NEW ORLEANS, La July 7th, 'S5
Major S. T. Grisamore,
ThibOdaux, La,

Major s. T. GriSamOre,
Thibodaux, La,
Dear Sir:-I had read, with a
glow of pride and deep admiration,
the addresses delivered at Baton
Rouge. in memory of the noble Con
federate Governor, Henry Watkins
Allen. With still deeper sensibili
ty have l since perused your touch
ing tribute to the memory OF that
gallant hero, Col. Leopold Armant.
| was near the noble Governor when
that proud spirit yielded to the
death of the martyr, where it had
been preceded, on its march heaven
ward, by the kindred spirit OF Col.
Alfred Mouton. The latter had
been personally known to me, at
college, when his noble, handsome
father was in the Senate of the Uni
ted States ; aud q warm-hearted,
manlier youth l had never known.
He was, alas! the guide of that ia
Their and the pet of the noble ma
tron, his mother; and his death
must have made their heart.fbres
tremble with intense anguish. And
what should l say, too, of the gal
liant Geo. p. McPheeters. of Missis
sippi, who threw away, alas! his
valuable lite at Labadieville! He
TOO, was my constant co-student il
the Law Department of the Unive1
sity of Louisiana ; and we'll do
remember the synthetic grasp an1
the brilliant coruscations of tina
immortal mind of his! 1t is well
my dear friend to recall these 81
cred heroes of the Past, that thei
examples may inspire the youn'
men of the Present to strive for dii
tinctlon in some grander aren;
than the drinking booths, wher
heart and mind and soul are sacr
feed on the altar of Behemoth.

the Bayou.
1t is reported also that an offer
has been made to sink a drove well
at the same place. AS those wells
have been obtained in various
places in New Orleans, it Is very
probable that d like success would
be had here. The Council would
do better to expend a couple Of hun
dred dollars in the sinking of a
well, even if it prove a failure.
One we'll of that kind would be
worth a dozen windmills.
Let the attempt be made and the
fact ascertained whether water car
