Permit me through the columns of your paper, to announce to the citizens of the parish and surrounding country, that i will have for exhibition in Fhreveport on the 4th of July next, one of the greatest curiosities probably that ever appeared on earth. I have been overseer of what is known ;is the Jones Farm, in this parish, near Ferry Lake. There is on the farm a ne gro boy about 18 mouths old, who, about a month and a half since, had a pair of horns to make their appearance on the front part of the head, precisely in ap pearance to those of a young deer; they are now about one and a half month old, and are full six inches long, well covered with velvet, and on one of them two spikes making their appearanco, and are still growing remarkably fast. I have succeed ed in purchasing said negro from the for mer owner, and will exhibit him as above on the Fourth of July, at Shreveport free of charge, and shall start on from Shreve port to Vickeburg, and other western cit ies, also to New York, to make an arrange ment with Barnum to exhibit this as one of nature's greatest freaks to all the world and the rest of mankind.

These facts are important to be kept in mind. cemnein Gov. Seeder's Recall. The official correspondence relative to tho recall of Gov. Reeder, from the Gov ernorship of Kansas, shows that the Pres ident had an exceedingly slim pretext for his subserviency to the South. The sub stance, as briefly summed up by the New ark Advertiser, is, that Gov. Reeder was charged with an illegal purchase of lauds from the Indians. This Gov. Reeder de nied, stating that he had only agreed to purchase a certain tract in connection with other persons, providing the contract met the approval of the President. Sub sequently it was submitted to the Presi dent, who disapproved of it, and thus there was no purchase. Som'e days before no tice was given of this latter, Gov. Reeder received his letter of dismissal, it beinr alleged that certain other transactions had been unexplained though these do not appear to have been deemed of sufficient importance by the Administration to call for them explicitly. Indeed it is evident that they would rather not wait for ex planations, which would have taken away even this slim pretext for his removal. The whole transaction is a palpable man ifestation of the weakness and subservien cy of the President to his slaveholdrng ru lers. The X. Y. Evening Post states that all the pretexts given for Rcedcr's removal arc false, and that during the Governor's late visit to the East, and since all the facts in relation to the purchase of lands were fully known in Washington, the President offered to appoint him Com missioner to China if he would resign. The Governor declined the honor, prefer ring to light out the battle in which he had engaged for the people of Kansas, to what, under the circumstances, might be construed into ail ignominious flight It is not likely, if the President had scruple, about Rceder's moral fitness for tho gov crnorship of Kansas, that he would have proposed to him a much higher dignity with better pa', as an inducement to re sign. No! Governor Reeder was re moved to conciliate the slavery propagan dists and strengthen the Administration party in North Carolina and Tenuesec at the elections just closed. It was stroke of the same digniGed policy whicl dictated the "crushing out" letter of Mr Cushing, pending an election in Louisiana or Mississippi some two -cars ago. iy western paper, tbc Ubicago rress, gives additional evidence of the solicitude of the President to have Reeder resign and relieve the President from his embar rassment. The Press says that he em ployed a personal friend of the Governor to manage this business. This " dear friend" wrote to the Governor a letter ful of sympathy for him in his "embarrass ments" and closing with the "friendly ad vice" that he had better resign. A few da3's passed over, and while the President and the Governor's "friend" were anx iously awaiting the letter of resignation it.. 1.11 1 t uie jaiier received a reply wnicn was as follows: "If President Pierce thinks rcsis: nation a sovereign