Editor Sentinel: Believing that an item or
two of city news will interest your numerous
readers, and in accordance with my promise, |
herewith, without further ceremony, introduce
myself. The only particular excitement just
now is among politicians-and here wonld re-
mark that if the cry for "Declouet and Kenner,,'
is as frequent in the country as it is here, and
you are animated with the same energy and
activity, tile Wings will be rewarded with a
glorious victory on the 9Th of next month see
that every Wing does his duty in IberyiIle-
that Parish stands high in the city, and we look
for her two hundred majority. for the entire
Wing ticket! That wei! conducted journal,
the DeIta-unquestionably one of the best pa
pers in the city, and the most enterprising-has
lately introduced a new feature in journalism

ton to the efficient regular writers, it has sew

ter a young lawyer Of rare poetic and bellies
lettres accomplishments. The Live Oak, pub
lished in Lafayette, heretofore whig, has chang
ed hands and hoisted the democratic banner,
["God b'ess her lei her go!] l am sure that you
participate with me in the regret that the 'little
world of poetry" experiences in the announce
ment of the death of Edgar A. Poe, the dis
tinguished critic and poet; it brings to mind
his own lines
"--The feuer; called lifting,
Is over at last"
The delegates to the Memphis Convention de-
parted from the city q few days since; the ar
raw of names is a sufficient guarantee that our
interests will receive warm support in the con-
clave. The news from Nicaragua, received
day before yesterday, is very important, especi-
ally that relating to the contemplated canal;
the affairs of the company were progressing
favorably; a special session Of the Legislature
had been called to settle the commercial rela-
tons between the United States and them
selves. Business here is rather slow for the
season; it was expected that by this time every
thing would be in full blast relating to COM
mercial operations. For amusemcnts we have
the Montplaisers and Bedouin Arabs at the Or
leans Theatre, which opened a few evenings
since, for the season; Lloyd's troup Of Sable
Harmonists commence a series of concerts at
the Commercial Exchange Room; they are
said to be very finished performers in their par.
ticular line. The weather here for the last
week has been of the dark, drear, dismal, damp
wet, misty, murky order, and at the present
moment, evinces no disposition to change. A
for health, we are about as free from disease as
the heights Of the Sierra Nevada.
