HENRY NJ. STANLEY, the distinguished
correspondent and adventurer, rs with
the English forces on the coast of Africa,
sent to punish the King of Ashantee.
He is still in the service of the New
York Herald, which is the most enter
prising paper in the world, and is writing
very racy and interesting letters Of what
he has seen in that far off region. He
is furnished with q steamer by the
Herald for his own use and every facility
that money will buy to aid him in his
observations. 1t is a good thing to be
the favored correspondent of such a
paper when one has taste for the life.

My farm is in town of Saratoga.
Yours truly,

Although manufacturers generally complain and

Their connections have now extended even to the

To DE Editor Of dle Commercial
Your issue Of last evening contained COM
munication from the Rugby T. B. Club, wherein
they made grave charges against us, which we
can provo untrue in almost every respect. In
the first place, they say that the preliminaries
we're all settled several days previous to the 18th
inst. which is untrue. First, regards the ball:
we being the challenged party had the right to
select 1t. The Captain did not decide what ball
we were to play with, their Captain saying it
would be much better to settle that point on the
field. Second, the time for the game to begin
was $50 o'clock sharp, and it was within few
minutes of three, before any Of the Rugby club
medo their appearance then, only few came,
others struggled in between three and half past
and some who were to play did not come at all.
| Third when the Rugby Club challenged us, they
challenged rs a club consequently it WAS not
| our fault if we had is men and they but ID we
cannot throw Off our members to accommodate
| them, but at the time of the match we had only
| 16 men on the field. Fourth, it was not our
| Captain but theirs who came forward and de-
clared they would not play unless we agreed to
use their ball. Fifth, the statement that oui
club acted in a similar manner last year is false
| (the playing of a substitute on their side caused
a disturbance, after which the game was called.
the score then standing TO in our favor
Sixth, we, not they have undoubted claim to the
championship, as the Umpire (agreed upon b,
both olubs), decided the game in or favor.

Suffering in LafouPche.

We have received letter from Hon. +.
Collin, Judge of Lafourche parish, in which
he complains of certain statements recently
publlshed in the Pieaynne. The judge
states that there are hundreds of families
in Upper Choupic, Lower Choupic, Chack
Bay, Malagay, Bayou Heron, Grand Bayou
and other back settlements, who have lost
their stores and their crops, and who are
unable to find employment. The sufferers
at PARIS crevasse, below Lockport, offered
to work for their food, and were refused
for the reason that honest planters can not
discharge their lsborers to give preferenc
to sufferers. He asks what are few plant
e-s who employ few hands, in comparison
with the 400 or 500 honest laboring fam lilies
who depended upon their crops for alivings
If planters are able to get supplies, from
their merchants, and this is not slways the
case, these poor families can not do it, as
they are entirely without credit.
The condition of these people is pitiable in
the extreme, and the judge asks:
Can a man work in the field without
means, credit or paw, and make q crop or
support his family Or will any planter
who has saved part of his crop take advan-
tage Of the direful calamity and unblush.
ingly advising the discOntinuance of issuing
ratiOns, be willing to feed the sufferers and
not rob the results of their labors Then let
that man some forward, and / will engage
myself to procure the required labOr-even
on those terms.

Reclamation of 3. A. Stockdale.

The continued i'll health of s. A. Stock
dale, Esq, has induced him to tender his
resignation of the Office Of internal revenue
collector for the first district of Louisiana,
on account of continued i'll health. He made
an excellent chief deputy collector of the
port under Mr.. Kellogg, our present Gov
ernor, and as collector of internal reven ue
he proved a faithful and competent office +.
1t was his close application to duty that
broke down his health, and his many
friends in New Orleans, particularly those
among the mercantile class, will regret to
hear of the necessity that has driven him
to resign his public position in this city.
The government can not well dispense with
the services of such a man, and therefore
we should not be surprised to hear that the
President had rendered Mr.. Stockdale a
position somewhere where he can have
health.
