TThe New Orleans Bee, in commenting
upon highly inaammatory article in the col
umns Of the Orlean:an, edited by q foreigner,
concludes thus:
The American party intend Ina. the election
in November shall be conducted peaceably
fairly and honoraby. They aim not to eur
tail or abrogate any voters undoubted right
They desire neither to intimidate nor overawe
native or nataralzed citizens They claim
nothing but what is right, and will submit to
nothing that is wrong. They ask an honest
expression of the public sentiment; that none
but legal votes shall be cast; that justice be
awarded on all sides, and they are willing to
submit 10 the fat Of a Lawful majority. There
will be no violence, no turbulence Of their
seeking,-there will be no frauds Of their perpe.
tration, no difficulties at the polls created BY
them. Let our opponents be actuated by =
simiiar praiseworthy spirit, and we will answer
for il, that nothing win occur to east a stigma
or slur on The character Of New Orleans But
in order to preserve peace and public order.
such misehievous and iufammatory articles as
the one we have copied. must be banished from
the press. Their tendency is dangerous, and
they seem TO be inspired BY the very worst of
motives. Similar articles in the anti American
Journals Of Louisville proved the precursors Of
the melancholy and disgraceful outbreaks in
that city. 80 e.' i

lived in the neglect Of positive duties, has pass
ed a mis-spen, life, has thrown away opPortu-
mites, has, in short, lived life OF selishness
aud sensuality, memory, when the passions
have cooled. and the fashions Of this world are
passing away. is a most direfal companion
And what is worse, it cannot be thrown off,
II sticketh closer than brother. Il takes hold
of the heart as if il were fastened there with
hooks of steel. Ghosts Of golden hours thrown
away continually haunt the mind. Thinking
sets the brain on fire, and hope refuses to lend
her medicinal balm To ease the laccraied bosom.
If hope deferred makeih mad. hope destroyed
drives to despair. Nothing but an unfeigned
repentance will bring peace to heart SO much

the French inhabitants Of Canada is exceeding
ly simple. They grow their own wool and flax
to great extent, ard spin and weave the do

bedding is homemade their furniture ex-
,remely simple and inexpensive, as well as
their houses. As 10 their food, this may be
taken as their daily bill of fare: Breakfast
sour milk and black bread which is made of
barley flour, very dark colored, mixed with rye
pounded in wooden mortar. For dinner, the
same bread in soup, generally made of pork,
and frequently thickened with peas for sup
per, sour milk and black bread At the Sun
day dinner they have potatoes. Tea, coffee,
and sugar are rarely used, and no fruit except
wild cherries or plums, and bu, little butter,
cheese, or meat. Fish is considerable arli-

the staple food Of all the French population

Some of the Consequences of a Rumor.

The following curious story, in illustration
of the Russian military rules, is translated
from German paper:
At the time the report of the taking of Sc
vastopol was current, rich nobleman from the
town Of =, on the frontier of Galacie, re-
ceived letter announcing the fall of Sevasto-
pol and the burning of Odessa. He had some
friends with him at the same time to whom he
communicated the contents, requesting them,
however, not TO mention it. Unfortunately
his wishes were disregarded, and in few
hours nothing in all Warsaw was spoken of
but the burning of Odessa and taking of Sevas-
topol.
The report was carried to Prince Paskie-
witch, who Immediately sent for the nobleman
and asked him
Count, from whence have you this news .
The noblemau handed the Prince the letter.
There is not word of truth in all this, said
the Prince.
Thought So answered the Count, sand
only mentioned it to few confidential friends,
with request not 10 repeat it.
The government has full confidence in you,
as you have repeatedly given proofs of your
loyalty said the Prince, I'VE are far from a
wish to punish you for this. But 1 desire
that you should convince yourself by pleas
ure trip TO Odessa and Sevastopol, that the
report is totally false.'
As your Hghness orders
go to my Secretary, and he will tell you
Of my further wishes
The Count left and repaired to the Secre-
tary, who handed him prepared passport
Scarcely had he arrived at his own house,
when an aid-de-camp entered and announced
to him that the carriages and post horses were
awaiting him.
During the time the burning of Odessa and
the taking of Sevastopol occupied all Europe,
our unfortunate Count was on his unwilling
journey, behind four fiery s,eeds, to convince
himself of the truth of the report. AT Odessa
he was taken to the palace of the Governor,
who received him kindly, but Immediately or
dered him to Sevasto2ol. Here also he was
politely received by Menchikof, taken every
where, and then Immediately sent back to
Warsaw, where, as soon as he was out of the
carriage, he was conducted to the Prince, who
ascosted him with the remark, well, Count,
what do you now believe. Are Odessa and
SevastopOl taken,'
oh, your Highness,' answered the Count,
who was half dead with his hurried Journey,
'both towns are still secure, SO secure that
they can never be taken go, then, invite
your confidential friends to your house, tell
them under the seal OF secresy, all that you
have seen, SO that on this day, all Warsaw
may know it,
Scarcely had the Count reached his house,
when the same aid-de-camp entered, and hand
ed him the bill of the expenses of the journey
The unfortunate Count had to pay seven thous.
and and several hundred silver roubles for his
indiscretion.
Since this affair, no one in Warsaw tells,
even to bis bosom friend, news from the seat O
war, although it should have appeared official
ly in the public journals.
