The Legislature of Louisiana meets in Baten

passed by the Convention which adjourned last
spring. Matters of considerable Importance will
come up for consideration and determination.

diligence and industry is brought to bear. The
Legislature should NEEDLE with nothing outside
the immediate necessities of the times and should
adjourn the moment the particular work in hand is

empty, and the taxpayers cannot bear up unte,
unnecessary burdens. Besides, no man can tel

We are engaged in desperate war, which we

the first week OF the session expires, it is quite
probable that the enemy will encounter over

which will render him predsposed to peace. If
this should prove the case, extraordinary legisla

should happen, and extraordinary legislation be
deemed indispensable, the General Assembly can

Itwas remarkably quiet on the grand rue Caron

to be the great center Of movements. On the

forward beyond retail transactions. There were
some remarks about blockade and recognition BY

topics at, the general selected rendezvous of the
frequenters on Change. 1t is settled fact that
the Lancashire folks can get along till the 1stof

cotton, or cotton from Ameriea-th Southern
Confederacy-knewn to be en- route for England,

against only Al 900 bales same time last year. In
talking Of the great cotton trade, it must not be
