There died in Opelousas on the 29th
OF October an old disciple of the cart
prescrvative," named William Halle
ton, aged about G6 years.
From the most accurate information
that we can obtain, tho deceased was
born and raised in Monroe, Ouachita
parish. While quite a young man he
| went to New Orleans, and learned to
set type in the Bee office, and subse-
quentIy worked on the Picayunc. He
was a soldier in the Mexican war-U.
S. .service-ior two years, and received
a wound in ono of its battles. During
the late war he served in the Confed-
crate ARMY during the entire struggle.
Before the war nc owned and edited a
paper in Monroe. Since that period
he has been engaged in editing and
publishing papers throughout the
South and West. He came to st. Ian
dry parish last April, and worked in
the Democrat otiicc up to the time OF
his last illness. He was Il man OF eN-
cellent information upon almost all
topics good journalistic writer, and
a first class printer in every respect.
We believe the surviving members
of his family live in Monroe and
Nntchitochcs-Ope Courier.

GEN. HANCOCK AND THE ARMY.

CNew York Evening Post.l
Should the forthcoming report of
the General of the Army prove his
last-and it is confidently announced
from Washington that Gen. Sherman
has determined to go upon the retired
list next spring-it will give TO both
Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Hancock a
step upward in military position if
not in nominal rank. The title of
General was conferred specially upon
Gen. Sherman, and thus does not pass
toa successor; but, in the event of his
retirement, which the law enables
him to do on the completion OF thirty
years. service, Gen. Sheridan will take
the command of the army at Washing
ton, and Gen. Hancock, by estab-
lishcd custom, will succeed at Chicago
to the important post now filled by
Gen. Sheridan. The country will be
loath to lose from its active service
the distinguished officer now at the
head Of its army; but it will be glad
to see any possible additional honor
open to the gallant soldier who by no
means loses his place in the hearts of
his countrymcn because Of his defeat
in a political election.

JUPITER.

Have you noticed the wonderful
brilliancy and beauty of Jupiter?
To the naked eye, and without the
aid of IL telescope, il looks like Il torch
in the sky.
A few evenings since party of peo-
pie in the country espied the planet
just as it was making its appearance
above the eastern horizon, and, think.
ing it must be n large 1netcoric light Of
some kind, despatched two Of their
number in its direction, through the
woods, to ascertain what it could be.
Then it was thought to be an illumina-
ted ascending balloon.
The reason Jupiter has shown with
such remarkable brilliancy of late is
because it has been nearing the point
when it appears largest to observers on
our planet-a point it will not reach
again until about twenty years hence,
which will be quite as soon as the
Democratic party can reasonably expect
to attain to power under it's present
leadership.
The most sublime of all studies is
geometry. It turns tho thoughts Of
mortals from terrestrial troubles heaven.

Werecall to memory a conversation
with Daniel Webster at Marshfield, in
which the subject of astronomy came
up. Mr.. Webster remarked: "In the
winter season I can tell the time OF
night, within fifteen minutes, by the
position Of the constellations-I have
observed them so much. I am often
reminded of the plain but sublime
poetry of DR.. Watts:
''Ye stars are but the shining dust
OF my divine abode.'"
Thus was Mr.. Webster's soul lifted
high when he was contemplating
the heavenly bodies; but when he
looked earthward, and the White House
fixed his gaze,' he longed for that. Then
came blight over his hopes a terri
BILE disappointment pierced and broke
his great heart, and he died!
Democrats, study astronomy!
Jupiter and the other planets-except
this earth OF ours-are just about as
bright as they were before election.

Sun, from which the above article is
copied, appears like a blurred speclz in

Had the Democratic State of New

The Scientific American of Novem.
ber 18th, contains an engraving of the
plan of Mr.. Eads great ship railway
for the American Isthmus. 1t is truly
"big thing on Wheels" and it would
be hard to convince the incrcdulous
that the plan would be practicable,
but we take it that nothing in tho en-
gineering line upon which Capt. Eads
would stake his reputation is impracti-
cable. What he has already accom-
plished is convincing, to our mind,
that his present great undertaking is
practicable. 1t can be accomplished, says
Capt. Eads, at half tho expense of n
ship canal and the expense of keeping
up the road when finished would not
be as great as that of n canal. Ifsuc-
cessfuily put through it will be tho
greatest engineering feat of the cen
tury. 1t is estimated that there will
be saving of 1000 miles by this route
over the present. The United States
should take the matter under her
especial care, and render Capt. Eads
all the assistance necessary to put tho
thing in operation, as it would of
course require government aid to con-
struct a work of such magnitude.

