borne, we have cen permitted to ex-
tract some Interesting documents new
er heretofore in print, OF peculiar in
terest TO the people OF this Seclou Of
the State. 1t will be remembered
that some years alter Louisiana fell
under the dominion of the United
States, what are now called the FIori.
da parishes Of Louisiana embracing
the whole district lying between the
Mississippi and the waters OF Pearl
river, claimed to be outside Of the
territory of Louisiana, and the inhab'
ilants theI ein held a convention at
Baton Rouge and proceeded to organs
ize an independent government. The
government thus established, during
the short term OF its existence extend
ed its jurisdic ion. over the country
reaching from Pearl river to Mobile,
embracing what now constitutes the
three seaboard counties Of Misissi ppi
This quasi-go, ernment although there
we're many good citizens implicated IN
it, was summarily suppressed by Gov
ernor Claiborne of Louisiana under
orders from the Presi dent of the
United States.
But, in this seaboard district, these
believed to be includ d in the ceasion
of Louisiana, but which had remained
detached and unnoticed, much dsor-
der prevailed, aud many depredations
were committed on The peaceable ine
babitants, who were, for the most
part, des, endants from the followers
of Bienville and lbervile. To put
an end to these disorders, Governor
ClaiboIne (who always maintained
that the Perdido river was the east
ern boundary of Loui-iana) issued a
proclamation extending the laws Of
the Territory over the whole seaboard.
And he appointed DR.. VIM. Flood,
then an eminent citizen of New Or
leans, commissioner to organize the
district into parishes.

Gen. Sherman's Memoirs.

Thes following digraceful insinua-
ton Of President Davis being in some
manner connected with the assassina-
tion Of President Lincoln, is an ex-
tract from "Gen Sherman's Memoirs,
by himself" We quote from the
New York Herald:
"The surrender of Lee and the as
sassiuation Of Lincoln came swiftly
npon each other. Sherman first learn.
ed of it in a private dispatch on the
morning of APRIL 17th. He kept
the news quiet until ne had occasion
to see Gen. Joseph Johnston, to dis.
cuss the surrender. "As soon as we
were alone together says Sherman,
speaking Of his visit to Gen. john
ston, al showed him the dispatch an
nouncing Lincoln's assassination, and
watched him closely The perspira-
ton come IN large drops on his fore~
head, and he did not attempt to con-
ceal bis distress. He denounced the
act as disgrace to the age, and hope
ed | did not charge it to the conied-
crate government. | could not be-
lieve that he or Gen. Lee or the of
ficers OF the confederate army could
be privy to acts of assassination, but
! would not say as much for Jeffer-
son Davis, George Sanders, and men
OF the tribe.-We talked about the
effect of this act on the country at
large and the armies, and he realized
that it made my situation extremely
delicate"

a TRUE LADY.-Beauty and style
are not the surest passports TO reSpec'
liability. Some of the noblest spec :.
linens of womanhood that the world
has ever seen have presented the plain
est and most unprepossessing appear
ance. A woman's worth is to be es.
timated by. the real goodness Of her
heart, the greatness oil Ter soul, aud
the purity and sweetness of her char
atter; and a woman with kindly
disposition, and we'll balanced mind
and temper, is lovely aud attractive
be her face ever so plain, and her fig
ure ever so homely. She makes the
best of wives and the truest of moth
crs. She has the higher purpose in
living than the beautiful yet vain
supercilious woman who has no high,
er ambition than that to faunt her
fnery in the street, or to gratifv her
inordinate vanity by extracting fiat
terry and praise from society, whose
compliments are as hollow Is they
are insecure.

A correspondent OF the New York
Tribune gives an exceedingly simple
preeaution in the use Of kerosence or
any other cheap oil. His plan is to
fill the lamp lightly with jewelers.
cotton before pouring in the oil. The
cotton absorbs a great deal Of the
oil, aud in case Of accident the latter
does not flow about, and can thus be
extiuguished. On one occasion bis
kerosene lamp ourst, and a mass Of
fame jumped out; but, being in a
compact body, he covered it Instant
ly with bucket, and with the help
of a water>piicher and a few wet
towels extipguished it before the
slightest damage was done. Had it
not been iolsshe cotton the flaming
oil would have flowed 10 all direc-
tons.

That old 12x14 frame building

hauled out Of the alley from near
Fleming's stable, balanced on truck
wagon, while an admiring crowd
cheered Justify to see how near it
could come to tipping over, first on
one side and then the other, has a
history. 1t was built by VIM. Bag
ley, some twenty-six years ago, for
a granary; and then stood across the
alley south Of the old Bagley wagon
shop. A little later it was moved up
town and took place on the main
street somewhere near opposite
Reichert's block, where it was occu-
pied by John Weaver as shoe shop
and restaurant--home made cakes
and beer being the extent of the lat
ter branch of business. Later it went
to tho rear Of better building; then
across to serve as kitchen for the
Fleming House; then half way down
the lot for livery Office; then clear
back to the alley for chicken house;
and now it has so.ic t j renovated
into q dwelling h use in Dublin.

Ar the interesting Union Mission

AT the interesting Union Mission
airy Meeting last Sabbath evening in
the NJ. 4. Church, there we're brief
addresses by Rev'ds G. S. Biscoe
and c. Axtell upon The respective
topics of "Indirect Participation in
Missionary Work." and "Denomina-
tionalism in Missionary Efforts.
Both the speakers we're pointed and
pertinent in their remarks and we're
attentively listened to by large
audience. These union meetings
have been made the regular event for
the first Sabbath night Of each month,
and are, we should think, both pleas
ant and profitable.

VERY many persons will be sur
prised at the business change indica
ted elsewhere, by which Mr.. S. w
Young retires from the firm Of Dean
Inglnan 4 Young. The cause OF the
change we understand to be the con.
tinued i'll health Of Mr.. Y, which rem.
ders it imperative that he should be
released from SO close confinement
We regret that we must lose him
from among the business men Of oul
town, but hope in rest he may find
the needed recuperation.
The firm ofDean, Ingman & Young
has now been in existence nearly FIVE
years, and by fine business tact and
square dealing has built up an i'm.
mense trade and an enyiable reputa'
ton, which its successors, Messrs
Dean & Ingman, will permit TO suffer
no dimunition or detraction.

The RAILROAD.--We have re-
ceived letter written last week by
one of our citizens after visiting
Clinton and the work on the Chicago,
Clinton & Western Railway. The
matters Of fact conveyed by it are no
later, and substantially the same as
set forth in the 4ye article copied
elsewhere; ard we therefore omit
them, copying the letter only so far
as it shows the impressions gained by
investigation on the ground;
'sOne hundred men were reported
to be on work. / counted sixty-one
and went no further than within one
mile Of Camanche. The manner in
which the work 10 done, and the per-
lection and detail Of preparation in
dictate that the contractors at least
intend making summer campaign
OF it, and expect to build the whole
line. Under the existing contract
every mile of iron laid is an addi-
tional guaranty Of $4,000 that the
road will be finished And the Mill
Creek, Rock Creek and Wapsie
bridges will add no iuconsiderab!e to
this security; for under the coDtrac,
as understand it, Mr.. Hinckley can
not control the road until built as
agreed to be built. Northwestern
officials are now expressing the be-
lief that the road will be built.
Forty-one oars of iron had arrived
up to the 1st install newly rolled
not yet rusted by the weather. The
rails are transported on Chicago 6
Paducah cars. An engine will be
put on as soon as there is a side-tracl
at Camanehe."
