The Graves of New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, April %, 1851.
dnessrS. Editors-ln my last communication |
spoke OF the climate of New Orleans as decidedly
injurious to many invads, particularly to those
who are seriously affected with bronchial or null
monary disease, and tending in such cases to
hasten fatal termination, instead of promoting
recovery. So many have come here in quest OF
health, but in reality only to find grave or rather
toHio' among strangers, and have often, in
the discharge OF ministerial duty, witnessed the
connection between their coming and their burial.
that the transition from the climate of this city to
It's cemeteries is very natural one for nv letters
There are several cemeteries in the city and its
suburbs. The oldest and the one most frequently
visited, and most interesting to strangers is the
homan Catholic, situated in the French quarter of
the town. 1t formerly occupied one square, but
that years ago became filled up and three or four
squares more were appropriated, in what is now
populous part of the city although probably at
that time upon It's outskirts. Each square is en-
closed with high brick wall, which forms the
outer wall OF the long ranges of tombs. Tor oven.

surround each enclosure. These tombs are bu;It
OF brick, one range or row above another in regu

tomb being about two feet square, so az to admit
single coffin with ease, and the depth or length
backward about six feet When burial takes
place, the coffin is slipped in, its foot towards the
outer wall the front is then closed with brick and
mortar, and a marble slab is afterwards inserted
upon its lace oy those who desire to mark the

In all the cemeteries very many are thus en-
tombed, whose names recorded only in the list

IMPORTANT EPISCOPAL DEcIsIoN.-The Prot
estant Episcopal Convention assembled at Phila-
dephia on the morning of Thursday, 22d ult., at
10 o'clock, and was engaged the greater portion Of
the session in the debate upon the motion of Judge
Conyngham, of Luzerne county. to instruct the
Secretary to enter upon the minutes the names Of
the clergy and vestrymen from the Church of the
Crucfxion. This church, which is located in the
vicinity of Eighth and Bedford streets, has con.
gregation of colored persons, but has sent to the
Convention its pastor, Rev. Mr. Shannon, (white)
and Messrs. Charles E. Lex and Alfred Potter as
delegates. When the roll was called, the above
names were omitted by the Secretary, and this
omission gave rise to the motion made by Judge
Conyngham. The chief objection urged to the ad.
mission of the clergy and vestrymen of the Church
OF tho Crucifixion was, that Notwithstanding the
representatives were white citizens, the congrega.
ton sending them were colored and that if they
were admitted, it would open the way for the other
colcred church in the city (which has heretofore
agreed to stay QUIT to make application for seats
to this or some future meeting of the Convention.
Ihe motion gave rise to a long and animated de-.
bate, and the question being finally taken, it was
decided IN the negative that the names of the del
egates should not be received as proposed.

LOVE TOO LATE.

This beautiful poem is copied from the NewYork
Home Journal. 1t is, as the editors have set forth
IN short preface, "phase Of love not often sung"
" Some die to be forgotten, and some to be more
fondy cherished in memory than in life."

TO THE EDITOR or THE HERALD.
Your Washington CORE spondeLt, in an article
published in the Herald of to-day. under the cap
toH =" The officers Of the Texan Navy" dlsposes
OF this question very summarily, il not satisfac-
torily. take the liberty of enclosing pamphlet
laid the table Of Congress at its last session. to
which would refer your correspondent, Il Is en-
titled In reference TO the claims OF the officers of
the late Texan Navy" and contains the memorial
Of Commanders Buchanan, Dupont, and Magruder,
Of our navy, and the reply OF Commodore Moore
TO the same, and the rejoinder OF the the three
commanders thereto. From the fair view this
pamphlet gives Of both sides Of this case and from
the copies OF official documents therein, your cor
respondent will gather these amongst other facts -
First, That the Texan navy, so far as its officers
and men were concerned, had been dIsbanded on
The 10th of January, 1888, and the vessels placed
IN the hands OF the commissioners to be sold
Secondly, That Commodore Moore disobeyed
the repeated orders he received to surrender his
vessels and report to the Secretary procla-
nation Of President Houston. and letter Of Secre-
tary (of Marine) Hill, pages ., 10 and III.
Thirdly, That for such dsobedience he was sus-
pended from command, his orders revoked, and the
powers OF other nations requested to seize him and
his vessels Proclamation OF President Houston
And that he was further, at his own request, court
nartialed; and that, after fair and patient inves-
tigstion Of his offences, for upwards Of seventy
DAYS, he was found guilty Of various specifications
Of disobedie Of orders.-p: IL.
Fourlhly, That the Legislature of Texas, by
joint resolution, illegally atempte to release him
from the effect Of the court martial, and that Pre-
sdent Jones vetoed the resolutions, and confirmed
the sentence whereby Commodore Moore was
finally dismissed the service See pro clamation OF
President Jones, pages III, IL, and IL.

be claimed that any Of the officers Of the Texas
navy had any right to be embodied in our own lie

the distinction between an exposition and bazaar

being surrounded with light, simple, and elegant

the doors. There are to be four exits at the east
end, four at the west, and six on the south side.
The main entrancesare TO be three in number-one

the specimens of the castings we saw, will not add
materially to the character which "the Woods

works, at present enjoy for lberaty and good
taste. Let us bear gently, however, on their
faults. They have consented TO sacrifice " Colonel

after the annexation, sued out q mandamus againee
the Secretary Of the Navy to compel him to issue
TO him his pay as an officer OF our navy The
learned Judge states in his decision that the only
pretext for such claim the construction of the
above section, and clearly shows that although
navy may mean ships and men, it cannot in this
connection. That the negotiation was not in re-
ment in favor Of including he officers Of the navy
might with equal force be urged by the officers
and hands in the navy yards and fortiiicaonss and
that the word navy no more includes lts oficer
than the word Notifications does the officers and
soldiers Of the republic. The motion was summa-
rly denied, as it had been in the court below, and
so the legal rights Of a gentleman whose claims
were incSmpar.Sly stronger than Capt; Moore:
transfer of officers; and If We engage to aid an
ally with our navy, it would be q subterfuge to
send unnamed hulks, but If we bargain to sell
our navy, il would be hard TO include IN the sale
our officers and men, supposedly white and free.
Sixthly, After Capt. Moore's dismissal, Capt. j.
G. Tod was appointed IN his place, with date from
June %, lS40, certificate OF Secretary Of Marine,
page 44,) and he, if any person, is entitled to all
privileges under the treaty.
Seventhly, Captain Moore claims to be re store

the heads OF many who have proved themselves to
be at east his equals in courage-have borne our
nag win credit during a late war-and added bnl-
liant laurels to the reputation OF our navy. As to
its being "a mere matter of few dollars and
cents" as your correspondent states, the back
pay of Captain Moore. il his claim were allowed,
must be some 10000 to $50 600, which would
be an item, even IL il were matter of no other
and deeper importance.
Eiehthly, That the regulations of Texas ought
10 have nothing to say in the premises, as it is a
matter Of construction Of an act of Congress, and
has been settled, fer the law is concerned, by
The United States Court. That their anxiety to
provide for some Of her sons is natural; but that
law and justice will preclude its ever being done.
