To the N. o. Daily Papers.

Washington, March 27.-In the Un-
tied States Senate yesterday, Mr..
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, in reply
ing to Mr.. Douglas, said the Rebubli-
cans had yielded nothing essential.
He asked the Republican Senators
whether they had.
Mr.. Collamer, of Vermont, replied
mot that they were aware Of
Mr.. Douglas said Kentucky had
justice and equality in the Territories,
according to the test prescribed by Mr..
Breckenridge, and that the recent or
ganization of new Territories was upon
q non-intervention plan. The Repub-
licans had abandoned the Wilmot pro-
viso and Congressional interference,
and repudiated the doctrine of prohibit
ton of slavery by Congress.
The Douglas resolution was then
taken up and tabled by vote of ayes
"a, nays II.
Mr.. breckenridge offered a resolu-
ton that the Senate recommend and
advise the withdrawal of United States
troops from the limits of the Confeder-

most important piece of military diplo-

Where will all these soldiers be station

circles. 1t is said that they will be
kept in eastern cities.
The new adjutant- general has taken
charge of his duties at Washington.
Col. Lorenzo Thomas is one of ablest
officers in the service, and his admins
trative talents have been for a long
time appreciated by General Scott, who
has embraced the first opportunity to
exalt him to one of the first positions at
his disposal. The adjutant received his
first commission in 1923, since which
time he has distinguished himself in
every branch of an officers duty.
As yet no movement had been set on
foot in the navy or out of it, to do any
thing for the wives and depending
friends of the offircrs and crew who are
supposed to have been lost in the ILL
fated United States ship Lovant. There
is hardly any reason to hope that she
still floats and the three hundred citi-

duty, leave families behind who have

a Ieras-Fromtier Protection.-Speak-
ing of the provision made by the con-
vention for the defence of the frontier
against the attacks of the Indians, the
Galveston News remarks:
In addition to the regiment ofmount-
ed men which is being raised under the
authority of the government OF the
Confederate States, the convention has
provided for another regiment of mount
ed men, which will finally, no doubt,
be Also mustered into the service of our
new general government. These two
thousand Texas Rangers will, we be-
lieve, afford complete protection to the
frontier, and will be more efficient
against the Indians than ten thousand
Of the old regular federal troops.
Bell county is organizing company
of rangers for the protection of the
frontier, under the late act Of the leg
islature. The Bolton Democrat says
that eighteen or twenty men formed the
company at Bolton. We learn from
the Democrat that, on the Sd inst, a
party of Indians made decent ON Pa
10 Pinto. They succeeded in stealing
many horses and making good their
escape. ..
Playing soldier, as the old man in
Alabama played "hoss," just for fun,
does not pay. Some of our young
citizen soldiers, (says the Civilian
who have returned from the Rio Grande
say this going where glory waits ye
haint one agreeable feetur,' not that
they mind dying; but they'do not like
the living. Salt port, hard bread, black
coffee, and beans, do not come up to
the Galveston standard; and although
the invitation Of Roderic Dhu to Fitz
James to share soldiers couch, a
soldiers fare is regarded as the height
of hospitality, there are always among
| young volunteers few who do not re-
gard this style of living as quite equal
toathe st. Charles.

THE ELECTION.

On Monday next the time will have
arrived for the voters of our Parish
to exercise their free choice in the
selection of citizen to fill the Office
of Judge of the Second Judicial
District, of which this Parish now
forms a portion.
The only names we have heard
spoken of are those of the Hon.
Victor Burthe of this Parish, and that
of the Hon. James Foulhouze, of St.
Bernard and Plaquemines, which Par
ishes now form a part of the Second
Judicial District. Of the first named
gentleman, it would be superhuous to
say word to our readers on the
subject, as his services for the past
tho terms are so generally approved,
and SO highly appreciated by our
citizens, that any remarks from us in
commentator of him would be deemed
entirely unnecessary. Experience has
demonstrated fully to this community,
that in him they have found an honest
and independent Judge, possessed, in
the largest degree with all the most
important qualifications which should
always adorn the Bench.
Of his opponent, the Hon. James
Foulhouze, facts and circumstances
with which We have been somewhat
conversant heretofore, will not warrant
us in Vusing the same language in re.
gard to his fitness for the Office Of
Judge of the Second District.
We therefore close with the ole
adage--" That a bird in the hand, q
qoorM taco IN the bush"-which we
expect the voters of our Parish vii
not forget ON this important occasion.

