; says:
Our citizens, well knowing their innocence
and their utter Inability 10 OBTAIN anything
save abuse and outrage at the hans of the par
tisan leader leaders OF the United States SOL
diery in this State, are well nigh driven to
desperation. In their patient forbearance
and endurance of the repeated insults
heaped upon them, they have left their homes,
their families and everything sacred and dear
to them, in the hope that through some pro-
vidential interposition relief might be af-
forded. But after abandoning home, prop
erty and family, they feel, and if they be
human must feel, that they have taken the
last step in their power to avert the storm that
is rising in our horizon. When they have
thus abandoned their all, denied themselves
the comforts and consultations of all inter-
course with their families, it would seem that
even the tyrant would be satisfied: but in the
parish Of Lincoln we are informed by . gen.
tleman Of irreproaohable character for veraci-
ty, that the U. S. cavalry under the monster
Seelye, visited the retired residence Of one Of
the most peaceful citizens Of the parish,
forced their way into the house and into the
wife's bedroom, and after finding the owner
absent from home, inquired of his wife where
he might be found, and upon her refusal to
give information OF the whereabouts of her
husband, soldier in the uniform Of the
United States, and under command of the
monster Seelye, cursed and abused her in the
most obscene language. and, with loaded
six shooter cooked and pointed at her breast,
| threatened to take her lite unless she gave the
desired information.
We are told that we cannot defend ourselves
against these abuses without mourning the
wrath of the National Government, without
subjecting ourselves to the terrors Of the
sword, but we feel that submission to such
abuses and Outrages are eXterminating the
white citizens OF the State and driving them
homeless and friendless into distant States to
seek the quiet and protection of other govern
ments; but even this IS not practicable, for all
cannot thus quit the State and rid themselves
by flight Of the terrors Of this illegitim.te
government. It is therefore apparent to the
dullest comprehension that something must
oe done, and that speedily, or else what has
been predicted Of this State months ago must
inevitably result; the reduction Of the State
to q military camp, and the Inauguration of
guerrilla warfare that mast bring not only this
State but others to grief.
The Estate Of n Man who was Poisoned by his
Beautiful; Creole Vile.
lFrom the New Haven Palladium, Nov. A.
One NJ BARITONE, widower, Of New Or

The father settled in Brooklyn, and after
aulassing a large property died, leaving the
bulk Of it in trust for his children. These

killed him. The children, some months since,
learned that the Creole wife, after living some
time IN Paris, had returned to New Orleans,
and that she had died there in 1873. They
therefore applied TO the firm Of A. D. & Z. L.
