Iron the Wheeling Intelltgencer, 23d
We ale indebted to our eyer attentive and
okliging ffiend and correspondent in Louis
vile, for supplies Of Southern papers. We
New Orleans papers.
Among the most welcome Of our daily news
paper visitors, formerly, were the Journals oI
New Orleans. They were the most able, wide
awake, and agreeable Of all the Southern pa
pers, and until the Southern Secession frenzy
became wide spread, were civil spoken and
friendly towards the North. Now they reach
US but rarely; and enly through the good Of.
fees Of the Express Company. They come to
US, too, boiling over with rage at the Federal
Government, and with sneers and abuse Of the
Union and the Constitution But they come
to rs, also, shorn Of their fair proportions, and
showing in every column how disastrous to
themselves, as well IS to New Orleans, Louisi-
ana and the Southern States generally this
secession business bas been. The once pleas.
ant and welcome 1scayuse, which used to is
sue frequent supplements OF four additional
pages, now comes reduced to half sheet,
while Its evening edition is quarter sheet,
coHtairiDg cnly two pages Of printed matter.
The Data is cut down in the same dep1orabla
way but It seems like just retribution that .
paper that has 90 long been famous for
esn violence Of every description, should
be made to suffer by secession. The
dtpreciation and decline Of the once
conservative and civil Picoyetne are more to be
iamented. But it Is moro as illustrations OF
the depression Of business generally than of
the newspaper business particularly, that re
look at these sh1unken New Orleans daily pa
| pers. Look under the head Of Commercial u

and there is nothing more to speak of undel
