NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
Point aux LOups Springs.

/ ~~~ THE undersigned takes this
| h&gsSSAa5 mode of notifying the public that
he is now i'll readiness to receive
! sEEA3sEesEEs4 all those whose pleasure it may
! he to seek the above as place of
pleasure and recreation, as we'll
as those who may be mpelled from ndisposition
to have recourse to them tor the remedial agen-
CIV of its waters. These Springs are situated on
the Bayou des Canes, distant about "a miles
Southwest of the Town of Opelousas. Among
the numerous springs, there to be found, may be
had such as are fornd abouudlng with Sulphur
and preparations OF Iron. The springs are very
abundant, and in one instance three of the
streams form a large basin which affords mag
niticent bathing place. The waters OF the said
basin can be entirely renewed every hour, cir
cumstance which is certainly calculated to add
much to it's purity. At the distance of some five
hundred yards from the principal bathing place
there is, besides this, another which is furnished
with an abundant stream OF water, the coldness
of whi ,h can almost be compared to that OF ice.
In announcing tie opening of his Establish
ment, the undersigned does not pretend to otter
the same to the puklic as fashionable watering
place, where fine dressing may be exhibited with
the other general accompaniments. HIS object,
on the contrary, ii to offer to the afflicted a
means through which shackled constitution
may be restored to health The remedial agen-
cy of these waters in the relief of Dyspepsia,
and in tue permanent cure OF cutane0us erup-
tiOns from past experience, now stands uncon-
tradicted.
The establishment consists of comfortable
dwellings, with all the necessary furniture
which may be required at such place, and the
table will be always amply furnished with
whatever elibles may seem best to suit the
tastes of visitors. An excellent pasture Ill which
horses may be kept with safety, will be at the
disposition of such as may desire it, as well as
corn, fodder, &c,
The charges of the undersigned will be mod,
crate, and he feels satisfied that his visitors will
not ONLY be satisfied with the accommodations
which they may receive, but that they will be
also equally contented with the degree OF health
which they may obtain from the healthful use
of the waters Of the different sPrings

FABULOUS PRIcE.-The Bee, in elegant and
resonant French, has an appreciation of the
kind of coalition ticket demand by the War
moth Liberal Republicans, which well deserves
to be rendered into plain, ringing English.
They demand, the Bee says, as their first
choice for Governor III. C. Warmoth; as their
second choice George A. Sheridan; as their third
choice, VIM. L. McMillen. Warmoth, the incar-
nation of q tyranny the most odious that was
ever suffered by people; Sheridan, the incar-
nation of q taxation pushed to the last limits;
and McMillen. the incarnation of four years
legislation that would shame gang OF highway
robbers.
Besides, these Liberal partisans of Gov. War.
moth demand q more than liberal share in all
the other officers.
The prince which they ask is perfectly fabu.
Ions And what have they to offer in returnY
Stripped of feuphemistic and ayasive phrases; and
boiled down to its essential value for practical
purposes, the consideration is simply this: The
administration of the registration and election
laws By Gov Warmoth to the end of electing 9
himself and his fayorites, by all necessary and
available expedient of collusion. fraud or force.
In fact, the consideration which these dreac.
fully liberal Republicans proposed to give, is
only restatement of the price which they de-
mand from the Democrats and RefoFmers.

P We have received the first number of
The South 81. Louis, a new paper recently start
ed, and edited by Mrs. Laura S. Webb. Under
the head of ''The First Gun" we copy the fol-
lowing racy article:
We have started q paper, an enterprise for
which we are entitled not only to credit but the
earnest support of every one who can read.
For it is not the sort of job that most people
care to take on contract, even the starting of a
paper, and the successful manipulation of such
o document after it is under way, Is not easy as
it looks. But Carondelet people understand
that, they have opportunities for examining
into snch matters
We have started paper and calculate to run
it, as the Kansas farmer did his wife, on wheels,
We shall not be discouraged by prophesies Of
failure, we have no competition to ospeak of, we
have nailed our sun-bonnet to the mast, cut
the halyards and knocked the cleats off, and
are now going in to either make our undertaking
a brilliant success or dazzling failure. either
of which consummation will be worked up
with such dramatic effects as to enshroud our
names with glory.
In politics this paper will be strictly on the
fence-NO matter what candidates or what is
sues may be presented for its contemplation it
cannot bo subsidized or tempted into the polit-
ical whirlpool. This may appear strange
taste, but we are much entitle to it as was the
ancient dame who sought osculatory consolation
in the society of her cow,
With these remarks we introduce our paper
to the notice of all who hunger after under
standing, especially exchanges, and while We
solicit fair criticism, we admonish those who are
inclined to malicious sneering that, though
this is good natured paper, it still has clear
~ defined faith in its ability to take care of it
SELF that its object will be the amusement, and
IN an humble way, the instruction ofits readers
| its course will be even and quite unless exigen-
cies shall arise, and then the cape of our sun
bonnet will bristle and every hair pin will be
| made available.

The following paragraph appeared in the
Opelousas Journal of May 18th:
The Courier's growlings about the Journals
having the public printing, have been SO contin-
uous and so monOtonOus, that like the ticking
OF clock, they fail to attract public attention.
1t it were not notorious fact here that the
Courier had made efforts to get this same public
printing, even before the Journal got it, it might
delude some fool into believing that it's indigna-
tion at the Journal is not caused by it's own dis
appointment. We did not make the printing
law, and we sorry for the Courier but II
the Courier had succeeded in getting the printing,
instead of the Journal, we would have been
still more sorry. So, we simply took the choice
OF evils. The Courier should look at the thing
in a reasonable light.
For cool, unblushing impudence, the above
statement is entitled to the palm, and is On
unmistakable evidence that Warmoths Official
journal for the Parish of St. Landry has a very
poor cause to defend when it has to resort to
SANDER in attempting to justify its course.
AS we have never sought to obtain the con-
tract for doing any of the official printing under
the provisions Of the infamous Printing BILL.
either by direct or indirect means,-but have,
on the contrary, invariably regarded that law
as an odious infringement upon the peoples
rights, and always denounced it as such h,-both
P0oliciy anu pflNdtelS,-"e HaFuly lHlnk tHe
Journals statement will benefit it much but as
it has been publicly made,-at last-,we hereby
brand it as malicious SANDER, and will con-
tnue to do SO till the Journal proves the contra
ry. We want no quibbling or lodging the ques-
tion, but plain unvarnished facts.
We want the people of St. Landry to know
exactly our position in this fight" and when
the rule of venalty, bribery and corruption shall
have run its course, as it certainly will sooner
or later, and honesty once more take its place
in our public affairs, then we want the public
from whom we expect an honest support, to
remember that we have stood firm through these
trying times, with, and for the people, while
others have sold out to our opprossors and been
made thereby accomplices in the work of ruin
and degradation into which our State has been
plunged for the last four years and We wish it
well understood that our reputation, proven
through several years of deprivation, by la,o (?)
of the patronage even of our most intimate
friends, shall not be impaired by SANDER, from
whatever source it may emanate. We therefore
call upon the Journal to prove it's statement.
