RUINED PLANTATIONS IN LOUISIANA cor
respondent of the Boston Traveller, who accom-
panied flag of truce to rebel camp eighty
miles from New Orleans, a few weeks since, write:
as follows:
We passed large groves of oranges, ripe. anC
soon to decay for want of labor to pluck them
large plantations deserted. and the immense crop:
of sugar and corn destined to the same fate, and
for the same cause The scene was dismal il
the extreme. and should be witnessed by those
Northern men, who, Ignorant of wal and it,
ravages, complain of it so bitterly because they
called upon for increased taxes.
AT noon we stopped at the plantation of Mr.
Webb, and asked of the old black woman who
thrust her head out of window at our approach
for food for man and beast. She called a smal
boy who pointed out to us spot where our horses
might get mouthful, and then conducted US into
the house where a sumptuous repast awaited u:
of cracked corn and little molasses. Fortunate
ly our haversacks were better stocked, and afte
making the old woman's heart glad by presen
of"hour bread" we set out once more.

Night Dispatches.
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Postage stamped en-
velopes first introduced in tins country in the
year 1853. and although offered at the price FAT
below that of the ordinary enveloos of the trade
they do not as yet seem justly appreciated by the
public. There has been but slight variation in the
number of stamped envelopes issued annually. In
1854 il amounted to pol $50, in 1856, %, 757 ,
$50: in 1858, 80, 1874 ,275; in 1861. 900 ,253. the
latter being less than ID per cent. of the issue OF
separate postage stamps, which increased from ID
millions in 1913 to 2ll millions in 1861.
The greater cheapness of Government envelope.
as compared with those of the trade IS generally
overlooked, because the purchaser of the former
is required TO pay the additional charge of post
age. One hundred stamped envelopes are solo
for 50 10, while the same number of plain en-.
velopes of similar quality may be purchased fo
about 40 cents, but to this sum must be added 50
the value of the postage stamps which must b'
affixed to such envelopes before they can be use'
in the mails.

for the compliment in a few well chosen words.
He said that his profession gave few opportunities
to cultivate the art of the orator, but it did not
deprive him of feelings of gratitude. He should
ever feel grateful for this demonstration of re-
gard.
