THE MEXICAN War.

On the twelfth of June, 1645, quarter
Of a century since, the American con-
querors gave possession of the capital of
Mexico under the terms of most gener-
Gus peace. But Mexico coded territory,
the most CALLING thing to Spaniard, and
that territory in American hands has
changed the commerce of the world. It
has changed that commerce By opening
mines and railroad across the continent.
All honor to the men Of all sections who
resented half century of insult and in
justice to American citizens, vino won
imperishable glory for themselves and
incalculable advantages to their country.
Time has assuaged the animosities of
defeated Mexico. Experience has con-
WINGED her that Americans are good
when dealt with justly. 1t
has demonstrated that American ex-
ample and enterprise may regene-
rate Mexico, and we have now q most
libe raj system of industrial concessions
ma de to Americans where formerly they
wer e "hereticos," and unworthy Of respect
here or hereafter. We have since that
conquest Of Mexico had civil war of our
own, yet so far from the hostilities of that
war having abated, they are with some as
bitter as when the war was fragrant. Some
indeed labor to make these animOsities
perpetual.
We see with pleasure, however, that the
actual warrior, in the Mexican war-as in
deed in our civil war-manifest noble
Of all past differences, and unite
IN the most cordial reunion. The men of
Cerro Gordo and Buena Vista, of the Ped
regal and Cherubusco, meet like brethren,
albeit some of them may have drawn their
swords against each other in civil combat.
We wish entire success to all associa-
ions having for their object the honor OF
hese veterans It would be difficult to
,sti mate the value Of their services, and
adequately, to compensate
hem.

ted to grow up in idleness, or are
'slbowing esch other ID pursuits that are
thought more respectable than that Of the
farmer Or mechanic, simply because they
have not received sensible education.
There is no sense in educating the South
ern youth to become lawyers, doctors,
clerks, etc, when there are already too
many lawyers, doctors and clerks in the
land The thrifty mechanic or farmer
who pays his way, makes respectable
appearance and yearly increases his store
of wealth, is far more respectable taan
the professional man OF clerk who fails
from lack Of employment to do these
things, 1t is this lack of employment,
superinduced by false pride, that leads to
so much idleness with all its train Of evils
in our State. A sensible education will
correct this and give certain employment
to our rising youth the year round This
will teach them the value of farmers
and mechanics, and do away with the
false notion that it is not respectable
to be farmer or mechanic; or that
it is more respectable to be a
starving professional man. or clerk,
or perhaps an actor. And this
leads us to speak of a growing dispose
ton on the part of the young men Of our
city to educate themselves as actors upon
the mimic stage, when they might, per-
haps, be educating themselves with more
advantage as actors in the real battle of
life. 1t is true, this may be considered a
means Of Intellectual improvement as well
as pleasant way of consuming time.
But there may be evils attending this par
ticular mode Of educating and developing
the intellect that will more than counter
the good to be achieved. If this
this rather delusiye way ofO consuming,
time is to result IN giving US an increase
to the army Of professional actors we
believe our young men could find more
substantial ways Of improving both their
and physical powers. The oc-
;upation Of a farmer, if entered upon with
he same zeal that our young men evince
n their studies for the stage, would GER
ainly prove far more productive in the
md than any general result theatrical
life can give.

According to Washington letter the
81 ynal service officers claim that the pre-

nine cases out of hundred. and their &C
curacy may be expected to increase with

of the observations on our Western rivers

EXECUTIVE ORDER.

STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department,
New Orleans, June l9, 1873.
WHEREAS, l. appears tlon information received
from the Auditors Office and from other sources
that many Just claims exist against the State
which under article l39 of the constitution can
not be paid for want OF appropriation. which cases
are e2.stiy entitled to legislative relief; and -
Whereas On the other hand many fraudulent
or, at least improper claims have been in previous
years hurriedly passed upon and provided for in
various general appropriation bills; and
Whereas, While it is but just that all legitimate
claims should be promptly liqudated, it is eq1aIv
essential that claims OF every description should
be carefully scrutinized before being passed upon
I'D 49, b..
Whereas, The law makes it the duty of the Au.
ditOr to investigate unliauidate ted claims against
the State and make recommendations concerning
the same to the Legislature;
Now, therefore, in order to arrive at the true
merits of such outstanding claims, and to enable
the Auditor to make the proper recommendations
in such cases, favoring those which are just and
rejecting those which are fraudulent parties hav
ing claims against the State on which they desire
legislative action are hereby requested to forward
them to the Auditor, together with such vouchers
and proofs will enable thaG officer to ascertain
the merits of the same; and claim will receive
the executive approval unless they have been pre-
scented and passed upon in the manner herein indi.
Gated.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State

Protracted Meeting-Singing School-IWury
to a Child-Loss Of a PAIR Of Mules
Scarcity Of Farm Hands.

The Protracted Meeting at St. Paurs
still continues; and, notwithstanding the
good counsel and solemn and earnest APP
peals made by Mr.. Price, only three per-
sons have manifested their intention to
lead new life.
A Singing School was organized on last
Saturday night, in the new school house
in Pearce's Neck. The school will be
large one, for number feel anxious to
improve their musical talent. Mr.. John
Brown is the teacher.
A little three year old son of Mr.. Rober-
sons, while playing in his fathers wagon,
was in the act of climbing out when he
fell upon a hook in the swingletree, intict-
ing a severe wound, which at first was
thought would prove fatal. Several hours
elapsed before physician could be obtain
ed. AT last the painful operation of dress
ing the wound was performed by DR..
| Wills, and the little sufferers pain was
somewhat allayed.
A valuable pair of young mules, belong
ing to Mr.. Henry Rowan, were coupled
securely to prevent them from making
raids on corn fields. A day or SO after
they were turned out to pasture, they were
found with their heads elevated several
feet on sappling that they had evidently
attempted to cross, and which had raised
up before they got fairly over it, conse-
quently choking them to death. They
were valued at five hundred dollars.
The farmers in this neighborhood have
experienced great deal of difficulty to
procure hands, and are offering good
wages, but it appears to be no inducement.
Idle men are plenty too.
