FROM SENATOR STRICKLAND
GKEENsBURG, La, July %, 1854.
EDrToR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:

ED1ron ST. TAMMANY FARMER:
In a copy Of your valuable paper,
OF the 18th inst, I find the state
ment that DR.. w. H. Yates acrote
the report of the committee on the
Old and New Basin Canals and
Shell Road. This is an error. |
wrote that report, as every member
of the committee knows. Being
chairman of the Senate committee,
it was my duty to write it. Had l
failed, it would have been the duty
of Mr.. Bulger, chairman of the
House colnmittee-a task for which,
I doubt not, he would have been
fully competent. DR.. Yates assist
ed, efficiently, i'll copying the re-
port for the use Of the House, as it
was proper and advisable to sub
NIT the report to the House and
Senate on the same day. 1 gave
these canals my special attention,
with what success the Senate
journal will show, and those who
know the nature and energy of my
efforts will testify, as l believed the
people of my district naturally and
specially interested in them; but /
fear that they would place but
small value upon my services, could
they believe that was incompetent
to write committee report.
Yours truly, NJ. A. STRICKLAND.
In reference to the above COM
munication, we will state. in justice
to both parties, that we may have
been mistaken, in recording our in
terview with DIR. Yates, i'll report
ing him as saying that he acrote the
report on the New and Old Basins
and Shell Road. instead OF merely
copying it. The report was very
lengthy and comprehensive, and we
accord to Senator Strickland oil
due honor and credit as being the
prime mover in the investigation OF
the two canals and author of the
report above referred to.

The sound of the bugle on Monday
night last brought Col Hlller's old war
horse out TO the camp fire. With head
and ears erect and nostrils dilated, old
Charley cleared The pasture fence W 18th
4 hound and was soon as near the cir
Gle of old veterans as the court house
fence would permit.
The G. A. RS, of this place, had
their camp fire at the court house last
Monday night. 1t was open TO the
public and the spectators were numer-
Gus. There were great many peo-
pie from the country in the audience.
The programme furnished lots OF fun
for all present, consisting as 1t did OF
campfire songs, anecdotes and remin-
iscences of the march and bIvouac.
Rev. Gaiser stated in an opening ad-
dress the objects OF the association, in
which he disclaimed any political pur-
poses. In fact, according to his state
gncnt, the membership has a majority
of democrats. The "boyS" told some
pretty tough yarns, and revived some
good old songs that long-continued
peace are threatening with glorious
oblivion, notable among which were

SMALL POTATOES.

An effort is now being made in the
State to heal the unfortunate differ
ence which for some time past has
afflicted the party. The other Gay
representatives of both branches met
in St Lonis and agreed to report
plan to thei9 respective bodies, which
if adopted would bring about the de-
sired result. But the GL0Be.Dem0frat.
because the name of FIlley appears in
the list of names, has done and is doing
its best to defeat the project. 1t seems
to think that this man must not be
mentioned at all, or there Will be dam
ger OF the whole party falling into his
management.
We admire the GL0be-Dem0crat for
some things, but as heartily desplse it
for others. 1t would have the outside
world think the Republicans are a par
eel OF fools, who come and go at the
nod and beck of one man. Its ha-
tired of this man would let it sink the
whole party, if by doing so it could
efectualIy squelch Filley. Andyet it
says he has no following in the State
and is completely played out. The
Fsgeille is not a "Filley Organ" but
is owned and edited by the proprietor,
and is prepared to say and prove that
Mr.. F. has more influence in one day
with his party in Missouri, than the
| GL06s-Dem0out has in a whole year.
Should We search IN memory with a
small tooth comb, we could not name
a single representative Republican
journal that considers the Gk0be Dem0-
rrat an authority, but all know that
its whole conduct is guided by person.
al hate and petty spite.
1t is high time that the country
press should speak out and let II be
known by this disturber of harmony
that no man IS big enough to dictate
to the Republicans OF Missouri what
company they shall keep, or with
whom they shall associate.
While the ReoaHe does not consider
Mr.. Filley perfection, yet between him
and the GI0be-DsmOtyat it will take

A RAID.