remedy for cmbarrass- me?its, it is about time he was trying i himself." There is as much. truth as poe try in the Governor's reply. A reliable correspondent of the Tii bum endorses the above statements rela tive to the means taken by the President to induce Keeder to resign the office of Governor and adds the further infor mation, that after the Govenor of Kansas had refused to be bought off by the China Mission, President Pierce made a higher bid. He now said that on condition of Rceder's vacating the Governorship in Kansas, he ivoald give him the jilace of Em bascadorto England, from which Mr. Bu chanan was scon to return. The splen 1 M . dor ot this proposition was a matter to consider, and after two days the Govern or gavo his ultimatum. He offered to re sign if the President would write him letter asking him to do so, and publish it iu in. LKut lUL'tiutr wuu uis remv. being understood tnat bis appointment should be gazetted immediately after. The President refused to publish such a correspondence, and the Governor accord ingly left him under the necessity of turn ing out a Territorial Executive for tho sole reason that he would not lend himself to the establishment of Slavery by invasion and conquest, against the will of the vast majority of the people of the Territory. The Know Nothing Organization has produced some singular changes amon the Southern politicians. Ex-Governor Foote, formerly of Mississippi, but now of LaJiiornia, has joined the Order, and mounted the stump in its behalf. Ex Senator Jeremiah Clemens, a politician of the same stripe, has also published a long letter, taking decided ground in fa vor of the new party. These were the twoleading Union Democrats in the strug gle of 1850. On the other hand, Judge Cone, of Georgia, and many others, who were secessionists in that coutest, are now active Know Nothings. But, in place of these, the Damocratic party has at this time the aid of some who were the lead ers of the" whig party in their respective localities, such as John Kerr, of North Carolina. W. B. Preston, of Kentucky, A. II. Stephens, Robt. Toombs and Chas. Jenkins, of Georgia, and James C. Jones, of Tennessee. In fact there has been a general break up and ro-construction of parties at the South, as in the West and North, the masses having been seized with the same changing spirit which has actu ated their quondam leaders. Whether the present arrangement of parties at the South can last is extremely doubtful; but, whether it does or not, all parties in that section appear to agree in sentiment upon questions ot national policy, so that the separation is merely nominal. North A- merican. The apple crop everywhere promises to be very abundant. In Western N. York farmers have been obliged to prop up the limbs of the trees on account of the quan tity of fruit; and it is stated that on the Western Reserve (O.) farmers have made contracts to sell them on thn tro.es. the buyers to gather them, at six to ten cents dor bushel. The Yellow Fever at Portsmouth. We regret to learn that there is no ev idence of an abatement of the yellow fe ver at Portsmouth, and that there is eve ry reason to believe that it is increasing in violence at Norfolk. The Portsmouth correspondent of the Petersburg Express under date of Wednesday, ssys : The report of the Sanitary Committee for the 24 hours ending yesterday after noon at sun-set made through the Chair man, Dr. J. N. Schoolficld, was eight new cases and ten deaths. The disease does not abate at all, and matters arc truely melancholy. The stampede from town is universal. I think I certainly speak within bounds when I say that seven thousand persons have left the place. The town is almost entirely de serted, and those here have a very lone some time. There are not more than five families remaining on Middle street, from High street to the river. Walking to wards the market from my residenco this morning at not a very early hour, there was not a store opened on all my route. Icontinuo the list of the dead and sick, as follows : Mrs. Captain Samuel Barron, wifc'of Captain Barron of the Navy, Mrs. Mor ris, mother of Mr. Wm.

