comes deeper and deeper, and life
wears to its close, it is pleasant to look

years. If we have home to shelter,
and hearts to rejoice with us, and

ArFAiRs IN WAsHlNGToN.--The
following dispatches are taken FROM
the New Yor', Herald OF the I'd in
stant:
Washington, April . i am able to
state on the authority of Cabinet
officer, that the troops Oh board the
Brooklyn are really intended for the
reinforcements of Fort iickcus, and
that official advices received during
, the last forty-cight hours render it
all but certain that the order to land
them was carried out some days ago.
Three companies OF United States
artillery, which have been stationed
in this city, left here to day on
board the Pawncc, with sealed or
ders. Their destination is unknown.
Various coniect'res and speculations
are ahoat ;;s TO their object and pur-
pose,
Every vessel OF war that can pos
sihlv be spared from her present sta
tion has been ordered home. Orders
| have gone to the Charleston Navy
| Yard to put the United States war
steamer Minnesota III commission
! forthwith.
Instructions were received yastcr-
dav morning fron Washington To
transfer the crew of the Powhatan t"
| Norfolk The men We're placed on
the receiving ship, aud immediately
prepared for their emharllation to the
south. This order was connternan-
ded at later hour, ana they were
again placed on the Powhatan, which
will be fitted out. as quickly AZ pos
sible and proceed to sen ON t'ridaE,
Her destination is most probably to
the relief of Fort Pickens.
The store ship Release has r"ceiv-
ed her crew, and will sal! without
delay, probably to the same dcstina-
tion.
! Attention has been turned to the
/ Wabash. which will I've got in rradi
ness and prorisionrd in order that
she may sail in about three weeks.
On account of the resignation OF
officers unwilling to serve in the CO.
ercion- service, much difficulty has
been experienced III having the ships
properly commanded.
The Paymaster attached to the
Pawuee. G.. w. Clark. has resigned.
Ills place has been filled by ". 6,

CorroN AND COFFEE IN HAVANA.

CoTroN AND COFFEE IN HAVANA.
The following paragraph, from the
Cuban Messenger, iutinates an i'm
portant commercial movement on the
part Of the Spanish government:
III our issue OF the 17th inst, we
mentioned the fact that the subject OF
making this port u general depot for
cotton from the United States. had
been taken into consideration by the
Government ut Madrid, and that it
would shortly b. decided upon. The
latest news from the Peninsula seems
not only to coroborate that fact, but
likewise To- make The concession more
extensive than II was at first reported.
as il appears that the same privilege
is to be extended to foreign coffee.
The papers and correspondence we
have read on the subject set forth that
cotton is to be imported and exported
free of duty; but it Is more reasona-
bic to suppose that it will be admitted
in bond, like all other merchandise in
transitu that is deposited in our bond
ed warehouses, viz: two per cent. Of
tHelr VaiuatioH Nieu taseii iof fecS-
portation. IF even this small duty
was altogether taken of, it would tend
considerably more to attain the object
in view. In regard to coffee from for
eign countries, the news is explicit on
that point, and that it will bc admitted
with the two per cent. duty on its yalu-
alton Of eight cents per ID, to be charg-
ed one per cent for entry and one per
cent for outward duty, equal to six
teen cents ON ale hundred pounds.

Things Wanted.

No place on the whole continent,
offers ii better opening to enterprise,
than the city of Shreveport; here,
we could establish a tannerv, which
would then, naturally V he followed by
a shoe factory. \ soap factory, We
Judge, would be Il paying institution.
in our midst. \ candle factory
would prove remunerative to any in
dustrious individual. who would
make business OF it. In fact we
could en,merate hundred items OF
manufacture, which the consumption
and trade of our young city, could
just as well Justify the manufacture OF
ut home, as to send elsewhere to OBJ
tain them. We are positive that
there would be no difficulty found in
disposing of such requisites, and fur
ther, what an immense sight of benc-
fit it wonld be toward the prosperity
of Shreveport.
One of our citizens, we are told, is
SO strongly in favor of Il step of this
sort, that he offers several acres of
ground, gratis, to the individual who
will embark in such an enterprise.
We have 4 good foundry, and if we
mistake not, the proprietor. has had
no occasion to regret the effort made
by him. Let this be an e.rampie.
