of October proceeded by a rapid march toward Pine Bluff; hoping to surprise Colonel Clayton, who was in garrison there with the Fifth Kansas. But the latter had been reinforced by the First Indiana cavalry, which had its force increased to six hundred combatants and kept on its guard; bales of cotton piled up barricaded the streets of the village; the courthouse was turned into a redoubt hastily fortified and defended by nine guns. Marmaduke, advancing in three columns on the morning of October 25th, met with an unexpected resistance. His four pieces of artillery covered the houses with projectiles; he carried several barricades, which he set on fire; penetrated as far as the courthouse, to which the garrison had retired; but he could not force this redoubt, and, giving up the attack, soon retreated. He acknowledged a loss of forty men, and the Federals that of fifty-seven. At the end of the year 1863 we have penetrated into the East, the centre, the South, and the West. We hav

Under the encouragement and security of the royal charter, this people did, at their own charges, transport themselves, their wives and families, over the ocean, purchase the land of the natives, and plant this colony, with great labor, hazards, cost, and difficulties; for a long time wrestling with the wants of a wilderness, and the burdens of a new plantation; having also, now above thirty years, enjoyed the privilege of govern-men<

On the twenty-fifth of October they adopted an Address to the Superior Council, written by Lafreniere and Caresse, rehearsing their griefs, and in their Petition of Rights, they claimed freedom of commerce with the ports of France and America, and the expulsion of Ulloa from the Colony. The Address, sustained by the signatures of five or six hundred persons, was adopted the next day by the Council, in spite of the protest of Aubry; and when the French flag was displayed on the public square, children and women r

The citizens of New Orleans entreated time for a petition to Charles the Third; the wives, daughters, and sisters of those who had not shared in the revolution, appealed to O'Reilly for mercy; but without effect. Tradition will have it, that the young and gallant Noyau, newly married, might have escaped; but he refused to fly from the doom of his associates. Gayarre's Louisiana, III. 338, 339.

ir eyes met.--"John Hardwick, as sure as I am living!" exclaimed she. "Jane, is it you?" said John.--It proved to be both of them, and after mutual explanations, Mr. Hardwick accompanied the lady home, carrying her market-basket for her. Two children met them at the door. They were blue-eyed and rosy-cheeked — just like those John had left behind, and just as large — but they did not have features like John's.-- "What matters it," thought our hero--"my two children are dead, and these are sent to take their places — I will be a farther to them." Mr. John Hardwick was as good as his word. He helped Mrs. Mathews"formerly Mrs Hardwick, and destined to be again --to dispose of her property; then calling a clergyman, they had the matrimonial link tied again strong and fast. In two days they started for the East, where, we hope, in Pittsburg or some other delightful town, they are enjoying at the meridian of life, another honeymoon as pleasant as the first.--St. Louis Bulletin, Oct. 25

Astounding intelligence — doleful news — can the world survive — will not the sun be extinguished — will not the stars fight in their courses — does not the moon already run blood — will not nature undergo a convulsion which shall destroy all future existences in the germ! The King is dead! George II. is dead! He expired suddenly on the 25th of October! Oh! what a calamity, ye nations. A King die! say the young. We never beard of a King's dying before. We thought it was impossible. A King die! say the old. Such a thing has not happened for the last thirty-three years, to us, at least. True, my friends! even Kings are mortal.