Hlinois. This State has increased in population and wealth with wonderful rapidity. On the 13th April, 1S18, a bill wa3 passed by the House of Representative, almost unanimously; for the admission of Illinois into the Union as a State. The Senate concurred by a large majority. The new State contained thirty million acres of land, being one-Gfth larger than Ohio, and the population was 40,000. In 1850 the number of inhabitants was 84G,034. The first Senators were Jesse B. Thomas and Minian Edwards; the first Represen tative was John McLean. The State has now nine Representatives, and the present population must be over one mil lion. Corn and Potatoes in Ohio. The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the corn and potato crops were never so glorious as this soason. Potatoes are so plentiful that they are exepected to be down to 12A cents a bushel. From Oregon. By papers received by the last arrival from the Pacific wc learn that tho report brought by tho last preceding steamer from Caliioruia, that a mai'ority of the people of Oregon had voted in fovor of a Convention to form a State Government, was incorrect, cjucu was supposed to be the case at first, but tho very largo vote cast against it in Jackson the most southern couuty in the Territory, border ing on California effectually defeated it or the present. The people of Jackson have twice defeated the proposed State organization, from a hope, it is said, that a new .territory may one day be made up of the southern counties of Oregon and the northern counties of California. A man died of apoplexy, the other day, at Michigan. The next morning the coroner held an inquest, when the follow ing verdict was returned : 'died from the visitation of the beef stake, eight cold po tatoes, and a fried pie.' Sensible jury, that. Meat. The Cincinnati Price Current makes an estimate of the amount of cattle, sheep, aud lambs consumed in the United States, during a year, in all tho cities and towns containing over 5000 inhabitants, deduct ed from the statistics of the New York market. It gives these towns an aggro gate population of about four millions of inhabitants, and sets them down as con suming 800,000 head of cattle, aud two and a half millions of sheep and lambs, besides throe millions of hogs, the whole valued at soveuty-one and a half millions of dollars. Two-thirds of this entire product is said to come from the States in the valley of the Ohio. The estimate made for Philadelphia in the Price Cur rent's statement is 101,000 head of cat tle, and 3I3;500 sheep and lambs. From the Newark Daily Advertiser.' Winter is Coming Prepare for il We must not wait for cool nights and mornings before making ready for winter. Nature herself is preparing for it all sum mer, and to bo wise we must follow her example. However difficult it may be to conceivo or admit the truth of such a thing this sultry weather, still in this latitude it may be said with almost literal truth that there is but one season in tho year, and that is the season of cold weather. We do not live within the frigid circle, or a bove the line of perpetual snow ; but we do most of the year in tho neighborhood of both. A little farther north one may see the white crystals in the field every month of tho twelve, and at the last ac counts Mount Washington could still show a few of his cold white mountain lillies of the last year's crop. Such being the case, a wise man will not neglect the lesson of wisdom and ex perience. Men do not keep tip with events but scorn continually toiling after time, and a good way behind, too. Few take him by the forelock. The farmer does not cut his grass till it is dead ripe, and hard as wire, when it ought to have been in the barn long before. He looses much of his grain in the same way. He is rarely aware that it is ripe enough to reap till it is almost fit to be ground. Along rains comes, and he suffers serious loss, which might have been avoided. Such is this very Tear's sad experience ; and it is that of many others, indeed of almost every j'ear. for which no apolosry could be, as now, set up in the scarcity of labor. This procrastinating spirit is carried into other spheres. A parent is slow in perceiving that his boy has become a man or his girl a woman. Here they may be halt right, lor many of neither sex ever become so at all, though to take their own word for it, these children are men and women at fourteen. But that is only to work and suffer and be useful. In that sense they are often infants lonjr after reachiug 21. They are, indeed, old e nough for taxes, but not for tasks. Before the almanac says in its wise col umns 'look out for frosts, it is time to have the winter's coal snug in the bin, which should be constructed so as to hold just a ton, two tons, or some certain quantity There is no harm in providing this check of the eye upon the capacity of the coal- cart. Money m this season of full cm ploymeut and diminished expense, should be laid up somewhere the Savings Bank is a good place for the purchase of ne cessary and for such other domestic pro visions as can be made in the autumn without injury by keeping; such as an ample stock of potatoes, and some other vegetables, apples, flour, etc. Lay up a reserve of money from present receipts for the scores of wants that will make themselves known fast enough from week to week, from New Year's to Candlemas day, when the farmers should, but fre quently do not, have "half their corn and half their hay." When they comply with this adage, they will, of course, be provi ded tor ; but we speak for other classes mechanics, laborers, and the like, whose income does not flow from the riches of the ground they own, but from the work or ingenuity of their hands or brains. lo all such it is of the last importance that a reserved power shall be accumula ted somewhere," while the skies are mild and propitious, and industry is wanted and rewarded, to meet the demands of ac cident, misfortune, sickness, and even the ordinary vicissitudes of the approaching seasons. Wait not to be pinched by the cold before the comfortable garment shall be procured, depend not on the chance surplus of the next month, if a saving can be made from the profits of the present. It is said, " man is endowed with rea son, looking before and after." Yet he is not apt to remember a very recent ex perience, and is extremely prone to shut his eyes to the necessities of the future. A great many have long since forgotten tho horrors of the last winter, and as ma ny do not aud will not trouble themselves with the prospect of the next. This must be avoided. Such indifference to the past, Tit a . anu recklessness ot the luture, arc sheer madness. We must treasure up the ?e vere lessons of tho one, and be stimulated by them to a provident study of the re quirements of tho other, A Jersey Woman Advertising her Hus band.

