From IL y New Orleans Pcayune, Nov. IL
The election is Over-a result for which we are
truly thankful The votes have been counted the ad-
ditions and comparisons made the results published
and well known. The noise. shouting, speech MAX
ing, hustle and excitement have all been concluded.
The killed and the wounded have been properly
cared for. and to the victors belong the spols.'
Men accustomed to dime drinks have purged
themselves of the brandy imblbed at the picayune
shops, while drinking with the sovereigns the head
aches and heartbunings are over, and the feverish
and delirious excitement with which the community
has been afflicted has happily disappeared.
With such good radiance from politics and elee-
ton, the prospect before US for scenes Of greater u
lily and more peasantness is cheering. Our cii-
zens as well as our transient population have mostly
returned to Us. The city was never more healthy.
Families have become settled in their domiciles.
The usual yearly repairs to stores aud dwellings,
have been completed The greatest variety Of both
useful and fanciul merchandise has been received by
our merchants, and is now temptingly displayed.
The ranks OF all professions, artizans mechanics and
labOrers, are now full and the soldiers of the differ
ent occupations are ready to receive marching or
working orders.
Country merchants, planters, and even the good
women folks are now visiting us, to make their win
ter purchases. Ships and steamboats, multiplying
each day in number at wharves, while the levee
having been thoroughly repaired, presents scene of
unsurpassed bus ness activity with its vast piles OF
country produce or foreign merchandise, each seek.
ing its appropriate market With these facts united
with general prosperity, large crops, and the W I'll
known energy of our people, the promise of a sue
cessful and profitable business season Is unusually
fatteliDg.
In matters of amusements, socisl enjoyments, and
mental pleasures the glance ahead is full OF cheering
assurance Of" a good time coming" At no time
within our remembrance have all our theatres aud
concert rooms been in the same good order as at tre
present time The st. Charles, the Varieties, and
the Orleans theatres have been thoroughly altered,
decorated, and much improved; the Amphtheare is
entirely lew, while the fine concert rooms Of the
Odd Fellows H al and Mechanics Institute we're

ball rooms about the city are now in the hands o.

Ne" are nov daily arriving; musical artists are on
hdf way hither; lecturers have been engaged;
exrnisies and fashion ables have returned with lots
OF white kids, opera glasses, AMI foreign airs
adding to the catalogue? The list of attractions lie
long enough already to drain our pockets end drive
US half frantic with delightful anticipatons.
