Certainly no one objected to
any of the citizens of Thibodaux
leaving the place where they saw
the Yellow Fever approaching.
That was a privilege that be-
lOnged to every resident of the
Town. Those who were compelled
to remain at home and meet
Bronze John in mortal combat,
whilst sadly missing the genial
faces and manly forms of the alb
sent ones, t1attered themselves
that the abSentees. wherever
they might be, would preserve
the honor of the town and uphold
the dignity aud character o ftheir
fellow citizens whom they had
left behi"d' They thought that
their absent friends would cult.

promote the public tranquility in
any neighborhood in which they
might settle.
But in this hope we have been
disappointed, in this pleasing
dream we find only a deluslon.
Two OF our citizens-Lawyers.
at that, from whom we anticipa
ted better things-have settled
on the green banks of Bayou
Black where the innocent, honest
and nnsn>pecting residents have
received them with the hOspitali-
ty and fraternity that forms such
Il conspicuous trait in the ancient
Creole population of Louisiana.
No sooner had these eminent
lawyers arrived than the whole
neighborhood is put in commotion
and the people really to pull each

There is another reason that

pared with Z. Z. two years ago on

From the above. it will be seen

Yours respectfully,

The above was printed in the

and shows the state of the sugar
cane in Terrebonne.
Doubtless the same result
would be obtained in this Parish
were the test properly made. AS
the period for the equinoctial
storms is at hand or past. we may
reasonably calculate that no iniu
~ will come upon the standing
cane by storm or wiud, as often
happens in this month.
Should nothing interfere many
planters will commence to grind
early next month as the canes
will be sufficiently ripe for man
ufactOring into sugar.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. In re
cent interview, Gen. Hooker, in
relation to the disputed battle of
Lookout Mountain, said:
When Grant affirms there was
no battle at Lookout Mountain or
when he otherwise detracts from
the successes of my battles, he
either must have been deep in the
cup to which he is addicted, or
else his desire for a third term
must have craZed his brain. In no
other way can [ account for the
commanding general going back
on himself aud going back on the
army that made him. Grants
opinion in regard to the war are
far from being infalible, the same
as when he administered affairs
over the national government.
My battles were not so bloody as
his, aud hence l suppose he is
not able to appreciate them. AS
to the battle of Lookout Noun
tam, report me as saying there
We're two many witnesses to that
battle to have 1t ignored at this
late date, and friends of the fallen
will not be likely to accept
Grants verdict in regard to the
fight.

act it all with, it win be time
enough to talk of more greenbacks ;
but we shall have enough ; men will
no longer lock up their capital in
bonds, but invest it in trade. Re
viving commerce will attract in
some form the currency it requires,
but expanding the currency without
giving it employment in this way
will leave a mass of unemployed
paper on our hands with nothing to
make it circulate, and money which
does not circulate is worse than use
less.
We know the difficulty of attract
ing the attention of politicians to
these subjects, and will therefore
conclude by telling them that if
they will read the Northern papers
they will find that this exclusive
and unlimited greenback cry has
already started a widespread reac-
ton in all business circles, and that,
if we are going to stand on it and il
alone as our plank, ignoring all the
other measures hitherto demanded
by the Democracy, the one effect OF
it all will be to elect Ulysses Grant

THE DOVER COURIER AND THE
FLOATEIsTAL CONVENTION.

The Courier refuses to be pacified
on the contrary he says he has picked
up a gauntlet which somebody
threw down at the Indian Mound
convention, and is whirling it about
almost as ferociously as Morton and
Butler used to flourish the bloody
shirt. We are satisfied that nobody
intended to throw down any gaunt-
let or did throw any down, and,
whatever it was that he picked up,
he must continue to wave it at his
pleasure till he is tired of it, only
we adhere to our former opinion
that his denunciations do not repre-
sent the sentiment of any consider
able portion of the Stewart county
voters. He asks with indignant
scorn how many of the Montgomery
delegation were proxies. We have
not enquired nor do we intend to
but will venture on the
opinion that they represented the
Democracy of Montgomery quite as
truly and faithfully as the Stewart
men did that of their county; more

The Romance of the Epidemic.
Memphis Appeal.

A wedding took place on Adams
street yesterday afternoon under
circumstances surrounded by coolies
of romance. Several weeks ago DIR.
w. f. Bessancny, young physi-
clan hailing from Jamestown, Mis-
sisSippi, offered his services to Med
zeal Director Mitchell. His creden-
tails were perfect, and coming at
time when credentials We're most
needed, were readily accepted.
Just as. all the preliminaries had
been settled satisfactorily, a mesSen-
ger entered the office in great haste,
in search of a physician to attend
Miss ID. p. Rutter, a young lady
who had been stricken with the fe-
yer at her residence on Adams
street. DIR. Michel turned to the
gallant young physician, and re-
marked that he could Immediately
be placed on duty if he felt disposed.
DR.. BesSancny unheSitatingly ac-
cepted the call, and at once accom-
panied the messenger to the young
lady's residence, where he found
her PROSTATE with a bad case of the
fever. 1t is unnecessary to 90
through the details of the lingering
illness, but only to say that the
young doctors attention was close
and faithful, finally resulting in the
young lady's recovery. Soon after
ward the doctor was stricken down.
True to the instincts of her wOmanly
nature, doubly intensified by her
self-acknowledged Indebtedness to
him for having saved her life, she
went to his bedside, and there re-
manned, giving such attentions as
only a woman can beStoW upon the
sick, until the glad tidings were an
nounced that he had passed the cri-
sis, and bid fair to recover. He
passed through the tedious hours of
until entirely recOv-
cred. Nothing more was known or
thought of the matter by the few
intimate friends of the young lady
until yesterday afternoon, when the
doctor, accompanied by Esquire
Quigley and few friends, drove
up to the residence, and in less time
than it takes us to write this para
graph, the two were Joined together
in the holy bonds of wedlOck. Such
a union, cOnsummated under such
circumstances, cannot fail to abound
with happiness, and, being some
what superstitious ourself, we know
of good luck.

truly than the Courier represents
anything but a little knot of wire
workers at Dover. And this fin
ishes all we have to say on the sub
ject. We hardly suppose it will
satisfy the Courier; if not, he will
wave that gauntlet which he thinks
he picked up until he can find some
giant or some windmill to combat
with a poattrGncc on that quarrel.
