The Torchlight Procession.


The campaign committee having
secured from the State committee
several hundred lamps. or torches,
arrangements were made for torch

was anticipated, this event drew a
large and expectant crowd. The pro-
cession formed on Crescent Place and
moved on all the principal streets,
there being abont 200 torches in line
and large number of people follow
ing the pageant. The st. Joseph band
led the column aud just behind them

The RACEs.-About 200 people paid
their way into the grounds of the
Agricultural Association last Sunday
to witness the races advertised to take
place, while the usual large crowd
assembled upon the railroad track to
obtain dead head view of the sport
over the fence. This will be the last
opportunity afforded the general pub
lie for such gratuitous observation,
however, as the board of managers of
the Association have determined to
add about six feet to the height of the
fence adjoining the railroad. This
movement will cause d marked in
crease in the gate money, and will
enable the association to extend its
facilities for affording entertainment
to those who take an interest in horse
racing. We append a summary Of
last Sundays sport:
|. Fast mule race, halfmile; entries. No
Ian 2, Hanson 2, Gaudin / won by Nolan
| time Ills. {s'4
y Slow mule race entries, Nolan, Gaudm
Rodrigue; won by Nolan.
| 3. Small ponies. half-mile dash; entered
| Weber's Cupid, Oubres Comet, Peterson's
Dunder and Sanchez Bitten; won by Com
et time, 561.
A. PONIES, half-mile dash; entered, Plais
ance's Fanny and Colomb's Billy; won b,
Fanny; time, so.
s. Nile dash; entered, Nolan's Wagner
and Maurins Flying Star; won by Wagner
time, Isl.
There was great interest eyincet
| in the last race, and we hear that sew
eral bets of liberal proportions were
made upon the result. The horse
seem quite evenly matched and thei
run was close and exciting. At til,
half mile post Flying Star led by hal
y length, but in che home stretel
Wagner got in his work in fine Styl
and came in several lengths ahead.
The next meeting of the Association
will occur on Sunday, October 8, an
an attractive programme has bee
prepared for that occasion.

Immediately following the an
nouncement that Gems. Crook and,
Terry were about to abandon further
pursuit of the Indians and go into
winter quarters, comes intelligence
of an attack, on the 9th inst, upon
an Indian village of forty lodges by
Colonel Mills, of Gen. Crooks com
mand, with $50 men of the Third
Cavalry. The Indians were sur
prised and completely routed, with a
considerable loss in killed and wound
ed, though tile exact number is not
reported. One soldier was killed and
| Ave wounded, one fatally. The lodges
and all the property thereip, consist
ing of an immense quantity OF dried
meat, berries, guns, ammunition, etc.,
besides lao ponies and various arti-
Ecles of wearing apparel recognized as
having belonged to Clusters COM
mand, fell iuto the bands. of the
troops. A number of warriors, squaws
and children were also captured. II
is estimated that the Indians num-
bered nearly 1000. During the same
day upon which this important event
occurred, several attacks were made
upon the advance and rear guards Of
Crooks command, but the redskins
were promptly driven off, several o.
| their number being killed. Gen
Crook is pushing forward rapidly te
the Black Hills, and the recent en-
gagements have greatly encourage
his men, who are now in splendid
fighting trim and eager for the fray.

We regret to learn that the corr
crop of the New River region is fall
ing quite short of earlier expectations,
especially on the lower portion of
New River, where the water from
Bonnet Care creyasse backed up aud
almost entirely preeluded the cult
yation of corn. Very little will be
raised in that peighborllood, and on
many farms none at all. Cotton,
however, is turning out well, and a
number of bales of the new crop have
been shipped to New Orleans The
low prices are extremely discoaragiqs
70 farmers, and it unfortunately hap
pens that few can afford to hold on
to their crop in anticipation of bet
ter market.

