The New Orleans Elections.

Tho citizens of New Orleans had. on
the 3D. instant, the first quiet election
they have known for many years. GEN.
eral Butler, among his first acts, put
down the"Thugs" who had so long ruled
the CrescentCity and made the independ-
ent exercise of the right of suffrage dam
gerous He has constantly pursued these
"rowdies," thieves and assassians, who
too long made Ney Orleans unsafe, and
has made the city TOO het for them One
consequence is a quiet and orderly cleo
ton. rl
A second consequence is the choice of
honest and loyal men for Congressman
There was no lack of candidates, and
among them was no less parsonage
than the notorious Jacob Barker who, it
seems, confidently expected TO be elect
ed But the voters of New Orleans did
themselves the honor of disappointing this
SPECTATOR.
BeDjamip e. Flanders, who is chosen
TO represent the First Congressional Dis
trict of Louisiana, has been resident of
New Orleans for thirty years, though of
Northern birth, and had long been trea-
surer of the Opelousas Railroad Company.
He has all his interests in Louisiana, was
married there, and has raised large
family in the city. He has been, If the
rebels and Thugs may be believed, a
staunch and incorporating Union man,
during the time they were in possession
of the city,. He was charged, last De-
cember, wih being the leader of secret
Union organization; wasimprisoned, OBJ
tanned bis release, but was constantly
watched by rebel spies; and at last, in
February, was sent summariIy out of the
state, by the rebels, who pronounced him
too dangerous a man TO be permitted to
remain. Mr.. Flanders made his way up
the Mississippi 10 the loyal states and
was able to give the government valuable
information on the condition and delences
of New Orleans. He was forced away so
suddenly, that he had TO leave his wife
(then near her confinement and children
at the mercy Of the rebels. OF course,
when the recapture of New Orleans took
place he made haste TO return, and was
shortly after appointed Treasurer of the
city. He is esteemed by the loyal citi-
zens of the community from which he is
now sent to Congress, as a man of honor
and capacity, and an uncompromising
Union man of the school of Colonel Ham
ilton, of Texas.
The Second Louisiana District has
chosen for Congressman, Mr. Michael
Hahn, gentleman of German birth, who
has lived in Louisiana since his boyhoOd.
New Orleans has large German popula-
ton, which was, almost to a man, loyal,
at the beginning Of the rebellion; and had
always, in local politics, been opposed TO
the "Thugs" and rascals. Mr. Hahn is
a lawyer, aud, according 70 the Delta,
"was a staunch Unionist through the
darkest hours of secession Madness
We congratulate the people Of New
Orleans on their success in choosing hon.
est and loyal men 10 represent them in
Congress. We trust they will confide
the management of their local affairs TO
citizens Of like character-M l. EVe-

