I To the People or Louisiana: Whereas, it has reported to the commanding geueral of this military district that evil disposed persons in various parts of the 8tate of Louisiana are preparing to cause disturbances and riots at the polls during the coming election, to be hold on the seventeenth an eighteeuth iustant: and as the right to vote peaceably is an inheritance belongiug to the people, not to be interfered with; therefore all persons, of whatsoever condition, are hereby cautioned and directed to keep the peace on that occasion, and to avoid and discountenance all acts which may tend to prevent a full and accurate expression of the will of the people in the matters then to be decided by their votes.

The laws must and shall be enforced. All men entitled to vote must be allowed to exercisa this privilege, and will be protected in so doing. The necessity for military interference for the purpose of keeping order should not arise, but if it becomes necessary, all are notified that proper measures have been taken for the protection of each in the exercise of his legal rights. Under existing orders the sheritfs ot the several parishes are charged with the preservation or good order at the polls, and they are notified that this duty must be faithfully performed by them, on penalty of such punishment as the laws of the country have provided. They are armed with Hmple authority for the'purpose, and it is expected that they will exercise it fully, but Kindly, and thus secure a quiet election.

Buchanan GEORGE HART8CFF, Assistant Adjutant General. FttOM TIIIBUDXl' A'. Kcpubllca Uuk Alcetlna Lafaurthe Democratic Address. TifiBODAtrx, April 13, 1868. Editor Republican: I had intended to give you a detailed account of our grand mass meetings on last Saturday and how tho vast rublage at this place was entertained by Judgo Hiestand tor two hours and a half, and how in that length of time he insinuated himself into the hearts of thousands, and gave a stroke to the conservative element from which it lias not yet recovered aud never will; and how other speakers followed iu a strain of pure Republican sentiments, and how the people marched through the streets of the town to martial music and sent up cheer after cheer for the constitution and the Republican ticket; and how the people of 3t.

Alary turned out to hear Republican principles explained by such men as the Rev. Henry Grimes, Mr. Thomas McWilliams, aud but I have not had sufficient time to do the subject full justice. Suffice it to say thut both mass meetings iu Lafourche on Saturday were grand, I may say maguificeul, and I think that every true Repubiicau iu this parish is fully up to the times. I seud you one of our Democratic tickets to let you see how our worthy president of the convention allows his name to be used, aud als how our worthy aspirant for lieuteuant governor is kicked mean our friend Dumas.

Jt must be particularly flattaring to uuge Taliaferro to iiave ms name on au exclusive ticket with candidates who jiave been registered by tho last board especially for the occasion. 1 adibire the sound judgment of the Duocracy of Lafourche in choosing men for office who were registered by the "board of registration appointed by General Sheridan, but I must say that their desire to hold office is too great lor their future happiuess aud comfort. 1 append a circular issued by the Central Democratic committee of Lafourche. It was written iu French for tho benefit of the poor wnite people, and as many ot them cau upt read it was carried from house to house individual commissioned for that purpose. This is tho way tho poor white men are cheated, led around by the nose, deceived iu regard to their best interests! thus it wiiicoutiuue to be until the con btitutiou shall bo ratified, and a loyai and republican form of government established.

The following a literal translation of tho document, aud shows to what low measures aud expedients the Democracy will resort to gam their desired end. CONFIDENTIAL. Sir: By order of the Central Democratic committee of Lafourche, I come to pray you to exercise yeur influence upou your neighbors who have not been registered, to make them understand the necessity of obtaining certificates of registration to the effect that they might bo enabled to vote at the election of the 17th and 18th of April. A registration (complete) followed by a complete vote, and of white men, will provent, we are convinced thereon, the ratification of tho infamous constitution lately adopted by that (mougrel) convention at New Or eans. If you do uot wish to have the negro Bluing side by side with you on the steamboats, iu the railroads, in tho hotels, and your equal in all the public places (pf entertainment); if you do not will tnat the negro children aud yours go to the same school, aud also thut the public offices oe not filled up by negroes, who having nothing will overcharge you with taxes too to be tf to 2ne, jr.m dtsiro to all those mUfortnues, (1U neighbor, from their apathy and bring Itai-w to the polls.

The ralldratlou of that constitution, do notdonbtof it, shall be the cause of our degradation, and of our mrierics if the while man can not sacrifice a day or two to the great cause. The office ot Wills.t the conrthou.e the W. 4th, Otb, 7th, anil. 8th of April. No time is to bo lost, and in the name of all who are dear to you aud sacred, and ill the name of yonr wl.es and children, 1 command (Somme) yon to cooperate, and to word for the great oause and to be snro that those of your neighbor who are not rvglrtered to do so before it is mo late.

