ADsoN.-Wcdneslay night about 8
O'Clock light was seen in an eas;er!y
direction from here, aud we learned
the following day that it was caused
from TIE burning Of the houses on
the Turpin or Larkin place. Nj
Hines had been living on the place,
but had moved oil, and colorcd man,
named Miles lloyd, had contracted
with Mr. OVERLY to cultivate the
land, but had not gone on the place.
1t was evidently the work Of inccn-
diaries, bG. we are unable to coniec-
turc by what motive tLcy Were ac,u-

HOME INDUSTRY.

The @ugor-P,an'er refers regretfully to
the sale of the manufacturing establish
ment of Messrs. Hart, Arbour 8, Co. at
Baton Rouge. This firm was established
several years since for the manufacture of
wagons. carts. plows and other farming
implements on large scale. Expensive
machinery was pat in place and com
modious buildings erected. It vas n al
respects a Southern enterprise and de-
served Southern patronage. We are told
the work turned out by these gentlemen
was equal to the carts and tools brought
here from the North and West, but the
result proved that they did not meet with
such ready sale. and competition killed
the firm. We can not say if our people
actually prefer to purchase Northern made
articles when goods every way equal in
quality, style and cheapness can be had
from home factories; but there is IN
doubtedly some cause for such complaints
as are made by the S,tgar-Bo.cr, and ire
quently repeated in conversation. Per
haps sending our money away for the pur-
chase of things which coold be made at
home is the result of time honored Gus
tom which was not wholly broken up by
the war. In ante 5ellum times there was
nothing to be done but to raise cotton aud

bers would not have been unseated if Mr..

bers would not have been unseated if Mr..
Wheeler had promptly and firmly pro-
tested against the revolutionary action
which was set on foot before he left the
city, or even furnished them with his
opinion in writing in good season.
His vacillation which began in New
Orleans under threats from the Con-
servatives that they would break up
the whole scheme of compromise
unless they were permitted to put
their own construction upon it, has cul-
minated in an attempt to justify them
IN the total disregard of his oft repeated
opinion that their course was illegal and
in direct violation of the terms of the
compromise. He has acted in a very
strange and inconsistent manner, and
completely disappointed the Republicans
of this State, who at one time reposed the
most implicit confidence in his judgment
and fairness.

sugar. All other businesses of supplying
handling, factorage, and the thousand
ways of earning livelihood that spring
up among luxurious people, depended
upon the production of the great staples
as foundation. We had no love for the
Yankees. but We sent them our money
for their inventions and handiwork.
One reason why manufactures were
not developed in the South was
that the working man was never lifted
| far above the slave in the social scale;
our own boys reared here were not en-
| couraged to learn trades or to work; they
did SO only from necessity. and then i'm
mediately lost caste. Despising Massa-
chusetts We yet sent our money away for
Lynn shoes. Tools, machinery, imple-
ments, and even meat and corn that could
be made and raised here were brought
from elsewhere. We raised cotton, but
depended on Lowell for shirts to our
backs: we raised sugar but when We
wanted it white in Jumps or fine for
toddies and cocktails, it was sent away to
be refined and sold to US again for double
price. 1t was so generally with all things
requiring skilled labor in producing. By
slave labor cotton and sugar grew upon our
soil, which was often worked under the d.
rection of Yankee overseers, and we were
content. We amused ourselves by French
singers and New York actors: we aired
our babies in Northern carriages, and
laid our friends away in Western collins.
We were people able to command indie
pendence, yet in all things were sadly
dependent.
It was thought the war would change
this state of things; that the South would
come out self-reliant Many States have
improved; but Louisiana has yet much to
learn and to do before it can achieve indie
pendence- independence through cap
ital and the right direction of labor, and
not conditioned upon the name of the
Governor. Home industry should be
encouraged in all ways possible, not in
claunish spirit; but by bringing skilled
men here and treating them like men;
allowing them to work for us, and allow
ing them all privileges they obtain else
where.

One of the cheap critics of New York,
such as dote on English frauds, and abuse
all actors who play in the metropolis, says
of George Clarke, now at Booths theatre:
"We believe Mr.. Clarke has been West,
and his acting is Of itself sufficient evidence
of the fact. 1t was rampantly robustious,
and some Of his grandest efforts after the
sublime were rewarded with unsurpassed
laughter" 1t should be remembered that
for years in New York Mr.. Clarke was
known as the embodiment of the quiet, fine
and graceful in acting. That he has since
played to the barbarians of Philadelphia,
and been censured by Mr.. Daily for wearing
handsomer mustache than the manager is
his only otfense

The New York Commercial Adrertiser
gives the following as contained in letter
written by Jefferson Davis to friend at
Shreveport: The majority OF negro voters
in this State lMssissippi) is already so
large and so rapidly increasing that l can
not foresee the day of her deliverance.'
The non delivarance referred to by Mr..
Davis is not defined clear enough to excite
sympathy. If he means that the loyal men
of Mississippi are still able by increasing
majorties to fairly outvote the old Confed-
crate element we see no reason to be de-
spondent. II he means that a man can not
vote intellgently because he happens to be
a negro, the chosen leader of those who
tried to sever the Union has made mis-
calculation. The negro is ignorant enough.
but considering the attitudes of Mr.. Davis
and the colored men toward the Union of
States, which is of greater Importance than
local issues, a Congress of negroes would
be safer than a caucus of Davises.
