the hateful E" Mis.orri question" is likely
to be revived, in consequence Of the allusion

recommend that ii be suffered to sleep. It
appears to US, that the fact Disclosed from
Charleston, could not we'll have been sup.
pressed, though the name might and perhaps
should have been, and that the disclosure OF
the TACT ought not TO be offensive Ne one
ever supposed, nor bav. th1 public suthoria
ties or prints ct Charleston most remotely
suggested, that the speeche. in COM ress
were intended TO produce such 90 effect.
We cannot therefore zee any cause for irri-

hands powerful reasons for avcidiuy further
controversy on the zubiec ,-INat Int.
We understand that the Court of Inquiry.
now in session al Boston, has been instructed
to investigate the state of the frigate Mace

"ShortIy after the first meeting of

" Great Dividend "A few DAYS ago,
the President and Directors of the
State Bank Of Louisiana, declared g.
dividend Of eight per cent. on the CAPT.
tai stock, for the last six months. In

evidence Of the ability and integrity
With which the affairs of The bank are
eondueted.''
A great dividend indeed 1t must
