Wednesdays mail came through yesterday. Yes
terday's mail failed beyond Charleston
An Saints Day-The weather yesterday was
most delightful, except it a little too warm
The Catholic grave-yards were thronged through
the day In the evening the crowd was ncom-
fortably dense. Many of the tombs were tastetuly
decorated here and there, however, one could be
seen which no kind hand had adorned. 'others are
dilapidated, and the Wondering remains lie exposed
There is no security in the graves OF NewOrleans.
Instead Of being sunk in the earth, they are mere
structures of brick or MARBLE granite, subject TO
be demolished either by time, accident or caprice.
Some of the tombs are very costly and beautiful
specimens of art. The monument of Xavier Mar
tin, for thirty-one years Judge of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana, is sienite obelisk of some
twenty feet in height, resting on broad pedestal
of the same enduring material. Jean Paul wrote
that " the grave is the cradle of Heaven"
The New York Express aludes to the decrease
of the population of New Orleans within the last
ten years. This is mistake. The census of the
Second Municipality, taken in midsummer, is over
10000. At any thing like the same ratio in other
sections the population will greatly surpass that of
1S40 Lafayette, too, and the suburbs, ought to
be taken into the account.
The new and extensive range of buildings on
Carondelet street are now completed, and many
already tenanted. Wright, Williams ~ Co. have
moved to No. 10. No street in town has changed
so much for the better, during the past year. than

formerly crowded into the front streets, is now
gradually spreading into THE streets in the rear.
Carondelet is the fourth street from the levee, and
the fifth from the river.
Mr. Soule's Baton Rouge Speech.-According to
promise, we give the report of the Advocate. II
will be seen by both ofthe reports, that he still de-
nouncss the corrupt press, and talks of the igno-
rance of the people. We learn he threatens take
the stump. We don't believe he dares to do any
such thing
The Columbia State Rights Banner publishes
the Crescent's report of his Rampant Street Speech,
and compliments it very highly. This is all to be
expected and very just The truth is, Mr.. SOule's
disunion notions just suit that latitude, and he
ought to be considered as the third Senator Of
South Carolina.
The Kosciusco Chronicle, after speaking OF the
Crescent in such terms as to call forth reminls
oence of blush, says our editorials sometimes
have a wing tendency, and then literally makes
allowance for the partalities of even indePen-
dent paper. Why, my dear fellow, you were never
more mistaken We are for all the great demo-
cratic measures: first for the Union second, for
the gift of free homestead to every willing
TO cultivate the soil third for the improvement OF
rivers and harbors fourth, against protective
tariff since the Pennsylvania election fifth, for an
elective judiciary sixth, for practical school sys
tenn, which shall actually furnish education to all ;
seventh, against all Banks in general, and the I'm
provement Bank of NewOrleans and the Natchez
Railroad Bank in particular eighth, against the
credit system, so far newspapers are concerned
Now, if this is not a fair cargo of democratic no
tons, we shall be happy to find room for few
more.
The Georgia Sovtlern Rights Sentiment
We most heartily respond to the principle en-
bodied in this resolution recently adopted at the
Savannah meeting
Resoleed. That any candidate who refuses hear the

Price Currents are sometimes awkward truth
tellers. South Carolina orators and editors ma,
insist on it that the South is ruined. But the bes
commentary is the following:

We shall be glad to stay ruined on these terms
