BATTLE OF SALINAs.--A Jolon cores
pondent of the Santa Cruz Zeal. Senti-
mel writes as follows: 81 arrived in the
town OF Monterey on the ID of October,
1913, in the Mexican schooner Soledad,
and left her there The bat
tie OF the Salinas was fought on the 18th
OF November, 1876, and the day Col. Free
mont marched out Of Monterey, was ON
the goth, 1876, forhe was not in the fight
himself, though some of his men were;
that is to say, the men who were coming
down the country to join him. Captain
Foster, his Lieutenant, and eleven others,
were killed in the oaks. On the evening
of the day Col. Fremont's command left
Monterey, Capt. Maddox sent around o
patrol and took all the liquor from the
saloons, with the exception OF Don Jose
Abrego's, Watson's and Job F. DYES.
speak feelingly of this subject, as the
liquor was not so strong when it was re-
turned as it was before it went; and it
lost In quantity as well as in quality by
the journey" lNAEf III NJ l.
The battle of the Salinas was the only
disastrous fight, in California, during the
struggle for American rule. On the 9Th
of January, 1S47, the battle of the Mesa
was fought, and San Gabriel on the 9th,
which gave the Americans possession Of
Los Angeles and all Southern California.
About the 9th ofJsnuary, General Kear.
ney arrived, and fought the battle or
siege of San Pascual, which ended the
contest and restored peace. General Cas-.
trc surrendered in April, 1S47.
The result of the suit brought in this
city, by colored man. to recover 1929
damages against saloon keeper, who
refused, because of his color, to sell him
drink OF intoxicating liquor, is awaited
with interest by the civilized world. Our
feelings of propriety, the traditional
ideas of Caucasian dignity, and even the
idea that this is white mans country,
would be seriously wounded by decis-
ion that the two colors may get drunk
together. 1t is proper enough that the
white and black should be bred together,
that they should have the same nurse,
that they should use the same milk bot
tie. that they should go to the polls to-
gether, that they should die together,
that they should go to heaven together;
but as to their drinking gin together
that is too much. Let us be saved from
such violation Of our most sacred ira
ditions.-[S. F. Alta.

The "Teyas Fever. y

The Ploridian prints a letter
from Rev. DR.. Leonard, who
has just returned from Texas.
MIR. Leonard says: "1 do not

than raise your warning voices
against that restless spirit
which is causing SO many of
our citizens in Florida and
South Georgia to leave COM

Texas. That country will not
suit one in ten of our citizens
who have lived here a few
years. / have met with none
who was satisfied with their
move, who have recently gone
to Texas" The Quincy Jour-
nal gives the following expert
ence of another repenrant:
"Some time ago a young man
from this county went to
Texas, and returning hugged
the first pine tree he came
across, exclaiming God bless

Alcihiades De Blanc.

FROM Tue new OTledus lcFdiu.J
This gentleman, who is men
toned as the commander of the
party which resisted the inva-
sion of Kellogg's janizaries in
st Martin parish, has been
justly designated the Chivalier
Bayard of Louisiana. No more
gallant, sincere and devoted
patriot; no higher-toned gen
tleman no truer Louisianian
lives than this long universally
honored native of Attakapas.
Of fine natural gifts, mental
and moral, largely cultivated
by reading and study, an able
jurist, and ardent patriot, firm
but dignified in his bearing,
infiexible in his resistance to
to every form of wrong, dishon-
est and oppression, we cannot
be surprised that Mr.. De Blanc
should WELD the great influ>
ence he does through the Alta
kapas parishes.
Among the creoles which
constitute the body of the pop
ulation in this region, he has
always been looked upon as a
leader and a chief.
| Mr.. De Blanc was a distin.
guished officer in the Confed.
crate army, and commanded
with marked ability and brill
liant personal gallantry one o
the Louisiana regiments
through the whole of the war
He is not, however, a rich, i'm
prudent or reckless man, who
would precipitate a confic
without just cause and provo
cation. But he is emphaticai,
ly of that class "who know
their rights, and knowing dar,
maintain them" r.t a--

Army Of Republic, or Empire:

From the Norfolk Virginian.l -.
The Ninth Army Corps has
recently held a grand reunion
in New Haven, which ON the
last evening of its continuance
was to be embelished by the
presence of General Grant,
Sherman, and other military
dignitaries. Among the toasts
offered, the last was to the
Grand Army of the Republic,
which was responded to by a.
gentleman "who urged "a
hearty support of the Order" "
The orator used a very signifi-.
can't word when he employed
that with which he ended his
sentence. The Army of the
Republic is an order, and a
secret political one at that,
standing to-day in the midst OF
the United States ready to take
the field at a moments notice.
1t is uncompromising in its
Radicalism, and all the War
Department has to do when it
desires to use this body of men,
is to arm them from the arse
nails of the country.
The time was when the Or
der of the Cincinnati, with
General Washington at its
head-a military society form
ed for purely benevolent pur-
poses, whose constitution was
published to the world-could
not stand up against the jeal-
ousY of a free people; but now
an organization, secret, militia
ry, and political in its charac-
ter, flourishes in every commu,
atty in the land, and attracts
little more attention than the
benevolent societies of the
country.
When the time comes for oul
Caesar to ascend the Lupreca
there will be no putting away
of the crown, and the Army o.
the Republic will not be lcns
in changing into the Army o
the Empire. gaeryEl3 st

