A LOUISIANA REPUBLIC.

Why has the history Of the little Re
public OF West Florida or Feliciana
never been written? How few persons
are there In this State who know that
there once existed within its bounda-
RES, and not so very many years ago
either, free and independent republic,
with regular and we'll established gov
ernment, and which Joined the Union
freely, like the Republic OF Texas.
Its existence, it ID true, was not long,
nor its history very startling and thrill
ing, still we should not altogether forget
our little Louisiana Republic, and its
gallant though somewhat Lniputian
war for freedom and independence.
When louisiana was SOLD to the
United States by France, there was con-
siderable difference Of opinion, CON-
siderable vagueness as to its boundaries,
both on the Texas and on the Missis--
sippi sides. The Spaniards claimed
that Bayou Manchac and Amite river,
the Americans that the Perdido river,
was the western boundary between the
two, nations. This Lett the Mississippi
coast counties, Baton Rouge, the Felici-
.anas, and, in fine, all the parishes now
known as the Florida Parishes in the
possession OF Spain. as a part OF West
Florida. 81 bnf ee2siO luRM tea 80
The Spanish power in Louisiana was
represented by Don Carlos Grandpre.
who commanded the Spanish fort at
Baton Rouge, and with other forts on
the Mississippi and Alabama coasts. So.
In Feliciana, Baton Rouge and Liv-
ingston there were settled at that time
some eight or ten thousand American
citizens, from Georgia and Alabama
principally, to whom the dominion Of
Spain, although merely nominal, was
hateful The feeling OF dislike to the
Spanish rule growing stronger, the
people Of Feliciana organized vol
unteer army Of citizens at St.
Frsncisville, in the parish Of East Fe-
iiciana, and marched to Baton Rouge
and attacked the Spanish fort there. 1t
was q short fight. 1t was not very
bloody fight. Don Carlos Grandpre,
the commander Of the fort, was killed
at the first shot; his men, many Of them
native Louisianians, Creoles, announced
that they had no desire for war, surren-
dered and were allowed to go away in
peace. ;r90p sa5 81
: Thus, in this one fierce battle was the
war for independence begun and ended.
Peace restored, the people OF the Fell
lcianas met at their little capital, st.
Francisville, and proceeded at once to
write q Declaration Of Independents
and organize stable and republican
government. Ministers plenipotentiarJ

pcstng that the two powers. the Omitted
states and West Florida, should unite

Notes by j. IL. SlddoDS.1
There are few facts in the business
life Of America which strike an English
man more forcibly than the absorbing
character Of each mans pursuits, and
the severity of the labor to which he
subjects himself. In London the trades
men can scarcely be said to have begun
the business OF the day before a. M,
the only exceptions being those who
minister to the early breakfast wants OF
the community. The merchant is
scarcely at his office before 10 in the
morning, and the clerks and secretaries
of the Government establishments are
not at their posts much before II a. NJ.
The amount Of work accomplished by
the two last-named classes Is Interrupted
by frequent gossip, the Per,lsal OF
newspaper, and q prolonged lunch, ana
nearly all quit their desks for the day
at A p. m. The American employee, on
the other hand, is often at his Office by
s a. m. many tradesnen open their
stores at or a. M, and during long
day the attention to duty is incessant,
only broken by half an hour allotted to
lunch. Perhaps there is too much work
done on one side, and too little on the
other. In America we press into the
| twentyfour hours as much severe labor
| as the human frame can bear. In Eng
land men do as little as they possibly
can. ~n..ss.-,e,,- nnD
Ny personal experience OF the public

sition in the India Office for few

taryship- by the Duke OF Argyll, and
