Sam al New Orleans.

The New Orleans papers are all very humorous
over the result of the corporation election in
that city ON Monday of last week when the
Know Nothings elected their entire ticket, with
the exception Of Assistant Aldermen. The
Bee thus prefaces the returns:
That interesting & ubiquitous parsonage known
US Sam made his appearance yesterday III our
midst. His presence, US may he Inferred from the
statistics in our columns, was greeted in almost
every quarter of our city. with unexampled enthu-
siasm. In the upper portion and particularly III
the First District, Sam was surrounded by thou
sands of heart felt friends and supporters, and
carried in triumph from point to point. In TACT
throughout the city, there was scarcely to be
found a single spot lere the popular newcomer
failed to receive IA cordial welcome. Sam Is deci-
dedlv good looking fellow. lie has frank, bluff
and intelligent countenance strongly indicating Il
sound head and honest heart His appearance is
exceedingly attractive, and wherever he goes he
wins upon the affections of the people. Oppose
ton 10 Sam is frutless; his enemies look at him
and shirk away discouraged and humiliated-
Yesterday they made a desperate attempt to raj
Nv, and prevent him from travelling about among
his votaries. They thought perchace that II
they could keep him out of Now Orleans, they
might arrest his farther journey, and thus disable
him from going to Virginia, whittier, we learn
he sproc seding by easy stages so as to get there
about the fourth Thursday in May. But the ef-
fort was a terrible abortion. Sam overcame tho
hostility of his foes without much trouble, and
went on his way exulting and victorious.
1--WE trust our special friends the Locofocos are
nv this time convinced that Sam is not to be east
" nut down. He cannot be wheedled, and as for
bullying him it is out of the question Sam is re-
solved on radical REFORM and has hearty alb
horance of old fogies, chques and lotteries. lie
showed this yesterday in an unmlstakeabie man
ner."
Democracy,n its general discontinue through
the country, has endeavored to console itself
with the thought that .'Sam" would not flourish
in the South; that there was a repugnance between
him and Cuff; and that the sight of cotton fields
and the smell of sugar plantations would be in :
;nrious to his health. This is mistake. IL
takes as kindly to the Tropcs,as the monkey or
the parrot. Indeed he naturally has an extre me
relish for Cufdoa, for there he is freer from the
anpoyances of foreigners. and escapes the MUIR
derous maebinations of the abolitonists. He is
at home in the South, and has come to take pos
session Of his Inheritance. $50, get out OF the
way. you Loco clique

and were drawn by the current into the ca.
verns. Many thought that the Arabs had
fled by some secret issue, or at least that
they had found a retreat where the fire could
not reach them. This state of uncertainty
lasted all night.
At daybreak a company, composed
partly of artillery and partly of engineers,
received orders to penetrate the caves. A
melancholy silence, broken by distant means,
prevailed there. At the entrance, the ami.
mails, whose heads had been covered over to
prevent them from seeing or making noise,
lay half reduced to cinders. Then were be.
held fearful groups which death had seized
upon. Here mother had been suffocated
just as she was defending her children against
the fury Of bull, whose horns she still held,
and whom the fire had stihed at the same
time.
"To add to the horror of the scene, tho
naked corpses poured forth their blood by
the mouth, and by their attitudes attested
the dreadful character Of the death struggle.
Here two spouses, or two lovers, were lock.
ed in each others arms. New born chill.
dren lay amongst the chests and the .provi-
sions, and in other places were concealed in
the garments of the mothers. In fine, scat
tered in every direction, were to be seen mu-
tilated masses Of human flesh, trampled un..