Grant as a Physician,

From the st, Louis Republican, 518g
The New York Times is con-
vinced that President Grant
"has done the only thing that
was left him to do in the Lou.
isiana matter" --a2a
1t is an apologetic preface to
a remark which, when stripped
of the euphemism peculiar to
organs, means that the Presi-
dents obstinate habit of per-
sonal government is the cause
of the evils his proclamation is
to cure-that, in fact, the Pres
ident is not only "h-l on fits, =
but that he has himself thrown
the patient into fits The
Times expresses it thus:r. q
"Yet we assure the Presi-
dent that the country is not
blind to the fact that his own
appointees in Louisiana are, tc
a lamentable extent, respensi,
bic for the bitterness ana con.
fusion which prevail there, anC
that had he, in 1871, as we ther
urged him to do, removed
Messrs. Casey and Packard
and compelled their associate
and successors to keep out o
State politics altogether, hi
present action would eithe
never have been required, OF
! if required, it would have com
with a much better grace"

Too Much Credit.

AVV MuGu S4SO1t'
Mr.. Keene, a shrewd and thrifty
farmer of Allenborough, says the
Pittsburgh Chronicle, owned
large flock of sheep, and one au-
tumn, when it came housing time,
he was greatly annoyed upon mis-
sing number of his finest NUT
ton, among them three or four
w1thers which he raised and fat
tened for his own table. He was
sure it was not the work of dogsS
and the most he could do was to
await further developments. sra
In the following spring, when
his sheep were tnrned out to
pasture, he instituted careful
watch, and ere long he detected
Tom Stickney, a neighboring
farmer, in the act of pilfering
sheep; but he made no noise about
it at the time. Stickney was
man well to do, and Keene did
not care to expose him. 81
Autumn came again, and upon
connting up his flock, Mr.. Keene =
found eight sheep missing. He
made out his bill in due form to
Thomas Stickney for the eight
sheep and presented it. Stickney
choked and stammered, but did
not back down. Like a prudent
man, he paid the bill and pocket
ed the receipt.
Another springtime came, and
Mr.. Keene's sheep were. again
turned out. Another autumn
came, and the farmer again took
an account of his stock, and this
time fifteen sheep were missing.
AS before, he made out the bill to
| Tom Stickney for the whole mum.
Der missing; but this time Tom
objected. ---
1T is too much ola good thing"
said he. Fifteen sheep! Why
bless your soul,I hadn't had
fifth part of 'em.'
!. Mr.. Keenc was inexorable.
"There is the bill," said he, "and
1 have made it out in good faith.
I have made no fuss when my
sheep have been missing, because
/ deemed your credit good and
sufficient rr Es.rTru r,
SWELL" groaned Tom, with a
! big gulp, 81 supposs must pay;

The Broken Canal
THE VESSELS RLoArED oUr-THE CANAL OPEN AT
BOTH ENDS.

THE VESSELS FLoATED oUr-THE CANAL OPEN AT
BOTH ENDS.
During the closing days of last week, the water
was raised to sufficient height on the meadow
at st. Georges to float all the boats lying there,
and they have all been removed. With the ex-
ception of two or three vessels which were lying
farthest up the ravine all the boats in the upper
meadow have been let out into the canal and these,
Yesterday were being toWed down to the breach
in order to get through. The canal boats which
were 80 jammed in one OF the breaches OF the
banks have also been removed, and even that
vessel which was lying up in Mr. Newton's corn
field has been pulled down into the canal and
left for other parts The entire fleet OF boats
have departed, aud their repairs will cause q
temporary activity in the wooden ship yards.
Dredging machines have been admitted into the
canal from both ends and are vigorously work.
ing away at the removal OF the sand from the
bed Of the canal. A very large force Of lAborers
is at work-as large as can be worked to advan-
tage, but the progress is not very rapid, owing
TO the immense amount of work to be done.
Opinion is divided as to the time the canal will
be re opened some saying by October 1st and
theirs by October 18th. From present indica-
tions the latter prediction seems to be more
nearly the correct one.
The scenes of the disaster along the canal are
vet places of interest for the people down the
State, and yesterday many persons were to be
seen all along the line.
At the Railroad crossing shanties have baen
erected for the laborers, and the number Of them
is 10 great that it reminds one very much OF d
settlement en- the frontier.
