OPINION IN New OnLEANs.-A letter from
New Orleans to the Boston Traveller, SAYS
The reactionary movement in favor OF
the Union goes on undated here. Even
King John Slidell is said to have fallen into
the ranks of the Unionists. The hoary-
headed traitor, discarded by his former
companions in treason, would gladly work
to restore peace to the South if lie were
certain of being returned to Washington
in the capacity of one of Lousiana's Sena-
tors. In Sugardom, much uneasiness pre-
walls in the minds of the planters as to the
future policy of Mr.. Lincoln with regard to
the present tariff on sugars. No one will
deay that as long as she remained in the
Union, Lousiana-thatis, the southern por-
ton of the State-derived large benefits
from the policy pursued BY the United
States Government toward her.

THE New York World indulges III some
retrospective remarks which are by no means
inappropriate.
Will not the new Administration, III ma
king its diplomatic appointments, have some
regards to moral respcctability Our
country, during these latter years, have been
sufficiently disgraced for the lack of this,
and foreign nations sufficiently insulted.-
There is hardly court in Europe which
has not had some specimen of the American
character in its worst form-a sot, or rake,
or swindler. We sent TO st. Petersburg an
Alabamian who was so helplessly drunk
during the six months he remained there,
be was never presented to the Emperor at
all, and his Secretary of Legation had to
explain by assigning the true reason. We
sent to Berlin an Indianian who was often
so disorderly from the deiirium trcrneno at
the Hotel Stadt Petersburg (Unter der Lin
den) that its proprietorsj to save him from
the police, had to send for his Secretary to
bear him away to his own house. We sent
to Stockholm person who turned his po-
sition to account by becoming smugger
We have sent to Copenhagen at least three
precious spccimens-one debauche of the
very lowest grade the other two, notorious
drurkards. We sent to the Hague a man
who maintained the dignity of the Court by
living over blacksmith's shop, and whose
habits and associations were in Keeping
We sent to Madrid man who made himself
ridiculous by his Quixotic duels. We have
sent to Turin two who died of delirium tre
mems, and another so shameless that he in
sisted upon taking his mistress to the
Kings palace on a great occasion, in spite
of the remoustrances of the officer of the
household-the result being that the noto-
rious woman was obliged to leave the com
pany by order of the King himself We
sent to Rome person who was hard
drinker, and whose notorious and shocking
profgacy was an utter abomination to ey
erv decent Italian. We sent to Constanti
nople man who gave the abstemions Mo-
hammedans their first idea of an American
drunkard.- Union 81. Louis Cor.

Observation-Disclosures

Oh could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasure might 90 round
Without the village tattling;
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
free from the bitter misery
OF gossip's endless prattling.
II such a spot were really known.
Dame Peace might cIaim il as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne
Forever and forever.
There like a queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
It's miSchief-makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth Of love,
And lead us all 10 disapprove
What gives another pleasure,
They seem 10 take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them again,
Mixed with poisonous measure.
And then they've such a cunning way
vi telllng ll-meant taIes they say
"Don,t mention what | say, | pray,
would not tell another -
Straight TO your neighbours house they 20,
Narrating every thing they know,
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
Oh, that the misunderstanding crew
Were all reduced to one or tive,
And they Were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them;
Then would one village sure forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet.
With things SO much below them.
For its a sad, degraded part,
To make another bosom smart,
And plant a dagger in the heart
We ought 10 love and cherish;
Then let us ever more be Iound
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, joy and peace abound,
And angry feelings perish.
