brief but feeling and eloquent address. Many peo-
pie were present including the ladies, as matter
Of course and the highest enthusiasm prevailed.
The Beauregard Rifles, Capt j. W. Thomas a
new company, composed of the bravest ard hand
soonest young men of New Orleans, last evening
received a rich and beautiful Confederate flag from
the ladies', at the residence Of Mr.. NJ Judson, cor
ner of Prytania and Clio streets. The place fairly
swarmed with the lovely and the brave. The flag
was presented, with brief but charming address,
by Miss Judson. Capt. Thomas, receiving the flag,
made the following gallant response:
How wocdS behalf of the BearegArd Rifles,

LATEST FROM THE o. P. The National Inte1Ii-
gencer contains q letter from the o. r. r., dated
Wheatland, May 9Th, from which we extract the
following n
Several items in the Intelligencer have awaken
ed my attention to the facility with which military
gentlemen relieve themselves from their oaths and
change their allegiance. military oath has ever
been held sacred in all ages and In ALL countries.
Besides the solemn sanctions Of religion, there iS
superadded the highest appeal to personal honor. !.
Each military officer swears that he will bear true
allegiance to the United states and serve thera
honestly aud faithfully against all their enemies
and opposers whatsoever. They do not swear to-
support the Consultation of any State. Educated
by the United States they belong to the Federal
Government in a peculiar sense. Whist can
imagine why an officer might rgsign rather than
shed the blood Of citizens of his native State in
war, yet it is difficult to excuse or palliate the
next step which is to go over to the enemy, and
make war upon the time -honored flag of the coun-
try. Major Beauregard, when he discharged the
first gun against Fort Sumter, lighted fame
which it will require a long time to extinguish-
The people Of the North at present are enthusi-
astcally unanimous. They never were aroused
until that shot was fired. often warned Southern
gentlemen that this wond be the Inevitable result
/ enjoy good health. and as tranquil spirit as
the evils impending over my country will permit.
Your friend very respectfully S5

How THEY WERE SoARED,-We translate from
" LIE MeschacGb6," of ST. Johns parish, the fol-
lowing, which that paper says it has from q rel-
able source:
Jefferson DaDis' Peac.-At a time when be was7a
Senator in the Congress of the late Union, Jefferson
Davis, who possesses a large fortune, which he
spends generously, bought, in perpetuity, pew in
a Washington church. After he became Chief of
the Confederation of the South the administrators
of the church wrote to him to inform them what
he wished done with his pew. To which the Presl-
dent responded by authorizing the adminLstrators
to dispose of it as they thought proper. The al
ministrators, to mark the donation, had the a name
| of Jefferson Davis engraved upon copper plate,
which was nailed to the pew. The sight OF the
name of the iustrious "rehel" threw the Capital
into great alright, and the rumor spread that
| Davis himself had had placed there this alarming
plate, to manifest his intention of coming soon 70
| install his Government at Washington. Immediately
there was a council of the Cabinet, Scott's surveil-
lance was redoubied, and it was with great diff
Guilty calm was reestablished. What would be
the effect if Davis were to present himself IN per-
son, when his name produces an alarm like
that caused by the words traced by the invisible
hand among the guests of the feast of BAlthazar

preparing for departure to the seat of war in Yir-

They will take with them their six brass field

h0wizers. They will, as we are informed, be
added 10 an artillery force Of twelve batteries,
now at Richmond.
The Artillerists were doing field drill with their
big guns last evening, in presence of large null

Mrs. DoNELsoN TO GEN. scorr.-The following
eloquent appeal to Gen. Scott from the wife of An
drew Jackson Donelson, we find in the Memphis
Bulletin:
MEMPHIS, April %, 1861
General Scoh-Dear Sir: address you not as q
stranger | was introduced to you in S34 ut the
White House by President Jackson as !" my niece,
Miss Martin, of Tennessee" In 1884 / married
Lewis Randolph, grandson of President Jeffer-
son. In 1887 he died and in l84l married Ma
jor Andrew J. Donelson, whom you will remem-
ber. In 1852 saw you frequently in Washington.
I write to you, Gen. Scott as the only man in
the country who can arrest the civil war now be-
had resigned" thrill of joy ran through the
South. Cannon told the glad tdings, and my
heart said, " God bless him." Now it is said you
will never fight under any other than the Star
Spangled Banner" We have loved that banner.
We have loved the Union. But the Union is gone,
and forever, and Wept each star left the field
| of blue and set in night. Now we have another

| OF youI may ask it, but not the usurper and

| Jackson-of General Scott l ask it-sToP THIS
| WAR. Say to the North, you shall not shed your
brothers blood. The sons of Tennessee and the
South have bucked on their armour, and are
ready for the fight. We will fight this battle,
every man, woman and child, to the last cent in
| our pockets, and the last drop of blood in our
| veins. The North boasts of its strength. If this
boast be well founded, it were cOtoaTdice to de-
stroy the weak. But the race is not always to
the swift nor the battle to the stroDg!" God will
defend us when our husbands and SONS go forth to
repel the invaders of our homes, our rights, and
| our soil. Then count the cost, Hero of Battles
and let after ages bless you.

This is the name of another new and gallant
company, just organized in the Third District, with
our old friend Judge Aug Duquercron, of the Fifth
Justices Court, as Captain. The company is com
posed of stout men and brave, men who know all
about ships, and whose services as mechanics
would render them Invaluable in times of warlike
need. Further, their activity. bravery, and en-
durance are well attested in The fact that many of
them are fremen, members of Hope Hook and
Ladder Fire Company No. 5. The list of the Off
GERS elect, and cali for another meeting might,
