The Amendments.

Some journals are anxious to
know why the Convention at Baton
Rouge failed to mention the
amendments proposed by the last
Legislature. The Convention rec
ognized the fact that the contest
all along was between the amend
ments, which had their birth in
corruption and major support from
corrupt men on the one side, and
the call for a Convention to frame
a new aud honest Constitution on
the other. They declared for the
Convention, and by that leclara-
ton more .emphatically denounced
the amendments than if they had
deluged Louisiana with sea of
words.

A new warlike appliance is abont
to be introduced in the British
service, and will probably be known
as the "hand torpedo" Like the
grenades of half century ago,
they are intended to be thrown by
the hand into the enemy's boats,
or over parapets and stockades,
but instead of being a shell explod-
ed by a fuse. as the grenades were,
they will consist entirely of gun
cotton. pulped or compressed into
a cake or ball of three or four
pounds weight. A long cord is at
tached to each charge. the other
end of which is connected with a
kind of pistol held by the operator.
The torpedo is pitched into the re-
quired position, when touch on
the trigger detonates the gun cot
ton, and an explosion follows, such
as experiment has shown to be suf-
ficient to shatter in atoms a fve-
ton block of granite: One such
charge, skilfully applied, would an
initiate a boats crew, and, in the
hands of daring men, might work
great destruction by being thrown
into large ships.

From gentleman who passed
the place few days ago. we lie arm
that Bayou Rigolet, several miles
below Colfax, is full of dead fish
of all sizes and descriptions, sup
posed to have been poisoned by
cotton worms washed into the
bayou from adjoining farms, which
had been killed by arsenic and
Paris green. This is a matter of
considerable importance, and it
becomes question as to whether
or not, it pays to poison the cotton
worm. If the stock and chickens,
birds and fish are to be exiermina-
ted by it, we hold that the sooner
Legislative action puts an end to
The use of poison the better it will
be for all concerned. =
