STILL ANOTHER mARpnoRAs BALL.

The night of shrove Tuesday, the 18th inst,
promises to be one of unexampled gaiety. In ad-
dition to the Mardf-gras balls already announced by
us, we find that the gay Algerines are getting up
one of their own. We have received polite in
vltaton to be present at the Mardigras hop Of the
Young Bachelors of Algers," to come off at their
St. Charles Bali Room. We fear we cannot spare
ourselves from this side of the river on Mardi-gras
night; but if we should miss, our faithful friend
Charles Augustus Brown Ito whom Q. G. snodgrass
Writes) will attend to it for US and send US all the
particulars

A Frenchman, resolved to be rid of life went, d
little before high tide to post set up by the sea
side. He had provided himself with a ladder, a
rope, pistol, bundle of matches and a vial of
poison. Ascending the ladder, he tied one end of
the rope to the post and the other round his neck;
then he took the poison set his clothes on fire, pnt
the muzzle of the pistol to his head and kicked
away the ladder. In kicking down the ladder, he
sloped the pistol so that the bali missed his head
and cut through the rope by which he was sus-
pended; he fell into the sea- thus extinguishing the
flames of his clothes, and the sea water.which he
lnyoiuntarily swallowed counteracted the poison,
and thus in spite of his precautions, he remained
9nhanged, unshot, imprisoned, unburned and un-
drowned

STARVATION AND DISTRESS IN ENGLAsD-T The
London and Liverpool papers are filled with dread
fnl accounts of starvation and suffering in the man
ufacturing districts in consequence of the lack of
employment, resulting mainly from the counter
manding of orders from the United States, and the
consequent suspension Of labor. There is q loud
call for the organization of "relief soceties,t'
soup houses" "fuel and clothing establish
ments" ETC., in all the great towns and cities. The
reports we quoted last week, in the Express, from
the trade circulars showed the condition of things
in Manchester, Leeds and Huddersfield. Nothing
ham, too, is serious sufferer. One of the journals
states officially "that the number of indoor
poor at the poor house, exceeded by 4i6 those
from the corresponding period last year. while the
outdoor recipients Amounted to 20l6 more than
last year. In comparison with last week. there
were more than 1000 applicants for outdoor re-
lief"

ANOTHER OF RUSSEELsS FALSE
HOODS REPUTED.

ANOTHER OF RUSSELL'S FALSE
HOODS REPUTED.
It will be remembered that Mr.. RUSSELL, of
the London Times, who has recently exhibited
such proficiency in the act OF lying, stated in
one of his letters what purported to be a con-
versation between himself and ga very intel
igent Southern gentleman, formerly editor of
a newspaper" upon the probable policy of
the Confederate States in the future, regarding
foreigners and the right Of suffrage.
This "Southern gentleman" publishes a
brief card in the West Tennessee Wing, and
shows said RUSSELL to be a considerable TO-
mancer. We extract:
Mr.. Russell does me great injustice, and
does our people great injustice generally, in
this letter. | did give it to Mr.. Russell as my
opinion that when we drive back the tyrants
and usurpers Of the North, (of which we
never had a doubt secure our indenendence
and establish our permanent government, that
no man who did not reside here at hat time
could ever have access to our ballot box. There
is no injustice in this to any one. l asked him
the direct question if w were not right, be
replied that we were-that against that radl-
cal doctrine of universal suffrage, his govern
ment had been fighting for years, and that the
strongest argument brought to bear against
them was the prosperity Of the United States,
which government did open its ballot box to
the world.
No man is worthy of a place in the South
ern ConfederacY who would deprive any one,
who passes through this struggle with US, of
any enjoyment or privilege granted to the
highest favored in the government.
| would not have noticed this matter, bu'
from the fact, that the charge is so unjust,
ana might'b be believed by some.

THE TENNESSEE TRAITORS--AR-
REST OF NELSON.

~ = ~ 4 ~ y
Information has been received in this city
that Hon. Horace Maynard, and George w.
Bridges-(the latter accompanied By his fam
lily, )-have left the State, as is supposed, for
Washington. Both Of them were candidates
for the United States congress on the Union
ticket, and left at the earliest moment, after
the election, doubtless fearing arrest. Hon.
Thos. A. R. Nelson also left, but was arrested
in Lee county, Virginia, and sent to Abingdon.
We regret that all three Of these misguided
men were not arrested. The two who hsve
escaped may do the State serious injury BY
conveying information to the enemy Of the con-
dition Of affairs in Tennessee, and by exposing
to t.em the weak points-if such there be
in our defenses.
We accept the arrest OF Mr.. Nelson as an
indication that heuceforth there is to be no
Cancellation and concession in our policy to-
ward treason sne traitors. FOrbesTsncs has
been practiced until it ceased to be a virtue;
traitors awaited themselves OF 10 to carry out
their inirigues the more effectively, and to in
crease the peTils which bang over the true
men Of the State. Hereafter the authority Of
the Confederate States must be respected, and
the laws obsyed. Men in Tennessee who
still cling to the Union, and sigh for the REIN
statement Of its authority, must expect either
to change their views or their place OF resi-
dence. Enemies cannot be tolerated in our
midst, whilst we are engaged in deadly strife
with the North with its excess Of men aud SUI
p~eriority Of arms and other materials Of war.
We must have thorough uDanimity at what
ever cost. Whether this result shall be at
tanned only st the price Of civil war, rests al
most exclusively with those whose sympathies
with the Lincoln usuTpstion have placed them
in opposition to tbe verdict Of the State in
favor OF southern independence. IL they sub
nit, all will be right. IF they prefer to force
the issue Of a bloody a~Tbitrament, upon them
be the responsibility.
