"Army Life, Private's Reminiscent
ces of the Civil War;" is the title of an
interesting work, the author of which
is Rev Theodore Gerrish of Bucksport,
late IA member of the twentieth Maine
volunteers. The introduction is writ
ten by Hon. Josiah II. Drummond.
There have been many histories of the
war written, aud many books detailing
the experiences of army life, but none
of them have been written from the
standpoint of private. This lack Mr..
Gerrish has endeavOred to supply in
his book. Many of these sketches
originally appeared as army Sketch
es" in the Belfast Journal during the
war. which have been revised and adj
ditions made, the whole forming an in
teresting collection of experiences
written by one who served in the

nNJusT IMPUTATIONs.

LII the course of an article provoked
by the ridiculous address of DIR. Ledet
to the Republicans of the Third Congress
sional District, the New Orleans RepubH-
can condemns the document as calculated
"to impose on the ignorant and weaken
their political attachment to the Repub-
lican party and thus create diversion
in favor of Mr.. Acklen, the Democratic
candidate for Congress, or some sore
headed, bnll-in-a-china-shop Republican,
who may feel that lie has heaven born
right to 20 to Congress, whether his
party nominate him or not" We believe
the last portion of this sentence is lev
eled at Judge Beattie, and we must
except to it as an unjust impntation. 1t
should not be forgotten that he was the
nominee of the party for Congress IN
1880 by the unanimous vote Of full con-
vention, and voluntarily resigned the
prize that was within his grasp. In the
face of this action the charge that he has
an inordinatc ambition to go to Congress
can hardly be established Aud further,
we have heard Judge Beattie declare
that he is not an. Independent candidate
for Congress, but is seeking the Republi-
can nomination, and that reports 1.-The
contrary are circulated in the interest of
opposing aspirants. Add to this the fact
that Judge Beattie had no part in the
connection or publication of the Ledet
manifesto and did not even read it until
some days after it's distribution through
the district, aud the injustice Of the Re
publican's insinuations becomes doub]J
manifest.

KussIH, KELLOGG.

Our Alexandria contemporary, Ve the
People, evidently deriving its Inspiration
from Ex-Governor Madison Wells, is
reaching ont after Senator Kellogg's
scalp with much ferocity, the pretext
for the assault being that the Senator,
/" a carpet-bagger," is maneuyerlng to
have himself elected to Congress to
succeed DIR. Darrall, "a native Of LOUISE
ana" Our contrere is somewhat Off his
base concerning the nativity Of the
Representative from this district. The
Doctor first saw the light in Somerset
county, Pennsylvania, not long after the
optics of Senator Kellogg opened upon
tile green mountains Of Vermont; both
came South during the war and adopted
the Louisiana pelican as stepmotier
about the same time, hence, so far as
concerns the accident Of birth, the
honors are even between them.
In order to demonstrate the unfitness
Of Mr.. Kellogg to represent US in Con-
gress, the People publishes letter
written to him several years ago by ex-
Gov. Wells, wherein the writer declares
in effect that IL hesis not left undlsturbed
in the enjoyment Of his federal Office he
will tell all lie knows concerning alleged
dark deeds committed during Governor
Kellogg's administration and thus have
that functionary condemned to do the
State some service at Baton Rouge
which was not then the State Capital.
AS we find no sinof omission or commits
sion referred to III the letter which has
not been repeatedly alleged against Mr.
Kellogg before as his reply-also pub
lshed by the People-invites Mr.. Wells
to disclose to the authorities whatever
information he may possess duplicating
the writer in any criminality, and as this
challenge was never accepted, we are at
loss to see how the reproduction OF the
correspondence at this time can affect
Mr.. Kellogg's capacity or fitness as
member of Congress.
If we were to believe one 1.-THE OF the
vicious and unkind things that have
been said of Gov. Wells, we shouit
regard him as corrupt, INSCRIPTIONS
and very bad man, but as we know tina
| these criticisms were engendered by
political malice or personal hatred, W.
decline to regard them as worthy Q
credence by unbiased minds; and it il
| only fair that the same rule should appl,
| in Senator Kellosg's case.

Seed for the Overlooked.
Appropriation by Congress for its Purchase
and Distribution.

