Marine Disaster-tSupposed Loss Of
a VesseL and Crew.-We extract the
following from the Baltimore Sun of
the LIST j:
{ 1.-The friends in this city Of Captain
Robert Pescud, of the ship Cora, now
long overdue from Gibraltar to New
York, are painfully apprehensive of
his fate, together with that of his crew
and vessel. 1t will be recollected that
a vesse', supposed to be the Cora, was
burned on the track between the two
ports named some weeks since. On this
fact and the absence of all tidings of the
vessel, now ninety days out, the suppo-
sition Of his loss is based.

ridicules the idea of a union between
the British North American colonies
and the Northern States of the present
American Confederacy:
eff" says the editor. "there was
ever any desire on the part of these
colonies, and many years ago there may
have been, for annexation to the United

etfectually quashed it. What have we
to gain from annexation with the
Northern States, who have just sacri-

for our fish, and we may even supplant
the North in furnishing them with man

Mr.. Perret in behalf of the Com
mittee to whom was referred the open
ing Of Eleanor street, offered the fol-
lowing report.
The Committee appointed to examine
into the expediency of opening Eleanor
street from Levee street to Magazine;
report, that in their opinion there is no
actual use to open said street, as we
found enough crossroads leading to two
main streets new in good condition,
while even if the Police Jury were
to order the opening of Eleanor street,
there is in the middle of said street q
pool of water that would render said
street impracticable and force your
petitioners to use the same roads or
streets they are now using; except,
that we would go to the expense of
filing up said Pool. But considering
the present condition of the Treasury,
we recommend that the opening of
said street be delayed to some other
time, and said petition be laid on the
table indefinitely.

THE SOUTHERN CONGRESS.
Uun =, M, ltd 10

WAsHINGToN, March 7.-Dispatches
receivedhere from Montgomery, to- day,
assert that preparations for war are
there being made, and throughout the
South, on a large scale, and in the
expectation Of a serious contest.
The secret sessions of the Southern
Congress, they say, average ten hours
daily.
The same dispatches add that. in the
event of actual hostilities it is proposed
to increase the duties on exports till
they yield the sum of fifty millions
of dollars In the meantime, it is said
the duties on imports are to be reduced
to the lowest possible figures.
AS to the action of the new Admin
istration, it is regarded certain that the
reinforcement of Fort Sumter has been
determined upon.
In the meantime desperate struggle
is going on between the conservative
and radical wings of the Republican
party as to which shall control the
President, WELD the influence and
enjoy the honors and profits of the new
Administration. There has never been
known to be such fight for Office
before.

Proceedings of the Federal Congress.
WASHINGTON, March Z. = In the
Senate, Mr.. Wigfall, in answering Mr..

like. He said the seeded States would
not como back under any circum-

to withdraw the troops in the seeded
States, not to attempt to collect tribute,
and make treaty. By so doing
said he, '..you will have peace, but act
otherwise you will have war;
Senator Douglas, i'll replying, feared
Forts Sumter and Pickens could not be
held much longer by the Federal troops.

The Southern Tariff: 49, T.

The Southern Tariff. The
following, from the Nicksburg Wing,
in regard to the duty imposed upon
printing paper, etc, should attract
the notice of all engaged in the pub
fishing business in the South The
duty should be placed upon nows-
papers, books, and all printed matter
coming into the Confoderacy. That
would encourage homo manufacture
so much needed in our comm onwealth
"!Soutbcrn and Northern Newspapers.
Under the tariff law of the Confederate
States the duty on printing paper is
twenty-four per cent. This adds an
important item to the expense of news
paper establishments in the south, and is
another gross discrimination against
southern papers and in favor of north
ern sheets. This is true, because
northern papers, circulating among us,
arc published where labor is cheaper,
and where they are exempted from this
duty. 1t would be perfectly right and
just for the southern Congress to remove
his tax on paper for the present, as
there are no paper mills in the Coufed-
crate States; and they should also i'm
pose tax of one or two cents ON north
ern papers, for the encouragement of
southern literature"

MOORE, Governor of this State, and
Notice Of Election over the signature
of GUY DREUx, Sheriff of this parish,
that an election will be beld ON the LIST
Monday in April, 1861, for a Judge of
the District composed of the parishes of
Jefe rson, Plaquemine, and st. Ber-
nard; which parishes now comprise the
Second Judi ciaI District.
The citizens of this parish, whilst
attached TO the Third Judicial District
were, by large majority, in favor of the
Judge who has so honorably filed that
position for the last two terms; and we
have little hesitation in asserting, that
large majority would now sanction his
election to the same honorable position
in the Second, should he consent to ac-
cept the Ofies.-Time will tell.

- The general topic of converse
ton in this city, since the 'address"
delivered in Washington on the 4th
instant, by the President elect ar
rived here,-has been upon the merits
of that document,--as peace or ,Car
document. The latter opinion, in which
we fully coincide, hasa decided majo-
rity in this community.
Lincoln's address, notwithstanding
all the ambiguous and snake-trail SEN
fences it contains, and his assertion
that no blood need be shed to pre-
serve the old Union of the States,
falls to the ground, when he asserts
that he will occupy the forts and col
lect the Federal revenues within the
Seeded States.
With large majority of the readers
of the address in the South, we hold
that it is declaration of war on the
part of Abraham Lincoln, acting in the
capacity of President of a portion
only of the former United States, upon
those sovereign States which have
thrown off all allegiance to the Federal
compact.
By telegraph of the 9Th, it is stated,
that Mr.. Lincoln said in reply to q
Southern gentlemen, that " the iTlau-
gural meant peace" Is it true We
cannot so understand it.
