The Latest .1elrS.

The Geographic dispatches Of the
week relating to the all-absorbing sub
iect of the Southern Confederacy rs
the United States Government, are such
a mass of tumble and contradiction, that
it is wholly unnecessary to give any
or a synopsis of any-except the very
latest. We proceed then to give the
substance of those Dispatches received
by the morning and evening Delta, by
the mail of yesterday.
The latest date from Washington, is
the goth, Montgomery the Goth, and
Charleston the 2lst.
The Southern Commissioners, it ap-
pears, expected no communication with
Lincoln or Seward forcight or ten days;
on the evening of the Goth, they were
a~nxiously awaiting news from Charles
ton, to see if Lincoln was acting in
good faith, in saying that Major Andcr-
sons command had been withdrawn
from Sumter.
Mr.. Bayard had introduced a resolu-
ton into the Senate to recognize the
independence of the Confederated
States. He said that the Administra-
ton must either make war on the South
or recognize its independence. 1t was
probable that an extra Session Of Con-
gress would be called. In Washington
$50 volunteers had offered their services
to the Confederate States.
A despatch says that Major Andcr.
sons command was to leave Sumter in
the Steamer Columbia to-day.
1t is reported that Mr.. Crittenden will
certainly be rendered the vacant seat on
the Supreme Bench.
Dispatches from New York, however,
of the 2lst, say that no order has been
sent for the evacuation Of Fort Sumter !
Dispatches from Anderson say hat he
has erected formidable sand batteries
in the rear and weakest point of Sum-
ter. This looks like evacuation !
The Secession ordinance in Arkansas
has been voted down, amidst great ex-
citement the people were to vote on
the first Monday in August for dele
gates to a Border State Convention.
The whole Democratic ticket had been
elected in New Jersey!
Lord Lyons, Minister from England,
expresses himself favorable to the South
ern Confcdcracy. He has sent a Mes
scnger home, detailing all our difficult
ties.
News from Mobile, say that a vessel
from that city carrying provisions to
the vessels off Pensacola harbor, had
been seized.
The latest despatch from Washington
says that it is supposed the Government
will hold all the Southern forts at pres
ent occupied by Federal troops, except
Fort Sumter. This despatch might be
read two ways.

Old Pictures into New.

II any of our friends have old pictures Of them
selves or family they desire to get renewed, aud mi
mature and faded portraits they would like to have
transformed into large and striking likenesses, they
have but to step mp into Bailey's Daguerrean and
Artistic Saloon, and they can have their wishes soon
the lineaments Of the "fsce divine" were scarcely
percepible, so much had il faded, but in a few mo-
ments Mr.. Bailey drew from it a large. clear and cor
rect representation. which was originally the portrait
OF a well known gentiomin Of our town, now de-

Correspondence of the Gazette & Sentinel.
New ORLEANS, March 10th, 1861.

New ORLEANS, MAI ch 10th, 1861.
Dear Sir:-By referring to the proceedings
of the Convention, you will perceive that it
has, this day, decided by a vote Of IS to 20,
not 10 submit the Constitution Of our South
ern Confederacy for ratification By the PEG.
ple-deeming itself the impersonation Of the
people, and deputed by them not only to take
the State out of the Union, but to provide for
its welfare and government, in common with
its confederate sister States.
The End Section OF the ordinance Of the
goth of January, 1861, after directing the ap.
pointment of Delegates to the Montgomery
Convention, ordains as follows-'That said
delegates be instructed to aid in forming s
Provisional Government, on the basis OF the
Constitution of the United States, for such
States as have seeded, or may secede; to be
established and put in operation before the
4th day Of March, 1861 ; and the said Con-
vention Of seeding States shall proceed, forth.
with, to consider and propose a Constitution
and plan for a permanent Government for
such States which proposed plan shall be
referred back to the several State Conventions,
for their adoption or rejection"
Pursuant to the requirements Of the fore.
going section, the Congress Of the Confeder-
ate States has considered and proposed q plan
for a permanent Government for such States;
the LIST section Of the 7th article of the Con-
%stitution Of which declares-"That the ratifi-
cation of the Convention of five States, shall
be sufi Gent for the establishment Of this
Constitution between the States so ratifying
the same"
The Constitution will come up for adoption,
day after tomorrow, and | am gratifed in the
conviction that it will be adopted by about
the sam vote as that upon the question Of
reference.
We will, probably, close our labors during
next week, and | hope soon to see our admir-
able Confederate Government in full and sue
cessful operation.
! Respectfully yours.

The Constitution.

AZ the Constitution OF the Southern Confrderacy
is nearly the same as that Of the United States, We
thought it would be more 10 the taste and interest of
our readers, in the present crowded state OF our col
umns with advertisements, by showing them where
or in What particulars the former differs from the Iat-
Ter, which has been read time and again by all who,
hitherto, took an interest in the affairs OF the old 60
yernment. We have therefore given, in another CO.
lumn, the Creseeaf's review Of the '~permanent con-
stirution Of the provisional government" showing
where il differs from he United States constitution
aud the advantages it possesses over the latter. Not
~iihs;anding the somewhat informal manner OF its
creation, this constitution Of our Coufederacy can.
not fail TO meet the appreciation Of every true State
Rights Democrat within its borders.

CasadaNanI, the Dentist.

This gentleman, of whom report speaks in such
fabulous style of his extraordinary success in New
Orleans, has removed TO the conmodious rooms, l07
Royal street, opposite the -. Louis hotal, which
ure fitted up in a style to challenge the admiration Of
a prince, in which to receive his French, English and
Spanish patrons. Certainly if one-half is true that
is reported of this gifted and enterprising Dentist,
his SUCCESS in New Orleans has been unparalleled
and never have we heard a whisper derogaIory to his
private character or professional skill. A significant
item is the fac, remember III that he pays more an
nually for advertising, we know, than many a news
piper in this State realizes.

The Legislature.

The constitutional limitation Of the session OF the
Legislature having expired last Thursday, the Go
vernon, we understand, has p~orogueJ it for two weeks
longer, that it may get through with the unfinished
public business before il. The bill giving the Police
Jury Of this parish the right TO drive piles across or
near the mouth Of Bayou Plaquemine, TO prevent
the drift from entering it, was defeated by the casting
-sote Of the Speaker.
Since the above wasin type we perceive no mention Of
the Legislature being prolonged, aud conclude that the
sboys Information was or ronsous. We see nothing Of
special interest in its. coneluding labors. We will soon
give a list Of lis acts.

Terrible Accident

On Tuesday evening dispatches
were received of a terrible accident
that occurred to an extra train
bound East from st. Louis, having
on board a portion of the Nine
teenth Illinois, Colonel Turchin.
The regiment was on two special
trains, the first detachment on ten
cars, and the second battalion on
eight cars. The first train crossed
bridge No. 48, three miles west of
Huron, where the accident occurred,
all right, and had arrived at Mitch
ell, when the second train came on
to the bridge and the bridge gave
way, precipitating six cars into
Beaver Creek, q depth of twenty
feet. Huron is 140 miles from
Cincinnati, and 81 miles from Sey-
mour.
The engine got over when the
six cars crushed through the
bridge, and were piled i'll a mass in
the creek. The two rear cars re-
NAMED on the track. The engin-
eer FASTENED to the nearest tele-
graph station and telegraphed the
accident, and stated that $50 of the
soldiers were killed and crippled.
One of the soldiers, after the &C.
cident, walked back to Shoals, and
telegraphed that about forty ofthe
soldiers were killed outright.
