The CARRIE a. THORNE.

This steamboat left Shreveport several
days ago, with large number Of passen-
gers. for New Orleans. She is now over
due, and her arrival is looked for with
much anxiety. The cause of her deten-
ton is unknown. It is to be hoped that
sickness has not overta ken those whose
duty it was to see her safely landed at her
port of destination. And this brings us
to a consideration Of the subject of her
arrival here. 1t has been commended that
the Carrie 4. Thorn should not be per-
mitted to land within the limits Of our
city: and the authorities have been
asked to exercise their power to this effect

Upon inquiry at the Office OF the

determine the condition ard disposition

upon disease as common to mankind; and
as something tina. can be mastered in
many instances where human skill is
available. Experience has taught them
that it is better TO wrestle with it and con-

Opium seems to be the continuing and
increasing curae of China. DR.. Legge, who
has been travelling from Pekin TO Shang-
hal, with view to ascertaining the condi-
ton of the people of Northern China,
makes the melancholy report that the
growth of opium in that country is increas-
ing at prodigious rate, to the exclusion OF
the cultivation Of food. In one district
large tracts of land were entirely covered
with peoples, and the doctor was informed
that the cultivation only began last year.
Some land will yield profit by opium
greater than that of wheat by two, three,
four and even six times. The Chinese
peasant's love OF. the debasing drug is at
tributed to his being "tied down to the soil
of his own district and shut out from inter-
course with his fellows by unjust Iegular
tons Of every sort"

ONE OF THE MURDERERs ARRESTED.

A Geographic dispatch from 4. Y.
Brown, sheriff Of Madison parish, dated
September 16, informs Acting Governor
Antoine that one of the murderers ofJudge
Crawford and District Attorney Harris has
been arrested and securely confined. This
is gratifying intelligence, as it must lead
to further development Of the actors in
this horrible tragedy. The citizens of
Franklin and adjoining parishes should
continue the search after the men engaged
in this foul murder until all are secured
and brought to trial and punishment.
Nothing but few wholesome examples
upon the gallows vii! stop the thirst for
blood in ous unhappy State. When the
murderer is taught that our people have
lost their sickly sentimentality about
hanging, and have come bacs to the good
old Mosaical law of IAN eye for an eye
and tooth for TOOTH" then may they
begin 20 feel some security against
those who are disposed to murder.
