The W1eeling Iatehigencsr has the following notioe
Of New. Orleans and its newspapers
Among the most welcome OF our oaily neWWsPaPer
visitors formerly, were the Journals OF Neworiesns
They were the most able wide-awake, and agreeaoie
Of all the Southern papers, and until tne oou.neIn o
cession frenzy became widespread, were civil spoken
and friendly toward the North. Now they reach us
but rarely and only through the good offices OF tho
Express Company. They come to us, TOO, boing over
with rage at the Federal Government and with sneers
and abuse the Union and Contribution But they come
to U.S. sso shorn of their fair proportions and snow
ing In every column how disastrous TO themselves a.
well as 10 NewOrleans, Louisiana, and the Southern
States generally this Secession business has been Ibs
once pleasant and welcome Picoyuns, which used to
issue frequent supplements OF four addi,ions! pages
now comes reduced TO asinge sheet, while ts Evening
Edition is quarter sheet containing only two pages
of printed matter. The Delta s cut down in the
deplorable way; but 1t .eem Ike just retribu-
tion that paper that has 10 long been IA
violence Of every description should be made to suffer
by Secession. The depreciation and decline Of the
conservative and civil Picayae are more to be
lmented. But IL is more as illustrations OF the de-
preston Of business generally than OF the newspaper
bu,iness particularly that look at these shrunken
New-0rleans daily papers. Look under the head oi
" Commercial" Of TIE PicoyuRe Of August |, and
the fret line we read is CottOn-Ihus far we have
not heard Of sale which shows lively state OF the
cotton market. There are some email operations in
sugar and moasses and some sales OF -four at from
81 25 70 50 rs per barrel which is just about double the
price IN Northern cties Hay was " selling In small
lots at 3 TO s35 per tun mess pork al va per bar
rel and there il nothing more to speak Of under The
ayunes commercial report of days transactions
in what Of the greatest commercial ci,ies OF
America. Under the head Of T" Marine News" we
have the somewhat pompols standing notice that MT
John s. Washington and assistants are the only
authorized Marine snd River News Reporters for
The P,cayune. Mr. Johu s. Woshington and assist
ants have rather cheerful aud exbiiaraing time Tor
their businese for the day was 10 report NO clear
auces" and the arrival OF four smsszed rver steam
ers The steamboat advertisements, that used 10
spread over several eolGmns now reduced to hve
small notices. Tie other advertisements are lew
10 number. Prof. A. II. Wilbur announces balloon
as, s,ension from Congo Square preparatory 70 his
departure for the seat OF war" There are ye or elk
military company meetings, and there Is the usual
amount Of deaths for the latter business u the only
at New Orleans d at docs not seem to be reduced
BY the war. Tho advertising columns Of Ihe Detd
There Is one whole column occupied by an old and
now evietn,ly obsolete recital Of the virtues OF
"sPaldiug's Cephelic Pills." and "sPaliipg' Glue
There are advertisements Of perishaole articles
for sale, that are dated nearly year ago, and
here are many others that are evidently
kept in type and put in from day to day, simply to
rave the expense Of composition. The entire contents
Of the copy of The Data before us consists Of seven
columns Of reading matter and FIVE OF such advertise
ments es We have described At the head CT the paper
appears the announcement, We have got no papers
a lively eondilon Of postGl affairs, and must be en-
couragibg TO editors and assistants. The editorials
consist Of Qualifications Manassas and abuse OF
"OId AbeH Tie news consists Of extracts from
private letters from VbGnia and from Richmond
papers ont OF date with few telegraph dispatches and
Clippings from old Northern papers, which have prob
ably been saved from tho ante b,lian times TO furnish
misce cellaneous copy" Altogether this examination
Of thsse sickly Eew0Ileans papers gives Que OF the
gloomies potures yet presented OF the present con-
dion of things in that once proud busy aud prosper
ou city.
