TO BIZ DRAINED ATLAsT.
Goose Hollow aud Catashtown.

We are happy to announce to the long
suffering residents of Goose Hollow and
Catfishtown, that the Special Commit
tee of the City Council, met on Monday,
at the State House, at the office of r..
II. Burke, Esq, and that they finally
adopted comprehensive and practical
plan to effectively drain the lower por-
tioa of the city, work that has never
up to the last year or two received the
attention which the necessities of the
people demanded.
! The idea is to construct lasting and
substantial wooden tlume or conduct that
will traverse the leyee at the foot of
South Boulevard, and extend to the
rivers edge, in order to prevent the
bank from washing Canals of suf-
ticient capacity are to be dug which will
bring the food water to this escape
which is to have a width of some y feet.
This system is to be operated during low
water.
When il is considered that it Is only
on exceptional years that the river rises
sufficiently to compel the closing of such
an outlet, it will readily be seen that %
great step towards the permanent relief
OF the section named is about to be
taken.
Inc amount necessary to accomplish
the work described is provided for in
the appropriations of the present year.
The Committee and the Council intend
to make assurance doubly sure, by max
ing provision in the Budget of 1es2, to
purchase and erect a first class draining
machine which will be operated when
extraordinary high water demands it's
employment.
The Committee have arrived at these
conclusions after mature deliberation
and critical examination of every idea
or plan that has been suggested.
The Committee was led to its conclu-
sIons by the fact that the drainage sys.
TEN would always be under the control
OF the city, as the entire work will lie
within her limits. No impeachment can
therefore be set up by any owners or
lands situated below the city.
Besides, it is well known that all of
the great bulk of water which issues
from Goose Hollow and Catfishtown finds
its way through the canal of the Week
plantation, to the Halls Bottom. where
it constantly overflows and renders
impossible at times the Highland road,
one Of the most important approach
es to the city.
BY diverting this dow of water to-
wards the Mississippi, 1t is reasonable to
suppose that the road above mentioned
vii! be put in position to be perma-
nently rendered safe for ,ravel
Messrs, K. H. Burke and Chas. Week
were appointed n subcommittee to at
once purchase lumber and materials and
employ competent worEmen TO carry ont !
the detailed plans We have described.

BATON ROUGE, Aug. Nth, l~cl.
IRr. Editor-The great New Orleans
papers have each their partizans, but
those ofthe Times, occasionally get a
black eye, when they least expect it.
The ridiculous alliterative head Innings
to its telegraphic columns, since the
cowardly attack upon the President.
causes Its friends to turn rapidly to its
broad print, incsive and really brilliant
editorials for relief, and the keen wit of
its Hotienstein article, and Flabber Gas
ter papers, cover little the disgust en-
gendered by the direction and point of
its Cocklebur Club proceedings, and yet
the eyenness of the game-of like and
dislike, is totally destroyed by last Sun

from the 1t. Louis Globe. Democrat one
of the late editors of which probably
well understands the force and power
of authorities" when they are "confed-
Grated" against CROOKED" editors, but
the Times by slipping it in it's columns,
endorses the application of the detini-
ton:
"Confederate-By the common usage
OF our language this word is generally
employed in a bad sense. The Psalmist
speaks of the foes of Jehovah as ICON
federate against him. Shakespeare
speaks of "vile confederates," OF being
confederate with damned pack" the
beast Calihan and his "confederate.
aud similar instances. Cowper speaks
of "hellish foes confederate for his
HARM We say that men are confed-
crate for an evil purpose. Seldom do
we hear the word used for good one.
The adoption of this word by Southern
rebels during the war confirmed its an
Gent and modern usage. They were
confederate" to uphold most Internal
system by means the most abominable."
There are some billiards who pass
their lives as aliens among a people
whose under current of strong FEELING
they know nothing of. The assertion
may strike this class as strange that if
in the South there are a few men who
are not proud that their grandfathers
bought slaves from the ancestors of the
Gables OF New England there are none
ashamed that their progenitors were
rebels in '76 and that they were co-as-
sociated with rebel Confederates in '61
TO the entire South the word "Confed-
crate" is sacred one. Its colors are
red with the blOsd of our best. and
bleachcd with the tears of those who
loved them.
And whist every one intends to l,v,
up to the law, and all are fer the Union.

The announcement contained in Major
James letter the substance of which we

Culties that he has had to encounter in

seemed destined to stupendous failure.
