Each and all of those who glory in their hostile disregarded for the preservation of the Union ought to be sentenced to a twelve month's tour through foreign countries, especially through the monarchical States of the European Continent. Having returned home perfectly cured, as may be expected, of their disunion rabid-ness, they will be able to enlighten their former party associates on certain points which these do not seem to be fully acquainted with. How does it happen that citizens of the North, Americans of all the States, in spite of their Republican creed, may travel from one end of Europe to the other without being molested and annoyed by the suspecting treasou-scouting police that tbey may venture into the very dens of the lions that they may stand unscathed amidst the lava fires of bursting revolutions?

The business of indigo Raising is very troublesome, and the plant becomes subject to disease.
The price of indigo having fell ao very low was the prime cause of its total abandonment for that of the cultivation of cotton. This occurred a few years prior to the purchase of Louis isana; and at the same time the culture of cotton was commenced in the Attakapas, sugar was commenced on the Mississippi. Cotton was abandoned about forty years ago, since which time the cultivation of the sugar cane has occupied almost the exclusive attention of agriculturists. St. Mary is now the largnst sugar growing parish in the State.

At the com mencement of the Reform Medical College, an oration to the grad uates was delived by Col. O. A. Lo chrane. The following concluding remarks are applicable to all classes of young men As a means of resisting the temptation of youth, I would only repeat a long entertained conviction that young men should mary early in life, and commence its cares with some loving heart to learn upon, and the inspiration of some scft, voice to oerve him for the conflict of care into which he enters.

She will bring heaven to earth to cheer you with its promises, and even though her tears will rise a bow of happiness to span your future, and betoken a brighter to-morrow for your fortunes. POWKR OF THE MOON AT NlOCT. Mr.
in his letter from the East, has observed "The effect of the moonlight on the eyes in this country (Egypt) is singular injurous. The natives tell you, as 1 afterwards found they did in Arabia, to always cover your eyes when you sleep in the open air. It is rather stsange that the passage in the Psalms 'the sun shall not smite thee by day nor moon by night' should have thus been illustrated' as the allusion seems to direct. The moon here really strikes and effects the sight, when you are exposed to it, much more than the sun, a fact of which I had a very unpleasant proof one night, and took care to guard against afterwards. Indeed, the sight of a persons who should sleep with his face exposed at night, soon be impaired or utterly destroyed." "Twenty-Three Bales to the ITand.w Our townsman, Dr.
Berry, who has recently been on a trip to the great cotton region of Louisiana, has placed on our table two packages of cotton, obtained at the gin house of a gentleman who last year gathered "twenty-three bales to the hand," and this year will gather as much if not more. One of the packages represents the cotton as carried to the gin the other, after it had been ginned, and made ready for the press. Any one who will examine these samples, and compare them with the cotton made in this part of Mississippi, will readily appreciate the great difference between picking and gathering cotton, and will cease to wonder at the complaints which reach us from Manchester, as to dirty and trashy cotton.

It is simply biB character as a citizen of the United States, which insures tl American traveler privale- ges and facilities conceded to no other nation, not even the British. The name of the Union is as inseparably associated with the idea of power in the minds of the rulers, as it is with liberty in the minds of the nations. The cereainty that their powerful Union would promptly redress any wrong inflicted, endows the American with that self-confidence and reliance proverbially known all over Europe. While the lonely star of of South Carolina is not perceptible to the dis tant eye, the one and thirty stars of the Union are shining with dazzling splendor on the political horizon of the world. bile the name of Mas sachusetts is a hard, unpronounceable word for Luropean tongues, the North American Union is a term fa miliar to, and revered by the last of the people.

It is a case too of which we can speak with some warmth of feeling, if not eloquently; because, it touches the person of an old friend, with whom in the days bygone, we have often strutted and fretted upon the stage-Col.
Carlos B. was born at sea, in a voyage from La Belle France, to this country. As Lis parents were both from that vine clad country, and as the Lour of Lis nativity came before the vessel was half way here; of course naturally enough, his proclivities were always to the point from which Le started; which as we think was Bordeaux. When Carlos got well to lo, in the world as he very soon did by energy and economy, Le turned Lis face towards France. However we get in advance of tho story which is no 6tory but the naked truth.
With Lis wealth, came honors and distinctions; they being as nearly allied in this as any other country. He was appointed by one of the late Governors of the State to the responsible office of Colonel in Lis staff. The place is one of Lonor only. There is no salary and no provision of law even to uniform the Staff, bo it is allowed the privilege of doing as it likes on this point. Our friend had quite a military bearing was fond of the pomp and circ*mstance of war could sing La Martdlaue, and whistle Yankee Doodle.
When he had fully made up his mind to go, he gave Lis measure to a tailor for full Colonel's uniform, embracing, all the flip-flaps and Btraps he got himself the tallest co*ck's feather, that ever grew in the tail of that noble animal, and upon Lis sword (rumor says 6o) Le lavished three hundred ducats of gold. lie had bis name elegantly pricked ia tie.
