LOCAL JOTTINGS. The regular session of the Police ury will take place at the CourtHouse Monday. A list of unclaimed letters remaining in the Post-Office February 1st, is published in this issue. Owing in part to the lateness of the announcement and in part to the absence of the President, there was no session of the Parish School Board on Monday last. The sunset of last evening was a beautiful and refreshing sight, considering that the bright face of Old Sol" has been hidden from us for more than a week.

A notice from the Town Assessor, addressed to the tax payers of the corporation, appears in another column. It is in relation to the assessmnent roll for 1872. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good," as Conductor Bayley remarked when the steamer Lizzie Hopkins became stuck fast in the mud at the railroad pier Monday, and all her passengers embarked upon the cars. If the arrival of a keacher engaged is not delayed, the school held in the building known as the Johnson Institute a short time since will be reopened next Monday. This will be good news to those of our citizens who -dislike to have their children running idle in the streets.

Mr. Reverdy Johnson, the efficient and polite mail agent on the railroad, has our thanks for a New Orleans paper. Though we had received a copy of the same issue of the same paper a day or two previously by mail, still we fully appreciated the well-meant kindness of Mr. Johnson. We have heard several opinions expressed in regard to the probable effect of the recent cold weather upon the stubble cane, but are yet unaware whether the snow and ice really damaged the cane or not.

When we receive positive and reliable information upon the subject, we shall lay it before our readers. Dr. Backenstose Cosmopolitan Circus exhibited here again last evening. but owing to no announcement of their coming having been made, and the unpropitious state of the weather, the performance was but sparely attended. The boat bearing the circus company and paraphernalia tried to go down Bayou Lafourche today but stuck fast a short distance from the mouth.

Some one has told us that the Cornet band will go to dew Orleans to participate in the Mardi "ras festivities and regale the denizens of the Crescent City with some genuine Donaldsonville music. As the Grand Duke Alexis will probiubly be a listener, it is to be hoped their performpances will be such as to carry the fame of this little burgh of ours far away to the snowy Russias. A citizen is going the rounds with the petition which was addressed to the Council some time ago asking that the plank walk on Cabahanoossestreet be extended to the front street, and is collecting the various amounts subseribed by residents of tows to aid in the project. The work will be commenced at once, and its completion will be hailed with satisfaction by all who find it necessary to walk to and from the railroad depot when the streets are The ste mer Lizzie Hopkins made a trip do vn the bayou in the early part of tl week, but in returning became st 1led at the pier built in the middle of lie bayou for the railroad bridge, at I was about twenty hours getting st it. In consequence of this mnishi the Hopkins will not attempt a cond trip until a further rise of wy er.

The little Tahlequah is still the inly steamboat that navigates the regularly. The weather of the present week has been as unpleasant as the most conu med hypochondriac could desire to in accordance with his feelings. The temperature, up to yesterday. was exceedingly cold, and rain and contributed to make a wet, cold, gloomy week. Yesterday, however, change for the better took place, and hough the morning opened rather un romisingly, the sun took several pe ps at us during the day, and bright ned things up considerably.

The emperature is now quite pleasant, ut disagreeable evidence of the cold and rainy season remain in the mun ly roads and sidewalks. From umstautial evidence we are induce to believe that Judge Mason has re Ily tendered his resignation of the offi of Mayor of Donaldsonville, but no note of the circumstance appeared in any of the New Orleans re, we infer official acceptance has not yet transpired. If the Gover or should refuse to accept the resign ion wonder if our doesn'twant-to-b Mayor would regard it as evidence IIat he (the Governor) is going to ti the State Government over to th Democrats I The Judge thought so once, and the opinion was based upon a less important circumstance thi the refusal to accept his resignatio would be. We hay been requested to publish the follou list, and to state in connection tb rewith that the extension of the si walk is to be accomplished entirely ii lependent of any aid from the town tahorities We, the adersigned citizens of Donaldsonville, hereby donate the amount set opposite or -espeetive names for the express purpose of ntoinuig the plaak banquette towards th river on the west side of Calmhanosse sOt et, said money to be expended to the grea advantage by a committee of one-Mt. 1J JGreen-who is appointed to receive don tions for the purpose Antoine Ga(ifort 2 50 Knight 500 Green 500 A Genazzini 500 Wilkinson 500 Mason 500 Hiss 2.50 Camarinsa 100 Charles olet 50 Casamir Martin 5 00 Lethvre 3 00 Simien Phillippi 1 00 August a 100 Hays 200 EA Ramih 100 NM Conway 100 Charles it' 500 John Missenty 300 Julins 100 Andrew Gingry 100 Ambr'se 200 Ant.

