the North He says:
The real estate agents report greater demand for small
dwelling houses, with rents ranging from two hundred ana
fifty dollars to four hundred aud fifty dollars per

to reu to primitive style Of life and to study the
science of domestic atentVey than IL

happily it is no longer considered vulgar for to

The Charleston Mercury holds the following language
in respect to Texas and the Cont deracy:
Now that the enemy is struggling for the control Of
the Mississippi river the great Sae Of Texas may be-
for time at least, cut Of from communication with Der
sister States and forced to depend upon her own re-
sources IN men and material for her own defence But
there isprobaby State that can beer afford to
take care of herself She has a voting population OF
about IS 900, and fighting population of eas l0O
900. With Mexican, Indian, and coast frontier of
great extent to protect she has yet troops other than
her own sons, within her borders, though the gallant
Texans have shed usre upon the fame OF their State on
every bategeld of the We are informed Oh good
authority, that Texas has in the field fortyfour full
regiments of infantry cavalry, and artillery. OF these
seventeen are enlisted for rbe war; and ten more are
about to do likewise. These regiments, numbering il
the aggregate over forty thousand men, have all been
raised without draft With population so
hardy patriotic and brave with her teeming soil and
her bonnds resources in provisions Of every kind there
can be no doubt that Texas will give q good account
OF herself while the of the Coniederacy is struggling
IN the grip of the great Yankee anaconda.

that civilized people could have far forgotten their
dignity to have permitted themselves to have endan

thus wantonngy firing into city but the fact is patent
the deed was done. Y
Under the caption of Talk on Change" the Ores

There were no gathering on the flags of Carondelet

astonshed at the large numbers of and children
that promenaded the several Streets having their term

of business nature thought Of the chief attractions
was In and about the City Hall. The proceedings OF
the City Council will be found elsewhere A number
of the Federas proceeded up the river on Saturday
evening, but returned yesterday forenoon.
The flags of the different Consuates, the represen
tatives OF European Governments all displayed from
their respective ofices excepting in two or three in
stances. The Consulate of Bremen has no flag, and
two or three other nations have representatives here
Several private citizens, foreign subjects, have hoisted
their country's emblem over their residences.
The destruction OF property has been immense much
more 80 than necessary True all the Cotton ex-
pected to have been burnt but why the sugar and
asses Oh the evee was sacrificed In the manner it was

On Saturday, about noon, party OF men, who have
recently returned from Bcauregards army, went down
on the evee with band OF music and Confederate

among whom were great number Of women and ch-

which resulted in the death of innocent bystander
and the wounding Of two others. We do not commend
the acton Of the young men who provoked the unfor

the cruelty OF the parties who could level their guns
a crowd for the fault OF two or three.

Important Appointment.

Dispatches received from Washington
yesterday. announce that the appointment
Of Gen. Ethan A. Hitchcock, to be Major
General, was sent TO the Senate by the Pres
ideDt at the opening Of that body; that it
was referred TO the Military Committee, re-
ported back, and confirmed before the ad-
journment.
1t is said that the Cameronians, some Of
whom are yet TO be found around Washing
ton, made strenuous opposition to his ap-
pointment, but the country may rejoice that
it was unaEailiHg Gen. -Hiteheeck has.besn
trained to military life from his youth up,
and is, beyond all question. one of the most
accomplished and high-minded officers in the
country. We do not know that such is the
intention, but we are impressed with the
belief that he will at once be assigned to the
command of the army now operating on the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivera, and that
the best understanding will exist between
him and Major-General Buell. and Major
General Halieck. He will, Of course, be
subordinate to Gen. Haieck. but the desire
of each will be so ardent to bring the war to
Il speedy and successful conclusion, that their
whole efforts will ne directed to this object
alone. Next 10 the removal of Cameron,
and the selection of Stanton for Secretary
of War, we regard this as the most impor-
tant act of the President to give efficiency to
the service.
Gen Hitchcock is now in this city, and
We presume will be prepared to engage in
active duty whenever his commission Is 10
ceived. Louis Republican.
