The Feeling in New Orleans.

The Crescent, in speaking Of the manner
in which the Act of Secession was received
in New Orleans says:
The news of the secession was re.
ccived in this city with a perfect furore
of enthusiasm. Guns Numbered forth
from the foot of Canal street, flags were
flung to the breeze in every quarter,
and at night many houses, public and
private, were brilliantly illuminated
Every n seemed to breathe more free
ly, every ones heart beat with a more
rapid and pleasurable pulsation, and the
determination was everywhere evinccd
to defend the sovereignty of Louisiana,
come what might, and in the face of
every obstacle.
If there remained any doubt of the
disruption and disintegration of the I'm
ion, the secession of Louisiana has set
tied the question. The State which
holds the mouth of the great finland
sea" of the North American continent
the State which contains within its lin
its the leading commercial city of the
Southwest-the State which exports
the great bulk of the king of commerce,
has given the finishing blow to the I'm
ion, and it is now a thing of the past
1t remains only for the compromisers of
Congress to abandon their fruitless eff
forts of adjustment, and for the States
of the South to seek, in a Southern Con.

Independent louisiana.

The act is accomplished! The Nnk that
has 20 long bound us to the stripes and stars"
has been severed-and in the future, and for.
ever more, the destiny Of Louisiana is in her
own hands. The AdrOcate thus speaks Of the
solemn and important act:
The proceedings of the State Conven-
ton on Saturday the Goth January mark
an era in the history of the Common
wealth Of Louisiana. On that day the
representatives of the sovereignty OF
the State, ten minutes before the hour
of 2 o'clock, P. NJ, declared and ordained
the separation of. Louisiana from the
Government entitled the Omitted States
of America" During the vote on the
Ordinance the most solemn and profound
interest and attention was impressed
upon the members and the large n
course of spectators assembled to wit
ness the ceremony. As each of those
elected on the Cooperation ticket rose
in their seats and feelingly gave in their
adhesion to the will of the majority,
nothing could restrain the out-busts of
applause from the audience.
When the last vote was recorded
when the name of York of Concordia was
called-the crowd began to move and
whisper, and when the result was an
nounced that only Screateea out of one
hundred and thirty members had re-
sponded in the negative, there was such
a shout as never before went up from
the floor of the Old Gothic Building.
At this moment Capt. Ii. w. Allen,
walking in front of Gov. Moore, Col.
Bragg, Rev. Mr.. Linfield, Father Hubert
and other distinguished gentlemen,
came down the central aisle bearing the
glorious Pelican Flag--the emblem of
Independent Louisiana--which was re-
ceived with waving of handkerchiefs
by the daughters of Louisiana and per-
feet hurricanes of applause from her
gallant son there assembled.
An impressive prayer for the future
prosperity and glory of the State having
been delivered by Mr.. Linfeld, Father
Hubert then, in an eloquent but brief
address, d dictated the Flag and invoked
the peoples of the State to its defense
The event was a solemn one; many an
eye was dimmed with tears as they bid
the long farewell to the glorious old
Union which had oncc fostered and pro.
tected us, but which had finally passed
into the hands of those who are sworn to
Cypress and crush us.

them made up in one pound bags, for cannon