A youthful American of African descent, Who manages to batter his way through the trials and vicissitudes of life under the unripe cognomen of George was arrested and brought before Justice Travis a few days since, charged by Mr. Eugene Toussaint with assault and battery upon his little son George, a chip of the Toussaint block. The assaulter and barterer was found guilty of the misdemeanor against the peace and dignity of the State and the personal comfort of the chip aforesaid, in consequence of which finding of the Justice he was required to furnish bond in the sum of fifteen dollars to keep, the peace for the entire space of two calendar months, under penalty of the severe displqasure of Judge Travis, in official pacity.

Two lligerent sons of Erin were one day nlt week persuaded by Constable ph Wier to appear before Justice obert Turner, of the sixth ward, to answer the charge of assault and battery upon some good and peaceful citizen of the State whose name is a profound mystery to us. Either from the shame of conscious guilt, or the lofty pride of conscious innocence treating such a debasing charge with scornful silence, or, perchance, from overdoses of that fiery liquid yclept by the vulgar benzine," wltich impeded their power of speech, tl answer of the two Hibernian malefactor- was not possessed of evidence enoug establish their innocence, wheret re they were required to pay over diminutive fortune of seven dollars for the benefit of Judge Turner, Constable Weir and the commonwealth of Louisiana.

Collector. Donaldsonville. January 13, 1872. 3t, THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, For 1572. The consolidation of Italy, so long fragmentary and impotent, into one powerful State, with Rome as its capital; the humiliating of France through a series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and capitulation of her proud and gay metropolis; the expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the substitution for them of a scion of the most liberal among royal houses; the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Saxony, Wurtemburg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, under the headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and powerful empire of Germany; and the arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed but never relinquished designs on the great city founded by Constantine and the vast but decaying and anarchial dominion of the Sultan, all combine to invest with profound interest the everchanging phases of our tidings from the Old World.

The Tribune, through trusted correspondents stationed at all points in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, aims to present a complete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesiasticism on the one hand and NineteenthCentury skepticism and secularism on the other. Recognizing a Divine Providence in all that proceeds and Is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier future for the toiling masses of mankind. In our oa country, a war upon corruption and rascality in office has been inaugurated in our City, whereby the government of our State has been revolutionized through an in-. itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It is morally cetain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to any locality or any party, but that its purlfying influence is destined to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking venality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by trade, and confiding it in those worthiest and fittest to wield it.

To this beneficent and vitally needed Reform, The Tribune will devote its best energies, regardless of personal interests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office as of ali New Departures the most essential and auspicious. The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to Equal Rights regardless of Color has divested our current politics of half their bygone intensity. However I parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles which have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be tegarded as practically accepted by the whole country. The right of every man to his oven limbs and sin- I ews-the equality of all citizens before the 7 law-the inability of a Statjto enslave any a portion of its people-the dipty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy- 8 meat of his liberty until he forfeits it by crime-such are the broad founds- tions of our National edifice; and palsied be the hand that shall seek to displace them I Though not yet twenty years old, the R.ynblican party has completed the noble fabric of Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there- i on the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of God. Henceforth the mission of our Republic is 1 one of Peaceful Progress.

To protect the weak and the humble from violence and op- i pression-to extend the boundaries and diffuse the blessings of Civilization-to atimnlate Ingenuity to the production of new inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production-to draw nearer to each other the producers of Food and Fabrics, of Grains and of Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the cost of transportption and exchanges between farmers and artisans-such is the inspiring task to which the Nation now addresses itself, andby which it would fain contribute to the progress, enlightenment and happiness of our race. To this great and good Triba ne contributes its zealous, persistent efforts. 1 Agriculture will continue to be more es- pecially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi- I Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will contribute. No farmer who sells $300 worth of produce per annum can afford to do without our Market Reports, or others equally lucid and comprehensive. If he should reau nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, we believe that no farmer who can read at all can afford to do without such a journal as The Tribune.

And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other departments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns each year, as our countrymen's generous patronage enables us to do; and we are resolved that our issues of former years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and interest by those of 1872.
