"A correspondent Ol tle new OrieanS Tlca-
yune, gives the following lively sketch of the
Presidents first levee this winter:
The President held his first levee of this season
this evening. 1t was brilliantly attended and, as
usual, densely crowded. On account of the death
of Senator Norris, the band of music was dispensed
with Mrs. President Pierce received for the first
time. She was dressed in deep black, and her fea-
lures wore the traces Of deep affection. Lady
Murray, maid Of honor to Queen Victoria, now ON
visit to the States, was present, displaying all her
young charms (she is about fifty years old and
dressed like some dancing school miss, with short
sleeves and low necked dress. She is still Miss
Murray, and claims TO have been sweetheart OF
Lord Byron, but her love was unrequited, which
accounts for her celibacyl In the general jam and
squeeze any quantity Of ladies' skirts were torn,
handkerchiefs and fans lost and hearts too, should
think, considering the numerous hirtations going
| on in the alcoves of the windows.
| On the general break up, las Is always the case,
| the scene In the ladies' and gentlemens reception
room was very rich. "Ma, l can't find my shawl,
| lsps fra blonde. Somebody has taken my
mantilla,n exclaims brunette, with flashing eye.
That's my hood thank ye man," speaks q
doughty old lady, snatching the article from a
sharp-nosed speckle-face woman. Laura, my
dear, the carriage is waiting for us; where can
| Charles be ~ says an anxious mamma, and thus q
| hundred voices are reiterating the same sort d
thing, differently expressed, all over the room
Now, in the gentlemen's department. the scene il
equally rich. "Who in the - has taken my
hatsp shouts a fierce looking mustachiod gentle
man, picking up at the same time coal-scuttle
looking thing left in the place Of 1t, big enough TO
allow his head to swell in Somebody has
changed hats with me, here" e1clsims another
dandyfed victim; twill some gentleman please
rectify the mistake ~ "What ia the matter Mr..
Brown " Is asked of western gentleman In a
terrible rage. "Why, sir, d. some one has
taken of my new cloak" And thus the confusion
goes on to the great merriment of the "old ones, "
who look on and smile MT the green ones

hold language like this: "Wc pray God that Louis
Napoleon, the protector Of the Catholic Church,
will invade the domains of Victoria, the head Of
the Protestant Church, and meet, conquer, and de-

He now read the Cardinals oath, which provides
that the swearer shall in all ways do his utmost to
uproot hercsy and persecute heretics the bishops,
and priests, and Jesuits oath carrying the matter

The Deceptive HandbiIIs--An An

is ~NSSWERT TO Mr.. FONTAINE.-Mr. Bowen,
"Chief Agent" OF the Richmond Frede-
ricksburg and Potomac Railroad, publishes reply to
President Fontape's late card published in this paper
alleging "A most 4mpudent and Unprecedented Fraud
and Fslsehood" on the agents of the Fredericksburg
company. The reply is very bitter, and audes to
many things besides the subject of Mr.. Fontaines
complant-to wit, the dissemination of handbis
presenting the Fredericksburg road part of the
''srea; Southern mail route" &c. This allegation
Mr. Bowen pronounces false; and hurls back the
was ever handed passenger by any gent for
usv He assails the Central and Orange roads with
great savageness: says the highest Judicial author
ity in the land has convicted the former of fraud
upon us"--a fraud now persisted in, &c. He save,
unless the State of Virginia cecks the insane course
of the Orange and Central companies, their bank
ruptcy certain aud describes the route afforded by
them as zone hundred and seventy-fve miles of badly
managed and dan eTous roads" &c.
We DO propose to get between the fires of these
locomotive gentlemen. But have alluded
this subject ourselves will say that hare
such handful as that described by Mr. Fonaine and
of this city, i'll tue Baltimore cars. 1t was signed "E.
F. Krebs. agent''-and SIr Boren says that j. K,ebs
IS the Baltimore agent 81 the Company. And more
than this: There lies before the Baltimore
Patriot of date the 18th of October, in which appears
en- advertisement dated October 1855 signed e. f.
Krebs, agent" t-hic in The tract icords and figures
of the handful described by Mr.. Fontane and denied
by Mr.. Bowen. This advertisement, achich stands
there n0lg and is signed "E F. krebs agent" is head
ed Great Southern Mail Line!" The only line
rving the Great Southern Mail" &c. And yet Mr..
Bowen says that the allegation that they represent
theirs the mail line is false-falso in your
teeth"
The public are therefore required and perhaps ex-
pected by Mr.. Bowen to believe, that somebody I'M
known to him and the company has inserted long
advertisement in ia city paper for their benefit to
which he forged the name of their Baltimore agent:
and that this unknown and INSCRIPTIONS friend has
forged handbs to the same purport, and flooded the
cars with them to influence passengers Who is il
that the with such and of pyrse and
conscience, the great mystery. Who is ii! Let the
Baltimore Patriot say how 1t came by the advertise

free with his name. Let Mr.. Bowen find ont who il
is that has put his company in such positon.rr-
