even gold and silver must be cs-
pccially contracted for, i'll order to avoid
the penalties Of this law.

T INTERVIEWING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
Il the fist time in an extended way, the F. F.
(FAMILY FAEORITE) WEED SEWING-1IA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming 1t to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing ma chinists, and by
them SO pronounced
BECAUSE, 1t took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (NIaryland) Institute in 1868;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock stitch will do; va.
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years il has been before
the people, the sale has been so rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last but not least,
to give woman's reason,
BECAUSE, it is just little darling" and so
easy to learn.
Price the same as any other flrst-class machine
