The following is from gentleman who
knows from experience the advantages of ad-
vertising in general, and of advertising in the
Courier in particular. The correspondence

BIG CANE, La, June Goth, 1872.
Editor Opelousas Courier:
The crops in this section of our Parish are
truly magnificent. On Bayou Beuf and Bayou
Rouge almost every corn field is approaching
maturity, and will furnish large yield-every
stalk having two, and often three ears. The
cotton crop is splendid.
Many thanks for the flattering
reception the COURIER was so instrumental
in securing for me and hundred thanks for
its appreciated advice to its readers in NV IA

commendations of the COURIER that owe the

Whether the ''insinuations' in the paragraph
quoted are correct or not we do not know or
care, but we have heard it intimated on more
than one occasion, and in presence of witness
es. However, as we did not state it to be "a
notorious fact" and only alluded to the rumor
incidentally in refuting the Journals ISLANDERS,
we think the chaste and elegant language in
dulgsd in by that journal far-fetched, to say
the least AS sample Of billinsgate, it is a
success, but as an attempt at "bullyism" it is
a most complete failure, as may be very readi-
ly ascertained by investigation, if there are
any doubts on the subject.

II has been remarked by several that

drawn from the observations.

A TERRIBLE AFFAIR.

from the Albany On. ~ Journal Il
One of the most terrible affairs that
has recently happened, occurred yes
terday afternoon at Ransom's foundry,
on South Broadway It seems that
about 3 o'clock the helpers were en-
gagged In carrying molten metal from
the cupola to the moulders in the usual
manner with iron ladies. These uten-
sils have a large bowl and long slender
handle.
One Of the helpers, Thomas Sheehey
by name, had just catched a ladle full
Of the metal, aud another by the name
Of Ryan Was about doing so, when
Nicholas Schilford came between them
to fill his ladle. Just rs Sheehey was
turning away his ladle boiled over and
some Of the metal dropped on Schil-
ford's foot. He ran to a water trough
hear by and immersed his limb. Some
words then ensued between him and
Shechey after the former had followed
the latter into the yard, and ended In
Schilford striking Sheehey. Ryan
then struck Schllford, when Sheehey
seized an empty ladle and made a blow
ut Schilford, but the blow flew of and
struck in the ladle Of a man named
Beenholtz, which was filled with
metal, knocking 1t out Of his hand and
scattering the molten iron all over his
tSheehey'sl W person, burning him
In n horrible manner on the stomach,
side and legs.
In an agony OF pain he ran ont into
the yard, followed by some of the men,
who hastily tore his clothing Oft. The
metal had penetrated through his
clothing, however, and accomplished
Its deadly work, there being no less
than one hundred different burns on
his stomach and breast alone. He was
conveyed In terrible agony to his home
at No. 269 Green street, where a police
surgeon was summoned and dressed
his injuries, which it Is feared will
prove fatal.

New York, June IA special from
Geneva announces the presence Of Gen.
eral Sherman yesterday. He visited
General Duffer. formerly a commander
of the Swiss. He goes next to Berne,
and thence to France.
The Heraid's Geneva special says
members of the Tribunal are less reti-
cent, and yesterday communicated the
fact that the arbitators would give a
decision favorable to the preservation
of the treaty. The representatives of
the American and English Govern
ments visited each other and inter-
changed courtesies.
A Washington dispatch states that
Bancroft Davis telegraphed to the
State Department yesterday that he
had on Tuesday submitted the instruc-
tions sent him last Monday to the
Board of Arbitration, requiring that
the arbitrator consider all the claims
presented by the United States, and
decide upon the amount due the United
States for alleged violations Of tho
rules of neutrals during the war.
Tenderden replied that the British
Government instructed him to dispute
the statement of the American agent
claiming that England acted on the
demand Of the United States for an
award of gross sum, and disputed the
claim for money awards for losses
to marine insurance, prolongation
of the war, and other Indirect claims.
Tenterden further contended that If
England In any way was culpable her
commissioners had already expressed
their regret, which regret is recorded
in the treaty, but II the United States
still insisted upon = money award for
indefinite claims, then England would
interpose her objection to the tribunal
as not empowered to decide anything
but the amount due by her to the
United States for violating the rule
agreed upon In tho sixth article Of
the treaty. Tenterden concluded by
saying that he must submit the Ameri-
can agreement to his Government be-
fore asserting to the tribunal proceed
ing, and asked an adjournment to
Thursday.

SAN FRANCISCO, June "a P. NJ
It Is rumored that q movement Is on
foot to secure a compromise arrange
ment between the Democracy and LIB
eral Republicans in California, in case
Of nomination Of Greeley and Brown
at Baltimore. 1t is suggested that the
nomination Of Col. Kewen, in the Los
Angeles district, should be endorsed,
and In return the Liberals have the
the nomination for member Of Con-
gress In this district. Other conces-
sions will be made on either hand, and
In this manner 1t Is thought by the
mover In the scheme, that the State may
be carried against Grant. The Liber-
ais will abstain from any meetings or
other active movements In the cam
paign until after the Baltimore Con-
vention In anticipation Of the CONSUME
nation Of this programme.
Stocks were very weak to-day, and
no upward movement is looked for
until after the Fourth of July vacation.
