Vice Versa.

From the different accounts our
readers have read Of the doings in
New Orleans, they have doubtless
been lead to believe that the people
of New Orleans, voluntarily sub
scribed to the oath of allegiance to
the Lincoln government. 1t was 50
stated in the organs Of the North
that $4,000 Of the citizens Of that
city had taken the oath. This it
appears is false. and WE are pleased
that it lays in our power to give con-
tradiction to the same. A gentleman
of veracitv, who arrived from New
Orleans. at Alexandria. La. on thc
I'd inst. says that no: over twenty
five Of the respectful. citizens took
the oath.

.joururd from Altoona 10 Washington,
the Cincinnati Commercial SAYS:
The best thing the governors could
do would be to ge, home as quickly
as possible and devote Themselves to

is urgent work for all of;hem in their

however, that they will get intorma,
ton from General Hal!eck that will
do them good.
This is good advice. Gov. Morton
Of Indiana, it seems, did not attend,
he was too busy looking after the
