The President directs me to saw to vol
that he deprecates an aggressive policy
and that the United States authoritie
are not to be used except in an emer

department in which Louisiana is in
| cluded has been sent full instructions il
regard to the course the President de

KELLOGG'S HAIR on END.
The EUesain9 Pcayla1e has the fol
lowing:
After the crack of the whip or the
pistol shot, or whatever it was thai
frightened Kellogg last evening, he
jumped into his carriage and was driveH
at furious rate to the st. Charles hotel.
Kellogg got out, and, in very nervous
manner and as pale as a ghost, inquired
for Mr.. Bob Rivers, the proprietor of the
hotel. When he came Kellogg seized
him by the arm in a very excited man.
ner, and hurried him (Rivers) into the
back office. His first words were:
"Mr. Rivers, / am in great trouble y
"What is the matter" inquired Mr..
Rivers.
''I have been shot at. 1 don't know
what l have done this people that they

clasping his hands in his extreme agi-
tation.
Mr.. Rivers-I'll tell you what would

up my valise and leave the city at once.
The people don't want you here.
Mr.. KellOgg-How can l get away
with safety? l have tried to do my
best for this people; why should they
desire to kill me?
Mr.. Rivers-NO, Governor, you have
not done your best. You have deceived
every man who has placed any conf
dence in your word. You promised
several gentlemen, in my presence, that
if ever you became governor, you would
not commission that negro Brown as
superintendent Of public education.
You had not been in office twelve
minutes before you had commissioned
him. Besides, you ought to have known
that yourself, whether you were elected
governor or not, but you must be salts
fed now that you are not even the
choice of the negro, and every white
man in the State repudiates you You
have everything that men fight for in
this world. You have wealth and tai
ent, and you are a man of family. Be
and don't try to govern 3 peo-
pie who hate you. You have escaped
this time, but this is not the only at
tempt which is likely to be made upon
your life, and, perhaps, you may not es-
cape in the future.
After some further conversation, Mr..
kellogg sent for some marshals or po-
lice, and was driven to General
