We have received The third number Of
the Louisiana CNpiiolidn, u new weekly
paper recently started In Baton Rouge
by our friend, Mr. Leon Jastremslti.
Tho Cdpiiolian is one Of the handsomest
papers in the South. The materials ,re
I'LL now, and tho mechanical work on tho
paper IN superb. But this IL the least to
be Said Of tho new paper. lts columns
are full Of excellent mud newsy reading
matter and the editorials are written,
with clcarncss and yigor. The Capilotian
assumes that Baton Rouge Is TO be tho
future capital aud II has opened u strong
fight for that honor. In politics, tbs
new paper Is thoroughly Democratic,
aud we welcome ii to the field OF Louis
lana Journalism ~ an additional and
powerful support IN the cause Of our
State. The Democrat cordially wishes
the Cdpiloiian the full measure Of success
which the cause in which it Is enlisted
deserves, aud which we are sure the
vigor with which 1t is conducted will
secure. --Ncm Orleans Democrat.

Is quite promising, aud gives positive
indications Of vigorous career IN the
new Capital Of tho State. We wish