There is every indication OF a regu.
larly organized raid by the present
congress on the national treasury.
There is nothing truer than the state
ment that an oYerfowlng treasury is a
standing invitation for all sorts of job
berry and extravaganza. Just now our
worthy legislators are wrestling with
the serious problem of Uncle Sans
plethoric purse, and various are the
schemes for relieving the pressure.
Schemes for rebuilding the navy :;
schemes for national educational ap-
preparation; for building costly posi-
offices all over the country; back pay
and pension schemes for soldiers
river and harbor appropriations and so
on to the end OF the chapter. We
agree heartily with the Quincy Hhfg
when it says: "Soldiers and sailors OF
the Union are doubtless entitled to all
the reward which a grateful country
can beStow for :heir services, but reck-
less legislation of this or any other
class is certain to prove premium for
fraud and forgery. 1t is time that
pension bills were carefully scrutinized
by the true friends Of the soldiers in
b 9th houses of congress, to the enc
that arrears of pensions and additiona
pay may be granted only 10 those who
actually served in the war ofthe rebel
ion."
Connected with all these schemes
concealed as they may be with benev.
olent or patriotic pretensions, lurk al
immense amount of jobbery and dem
agogery.
1t is time the people learned th'
fact that the nation, no more thar al
individual can disregard the plain prir
ciples ofordinary thrift and prudence
with impunity, and that whatever i
expended recklessIy or wastfully is los
worse than los.; and that taking on
of one pocket and putting it in anothe
never made either a man or a natio,
rich or prosperous.

THE TWO COMMITTEES.

Its not generally known or consid-
erad that the State of Missouri has now
two republican state committees; one
headed by Chauncey1 Filley, the 9TH
er by Van Horn, Burch ct al. That
headed by Fllley is the one regularly
organized, in pursuance of a state con-
vention in the regular manner presided
by custom and usage; that by Van
Horn was called INTO being by bolt
ing faction headed dy the Gl05e Dem-
carat and the kicking office seeking fra

at war with Filley. The regular State
Committee, as organized under Filley

policy which was thought best for the

other eight of the committee, headed

and appointed a new committee, in

built up great manufactures. Let any
man travel through the state of Penn
sylvania and see the smoke stacks of
the great furnaces, pointing heaven
ward and the contented face of the
toiler in them. l can remember when
many of them stood idle and men were
out of employment and children were
crying for bread all because the dem
ocracy of the south held the balance
of power and free trade with one fell
swoop had not only destroyed our
great iron trade, but the whole business
of our country suffered greatly. The
democrats are again in power with
southern man as speaker of the House.
Holding to the same old fossilized
ideas of his predecessors, who when
they could no longer rule this great
free people, robbed the treasury and
plunged into an open rebellion. This
same party is trying to gam reputa-
ton among the young men OF our
country to win their votes and finally
to give the reins of our government in
to the hands Of the very men who tried
to ruin our glorious Union. Let them
stand up and explain the "Danville
riot" in Virginia, the murder of Math,
ews in Copiah county Mississippi, the
South Carolina election frauds be-
fore they ask to be trusted with our
good ship of state. The blush of
shame ought to mantle the cheek Of
every democrat when he talks about
free speech and the proper use of the
ballot. They clamor for more rigid
law towards the Cinnamon for the
ayowed purpose of gaming favor on

how murderous to the best interest Of

not and will not trust such party.
Let the Republican party nominate
the man who anticipated the orders of
his superior officer at Atlanta, took
command of the left wing Of the army
and brought victory out of apparent
deieat-tRe citizen soldier-the man
who would not stoop to listen to the
murderous propositions OF the black
guard from Mississippi IN the U. S.
Senate. Give us honest John a. Lo-
gan for President, and Senator Miller,
of California for the second place on
the ticket and We will sweep the whole
country for the republican party. a

one in whom we can trust the great
future OF our nation.