The meeting of the Tilden and Mich
oils club Thursday night was slimly
attended, there being nothing of I'M
usual interest on the tapis. President
Dnfel being absent, DIR. B. Claverie
occupied the chair. Mr.. r. P. Landry
was called on for u speech, but being
unprepared made only Il few remarks,
touching upon his fuvorite theme OF
carpet baggers. He sternly rebukel
the presumption of those American
citizens who did not happen to be
born in the South, but who accept
public offices here. Freeman Bel
was called upon to speak, but got Out
of it with a lame excuse, as usual. He
said an influential colored man hae
promised him to be present and speak
but had backed ont at the last mo.
ment. TO keep the favor of the Dem
ociatic patrons of his barber shop
Freeman expressed the belief that h'
could induce fifty or sixty colored mel
to join the. club at some iDdefinit,
future date-probably he meant afte
| the election. s-

BASE BALL.-0n New River, last
week, the Lone Star and Young Amer

native symmetry of her physiognomy
was somewhat damaged, called upon
us the other day and in an impressive
manner impaired the information that
her name is not "Black Ann, neither
is it "Long Nine," but simply Ann
Williams. She admitted that some
malicious persons are in the habit of
calling her by the euphonious nick

The beautiful dry weather cont
tinues. There was slight fall OF
rain one night during the week, little
more than enough to lay the dust and
make the surface of the ground look
damp for few hours. A good shower
or two would prove beneficial about
this time, though any protracted wet
spell would cause great injury to
crops. Such an occurrence, however,
is very rare at this season of the year

march people floeked TO the streets to
witness the display, which was salts
factory in every respect and increased
the enthusiasm which the Republicans
are showing in the present canvass.
Atseveral residences Chinese lanterns
were displayed, and hearty cheers
were given to the parties who had
thus shown their sympathy with the
objects of the demonstration. Free
quent shouting for the Republican
candidates and occasional tunes from
the band enlivened the march, and
when the procession returned to the
point of starting and disbanded, three
rousing cheers were given for Hayes

Fourth Ward Hayes and Wheeler Club.
The regular meeting of this club at
the Court House, Saturday evening,
was attended by an incident which
augurs well for the character of the
present canvass and approaching
election in our parish. Capt. r. 2.
Landry, q leading Democrat and
member of the Tilden and Nichols
club, was present, and in response to
an invitation took the stand and ad-
dressed few remarks to the audi
ence. He said he never expected to
be called upon to speak at a Repub-
lican meeting; that he was glad to
observe the good feeling prevailing
between political opponents and
hoped it would continue that he
would always subordinate party in
terests to serve his country and be-
lieved Others would do the same.
| Several members of the club spoke
briefly, as also did Mr.. John Kerrigan
of st. James. No session of the clul
will occur this evening, on account o
the meeting and torchiight procession
in the second ward.

About five months ago, a warrant was
issued ty q. S. Commissioner Smith at
tie instance of Mayor Morris, special
agent Of the Treasury Department, for
the arrest Of Henry G. Hudson, residing
hear Lewis, who was then mate of YES
sci lying at the Breakwater. He was
charged with smuggling from this ves-
sci a quantity of cigars, sugar and
molasses.
About this time Hudson was made
captain Of the three-masted schooner
Emma Hithers, and before the warrant
could be served he sailed on a foreign
cruise.
A few days ago he returned, and on.
Monday Martial Dunn received infor-
nation to the effect that the Hithers
would leave the .Breakwater for Phila-
delphia, at 2 o'clock that afternooa. He
immediately started down the bay on
the tug Falcon, but by the severe storm
OF Monday night the tug was forced to
come back, and the schooner was driven
to anchor below Bombay Hook.
Yesterday afternoon the Marshal put
out again and overhauled the schooner
off New Castle, when he arrested Capt
Hudson and brought him to this city.
He was taken before U, S. Commisf
sioner Smith, but in order that he NIGH [
go to Philadelphia and attend to dischar
ging the cargo from his vessel, was re.
leased on $1,000 bail until ) o'clock
Thursday evening, when he will be gi.
ven hearing. Ex-Governor Ponder
became his surety.