Do not ask why the regUtrare do nut transport themselves in Ji tt, die iricta, but come and do your duty let those who have heeu refitted bv the hoard rne now and have them registered; do uot forget to bring Ouowho have lately attained tweuty-on! years. I do not wish to press upon you without some good reasons. Bear in mind that we are lost if we do not repulse that infamous constitution. We can save ourselves, why would we not do but think that thiscan'not be done by remaining quiet at home. Let us together give a strong shake every where in the state.

Our frie are at work. Victory is ours if we do state. Our friends duty; shame and ruin are overhanging our heads if we fail In this supreme hour. If you visit Thibodaux, the members of the Central Committee shall be happy to see you and hear your advice if you have any to give for the advantage of the cause. If you know (are acquaint groes under twenty-one years of age who have been registered, point them out to us.

We will try to have their registration annulled. Respectfully, President of the Central Democratic Committee of Lafourche. The name was attached, and I can furnish it if necessary. CORRESPONDENT. SPKECII OF A.

CJBAKi, At Lafayette Square, Tuesday Evening. April 14. Mr. President and Fellow Citizens, irrespective of caste, color, or previous condition: The Radical Republican party have this night assembled to consult public opinion, and to weigh the same in tlio scales oi justice, civil rights, franchise, and evulasting liberty to all people, of whatever nationality they may be. Public opiuion has spoken in language as plainly as the present vivid peals of heaven's artillery that we here at this present, moment do not belong to a few Individuals, but we belong to a nation of Americans.

Public opiuion dressed the black man in the sacred habiliments of ail American soldier to perpetuate the unity of the states, and assist his white brethren in keeping in the Union the fratricidal and rebellious Southern states. Public opinion, throngh its great organ, the congress of the United States, has promulgated and decreed that the serf, if loyal, shall be royal; that the slave who fought for the liberties of this ceuntry shall enjoy all the rights, civil, religious, political, and all privileges appertaining to citizen of the United States. I would respectfully say to the lar number of my fellow citizens on my of Caucasian status, if you do not belong to the progressive Warrnoth and Dunn party, I would beg you to ioin it; particularly you working men, and if there are, and 1 think there are, quite a delegation of my Irish cousins, I would speak a word with you. The Irish people come from brave and hardy nation. They owi an island which is nine hundred miles in circumference.

Let us get through our troubles and brave hearts and hands of black APPEAL TO WORKING MEN. Tho opportunity we have befnr nw now is just what we have rid ourselves of the old political hacks who have stood so lor. 2 between nstice and the work ins classes of the South. Working men should remember that when this state secetlcd it was Ith a majority of iu favor of co-operation and war. Since the'federals have come to New Orleans tho very men who tvere the bitterest secessionists hsve been taking all the oaths required, blinding l' poorer classes as much as possible; but putting themselves into office where good salaries and perquisites were to be had; recommending for public positions oulv such men as themselves, ami denouncing till such as they knew in reality to be Union men.

ir chances to be united ou good terms as brethren of tho Northern people have heretofore been hopeless, knowing, us we did, that these people had pledged themselves to starve out every Union in in the Southern country. In order to ubtaiu a living we were compelled to pronounce ourselves loyai to the confederacy, just us they are proclaiming themselves loyal Union men now. They should remember that it was only compulsion with us then as it is with them now. No secessionist favors the Union now anymore than he did during the war. No Union man favors this rebel aristocracy now any more than he did when tho state seceded with its minority.

Therefore tho rebels should not count every white vote that i registered as a rebel Democratic vote. People cau not sacrifice their principles any longer to Batisfy them. The proof that Democrats of the North can not place their rebel Democratic frieuds in power now iu the South is perfectly plain. And yet the Southern aristocrats ask the colored men to vote down the constitution with the same impudence they have always asked the poor man to vote for the Southern aristocratic lurm of government. Working men of New Orleans! Knowing vour rights, maintain them by voting the Republican ticket.

Yesterday the Republicans of St. I.andry parish were Invited to attend a Taliaferro meeting. Out of curiosity, the people being anxious to see the big guns" of that faction, a large number of our citizens attended. Messrs. Judd, Dumas, nnd Frisble made very commonplace speeches, which were listened to with no indications of enthusiasm, aud their fell with a leaden sound.

