YCtaL Sntslltetnts,


have an opportunity by Lieut.. Jno. Croly, of the
Continental Guards, company C, who will start on
Saturday morning next. Leave the letters at this
office by O'Clock P. N. day
PROVOST MARsHAL's OFFICE FIRST D1sTRrssT. -
Judge Spoford, of Mr.. Freret as Provost
Marshal of the First District, has changed the Ioca
ton of his office to the southeast corner of Caron-
delet and Common streets, as will be seen by
notice elsewhere. N -@ -4.
HE HE@IARIFF.-Our readers have probably been
better pleased at some of the markets this morn
ing than they were yesterday. Steps are to be
Immediately taken, it, indeed, they are not already
in operation, to enforce the regulations most
rlgidly. We have seen the placards, containing
the tariff of rates, which are to be posted in the
various markets, and have been informed tina. the
Commissaries are to be charged with the care of
seeing them faithfully observed. A law which is
left to the ton Of the people for its observance
Is law for those only who don't need laws.
REGIsTEREsG.-The prolongation of the time for
registering seems to have stopped almost too
effecually the eagerness that existed on the sub
ject. From various offices we hear complaints on
the subject and predictions that the last few days
Of the time will exhibit rush similar to that which
was witnessed at first. Col Ogden, the Provost
Marshal of the Fourth District, authorizes us to say
that every arrangement has been made to take the
registry of every resident Of that District without
any delay or inconvenience to them, at his office,
on Rousseau street, between Jackson and Philip
streets. He says that persons are coming forward
very slowly, and that those failing TO swear in time
will have no excuse. The time has certainly been
very literally extended-how can any one, when
it shall have EXPIRED ask for further extension {?
GOLD AND SrLvER.-We believe that all patriots
with rare exceptions, will hail with delight tic
order of the Board of Provost -Marshals as to the
selling of gold and silver, which will be found in
our columns this morning They prohibit all traffic
in gold and silver tending to depreciate the Con
federate currency, which is equivalent to placing
them all on par. We must all come to consider
Confederate money the came as gold in other
words, come to the firm conclusion we will stand or
fall with the Confederacy.
COMMITTEE OF SUBSISTENCE accordance with
the recent action of our Common Council, com.
, mttee of thirtythree gentlemen-three from each
ward-have been appointed to enroll the needy
families of volunteers gone to camp or to the wars.
These gentlemen will find their names in a list
published elsewhere, and appended to which they
will see call for a meeting to-day at G O'Clock
P. M.
PICKED Ur.-Mr. J. P Wright of Lockhart,
Texas, has been arrested for using very unpa-
triotic language on the Opelousas Railroad, while
coming to this city. He thought that it was no
use to make further resistance that we would do
better to give up, etc.
We understand that Wright claims to be a ma
tive of Texas, and that his father is planter and
slave-owner. But his sentiments, though they
may be honest, foreign to the feelings of the
Southern people, aud SO much calculated to do in
jury to what we consider most vital interests,
that the expression of them is little short of trea-
son. Potrooney may be carried so far as to be-
come criminal.
SERVED HIM RIGuT.-One H. Hhdebrand, keeper
of cofee-h house at the corner of Levee and
Hospital Streets being refractory to an admoni-
ton to extnguish his lights after o'clock P. M.
has been arrested and imprisoned by order OF
Provost. Marshal Dufour. He will liud others of
the same persuasion there to consult with, and it
is to be hoped that two heads better than
one they will get enough together there, after a
while, to be equal to one good one and then come
to the conclusion to obey the laws In the days
of General jackson, these men would not have
dared to do as they are doing now.
KILLEp.-A man named Vincent Dscovitch was
killed yesterday afternoon, about 44 o'clock, by
Mastco Iurchi, and his body laid out awaiting the
| Coroner, ut ZIG Vine street. 1t seems that he wa
stabbed in the body, three or four times, with {
long, keen bowieknitc. The knife was at the police
station red to the hilt.
Suor.-Between 10 and II A. NJ, yesterday, I
man, whose name have not yet ascertalned
was shot in the shoulder by one Antonio Lacaya
The wound is said to be bad one.
WoUNp1NG Maria Larkin and P. j. Stephens
have been arrested on Il charge OF j. Il. MeCor'
mick, that the y had wounded him with danger
GUS weapon.
SuE1I1NG OrF.-We were Informed yesterday
at one of the Provost Marshals Offices, that large
| numbers of tho Siclans and Italians are applying
| there for passes to Memphis. They are probably
| in strait to make a living, now that the supply
| of fruit from Havana is entirely cut off.
| LATE NORTHERN ITEMs.-The National Intel
ligencer of the 10th says:
