Sad Accident.

On Saturday last, Mr. jerome Bres,
residing about II miles below this
city, was hunting squirrels on the
west bank of the Ouachita river with
colorcd boy. He had killed q
squirrel and asked the boy to get
down from his horse and fetch it.
AS the boy attempted 10 get down,
the hammer of his gun caught in some
part of the saddle causing the hammer
to fall and discharge the gun. The
entire load entered the right side oil

The Cut-Gif-.The Problem Solved.

For nearly forty years there has
been wordv war, in which immense
quantities Of gas and trany rcams of
paper have been cOnsumed in stating
the reasons adduced to prove that the
Mississippi river would or would net,
some day, come plunging through
the peninsula opposite the city Of
Iicksburg The probleH has at last
been solved, and on "Wednesday the
last barrier disappeared. About noon
the ievce which : canned the peninsula
Disappeared, and in few hours it
was apparent that the long-talked Of
cul-oti vas al accomplished fact.
The largest boats now pass through
directly opposite the city, and in q
few brief weeks men will forget .hat
there was ever any other mode of
approaching the city made memorable
by one Of the most heroic defenses Of
modern times.
1t is too soon to speak Of the results
of the cutoff, but we venture the pre-.
dic'ion that, like many other evils Of
the world, the anticipation has been
largely 10 excess ofrhe reality. When
all who are now living are pulseless
dust, the Saragossa Of the South will
be found flourishing metropolis on

To TIE People Of Eichlanl Parish.

Last week we published call for
a Parish Convention, and also the
call Of the Democratic Executive
Committee for State Convention.
We rcpublish them to-day, lest you
should, in your lcthargy, indifference,
or whatever it i, forget them and
fail to respond and, little as you
may think Of it, upon your action in
this instance may depend the veal Or
woe of this State
We are Just entering upon one Of
the most imp0rtan: political contests
that has ever been wagcd in this
country; contest between two par
ties, one Of which is represented by
those who wish to rescue the country
from misrule, corruption and disgrace,
aud the other by those who will make
Il powerful effort to perpetuate this
state Of affairs, and no patriot can be
Indifferent to the issue no one who
loves his family or his country can
refuse to act--nor will you refuse TO
act-but we must organize for action,
if we would achieve victory.
We DO not wish to stir up any
undue excitement, but we want our
people to go to work in sober earnest
with fixed determination TO rescue
the State from the hands of the plum
dcrers, by achieving a complete and
signal triumph at the polls, and then
to install our officers at all hazards
and at whatever cost. TO DO this we
must be thoroughly organized; and
do it we must, for we cannot afford to
lose the victory-the stake is too
great, the sacrifice of the State, of our
own interests and the interests and
welfare of our families. Then, come
up and let us organize.

carried the State by 53,45l, and Mr.
Tilden made a change of over 100, 0GC

that will have great weight in The