Appropriation by Congress Tor It's fuFenase
and Distribution.
Special telegram to the CHIEF:
WASHINGTON, u, c., April &, 1882.
Congress today by unanimous consent
passed tue bill introduced by Gen. }. Floyd
King of Louisiana appropriatlng twenty
thousand dollars to be expended by the
Commissioner Of Agriculture in the purchase
and distribution Of seed among those suffer
ing from the overflow. a.
The foregoing dispatch was received
on the 9TH inst, and should have
appeared in our issue of last Saturday,
but 1t was overlooked by the foreman
and omitted.
The bill introduced by Mr.. King is one
of the most substantial relief measures
that could have been devised, and il the
fund which it provides is juaiciously
expended The benefits resulting therefrom
will produce Il hundred fold return for
the governmental bread thus cast upon
the waters. 1t is of course presumable
that in tho distribution of the seed to be
purchased by the Commissioner Of Agri-
culture, care will be taken to supply
those who are least able to procure with
their own means the material necessary
for replacing the crops destroyed by the
innndation.

During the past week the trains on the
Pacific railroad have made Donaldson
Vile their western terminus, the water
from the overflow having covered the
track between here and Bayou Goula to
such a depth as to render the passage of
trains impracticable. The backwater
having begun to recede, it is expected
that travel OH the road to Plaquemine at
least, and perhaps to Baton Rouge, will
be resumed in the course of a few days.
In the meantime, the Transmission of
mails to points between Donaldsonville
and Bayou Sara has been sadly interfered
with and tri-weekly service by the
Vicksburg boats has been temporarily
substituted for the daily service via the
railroad and the steamer Morning Star.
1t was expected that the Star would run
between Baton Rouge and this place,
making daily connection with the train
from New Orleans, but We learn this
arrangement was rendered impracticable
by an acciden. to the Star-the breaking
Of her shaft. Superintendent Morse is
on the qui rice and will send his trains
through at the earliest possible day.

to the New York Herald, that ten per
cent of the cultivated lands of Rapides
parish have been inundated is objected
to by the Alexandria Express rs greatly
exaggerated. The Express says that not
more than one per cent. of these lands
were submerged. There is large de-
mand for laborers in Rapides and good

Rev. Henry Highland Garnett, the dis
tinguished colored United States Minis
ter to Liberia, died at Monrovia on the
14th of February. He was one of the
best educated colored men in the world,
the equal of Frederick Douglass in nat
ural ability and his superior in learning,
and his career was truly remarkable as
the following brief biographical sketch
from the New York Christian .4drocate
will show:
Grandson of native African brought
over i'll slave-trader. himself born slave,
he was brought to Pennsylvania by his
father, when he fed from slavery in 1924.
Next we find him, at the age of u, ridiculed
for studying Greek and Latin then mobbed
in {; New Hampshire seminary; then drove
from a street car in Utica: then studying
theology with DR.. Beman in Troy, n. Y.
Soon he was settled as q minister; after
ward he travelled III Great Britain and on
the Continent of Europe, and was sent by a
Scottish society as Presbyterian missionary
to Jamaica, West Indies. He returned to
New York and was long the pastor of the
Shiloh Presbyterian Church, his house
escaping the riots in 1868 81 by the foresight
OF his daughter. who wrenched off the door
plate He was the first colored man who
ever spoke in public in the Capitol at Wash
ington. having preached there Sunday, Feb.
II, 1865. In 1881 lie was appointed Minister
10 Liberia. We heard him make a
speech in 1865 which. in force of reasoning,
purity of language aud propriety of utter
ance, was not unworthy Of comparison with
a sermon Of Bishop Thomson Or an address
Of George William Curtis. As he was g a
full-booded Negro" he was standing and
unanswerabIe proof that the race is capable
of all that has distinguished MAN.

A RIDICULOUS MANIFESTO.

Der of the Republican Congressional
committee Of the Third District, recent
ly relieved his mia by circulating an
address to the Rep plican voters of the
district descantins nj upon the inferior
quality of their Il presentation in Con-
gress for the past in; years, denouncins
DR.. Darrall for Having fastened :" his
brother-in-law ands crowd of merccna-
ries" upon the pnAsc service in positions
which are little mob than sinecures; and
characterizing Morris Marks as " that
prince of jugslers-a man in no way con
nected with the district and having no
hold upon its affections" The overflow
and its consequent damage to crops, loss
of stock and destruction Of lomesteads
is ascribed by this srandiloquent adj
dress to the "rapacity Of these cormo-
rants "-"the infamous quartette, Darrall,
Merchant and Ma1ss!" The document
concludes with an appeal to the voters
addressed to abe ~ longer disgraced by
this mercenary hob of tricksters" but
to stand by theJ district committee,
whose names are esgenionsly appended
in such way as to create the impression
among casual or Ut linking readers that
the members of that committee have

snbterfuge has since been demolished
by the committee adopting resolution
repudiating the pronunciamento. Mr.
