became broken.
Innumerable little streams have
worked their way through, and the
whole place is filed with caverns.
OftentImes they connect with one
another, and extend for miles I'M

from fifty to 800 or 600 feet. The
entrances to them are general very
small, and therefore can he easily

The Lava Beds, comprise from 80
TO 100 square miles. 1t will be a
difficult thing to surround the Mo-

The Troubles in Louisiana.

True to their instincts, dishonesty
and lying, partisan proclivities,
the Radical newspapers of this
State-the bell-wether Of which is
the Pil0t-as well as the Northern
Radical journals, are endeavoring to
make it appear that the late trou-
bles. in Grans perish, Louisiana,
were brought about By white citi-
sens belonging to the McEnery or
democratic party. The accounts
that have been given of the affair
BY gentlemen Of welI.known vera
city asd the highest responsibility,
conviRces every appropriated, fair
minded man, that precisely the re
reverse of this was the case, and
that it was the negroes, led on by a
few white-skinned, white livered,
bot black hearted NAL contents and
villains, that inaugurated and set on
foot the whole diabolical scheme.
Calhoun, and some others, egged
on these cOlOEed men, infiamed
their easily aroused passions, until
the mass was converted into an
armed mob, taking possession of
the town Of COlfaK, driving out all
tho whites and all peacrable eel
ored citizens as well-entrenching
themselves and throwing up breast
works, and committing the most
lawless deeds.
Was it to be expected that white
men with any souls in their bOsoms
aud sand in their gizzards, would
tamely submit to give up their most
sacred rights-theif affairs and their
6resides7 OF course not. No one
but . base-bcrn Radical scoundrel
like Calhoun, conld conceive o: such
an ignobie surrender to mob rule.
But what beca me Of this Bessian,
Calhoun, and his confederates
Why, as is always the case, when
real danger came-when they saw
that the white people. were also

Hadnot and his friends had not
ignobly fled the field, as they were
expected to do, bat had returned to
rescue their rights from iMnola ton
and their property and household

and bis cowardly minions fed the

to the negroes everywhere, is this
