came from another quarter but the pamphlets were d.

Glad to hear it. But, we would like to know
whether any of the aforesaid pamphlets, des-

the proper word-were printed in the French
language The one that accidentally came
into our hands was printed in English To

CoRREcrIoN.-Th is going the rounds of
the commercial papers of the country, an
account giving the value Of exports from the
United States for the last quarter Of the fiscal
year ending the Both jane last. As it does not
give correct amount of the value Of exports
from New Orleans, we have taken the liberty Of
correcting the statement, though signed as en-
anating from the Treasury Department at
Washington and it may be we'll enough that
the Register or Auditor Of the Department be
somewhat more particular hereafter The
table, as corrected, will be found in our fnan-
cial column. Instead of the exports to foreign
countries from New Orleans being only $685.
623 as in the Treasury statement, they should
read $sl3,273 453, and the total exports from
the United States should read as we have made
the amount, $81 ,224 6S8 insteadof $s68. 1902 Ala.

ficting-the driver Of the carriage and his

he sounded the whistle twice. From all of the

this is onsof those accidents occasioned not SO

The ANNoYANeEs OF THE PosT-0FF DE-
pARraENT. - There never was, and we hope
there never will be again, an Administration of
the General Government that ever rendered 80
little service to the country as the present. In
every trifing, little, contemplate act, it stands
pre- eminent. None has been made more mani
fest than the order issued some weeks ago in
regard to the way mail bags of the boats be-
tween this city and Mobile. Why this particu-
lar line was singled out as mark Of contumely
by the Post-O Office Department, is difficult to
learn, though the paltry excuse is given that
occasionally few letters might, perchance, be
passed without contributing to the revenue Of
the Department The citizens of New Orleans
were enjoying every facility in the transmits
sion Of packages and bundles to the several
villages and seashore resorts on the Lake and
Gulf; but, since the arbitrary mandate Of Mr.
Assistant Postmaster General Dundas, they are
forced to send every day to the city end of the
railroad, and often to the lake end, to forward
any ordinary package to the places intended
Previous, the regulation Of way-bags, and q
place of deposit at the agents office in most
central locality, was of the greatest convent
ence to our citizens. Moreover, letters could
beaforwarded within thirty minutes of the time
of departure of the boats. Now, they must go
through the Post-eface, and reach their in
tended placss sometimes when due, oftener
one to three days past due. The reasons said
to exist for this erder are really too insignif.
can't to receive moments consideration, viz !:
that letters often passed without stamps, or
| stamps were used twice, Then the fault must
be with the officials of the Department, for We
are knowing to the fact that at all the villages
on the Gulf shore, the letters from the boats
were invariably placed in the hands of agents
OF the Department, and VIC never received them
any other way than through the Post. office.
A poor excuse is generally received as better
than none, and We suppose the officials at Wash
ington hold the opinion that poor Administra.
ton of the Government is better than none.

GRAIN.-The rate at which trade is reyiying'
says the N Y Herald, we may almost expect
re turn Of the flush times of 1858. The small
country dealers are beginning to arrive in town
from this and the neighboring States, and as
they are flush, their purchases are holder and
more extensive than usual. It seems actually
certain that we never had so great year for
farmers, and also that, from peculiar eircun-
stances, the war among others, the abundance
Of grain will not produce its usual sffsct-poor
prices. :
