The Pleasure Excursion ON the Steamer

William q. Pike.
The pleasure excursion yesterday on the
packet steamer William S. Pike, COM
manded by Captain John J. Brown, proved
a very agreeable affair to all who enjoyed
the hospitalities Of that popular command.
er. 1t will be recollected that in the city
papers of last Sunday a card appeared in
viting the orphans Of the different asylums
in this city to join him in a pleasure excur-
sion to the Bonnet Care crevasse and back
on the following Thursday. Arrangements
we're made accordingly 10 make at least
twelve hundred orphans feel happy upon
the occasion, and the noble captain
was happy in the thought that at
least that number would avail them
selves of this offer. But he was disap-
pointed in this, inasmuch as when the hour
for the departure of the boat arrived yes
terday, he discovered that only three of tho
asylums out of fifteen had responded to the
call, viz: The Orphans Protestant Episco-
pal House. jackson street; the Orphans
Home, Protestant, Seventh street; St.
Mary's Asylum, Third District. The
orphans present from these institutions num-
bered about $50 girls and boys, under the
charge of persons connected with the
asylums. Besides these were the following
invited guests: Captain j. H. Menge and
family, Alfred Kearney and family, William
Bosworth and family, w. 1. Hodgson and
family, Mrs. William S. Wheeler, Miss
Kittie Champlin and Miss Sallie Travis
Captain Brown had three daughters on
board, all of whom did their best to make
everybody feel happy, particularly the little
orphans.
The boat was provided with fine band
of music and everything that was necessary
to make the trip pleasant one; and thus
equipped she left New Orleans shortly after
eleven O'Clock in the morning. and gliding
swiftly mp the broad river that has created
SO much devastation of late, soon passed
out of sight of the city, and the excursion
sion,sts found themselves feasting their
eyes with views Of the various plantations
that lie on either bank Of the river between
the city and Bonnet Care. The band was
playing q lively air when the boat passed
Hahnville, and the authorities Of that enter.

The waters were still rushing madly
over the Picot plantation, leaving scarcely
vestige Of it to be seen. The Lougue and
Labranche plantations have also been
severely injured BY this crevasse. After
taking short view of the ruins here, the
passengers discovered that the bow of the
Pike was turned toward New Orleans once
more, and those who had not partalken of
dinner at the first table were gratified to
do go at the second, the eating being kept
up until four o'clock.
1t was now ascertained that the boat
would stop at Carrollton a short time, in
order to give the children an opportunity to
ramble through Dan Hikok's garden and
scent the flowers. She arrived there about
halfpa four, and tho children marched
into the garden preceded BY the band. The
children were not content with ramble
among the posies. They proceeded to the
new dancing platform and amused them
selves by playing those little outdoor
games SO common to children. The boat
remained at Carrollton about three-quarters
of An hour, and then resumed her way to
the city, the reaching hare about sundown.
Everything was done that could be to
render the. children happy. They had q
pleasant sail, good dinner. plenty of CON :
fectionery. cakes, pies, fruit, lemsnade !,
etc.; and if the joyous smiles tina
wreathed their little faces can be taken as
token Of their feeling, we are sure they
will never forget Captain Brown, who
never fails to remember the orphan.
Captain James F. Muse, the chief clerk
of the Pike, and Mr.. Frank H. Green, as
sistant clerk, also gave their courteous at
tentioa to the guests upon this occasion; and
Professor Moss, the accomplished barber of
the boat, made himself useful by cut ting

Hon. A. ]. Sypher, Senator from the par
ish Of St. Mary, oalls upon us, to say that
he has carefully investigated the charges
made by Mr.. John B. Davis, mention Of
which was made in the REPUBLICAN, Of yes
terdsy, against the relief committee at
Brashear. He informs MS that Messrs. Mac
ready and Nelson, the distributing commit
tee at Brashesr, have not laid themselves
liable to the eharges made, further than
that they have refused supplies TO parties
living near Bayou Beuf and Pattersorville
for the simple fact that agents have been
appointed by Mr.. Kenuer at both places. to
whom all such applicants have been re-
ferred. Az to the charge that the commit
tee have limited their assistance to the en-
ployes Of Morgan's road, Mr.. Sypher states
that he IL satiefed that not one of Morgan's
employees has received ratione. and that
none have applied. Though the Senator
differs politically from the members of the
committee In Brashear, he vouches for their
honesty and integrity. and is satisfied they
would not abuse the trust confided in them.
He does not consider Davis, who makes the
charge, . responsible party in this case on
account of his strong personal feelings
against Mr.. Macready.
Since the above was written the following
dispatches have BEEN received:
