It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only intelligible and reliable history of current events, and as such in addition to their well established literary scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading pub lie.

These notes will be redeemed bv as. soclatl0ns and institutions to which thev may he ~dellyered for issue, and the security of redemp tion will be realized by pledge of United States stocks and an adequate provision of specie.

TIE FIREMEH WANT GcNs.-We have already
given accounts Of the manner in which our brave
and chiValrous fire companies have offered to Or
ganze as soldiers, for the protection Of the city
from Northern as well as native fire. On Monday
evening, the Board of Delegates Of the Firemens $
Charitable Association adopted the following re-
solution:
Eesolged, That the President of this Association
IS hereby authorized and requested to tender to the
GoVcrnor Of the State of Louisiana the services of
the Firemcn of New Orleans for the protection of
the city, and to demand that arms be furnished
them for that purpose.
This resolution was presented to the Governor
and his military aids and counselors. The answer
was returned last evening. AS we understand, the
answer was unfayorabe TO the fremen-thcre
being certain military regulations in the way, and,
though all possible disposition was felt to arm the
iiremcn, it was believed that their vocation as fire.
men required their constant presence in the city,
and that they could not be called on to use guns
only npon some sudden and extraordinary emer-
gcncy.

yot last night acquainted with the important fact
thatthe Government of the Confederate States had
dispatched for 3000mo men from Lousiana-3O0O
infantry, exclusive Of the men Louisiana has sent
and is now sending. This fact, and the appropria-
ton Of 5000 600 by the lower branch of the Com
mon Council last night, for city defence, combine
to give the war business a very busincss-like as

possible for US to keep the run CT the companies

manner in which the combinations are pre-
pairing to "diSpcrsc,' almost overwhelms the
Crescent reporter who never before saw such
things.
To ALL MILITARY MES.-Please look over the
advertised notices in our military column. Every
soldier, and every man who expects to become a
soldier, is interested in paying attention to the
advertised morning calls of the company officers.

and had solicited his father to furnish him with a
considerable amount Of money for the purpose of
purchasing some stock, and on being refused by
his father, attempted to kill him. He prevent

he armed himself with double -barrpled shot gun,
and fired upon several members of the family, and
would have doubtless killed several Of them hut

peradO was finally shot from his horse and can

Tray and strange to say it is thought that lie may
recover.
