ROLL CALL.

corporal Green" the orderly cried
"Herer was the answer loud and
clear,
From the lips of soldier who stood
near,
And "Here /" was the word the next re-
piled.
"Cyrus Drew"-then a silence fell 8
This time no answer followed the
call;
Only his rear man had seen him fall ;
Killed or wounded he could not tell.
There they stood in the failing light,
These men OF battle, with grave, dark
looks,
As plain to be read as open books,
While slowly gathered the shades OF
night.
The fern ON the hillside was splashed
with blood,
And down in the corn where the pop
pies grew
Were redder stains than the peoples
knew,
And crimson-dyed was the rivers
flood.
For the foe had crossed from the other
side
That day in the face of murderous
fire
That swept them down in its terrible
ire,
And their life blood went to color the
tide.

Two stalwart soldiers into the line,

They were brothers, these two, the
sad winds sighed.
And shudder crept through the corn
field near.
"Ephraim Deane !"-then soldier
spoke;
"Deane carried our regiments COL

Just after the enemy wavered and

ADDRESS
The State Central Executive Commit
tee to the Democratic
Party.


The campaign now about to be
opened in this State may be conf
IDENTITY expected one of great activity
and strenuous exertion on the part
of the Republican party. Fearing
the popular verdict upon the just
closed legislature, and executive &C.
lions of their leaders, a determined
effort has been inaugurated to secure
o majority in the next house of rep.
resentatives; with unblusbing eff
frontery the party authorities have
entered upon system of extortion
and exaction without parallel in the
history of American politics. TIE
incumbents of Federal offices, high
and low, in every branch of govern
mental service, are required to con-
tribute to the party treasury, under
pain of official displeasure and GER
tain displacement. The power and
authority of those in high places are
given without stint in aid of.the par
tisan warfare, now wagea without
even the small merit ii seeming con-
ei,os with executive prerogative.
Industriously has the party in
power attempted entrance into the
very homes of our people, and by
artifice and promises of patronage
seduce the weak and cajole the NAL
contents, in open hostility and actual
contest for office. There is not
southern State where desertion from
party and principle has not been en-
couraged and the payment of price
fixed upon and assured We need
not turn to our sister States for illus
tration, but in our constituency, it
has now become manifest that bids
have been offered and the dealer in
such questionable traffic ready to
make delivery. This can and must
. be met and defeated by the Democ.
racy of Louisiana, ever true to the
traditions and integrity of the party.
The same causes that produced re-
volt to Republican rule and brought
about its destruction, are at present
and potent now, and as loudly, call
for the united action of our people.
The liberty and happiness of our
people must ever be set deep down
in our hearts, and therefore we mnst
not yield the fruits and victories
now, nor must we relax in one par
ticular lest the memories of the past
be renewed in the bitterness and
dangers of the near future. The
fight must be made by the people;
out of their might must come the
issue of right-the success of the
Democratic party. We have neither
public or private treasures at our
command, nor the means to lavish
money upon trimmers and strikers
for their doubtful aid, nor is it need
ed by people in securing for them
selves the blessings of free and good
government. You are therefore
earnestly requested to organize your
parish and district committees al
at once; to put the party upon an
efficient and vigorous footing and
secure the personal and active can
yass by your candidates aud citizens

QUEEN VICTORIA.
Holding Communication With
the spirit OF the Prince
C0EsOFt.

John Brown, Queen Victoria 5
confidential servsnt, is, according to
the Paris Figaro, a spiritualistic me-
dunn, and it is because of his use
fulness in keeping up communication
with the departed Prince Albert that
he has been suffered to sustain his in
innate relations with Her Majesty.
AT some great Cabinet councils she
reserves her opinion; II must first
she says, consult the spirit of Prince
Albert" The Partisan journal draws
the following picture of ceremonies
which it says takes place at Balmoral
Castle:
She goes into the studio of the de-
ceased, who is always alive to her; she
sits in bis iavorite arm chair; facing
her on a chair are arranged the
clothes of the Prince, seeming to avail
his coming; a great fire is lighted on
the vast baronial hearth. Johr
Brown respectfully brings on a plat,
the basin of Cruel which his masteI
used to take every evening, and place
it on a hob, as ifhe we're going to tax,
it. The. Queen has paper on he
knee, a pencil in her right hand. Shl
calls the spirit of her absent husband
The chair moves, cracks aud answer
by blows of its feet on the carpet. Tn.
alphabet of spiritualism is known. 8
many blows signify each letter. He
Majesty asks questions and her ser
want Brown translates to her th
Princes answers. The living and tn
dead thus converse of the things Q
this world and the other. These ar
pious vigils whence the Queen goe
forth consoled, for her grief is one 9
those which only end with life.