RoHLrING, announcing the opening of
his Ne0 Floaoer Garden, on Madison
street, for the reception of his friends
and the public generally, on tomorrow,
Sunday, March 81. 1861. The peculiar
and unequalled capacities in possession
of the Doctor for catering to the
desires of his visitors, are so favorably
known and appreciated by the public,
that it would be deemed superfuous to
enumerate them here-call at The
Garden and examine its beauties.

Cold Weather, North and .Sou,b

Cold Weather, North and Somh.-
Extreme cold weather, for the spr;no
of the year, (says the True Delta of
yesterday has been experienced both
North and South within the past ton
days. A snow storm of unusual viz
lence set in on Sunday night, the 18th.
in various portions of the South. A.
Wilmington, n. c., and in Southwestern
Virginia, snow fell to the depth of four
inches, and the merry jingle of sleieb-
bells startled the oldest inhabitanf :,
while at Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va.
at noon on the 10Th, it had been sno,g;no,
thirty-two hours. The ground was
then covered to the depth of twelve
inches. Not a few people there look
unexpected Northern INVASION The
snow, however, under the genial infu-
ences of bright sun, rapidly sevacu
ated.' Sleighs were out in both Rich
mond and Petersburg on Tuesday. The
snow at Wilmington, N. c., was pre-
ceded by a violent storm of thunder
and lightning.
Snow fell at Charleston. S. c., to the
depth of two inches on the 18th, and
the Mercury fell to 81 degrees.
To the intense disgust of every
reasonable person (says the Augusta
Chronicle Of the 19th) the cold rain
of yesterday intensified its disagree
ableness, by changing into a regular
snow-storm last night about o'clock.
The snow came down in manner which
would have done no dishonor to New
England or Canada, but on account of
the dampness of the earth melted
almost as soon as it fell.
Quite a severe snow-storm prevailed
last week in Philadelphia, New York,
Boston and throughout the North
generally; in some cases delaying the
railroad trains.

THE "SoUTHERN FAMILY JOURNAL"
published in Baltimore, Maryland, by
Charles H. Moore & Co., is unques-
tionably good Southern Literary
paper, and will compare favorably
with the best Northern w eekly periodi-
calls in every department. The pub

Journal new story by Mrs.

Wife and Widows" the last production
from the pen of that talented lady.
The present tale fully sustains the
high reputation her former productions
have awarded to that gifted authoress
in every community where they have
been perused.
AS q Family newspaper, the Jour
nal' is certainly superior to the majority
of the Northern productions, and
deservedly merits the liberal patronage
of Southern public. The paper is
devoted to Art, Romance, Science and
News, and published at the low price

Speech from Coz. Houston.-The
Austin correspondent of the Galveston
News, under date 2lst, writes:
While am writing, Gen. Illusion

at half-past eleven and continued, as l
learn, till half-past one, making two
hours, and was then follwed by Jack
Hamilton, who is now speaking at =. p.

