THE FOURTEENTH OF sEPTEM.
BEE.

Seven years ago, yesterday, the
people of New Orleans, after seven
long years of .humiliating Submission
to the most damnable rule ever i'm
posed on any portion of the Ameri-
can Continent, rose in arms, in utter
desperation, to at least strike terror
into the hearts of the political para
sites and robbers, whom the Grant
Radical Republicans had upheld in
power over o State of the Union,
whose only crime was that it had
sought to maintain the rights which
her people believed they possessed
under the Constitution framed by the
revolutionists of l776.
New Orleans and Louisiana had
nothing more to lose in September
1874. The Governments, State, pa
rochial and municipal, were in bank
ruptcy, and private fortunes with an
exception here and there, were in
pretty much the same condition.
Law existed but in name, and the
distracted people saw norelief before
them save by oyerturning the rule OF
the usurper, else to emigrate to other
less unhappy regions.
Like freedom loving men they nat
urally resorted to arms with the de-
termination to lay open to the gaze
OF the world, the hollowness Of that
Government which claimed by the
voice of the majority and the power
which the majority ought to give,
that it was the legal Government of
the State of Louisiana.
AS if springing from the bowels Of
the earth, the citizen soldiery of New
Orleans, shouting the battle-cry OF
Freedom, swept from the streets the
metropolitan hirelingsin whom alone
rested the power Of Pitt Kellogg, Of
swiftly almost as the tornado when
it opens its pathway through the
forest.
'Tis true that the stoical Soldier
President who had hurled, unmoved,
his battalions against the breast
works of Cold Harbor and Peters
burg, brutality ordered the Army Of
the United States to crush with its
bayonets the victorious efforts of Oul
patriots, yet the blood that had wa.
tered the tree of Liberty had borne
its fruits. The masses Of the Ameri.
can people were startled by the un'
expected outbreak. Coming to theil
senses, they saw that cause for the
triumph Of which the best men of {
State had given up their lives, couli
not be the unrighteous one that haC
been described to them by the merci
less haters OF the conquered South
Speaking through the ballot thu
will Of the majority of the Northern
people said that Louisiana and tn
South should be let alone.
From that day began the fOrwart
movement which eliminated in tn
liberation Of the State by the election
of Governor Nichols, whose installa
tion was effected by the citizen sol
'diery on the 9th Of January 1877; t.
which President Grant at last &C
auiesced.
All honor to tho brave men VIII
rendered the l4th of September,
day as worthy of commemorate
by Louisianians, as is the one t
France which signalized the captur
of the Bastilie.

We have assurances, that mon Of cap

We do not desire to CSC tho cner-

taken shape. Wepropose therefore
to give our loyal support 10 the one
which has taken the anost definite
shape.
This authorizes as to give . word Of
advice. The great obstacle to enter
plises Of this kind has been, that pro-
jects are suggested, fcebly agitated,
and then abandoned, For want OF that
patient persistent effort, which is ne
cessary to the success Of all nascent
enterprises. This must not be- 80 in
this case. Another failure would 80
stagger public confidence, that all such
projects will henceforth be looked on
as cl'imerical day dreams. We must
not fail.
The way to build q railroad is to
build it-mile at time. yard by yard,
if necessary. Let this be made q pop
ular enterprise, and trust to the peo-
pie to build the road. We have never
tried the merit Of small popular sub
scriptions. Many q mickle makes a
muckle, and many nickle makes a
pile Of dollars. Let ns begin, canvass,
get subscriptions, obtain terminal IA
cilities and rights Of way, and then by
united and persistent effort, the road
can be built, and it must be built

