They were ali registered enemies, but got enough
Of Secession and came back ready TO take the oath
Of alleniance which every one of them did.
Every one of them was suffering from actual hun
ger aud the children were crying for food
Two Confederate officers, one a MAJOR ana tbe

An important meeting was held in New-Orleans
On the 2Sth TO initiate measures for the reoganHa-
ton of the State Government OF Louisiana, Judge
Uics,and, presiding. Among the speakers were
Judge Ii, 4. Warren, esq, Mr.. lhos- D. Duranl, |
and VIM. Jones. Mr.. Durant proposed the fol-
Re,ped That the President OF this meeting bppont cOu
t,ee Of three to prepare plan for calling Convention Of
Saturday evening next ,
He sad his plan was that this association should
call upon all the citizens of Louisiana 10 assemble IN
their parishes or places of voting and eject delegates
10 Convention, 70 be held ~ THIS city, which Con-
Vention would frame Constitution for State
Government lay it before the United States authori-
fles and ask it's recognition. There Is no doubt That
Il would be granted. In every instance where such
9 course has been pursued, it has met the spproba-
sion Of the Government, as III the case OF western
Virginia. which did not have anything Ike the pop
uaiion that would be represented by the State OF
louisiana under the proposed plan.
Louisiana would thus be wheeled into kne, and
would become again in reality State OF the Union,
enjoying all the rights and privileges OF SUCH Mr.
D. desired it be distinctly understood that these
were his own ideae, and that he bad now made
them public for the FIRST time, and that they were
not prompted by any military or other authority
nor were they brought forward from any feelings OF
opposition to the military authorities OF the state
Tor whom no one bad higher respect than himself;
but the necessities Of the people demanded the
adoption Of plan Of this character.
He wished IL 20 DO purely civil movement, and
that it sboud spring from the Spontaneous action Of
q roople desrous of tesiifynB their devotion 10 the
Union. lie wOnd like 10 zee every psIihh IN the
State represented 10 the Convention-and every
parish with ten loyal men to be found III At would

have saved Sodom aud Gomorrab, surely ten loyal
men should save b parish. They would actually be
She only citizens Of the parish-for the res beng
traitors had forfeited all their nights of cliaenthip
Of property, and even OF life.
lie desired the stigma " bicb had been cast upon
che Union men, and which bad received seme color
Of truth by their long delay to act in this matter
that they were Union men merely to save their
DrOperty FROM eopiecaion, and their hearts did mol
furnish the language Of their toDgues-IeLnOycd.
The city was dsenthralled from the Rebellion, and
never could be dragged ont Of the Union again. aud
Al was the duty oil every man TO Tenounce all idea oil
the re-establishmeDt OF any other power than that
OF the United States in New-Orleans, and act ac-
eordiDgly.
All should become confirmed In their faith in the
uerpetity Of the Union, and perform their duty az
citizens OF the United States aud OF Louisiana. lie
boped the resolution would be adopted, and the
proposition generally canvsssed and that all would
work for the accomplishment Of its objects.
The remarks Of Mr.. Durant were well received,
and, frog the general applause which followed, his
views seemed to meet the appreciation OF the meet
inQa fact that was fully established when the vote