me that Gen. Houston's speech is
denuniciatory of the convention from
beginning to end. He predicts that

toms and Hamilton's speeches to my

Mysterious Eires.-In the early

NMySCST1ouS x1TeSs-ln the early
part of the present week fire was
discovered by the occupants of q
small house on a back street in this
city, to be burning in bale of hay
in the yard, not far distant from the
dwelling. The people Immediately
extinguished the flames in the hay--and
on looking toward the house saw u
blaze in a portion of it, which was
also Immediately smothered, when 10 !!
another blaze of fire was observed on
the top of safe; that also subdued,
and still another fire was discovered
consuming a lady's unfinished dress
lying upon a table; that was also extin-
guished, when it was observed that
smoke was proceeding from an
unopened trunk, which had remained
in that condition for an unknown
length of time. The occupants then
deserted the dwelling for a time,
believing that some Internal machine
was in operation to destroy them.
The Hon. Mayor and some of the
City Fathers and citizens visited the
scene of the extraordinary occurrence
in the evening, in search of the inrlsible
spirits which had produced SO suddenly
the appearance of the flame almost
simultaneously upon tho premises, in
the several locations they had been so
timely discovered; they failed, how
ever, in the discovery of the invisible
but were successful in finding some
UiSible spirits at no very great distance

RuATAN, March 90, 1861.
Considerable excitement was caused
here q few days ago by report that a
schooner had landed 100 flibusters at
the harbor of Port Royal, situated
about the middle of the island, but it
turned out to, be the schooner Taylor.
Captain Lombert, from your port. with
emigrants for Great River, on the
Mosquito shore. The Taylor had been
crtiising about the Mosquito shore for
some days, but could not find Great
River, so came to Port Royal for a
pilot, and after getting one started for
Great River again. This news, when
it reaches Truxillo, will scare the
Hondurans awfully. for they would
name of filibuster.
The Island is in fourished state at
present. Five fruit vessels have load
ed, within these last ten days for your
port; the value of their cargoes being
about $1,000 each vessel. But good bye
to all these good times, if Honduras
ever gets possession of these beautiful
little islands. Their port charges, and
other impositions, will stop all trade.
But perhaps they (the Hondurians)
will think twice before receiving the
islands.
A few days past, schooner arrived
here from Belize, for part of the British
troops stationed among us. Itappears
the Indians are fighting again on the
frontiers of the British settlements near
Belize. There were seventy soldiers
on the Island, under the command of
Lieut.. Dunn, a gentleman who has won
the heart of every one here by his kind
and courterous manner. S. w.

Goods Duty Free.-The st. Louis
Republican, of the 23d inst, has the
following:
Every day our importers of foreign
merchandise are receiving, by way Of
New Orleans, very considerable guam
titles of goods, duty free. the goods
are landed at the port of New Orleans
no customhouse notice is taken OF
them-no bonds are executed for the
payment of duties on their arrival here;
and on many articles the saving ofone
half the duty, only, would afford hand
some profit. IF this thing is to become
permanent, there will be an entire revo-
luton in the course of trade, and New
York will suffer terribly. Our mer-
chants have capitol enough to Justify
them in making their purchases in
Europe, and shipping to New Orleans,
and in that city, because of the differ
ence in the tariff, goods can be bought
cheaper than in New York. With
these advantages, we shall be able to
sell cheaper than any other city In the
Valley of the Mississippi.
w The N. 0. Picayune of yes
terday morning, in noticing the above
paragraph, remarks
LAS this statement of our st Louis
contemporary is not strictly correct,
and may give erroneous impressions to
our readers, we would state for his, as
we'll as their, better information, that
as we are informed by good authority,
all importations into the port of New
Orleans are subject to the notice and
supervision of the Customhouse au-
thorities of the Confederate States.
And all goods SO imported, when des-
tined for st. Louis or other parts of the
United States, are governed by the
sane regulations as those destined for
Mexico or other foreign countries,
which regulations, under the warehous-
ing acts, permit The goods to be entered
for warehouse and immediate export.
On such entries an export bond is exc
cuted, and under this bond the goods
pass without detention to their desti-
nation.
"The export bond in this case is not
a bond for securing the payment of
duties, but all obligation to land the
goods at the port or place of destina-
ton without the limits of the Confed-
crate States, and produce to the Col
lector to whom the bond is given the
evidence of the goods having been SO
landed.
