A Movement to Put Down the Reign Of
Terror in New Orleans.

The New Orleans Delta of the 18th has
an article entitled "Mysterious." The
Delta says:
A curious meeting was held lsst night
in the rear room Of the Odd Fellows Hall,
which was surrounded by an unusua! de.
gree Of mystery. Private notes had been
sent around by number of citizens, and
there was a good deal Of whispering a.
round as TO it's objects. \
1t appeared to be a meeting to uomi-
nate and su pport candidates for the State
Convention pledged to oppose seperate
secession aud 10 advocate cooperation
with other States, with the view of OBJ
tanning new guarantees from the Norther
States. The meeting was preslded over
by ]. P. Harrison. of the large cotton
house Of Payne & Harrison; W. o. Dene'
gre. Assistant City Attorney, acted as
Secretary.
The most prominent actors in the NEE,
ting were gentlemen who were conspic'
uous supporters Of Mr.. Bell and Mr.
Douglas in the last Presidential campaign
Among these were Messrs. j. A. Maybin
j. Z. Dunlap. J. T. Durant, lsaac 4
Morse, F. H. Clack, and about one hun
dred and fifty others of the same order OF
political faith. including a, large number
of the recent club of Old Fossils.
The Delta reporter was not allowed to
be present, and this is all the information
In that paper. ..
The True Delta, OF the same date says
A STEP IN TIE RIoHT DrREoTIoN.--For
some time pas. the fageud Of public
opinion in this city has been running riot
on the question Of secession by separate
State action. The decent men of the
community hav. at lat awoke from their
slumbers with determination to have
something to say on question SO Vita
TO- their interests, their honors aud their
lives. An impromptu and private NEE
ting, was, we understand, held last NIGH
in the lecture room of Odd Fellows hall
by the best men Of this CITY, regardlesi
Of political bias. 10 confer freely with
each other on the issues now before the
country. The gentlemen composing tha
meeting, if our information be correct
openly avow themselves in favor of. uni
ted Southern action, in contra distinction
to separate State secession. This iso !
step in the right direction. Let it be fol
lowed up by fearless action, and tru'
patriotism and common sense will sooI
resume their sway in at least the parisl
of Orleans.

Trnnhle in Richmond.

The Richmond corr espondent Of the

Of January, 1861, there will be greater
number of idle men in Richmond than
