omitted to state, in my communication yester
day, that a new and spacious building has beer
erected for the University of Louisiana-sn insti-
tuition literally endowed by the State, and fostered
by the muni6cence of individual citizens. Its aca-
demic and medical departments have gone into
operation under the most favorable auspices, and
are amply provided with educational appliances
and thorough instruction.
The public schools Of the city are free, and ex-
cellent in character, being under the MANAGEMENT
of board OF education, composed of the firsr men
in the community, who discharge the duties Of
their Office with intelligence and fidelity. The
buildings occupied for school purposes are gene
rally commodious, and in good condition.
The Lind mania is not above fever heat in this
city, yet there is doubt of liberal patronage to

large numbers who may desire TO attend her con-
cer,s but nothing has been done, thus far, in pro-
paration for Jenny's benefit. Barnum will be
obliged to set the wires in motion, if he wishes to
get up fmyoye but he need do nothing 10 create
just appreciation OF the powers possessed by the
sweet sOngster The musical taste of New Or
leans is critical and refined and above the usual
appliances of hnmbugQery.
/ Few cities can boast Of more beautiful and ac-
compshed ladies than the metropolis of the South
They dress elegantly, and possess gracefulness OF
manner, and vvacily In conversation, that never
fail To win admiration In point of gaiety the ere
oles take the lead, being regarded bellies at the
soiTees and coiillon parties They certainly h,ve-
more expressive and beautiful eyes than the ladies

The police system of New Orleans is simple and
effective, and entirely free from all kinds of stool
pigeon adjuncs. This class OF public funciionaries
have no organ TO sustain, and hence not under
the necessity OF planning out crimes in order to dis
play sagacty and promptness In fsrretuog them out,
and publishing The same as great deeds that should
| immortaze their name.
The chivalrous and manly bearing of the gentle
men in enforcing the "unwntten law OF nature"
is a certain Protection 10 the ladies, who may be
seen at seasOna ble hours Of the evening promcna-
ding the streets without male protector. Hus-
bands and parents feel no solicitude in allowing
their wives and daughters To take an evening walk
in any part of the city, for they know that the least
iDdignity offered them would certainly bring out
dozen pistols TO chastise the one who should dare
offer the insult In this respect, Southern chival-
| ry Is sure to accomplish more than enacments
I and ministers of law can do at the North.
j took occasion 10 visit the Supreme Court, now
in session. and was surprised at finding very
youbfuI-IookIng man upon the bench. On inquiry,
/ was informed that Judge Sdell, though a very
young man, maintained a high position throughout
the Slate, being regarded as one of the abest and
most industrious men selected 10 administer equity
and law. The law practice Of Louisiana is simple,
though well remunerated. Suits are commenced
by petition, in which the points at issue clearly
| set forth, as in The case of a summons under the
new code in New York.
The great subject upon the tapis in tins city
| is the Soule controversy. Notwithstanding his
| few friends have been very active in procuring
names TO letter, approving his dsunioa doctrines,
public sentiment is strongly in favor of preserving
the Union at the cost of anything that may be
deem ed necessary Full seven-eIghths of the cti-
zens of Louisiana are sworn friends 10 the Union,
and would spill their blood TO preserve 1t. The
morofe Of the great meeting in New York has
quckened and strengthened this feeling, so that il
Is visible In every gathering OF men throughout the
The democrats are deeply mortified that Mr..
Soule should have taken occasion uatimely
TO proclaim sentiments, viii IN are condemned by
nearly every intelligent man in the community.
His warm personal friends are thus placed In a
! troublesome dilemma, a. Is evident from their
efforts to assign for his course Ii 10

wear the mantle of Calhoun, in order TO become a
champion tor the South--that he IN such great
haste 10 aroeate that pontion rs TO be induced to
avail himself Of the first collection of men, what
ever The occasion might be, 10 declare his senti-
ments hence, instead of thanking his friends for
| the compliment of serenade, he insuted them
| by calling them dupes and fools.
| There rs deep feeling on the subject, and in
all probability Mr.. Soule will be requested 10
sign his seat in the United States Senate, repre-
| sent the inown aud cherished sentiments of the
] State. The Legislature will not allow hs course

! early opportunity to administer most singing

that his recommendations are sure 10 meet with

II New York will take the same stand in re-

which pervades every portion Of the Union, will
soon give place TO that high and holy patriotism
which compromised all difference OF sentiment with
