Southern Society E~AdaREeIed by n Pastry

-SOHiheTn Society EhdanEeTed by a Pastry
Ia COak.
A pAstry-eook, belonging to the steamer
Louisville, as we learn from the New Orleans
Delta, was recently arrested in that city upon
3 charge of having INDUCED in a too free
expression Of his opinions, and taken before
the Mayor. Having been convicted, he was
placed where, according to the Delta, no
harm can come from his opinions, however
freely they may be expressed.
1t is probable that the tranquility of
Southern society was pretty seriously en-.
dsDgeTed by the free speech of the pastry
cook of the Louisville, and that his punish.
ishment was proportionately exemplary.
Whether he was sold into slavery, or sub
jscted to the milder punishment of hanging,
we are unable to gain from the enigmaticaI
; expressions employed to describe his destiny.
His fate will undoubtedly be a warning to
all incsndiary, free thinking pastry. cooks,
for all time to DIN
People will begin to doubt whether the
foundation of Southern society is quite as
impregnAble as is represented, when the
opinions of a pastry-cook are able to excite
fears of its durability. We here at the North
are sometimes represented as in a state Dor
deripg upon anarchy but we venture to
affirm that if all the pastry cooks that ever
sailed should come to Cincinnati, and here
express all the opinions that the moulders of
p'e-crust ever entertained, nobody would
even suppose that the peace of society would
be disturbed thereby, or that it would occur
TO officer or man to take any measure to put
apeliOd to their oratory.

The President's Profound RmOtIsn aud
Grief at Colonel RllswOrth's Death,

Grief at Colonel kllswOrth's Death,
A Washington correspondent writes ON
the oath inst. as follows:
l called at the White House this morning,
with Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,, to
see the President on a pressing matter of
public business, and as we entered the library
we remarked the President Standing before
a window looking out across the Potomac,
running at foot Of Presidential grounds. he
did not move till we approached very closely,
when he turned round abruptly and ad-
Yanced toward rs, extending his hand, Sex
cuse mt" he said, but l can not talk We
supposed hal his voice had probably given
way from some cause or other; and we were
just about to inquire, when, TO our surprise.
the President burst into tears, and concealed
his face in his handkerchief. He walked nm
and down the room for some moments, and
We stepped aside in silence, not a little
moved at such an unusual spectacle, ia such
. man, in such a place.
After composing himself somewhat the
President took his seat, and desired US TO ap-
proach. u will make no apology, gentle a..
men, " said the President, 'for my weakness ;
but / knew poor Ellsworth well, and held
him in great regard. Just Is you entered
the room, Captain Fox leh me, after giving
me the painful details Of EllsWorth's unfor-
tunate death. The event was 80 unexpected,
and the recital SO touching, that II quite I'M
manned me-" The President here made a
violent effort to restrain his emotions, and
after a pause he proceeded, with a tremulous
voice. to give us the incidents of the tragedy
that had occurred, "Poor fellow" repeated
the President, as he closed his relation, 1T
was undoubtedly an act Of Eashness, but il
only shows the heroic spirit that animates
our soldiers from high to low, in this
righteous cause Of ours.
Yet who can restrain their grief to see
them fall in such 6 way as this, not by the
fortunes of war, but By the hand Of an as.
ssssin2" Toward the close of his remarks
he added: There is one fact that has
reached me, which is a great consolation tc
my heart, mi quite a relief after this mel,
sncholy affair. / learn from several per
sons, that when the stars and stripes were
raised again in Alexandra, many Of the
people Of the town actually wept for Joy
and manifested the liYeliest Qualification q
seeing this familiar and loved emblem onct
more floating above them. This Is another
proof that. all the South is not secessionist
and ii Is my earnest hope that as We advanc,
We shall find as many friends as foes"

other evidence Of the netioiency Of the blockade,

other evidence Of the ine0aciency Of the BLOCKADE
and of the laxity of the naval commanders en-
trusted with that duty will also be found by an
account-in the correspondence referred to-of an
interview between the captain Of the British gun
boat Racer and Captain Mercer ofthe United states
steamer Wabash, otfChareston harbor. The Wabash
at the time was the only blockading vessel of that
port, and strange TO say the day after that inter-
view between the British and American captains,
the latter, Captain Mercer, Of the Wabash, left his
station and remained absent from it for fifty hours
during all which time the coast and harbor
were clear to privateers and to all who desired TO
take advantage of the chance thus presented.
Whether the act of Captain Mercer was in accord
ance with any understanding come to between
himself and the captain of the Racer, or in the pro-
per exercise of his duties, the blockade was Tor
fifty hours abandoned, and this fact must have
been known to the foreign Consuls at Charleston,
and we therefore cannot wonder at their COM
plants. Captain Mercer may be able to give
satisfactory solution Of his conduct after that in
terview, and no doubt will do so at the earliest
opportunity.

EMPLOYMENT For ALL-t is said there are
thirty thousand persons out of employment in
the city Of New York alone. This need not be.
There are 100000 men wanted for the war, and
$500 600, 900 voted for their support. There is a
salary of thirteen dollars per month and rations,
50 that there is no necessity for any one being
idle. Besides, measures are being taken to pro-
vide for the families of the New York Volun
,eers. Hence there is ample employment for
all the idle and every one of them has the
chance Of becoming Napoleon.

WysT PofNr OFFrCERs.-Wc learn that there
is scarcely single officer at the Military Aca-
DENY at West Point who has not expressed the
wish to be employed in active service during
the war which is in progress Their applica-
tons have been, however, either refused or
neglected. Why are they not relieved, and
efficient, gallant officers like sibley Waite and
others. who were compelled to give their pa
role in Texas not to serve against the rebel
States. stationed at the Point in their places?
And why is the recruiting service at Detroit
Buffalo. Cleveland, Cincinnati and elsewhere
con6ded to experienced military men, when
tyros from the Academy would perform this
duty quite as well?