At the close of Mr. Frisbie's remarks Mr. Francois IV Avy rose, and proposed three cheers for Henry C. Warrnoth. The people responded most heartily, much to the discomfiture of the Messrs.

Villere, and Jackson followed iu oloqueut aud impressive speeches, which were warmly applauded. It was evident that the bolters could receive but small cncouragemeut in this section.

The telegraph communicates further particulars oi the last fearful railroad accident: The train on the Erie road which left Buffalo at 2:02 P. M. in charge of Conductor Judd and Charles Douglas, superintendent of the division, consisting of an engine, tender, three sleeping, two first class, one second-class, and two baggage cars, proceeding on time, and the usual stoppages until, in tho evening, when the passengers in the sleeping cars retired. About two this moruiug Mr. Arnes and Mr.

Horton, of the geueral postoffice, in charge of the pottal car, saw the bell ropstraighten out and break, when Mr. Juud immediately remarked to one of the thut he had lost his rear cars. They ran to the platform in the rear ot the car, when the lour rear cars were seen plungiug down a precipice seventy-live or a hundred feet f'ho accident occurred thirteen miles beyond Port Jarvis, on the Delaware division of the road. The sides of the precipice were formed of jagged rocks, aud in the descent the cars brokeu to pieces. At the bottom is a culvert, through which flows a stream emptying into the Delaware.

The impression prevails that the disaster was caused by a broken rail which threw the rear car from the track; this displaced tho third car immediately in irwnt. Conductor Judd aud Superintendent Douglas slightly injured. ingoing ovei the embankment turned aver several times, and were completely demolished. The sleeping cor war entirely consumed. The pusseugeis of the car left standing ou the track went immediately to the rescue of the wounded aud removal of the bodies of the dead.

Many bodies could not be recognized. Seven persons were burned to dealn, aud others were killed by coming into contact with jogged rocks. The wounded were placed on the train and brought to Port via.

An Ex-Confederate Lieutenant Tullnferro- lie Aunwcred by and a Poor about War noth. Bi ras Settlement, April 12, 18G8. At a Taliaferro rebel-Democratic meeting held here, one of the speakers, Mr. Lewis, asserted that Judge Taliaferro was in every way the superior of Henry C. Warrnoth or any carpet-bagger.

To such straits was this speaker driven by the desperation of his cause that he asserted the falsehood that only last week. "Judgo Warrnoth prosecuted a colored man because he was riding in a street car Before he closed, Mr. Lewis proposed that if any supporter of Judge Warrnoth wished to address the audience he had the opportunity to do so, whereupon Mr. Harry Mahoney replied that he and all his friends had pledged their lives and their honor to support the regularly nominated Republican ticket, bearing the name of Hon. H.

O. Warrnoth at its head, aud he and they should do so. Mr. Wisbler was then introduced, who said the present political contest is one of the most important ever known. The world is progressing in liumau government.

We shall uot relapse buck into that state of barbarism where one man can own another. We must establish the doctrine that all men are eoual before the law, and possess inalienable rights securing to them life, lib erty, aud the pursuit ot happiness. Judge Wurinotii is the only regularly nominated Repubiicau candidate for governor, and the ticket bearing his name received the votes of all but three or four delegates in the state nominating convention. The New Orleans Tribune has been denounced by the members of the constitutional convention of the state of Louisiana, and is not official organ of the Republican party. Should the Taliaferro ticket bo every poor white man and colored man will be reduced to limited slavery a condition quite as degrading as absolute slavery, closed by impressing upon his hearers that now was the time to strike the death knell of Louisiana Democracy by voting for Warmoth and the regular Repubiicau ticket.

Mr. Lewis then rejoiued, aud stated what occurred when he (Lewis) was iu the employ of the confederate government as a lieutenant of engineers. He could uot understand why Republicans should consider themselves bound to support tho State ticket with Warrnoth at its head any more than to support Taliaferro. Mr. Wissler replied that the reason he and other Republicans had pledged themselves to support that ticket was merely to prevent tricksters, bolters, democrats, or rebels of any kind from obtaining any influence over the Republican voters iu Buras settlement.

They had sworn not to accept any ticket with the Liucoln head from any hands but from the candidates themselves iu the political organization supporting Judge Warrnoth. PLAQUEMINES. BY TELEGRAPH. FROM WAWIUNGTON The Progress of Impeachment. LATEST NEWS ECROPE.