The New York Journal Of Consnserc'
has increased iis advertising prices, Of
rather ils charge 70 yearly Advertisers
will not include the subscription 10 ths
paper. II is the largest newspaper in the
United States, and Of course feels tbs
increased cost Of publication. II says
the year drawing TO close has been very
trying tonewspaper proprietors, although
fewer presses have been suspended than
j: &c year next previous. When the wan
broke Out, some thoughiIess persons re-
marked that IL would be "a fortune tc
the newepapers;'' but the result has
shown that il has required greater sacri-
ices OF them, without compensation, than
Of any other important interest lt has
increased the aggregate circulation Of the
moss enierprising journals; butte q ma
Jority OF these, such increase has brought
no corresponding profit. Most of the
leading papers depend upon advertising
patronage for their chief gain; but bust
ness of all kinds has been Sc interrupted
that there has not been sufficient competi-
ton in trade to induce these appeals 70 the
public. The result 70 many papers, which
make no profit from subscribers has been
a net loss from increased circulation, with
no opportunity to assess such loss upon
The patrons of their advertising columns.
To add to this difficulty, the cost OF publ
cation has been enormously increased
The tax Of 3 per cent on advertisements is
triile, compared with the immense out
lay for telegraphic news, which has been
caused by the war. But these increased
expenses are now thrown in the shade b.
the extraordinary advance in the cost of
paper ink, and other materials, TO which
must soon be added an increased rate of
wages. If the present furry. in the
paper market were TO be takeHAeAn in
dex of the future, we conld safely assert
that newspapers printed-on fair white
sheet would soon be luxury too expen-
sive for ordinary readers. But we do not
look for a continuation Of these extreme
high prices. The great advance in foreign
exchange, and the lessened demand for
raw material owing TO the stoppage of
many paper mills, partially cut off the
importation of rags, and thus caused o
rapid rise in prices. Rags have been
very scarce at home, toe, the difference
between muslin shifting at six pence per
yard, which was the old price, and two
shillings, which is now asked, having
much TO do with the deficiency. latter
ed fabrics in condition that wOuldbaye
consigned them to the g-bag two years
ago are carefully repaired now that it
costs so much TO replace them. The
supply, however, is only checked, not cut
off, and the price will call out all the
available surplus. Paper must therefore
recede again from the highest point, and
in this there is hope for the reading pub
lie. Still, it is evident that for some
years to come the cost of newspaper
must greatly exceed the average Of the
past, and proprietors must7 take some
steps to enhance their reeeipts.---.Louis-
Vile Journal.

The CONTEXT. wac orIsl ..

II is useless 10 attempt to disguise The
terrible contest now raging in this coun-
try 1t becomes the duty Of every pa
triot 10 set before bis country the great
question that the hand Of history is
carving in the underlying monuments Of
time. The vast concourse Of armies with
their almost infinite details IS but the
organ for the uttering Of one sentiment.
That sentiment must be truly sublime in
morals. How should so much grandeur
be used TO utter common truth. The
word spoken by the armies now in the
field will have new import, II may
take years TO accomplish The result
Great thoughts grow slowly and are born
in terrible agony. In the beginning we
thought we loved freedom. We had but
a faint idea of the import of the term.
We loved hutlitile the principle,or II was
independence Of restraint that was mis-
taken for freedom. We loved the material
not the spiritual We bad no true concep-
tion Of ouripersonal dignity or we as a ma
tion would have been true TO it. The prin-
ciple must be maintained and incorpo-
rated into the government and made
principle of our National life. The
want of a high culture has prevented the
contest from assuming its real form. On
Che one side base malerialism guides
and infuses vengeance. The other is
TOO elevated for this, but has not arisen
TO the dignity of sentiment for its
leading force. Itlingers in the meshes of
a dangerous conservatism, from which
&c can be effectually extricaied by the
adoption of sentiment that will impart
enthusiasm to the forces that are evident
ly battling for freedom, law, nationality
and progress. From this fearful contest
we shall see the hopes Of the loyal realiz-
ed, only by the influence of lofty seati-
ment that will carry the arms of the
Government in triumph over all opposi-
Rion.
That crisis is arising. An earnestness
is beginning TO infuse itself into all the
departments of the army We have rea-
son to hope for this. II, on the contrary,
Che spirit of speculation and gain should
have infused itself into the Government
to such an extent that we cannot rise
above it, our hopes for nationality, free
dom and liberty are gone forever. We
shall be shattered into fragments, and
our memory as a people blOtted out for
ever

q dispatch dated Nashville, Tenn, Dec.
nth, which says: "Whaton's rebel bril-
gade had skirmish with the Federals

The author Of the above should not

persons believe such fabricatiOns when
they see them in public journals. No

extending and Strengthening his works,
and our army was taking care of It's
wounded and burying such Of its dead

reinforced during the day by Gen. Sigel's

reasons for delaying another attack upon
the enemy's lines.

about eight o'clock, the rebel cavalry
under White, about 395 strong, made q
raid into PoolsviIle, Md. They found

No difficulty ensued in any case, but
all was as harmonious as could be wished.
Several times the officers and traders on
the Gladiator dined at the houses along

residences of rebel officers, who were