The North Louisiana Republican
comes to us this week with it's columns
draped in mourning for it's late editor,
DIR. William b. Jones, who, tho Re
publican Informs us, was assassinated
on the night of the Sd inst. The Re-
publican reserves comment for future
day and we arc left in the dark as to
the facts OF the case. We can but de-
plore such occurrences, agreeing with
the Republican, ssfor the harmful ef-
fects which such crimes always entail
upon any christian and civilized couu-
try" 1t is only few days since that
II citizen of Morchousc parish was
taken from his house, tied to a tree
and shot to death. 1t is urged in cX-
tenuation, in this case, that tho party,
one Long, bore q bad character and
was open and defiant in his violations
of law and that his money Offences
mcrited the penalty mcted out to
him. The law should have been al
lowed to have taken its course. A
wrong does not make Il right. The
parties who took the law into their
own hands, are themselves violators of
the law. The law should take its
course in the case of the assassination
of DR.. Jones. If possible the guilty
parties should be brought to justice
For the good of the country, for the
fair name and reputation of law abid-
ing citizens, such crimes should not be
allowed to go unpunished. An exam
pie should be set that would deter
others from Il repetition of like Of
fense in future. Our country cannot
prosper, we caunot expect immigra-
tion, and the investment of capital in
our midst if such crimes are committed
among us. We say let the law be en-
forced

THE LATE WAR.
We have received the following note

of inquiry:
GALVESTON, Nov. 1, 1880.
Dear iS7'-Is there war file of the
OUACIIITA TELEGRAPH extant If
SO, can obtain tho privilege Of having
extracts made from it for the purposes
of my "History of the War West OF
the Mississippi" now nearly ready for
the press? Please answer at once, and
oblige. Yours, etc.,
| DOZIER q. HERBERT.
There is no uWar filc' Of the TELE-
aRApA, this paper having been estab-
lished since the war. The Ouachita
Register was published here the first
and part of the second year of the war !;
but we do not know who has the file
OF the paper. Mr.. Herbert may obtain
a great deal of information, however,
from members of the Home Guards, an
organization well known in the Trans
Mississippi department and of which
several members survive in this lati-
tude. We have found that they are
usually very accurate in their recol-
lections of the war, and Mr.. Herbert
will be greatly aided in his undertak-
ing by consulting their useful stores of
war "reminiscences. We have never
struck them yet, without being re-
pulsed.
Possibly, we may be able to suggest
something not invaluable to Mr.. Her.
bert as historian. There was war,
but that it ragged west of the Mississippi,
| history has yet to discover. Time,
| with its softening influences, may have
heard of it, and so may have the wild
conscript fathers; and likewise the
rebels on the other side of the Great
River escaping to this side, may yet
live to admonish their progeny to be-
ware of the dangers they passed
through but Mr.. Herbert will find
his s'best hold" in the field of ro-
nance. He has, therefore, no need of
files Of newspapers. The great waste
of Imagination lies before him, and
that, we believe, is his surest chance of
obtaining facts for his history. The
more real substances of war gathered
together concerning the west side of
the Mississippi, the better for history.
We think, really, that the history
ought not to be written-except, as a
history purely speculative, and, in that
view, volumes can be written.
Our notion is, that the Trans Missis-
sippi Department had everything to
do with the war, and did nothing.
Gen. Kirby Smith organized an army,
and encouraged dcsertion. There were
two or three battles fought in this De-
partmcnt, but there was never time
! when 4 soldier west of the Mississippi
was in his proper place. "IIe lay like
Il warrior, taking his sest.''