11AR1UL EXPLOSION.
a store II Canpts Wrsskea-TnFse
Persons assisssly injured.
Last Saturday afternoon tho good
people Of Campte were startled BY q
defamation which shock every build
ing in that town, as if visited BY an
earthquake.
fastening from their stores and
residences, the citizens discovered
the store Of Mr.. Salimus Raphiel in
ruins, and . dense canopy Of sulphu-
rous smoke enveloping the structure.
The people rushed to the spot to as
&c, tain the cause Of the sudden ex-
plosion and the damage done to
property and persons, as we'll as to
extinguish the FIRE which had broken
out in the building.
From parties who we're present
Immediately after the explosion, We
CLEAN the following particulars Of
the occurrence:
Mr.. s. Raphiel had been selling
some powder to a customer and pat
the keg under the counter leaving
the stopper out. Shortly afterwards
a colored man stepped up to the
counter and asked Mr.. Raphiel to
give him match to light his pipe.
Mr.. Raphiel took one from box on
the base Of the shelving and drew it
under the edge Of the counter to ig-
mite it. The burning sulphurous end
flew of and falling mo the hole 10
the powder key ignited the explosive
substance and caused the detonation.
The effect was terrific. One CON-
plete side of the building was blown
to pieces carrying with it the shelv-
ing, goods, &C., and tearing away
the fencing outside. On the other
aide a huge hole was torn IN the
weather boarding and jarring an ad-
jacent storehouse. A portion Of the
force Of the explosion went upwards
through the roof, as it fell into the
wreck in the centre.
| Sheriff S. P. Raines WAS present
and with his usual GOODNESS and
presence Of mind, rushed into the de.
bris of the building and first found
Mr.. Raphiel cropping about in the
smoke and helped him ont. He then
found q negro man terribly burned
and got him out of the wrecked bull.
ding. A line of men, with buckets,
was formed to the river, who soor
succeeded in extlnguishing the flames
Nj. Raphiel was ahockingly bruised
about the head and face, and terribly
burned, his clothes being set on fire
His recovery is doubtful. Two ne
gro men who were in the store, wer,
also badly burned and will probabl.
die from the effects Of their injuries
Mr.. Raphiel was standing almost di
rectly over the powder when it ex
ploded, and his escape from instan
death seems miraculous.
But little damage was done by tn
fire, bat the loss by the explosion va
, considerable.
il It was a most fortuitous eircum
stance that 90 few persons we're il

THE LATE SENATOR BURNSIDE
New Orleans Picayune.

Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, of
Rhode Island, who suddenly died at
Bristol, in that State, Tuesday, was
quite a genius. He wasa soldier, a
ra.lroader, and senator. He inven-
ted a breech- loading rife, and in 1852
he resigned his commission in the
army in order to manufacture his ri
fle. He was a West Pointer, and serv-
ed in the Mexican war, and against
the Indians. In the late war he be-
gan as colonel OF the lat Rhode Island
volunteer infantry, and at the first
battle of Bull Run he commanded a
brigade. He was made brigadier,
and afterwards major general. He
commanded the expedition to North
Carolina in 1862. At Antietam he
commanded the left wing of the army.
He was at one time in command of
the Army Of the Potomac, and again
he commanded the Ninth Army Corps.
He served till April, 1858. He was
elected Governor OF Rhode Island in
1866, 1867 and 1868. During the
Franco-German war he was admitted
within the French and German lines
in and about Paris, acting az q me-
dunn of communication between the
hostile nations. His term in the
United States Senate began March 4,
1875, and expired March 4, 1882. In
1858 he was treasurer of the Illinois
Central Railroad, and II we are not
mistaken he built the Cairo and Vim
cennes Railroad (which has recently
been purchased by Gould's Wabash
SYSTEM. At any rate he was presi-
dent OF it about ten years ago. His
death will make no difference in the
political composition of the Senate
because Gov. Littledeld can commits.
sion a Republican till the meeting Of
the Legislature; but there will then
be three Republican Senators who
have not been sworn in.

Brown children of the Autumn wood,
You tell me of the oiden time,
When DER the hillside paths roamed,
In bright October'S golden prime.
When meath the naples all atame,
| dreamed the pleasant hours away:
While round me like picture fair
The woodlands i'll their beauty lay.
And the white, miSt-lille fairy veil,
Came slowly creeping up the hill.
FROM where the river haStrned on
10 the. broad pond beside the mill.
There mid the grass and fragrant ferns,
Just parted from their bury home,
AMID the leaves all saffron dyed,
The cheStnu,S law around me >trewn.
All! then what Joyous task was mine,
NV basket with brown nuts I" fill:
While mid the bough> the light-winged ia,
Gives me Il welcome loud and ShriIl.
How we'll love each woodland voice,
The squirrel chirp, he brook low son:
The music Of the air larpS wild
Burue by the wondering winds along.
That messy seat beneath the tre>Se,
The wood with spicy perfume sweet,
The carpet golden, green and brown,
BY Nature spread beneath my feet.
| nc'er shall see such woods again.
Those Autumn days can come no more:
For life has driited me away
From youth enchanted, tlowery shore.
How strong the tie hat binds the heart
To all il loved when life. was new.
The hillside path, the orchard slope,
The pastures where the berries grew.
And here in commerce crowded mart.
Amid this restless. busy life,
Where ali the world seems met to see
Who shall be foremost in the strife,
Mid ali the sounds that fill the street,
These small brown nuts in boxes piled,
Bring back to me my vanished youth,
And am once again IL child.
