The Grant Outrage.

We devote great deal Of our space this
week as was promised to the correspon-
dcncc Of the New Orleans Times relative
20 tho diabolical crime lately committed
in our sister parish of Grant, and other de-
tails of the operations ofthe Metropolitans,
under Col. DeKlyne. We give it without
any ether comment than to say that We
thiHk IL likely fancy as well as fact had
a part in its composition, but that is SO
natural stIhas nothing else could have been
looked dor. That the main facts are unfor-
tunatsly end undoubtedly true, has been
denied by no ,sEe, and we are rejoiced to
hear that just retribution has overtaken
tho wretch, and oatraged innocence alton.
ed for, as far as that was possible.

AN EXPLANATION.

We have been called upon to explain our
meaning in saying last week that we en-
tirely agreed with the resolution of the
meeting held in the Town Hall which ex-
pressed the opinion that the presence of
the Metropolitans in this neighborhood
was producing an injurious effect, and we
shall do 10 briefly and explicitly. We
said then that the majority ofonr colored
fellow citizens were, as was natural and to
be expected, ignorant and credulons and
unfortunately, az it wonld seem those Of
them who are more intelligent and better
informed do not, or will not take the trsu-
BILE to state the real aud true racts of the
cuse as they actually exist.
1t has come to our knowledge then from
a conversation with one of their number in
whose veracity we have every confidence
that the cOlored people in one neighbor-
hood in this parish at least, actually be-
lieve and freely express to one another in
conversation that belief, that one of a mum
Der of other visionary and improbable oh
jects of the Ozark expedition, is to assist
the Tax Collector in selling out the white
peoples property and dividing the lands
mules &c, &c, among themselves. This
is no tabled or sensational statement, and
We can prove its truth by testimony which
cannot be questioned and is Of itself sutfi-
ci, mt justification of our opinion, besides
which we do not believe that the expedi-
tion can ever effect any good (admitting
its object is good oue) at all commeasu-
rate with lis expence to the state, without
considering any of the many other objec-
tions which might be brought against it.
The failure of the Attakapas invasion
ought to have convinced the State author
tiles of the utter folly ofattempting anoth'
er similar one. and we cannot for the life
of us imagine why they should risk repe-
tition Of the same Insignificant results.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, and it seems to us that an expen-
diture greatly less than has been incurred
would if properly applied, guarantee in flu
ture, order and quiet both in Grant, and
Rapides, Colfax and Alexandria.

OF and On.

Since our last considerable excitement
has from time to time and at intervals pre-
vailed about town, and in other localities
in the parish and as far az we have been
able to ascertain not without reason or
cause. All sorts Of rumors have been fly
ing about, and one or more persons killed
here, others there, and Others again yonder.
We have heard positively that the retribu-
tion we prayed for has overtaken the mis-
creant Henderson and some of his associ-
ciates, and we sincerely rejoice on the fact,
If such it be. The Ozark has been here and
is gone again and for all tho good she will
ever do she had better stay away. for un-
less by an accident as before, she will never
again become the prison of another one Of
the number accused, for none of them will
be ever caught mapping again, and this
thing of threatening withou being able to
accomplish, has never yet done or ever will
do any thing else but excite contempt and
de. ision.
What We would ask, cal. n boat cruising
up and down the river do against a body
of men banded together or scattered about
the country, watching OF well informed of
all her motions, or what could the force of
mounted men she carries be they ever SO
brave well armed and well officered, do in
pursuit Of such band, who not only out
number them perhaps two or three to one,
but have every other conceivable advan-
tagei
There can be but one answer to this ques-
tion and that is nothing-and therefore we
say the whole thing is mistake and mis-
fortune from beginning to end, mistake
in the Government and misfortune that
it ever was made unless indeed it turns out
very differently from what appearances
now seem to promise.

The True Life.

The mere lapse of years is not life.
To eat and drink and sleep; to be ex-
posed to darkness and the light; TO
pace round in the mill of habit, and
turn the wheel of wealth to make rea-
son our book-keeper, and turn thought
into an implement of trade-th;s is not
life. In all this but poor fraction of
the consciousness of humanity is awak-
ened and the sanctities still slumber
which make it most worth while to he.
knowledge, truth, love, beauty, good
ness, faith alone can give vitality to the
mechanism of existence; the laugh of
mirth that vibrates through ths heart.
the tears that freshen the dry wastes
within, the music that brings child
hood back, the prayer that calls the
future near. the doubt which makes us
mediate, the death which startles us
with mystery, the hardship that forces
us to struggle, the anxiety that ends in
trust-are the true nourishment of our
natural being.

A PRovIDESTIAL MAS.-This title now
justly belongs to a physician who has
added to the list OF medicines a new
remedy, which appears to include all
that is most valuable in the old phar-
macopoia, and not to include any of
the drawbacks with which the so-called
specifics of the Faculty are chargeable.
The Providential man is DR.. JOSEPH
WALKER, of California, whose VINEGAR
BTrrERs have achieved, in the short
space of two years, degree of popu-
larity never before attained by any ad-
vertised preparation i'll this country.
We have too much confidence in the
shrewdness of the American people TO
suppose that this sudden and surpris-
ing celebrity is the outgrowth of a de-
lusion. Indeed, We have reason to
know that it is founded on innumerable
and well authenticated cures of almost
all the bodily ills that flesh is heir to.
Not the least among the merits of the
famous Tonic and Restorative, is its
entire freedom from alcohol, as well as
from all mineral drugs. 1t is composed
exclusively of rare vegetable extracts.
