With souudless tread,

With its mysterics dread.

Where the dead heart will hang

THAT HISTORIC SHIP AGAIN.

Com. Hunter called upon us to state that
he had read with much amazement in the
Pioay,,ne Of yesterday an article in which
he was given authority for the assertion
that the ship Princeton now lying at the head
of Enghien street, was the veritable Princeton
built at Philadelphia under the auspices OF
Com. Stockton
How the Picayme could have fallen into
such an error the Commodore is utterly at a
loss to understand, for in the only CONVERSE
ton which he had with Picayu,e reporter
he expressly denied any knowledge Of the
identity of the ship Princeton now here, with
the old Princeton, though he saw some SINH
larity in the models. He is grateful for the
Picayne's kindly allusion to his past services
and status in the navy, but respectfully de-
murs to being saddled with the responsibility
of the .. Historic Ship" article.

THE PIC, REPUBLICAN, AND Bull.
LETIN,

The Picayune man is tickled because the
Republican and the BULLETIN are, to use his
own phrase, ''patting each other on the back. y
Now, while the assertion. like most Of those
emanating from the same source, is untrue, we
will let the Pic. into little secret. The Bull
LErIN. while dissenting in toto from the politi-
cal principles of the Republican, has an admi-
ration for that journal, which it is quite i'm
possible it should ever entertain for the Pic
We like the Republican because it is an open
enemy and does not, after the fashion Of the
Pic, sail under false colors. It never hides
behind the cowardly bulwark of ''immovable
neutrality" but is the bold and able
exponent Of the people and the
principles to which it owes its existence.
We like the Republican, too, because, when
venomous rascals of its own party endeavored
to compass the ruin Of this journal it stepped
forward with nobility and chivalry which,
we regret to say, is very foreign to the Picaw,ns,
and extended US such material assistance as
We would be the veriest ingrates to forget, and
which it shall always be our pleasure to re-
member
We believe We are not singular in preferring
either the sincere abuse or approval of an
open enemy to Uriah Heep sycophancy or
Picdyu'se applause

A FEW SEAsONABLE WORDS.

We want to say word or two, in all Sc
riousness, to our merchants, and ask their
| attentive consideration thereto. There are in
this city to-day, hundreds, we may say thou
sands, Of honest white men out Of employment,
who are thinking about leaving the State to
seek for labor in localities where negroes are
not so numerous, and where white men have
more chances for earning livelihood.
The departure Of these honest mechanics,
artisans and laborers, will be great and
possibly an overwhelming disaster to
our city and State, and it can, it must be
prevented. The white people Of means in
New Orleans must not permit it to go out
to the world that they allowed
their brothers to leave this city to seek for
bread for their wives and children, when there
are thousands of negroes here who are either
sustained in idleness or paid good salaries
for light work. Gentlemen, it may be, and
there are many cases in which We know it will
be very painful duty to part with old and
tried colored servant, but this is no longer
a question OF sentiment or Of individual feel
ing it is great and all-important struggle in
which every white man u.s. whether he recog-
nizes the fact or not, vitality interested it is "a
struggle for race supremacy IN Louisiana, and
we cannot afford to lose it, or even
to risk failure for any affection
or regard We may feel for particular members
of the negro race. Let us say to them, we
have no enmity for you and yours, we respect
you for your past taithfulness and we shall be
glad to assist you in the future, but your mis-
guided and ignorant brethren, urged on by
bad and designing carpet-baggers, had deter
mined upon our utter ruin and subjugation,
and purely in self-detense we are compelled to
do what We can for men of our own color who
are at the point of starvation by reason of the
relentless and unsparing warfare which your
people have constantly, for the last six or
eight years, waged against ours. When this
struggle is over and we are all prosperous
again, then there will be plenty of work for us
all, white and black, and the carpet-bag pests
will have betaken themselves to more healthy
and congenial climes.
Let every merchant and store keeper who
has porter or Office man, every warehouse
man, every cotton press man, every owner OF
floats and drays, in short all those who need
labor, ponder these things well, and remember
that as they decide, so will they decide the

THE SUNDAY BULLETIN.

The Sunday BULLETIN will be double
sheet as usual, and will lack in nothing that
goes to make up an interesting newspaper
and literary journal. 1t will contain articles
on leading topics, the latest local intelligence,
the freshest news by telegraph and mail from
all points Reviews of the latest publications,
and nothing that should not be found in a
first-class family paper. The issue will be
the largest since the foundation of the BULLE-
TIN, which is an evidence of an increase of
popularity of which advertisers will do well to
take notice. All advertisements for the
Sunday issue should be sent in early.