The Port McHenry case, in which tho death of a soldier named Loup was al leged to have been caused by cruel pun ishment, has been investigated by a mili tary Court of Inquiry, and the fact3 elic ited are published in the Baltimore Pa triot. Prom them we learn that Loup was drunk and disorderly, and getting into a quarrol with the Sergeant, drew a sabre upon him. He was then confined in the guard house, but made so much noise that Lieut. Griffin ordered him to be tied up and gagged. This was done by his being tied up to the flag staff by the wrists and legs, and his mouth gag ged. He succeeded in getting the gag out twice, and make a noiso again whereupon the Sergeant made the third and fatal gag, which is thus described : "The sergeant made a third gag, by doubling a piece of the flag halyards and wrapping a part of his blanket around, the middle of this doubled rope. Tha blanket part was about six inches longr aud from one and a quarter to two in ches in diameter, and was secured to tho rope by a small cord wound spirally round and tied to each end of tho blanket. "Tho sergeant then placed his gag in Loup's mouth; tied the ends of the rope behind his head, and called the sentinel at the guard house. "The sergeant then directed the senti nel to return his sabre, take hold of the ends of the rope-gag and hold on, and. prevent Loup from getting it out of bis mouth. If the gag came out the sentinel was directed to replace it. This gag stopped up Loup's mouth completely, and the only noise he made after it was put in, was a suppressed sound, which could be heard only a short distance from the flag-staff." Loup struggled desperately for about half an hour to get out this gag, but was prevented by the sentinel pulling strongly; and keeping his head back. After that his body relaxed his knees sunk, and he hung by the wrists, dead, as was ascer-. tained some hours afterward. Surgeon McDougall, of the Army, examined tho body superficially, and was of opinion that Loup had dfed of congestion of the brain. Such, also, was the opinion of the Coro ner, Dr. Benson, and the physician call ed in by him, Dr. AVcbster. The Court exonerated Lieutenant Grif fin from blame, his order being accord ing to regulations, but not inteuded to mean that the prisoner should be tied up to the flag staff or gaged in an unusual way. Is tiicrc no Hfeed of a Hull. The facts of a most unequalled pieco of villainy by a State Official at Albany, N. Y., have just became known. A man named Johnson perpetrates a forgery, and is sentenced to the State Prison. Tho prisoner has a beautiful wife, to whom tho Governor's Secretary makes dishonorable proposals, in return for which he promises to procure a pardon from the Governor. The poor woman, it seems, sacrificed her honor, and the price promised for it, was paid, Johnson was pardoned out. The man, however. ascertaining how his wife had been ruined, grew desperate, committed another crime and was sent to the State Prison. The woman meanwhile is cast off by both husband and paramour, and comes before the Courts, broken hearted, to claim support from the Gov- crnor s Secretary, for offspring of the criminal intercourse. The transaction from its conclusion, stands almost unpa relleled in the anuals of viilainv in hih places. Morals in official circles at Al bany are indeed at lowest water mark. ,Q, Contracts for several hundred barrels of flour are said to have been madn nf, Cincinnati for 85 25 a barrel.
