That a letter Of Commander Williams, dated

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY
NEW ORLEANS FOR IMMEDIATE SECESSION!

The election in this city yesterday for Delegates
to the State Convention, was one of the fairest
and most quiet and orderly ever held in this city.
Nothing worthy the name of difficulty occurred at
any of the polls, that we heard of. At most OF the
polls there were no crowds or any sign of excite
ment. The voters came up, voted; and went away
to attend to their other business.
The result of the election is most gratifying to
all true friends of the South, and it will send a
thrill of joy throughout the South. The Coopera-
ton party here has caused the South to look upon
New Orleans with doubt, and this doubt was very
reasonable, considering the cosmopolitan character
of the city, and the fact that the Cooperation, or
United Southern Action party, was headed, and
talked to, and led, by such men as Randell Hunt,
Pierre SoulG, and Thomas J. Durant, lawyers and
orators of renown, and for years among the fore
most men of Louisiana. The defeat of party
with such men as these at its head, gives signal
proof of the strength with which Southern feeling
has twined itself about the patriotic hearts of the
men of the South, in the present trying national
emergency.
The entire Secession Senatorial ticket for the
Convention was elected, and fifteen out OF the
twenty Secession Representative candidates were
elected.
The result will be definitely understood from the
following figures, correctly taken from the tally
lists as read out at the SherTs office last evening.
The names of the Secession candidates are marked
with a star. ~

To-day is the anniversary of the 8th of January,
1916. It is legalized holiday, and will be OBJ
served as SUCH There will, in all probability, be
some business transacted on the flags, and it is
probable the military will turn out in more force
than usual.
The mails continue very irregular, but the Post
Office Department Chat was) at Washington can
not control snow storms. II is useless to COM
plain We observe that Postmaster Riddell has in
troduced some new regulations making additional
charges for rent of boxes when more than one firm
or one party has letters deposited or placed in
boxes. However, we have to allude to the exac.
ton of years rent in advance, when it is palpa-
bic tile present Postofee will cease to exist after
the 4th of March, If, however, DR.. Rddell will as
sumo the transmission Of mails, far and near, on
his own account and responsibility, the public will
have no objection to paying the box-rent as here
tofore, in advance. 1t will be matter of great
difficulty to recover back anything from Washing
ION City after the 4th March, 1861. The people
talk that they are willing to pay TIVE months in adj
vance. However, TIE bills for the entire year have
not vet been presented

A GOOD STORY OF GARIBALDI,--lt is Ieated that
Admiral rAine, of the French squa1ron--a most
chivarous officer and honest man--could scarcely
await Garibadis return to Monteviedo, after the
encounter the plains of San Antonio, to congrat-
ulate him on the splendor of the achievement. He
first wrote letter OVERLOOKING with expressions of
his admiration at the skill, bravery, heroism and
devotion displayed by the leader and his men.
After the chiefs return he fastened to call upon
him. The story is thus related: Pulling ashore
from his frigate rAfrcane, he bent his steps, alone
in the direction of Garibaldi's little house-a poor
tenement, through which the winds of the sea and
pampas freely played. The miserable door did not
even serve the purpose of keeping out the rain.
Arriving at the halfopen door, the Admiral passed
into the outer room. All being in darkness, he
stumbled over chair. ' Halo the house! !" he
cried. " Must man break his neck to see you
Q, GaribaldiW "Wife, wife! lght!n cried the
General, recognizing the voice OF the Admiral
"a light u replied the startled Anita q what shall
I light, my door? DON'T you remember there is
not money enough in the house to buy eandle@ @'
"Ay, ay !" laughed the husband, as he opened the
inner door to show the Admiral the way to the
family hearth. 'This way, Admiral, if you please,
be careful of your shins. There, on your left, is
my Anita against the wall my children are sleep
ing on this side is a chair; now be seated" The
Admiral laughed heartily at this blind reception.
"Admiral,n continued Garibaldi, " when agreed
with Government for rat0ns, neglected to specify
candles SO, as Government has paid me no money,
I have no candles"

The PRESIDENT AND SOUTH CARoLINAs-A special
dispatch to the Pennsylvania, an Administration
journal published in Philadelphia, speaking of the
President and the South Carolina Commissioners,
says:
On Monday, after 8 o'clock, the reply was ad-
dressed to the Hons Barnwel, Orr and Adams,
and delivered by the Presidents Secretary. On its
reception, great modification evinced at the
non-recognition of the title of Commissioners, by
which they had designated themselves.
The President approved the conduct of Major
Anderson on the ground that he had tangible evi-
dence of the intention on the part of the South
Carolinians to seize and occupy Fort Sumter. Sub
sequent disclosures have satisfied those well in
formed that such was the intention. Once in
occupancy of Sumter, Major Anderson would have
been powerless and at the mercy of the Carolin
ans. No reinforcement of Fort Moultrie could
have been made effectal for the recovery of Fort
Sumter
Major Anderson, being in command, took a mill
| tary view, and anticipated the South Carolinian:
by proceeding to the stronghold they coveted undel
the cover of the night. Upon these considerations
the President also refused to interfere for the with
| drawal of the United States forces. saying, t Th
cannot do, and will not do" He also announced
his firm determination to collect the revenues ant
that the property now in the occupancy of thu
troops of South Carolina must be restored. The
| seizure of the United States arsenal he deems
| high-handed outrage.
