can teach us valuable lesson. As year af-
ter year it sends its rootlets down deeper into
the earth, laying broader and surer foun-
dation, that its ascending and widening
branches may successfully bear up against
the storms and tempests, so LET US lay deep
and broad foundation for our faith and our
hopes, that We may be enabled to withstand
the adversities that shall break in like wild
deluge upon us. As the dew.drop that spar
kle on It's leaves, must first 20 down to its

our deepest humlisrions. Above all, let it
remind US OF that Living Tree, undern cath

faithful TO ourselves, our country, and our
God. c.c.H.

cause my attention has been directed to a
resolution which was passed by the House of
Representatives on the thirteth of last month,
which is in these words
RESOLVED, Tha, Simon Cameron, late Sec-
retary OF War, by investing Alex. Cummings
with the control OF large sums of the public
money ana authority to purchase military
supplies without restrictions, without requir-
ing from him any guarantee for the faithful
performance of his duties when the services
Of competent public officers we're available,
and by involving the government in rash
number OF contracts with persons not legiti-
mately engaged in the business pertaining to
the subject matter of such contracts, rspe-
cially in the purchase of arms for future de-
livery, has adopted policy highly injurious
to the public service, and deserves the GEN.
sure Of the House.
Congress will see that should be wanting
especially 10 candor and in Justice il should
leave the oensure expressed in this resolution
to rest exclusively or chiefly upon MIR. Cam
eron. The same sentiment Is unanimously
entertained by the Heads Of the Departments
who participated in the proceedings which
the House OF Representatives has censured.
1t is due to Mr.. Cameron TO say that though
he fully approved the proceedings, they were
not moved nor suggested by himself, and that
not only tue President but all the other Heads
of Departments were at least equally respon-
Bile with him in whatever error, wrong or
fault was committed in the premises.

element in your midst, and | mean to use

skirts of Carrolton. ......
To this unmistakable language Mr..
Soule replied in an argument beautifully
rhetorical, but thoroughly unsound, asser-
ting that the proportion of the mob ele-
ment was less in New Orleans than in any
other place in the country-and that Gen.
Lovells proclamation Of martial law was
aimed, not at the rabble, but at the Union
sympathizers and traitors in their midst.
Gen. Butler then passed from the sub
ject of martial law to the condition of the
poor. Their situation is positively awful.
There is supply of provisions in the
city so last but five or six days, and the
poor people ar in actual danger Of ia.
mine. The General proposed to open the
river for some distance, and to allow ves-
sells to bring food to he city, reserving to
himself the right to determine who should
pass in and out of the city. The General
informed his guests that he had concluded
to allow the circulation of such confeder-
ate currency as was now in the possession
of the people, until further orders. He
was induced to do this simply out of con-
sideratioa for the poor, who have nothing
in the shape of money but these wretched
shinplasters.
All discussion being now at an end, the
Mayor announced his intention OF suspen-
ding the functions of the city government
but he was quickly rebuked by one of
the city Council, who suggested that such
action should not be taken until after the
subject had been discussed by the Board.
The suggestion was adopted-and after
the Council had promised to end a dele
CATION to Gen. Butler the next day to in
form him in regard to their decision on
his propositions, and cooperate with him
in some plan for the relief of the almost
starved poor population, the conference
was ended.
One of the Council then approached
Major Strong, Chief OF Staff, and assured
him with much earnestness and feeling,
that by unanimous vote the Council had
-Ajonted and disapproved the offensive
letter Of the Mavor, where he speaks uls-
respectfully of Gen. Butler and Commo-
dore Farragut,
The Mayor is evid entity very unpopu-
lar with his Council. The municipal
election occurs next month, and we have
strong hopes that, under the protection OF
United States bayonets, the Union people
will elect full Union ticket.
