Mrs. j. G. Loudon, widow of the eel
cbratod landscape gardener, took a
great delight in protracting the favorite
studies Of her husbands life. On one
occasion, wishing to make some re-
searches in the department of orboricul-
ture, she wrote to the Duke of Yelling
ton for permission to see his Waterloo
beeches (the celebrated avenue planted
on his estate to commemorate his great
est yictory.) Mrs. Loudon's chirogra-
ply was none of the most legible-so
that when the Duke read her letter he
mistook Jcecdcs for Jreecbcs, and sup
posed the epistle q request for the in
spcction Of that indispensable garment
worn by him on the field Of Waterloo.
At the signature he was again deceived.
The in Mrs. Loudon's name he took
for an u, and accordingly read the
whole signature 81. Q. London" ," which

sensations at the North and South, which
only tended to infame the minds OF the
people, ard discussed the proposition that
the slavery question though enveloped IN
difficulties, could easily be settled if
gentemea would approach it in a FAIR

conclusion he eloqaengly appealed to the

The Mississippi River blockade.

The reported blockade Of the Mississippi
River, Is Of course, strongly condemned by all
parties II must produce considerable loss and
embarrassment T. stcamboatmcn and merchants
interested in the trade Of the Lower Mississippi.
Few people will be willing to risk their property
within the assumed jurisdiction Of Mississippi,
and it is likely, that Memphis, instead Of New
Orleans, will become the distributing point for
Western produce. These difficulties, which are
interrupting trade and increasing the hazards Of
commerce between the West and South, will
operate most severely upon the consumers OF Our
produce. The latter are already paying heavily
FOR the folly Of Mississippi. Mess pork is now
selling in New Orleans at $40 per barrel, while
the price here is ELL One half Of this difference
Is, in ordinary times, considered safe margin.
This Is the way the thing is working, and the
best way, perhaps, Is to permit the madmen to
continue in their wild course, until the heavy
burden Of taxes, ordinary and extraordinary, di-
rect and Indirect brings the people to consider,
with some degree Of calm lmness, their real inter-
est, and contrast the losses they suffering
with the imaginary grievances which their task
masters are holding up before them. We b.
liove the people will, in due time come 10 their
senses, and II is our impression that the shortest
cut to their sober Judgment is by way Of tho
pocket and stomach. GIN. Gdzete.
The Louisville Journal has the following;
As we learn fiom teegraphic dispatches, a
battery Of sixteen thrty.two Founders has been
planted upon the Memphis bluff, to bring boats
TO there as they arc brought to at Vicksburs
| This really seems almost incredible. 1t is hard
to bring ourselves to believe that the people Of
| Memphis, always deemed so loyal can tolerate
any such high-handed proceeding, such wrong
and insult to all the states that use the Missis-
| sippi river for purposes Of navigation. Much
as we dislike violence in all its forms, we should
| suppose that the Memphis population, in spite Of
| the Minute-hlen, or any other organization, Sc
cret or open, would rse up in their wrath and
| tumble the obstructing battery into the river
"Wc wonder whether batteries are to he plan
ted at all the ports Of all the states on tho lower
| Mississippi for overhauliny all descending boats
examining their Cargoes with an eye to seizure
and confscation, and enforcing the payment Of
wharfage. If 20, how long before the rivel
cities will either break dp the navigation tC
which they owe their existence and on whicl
they depend for its continuance, or else bria,
