From New Orleans Arrest OF Prominent
Citizens-Passage Of q Steamer through
the Vicksburg Canal.

New YORK, Feb. IA.
The steamer Empire City, Capt. Baxter,
with intelligence from New Orleans to the
4th inst, arrived here at 10 o'clock this eve
ming.
The forces of Gen. Banks, after a months
drilling, were in condition to take the field
and il was thought that forward movement
would be made at once to clear the rebels out
of Lafourche county,
On the night of the 30ht ult. a fishing smack,
containing three Jews, was seized on the lake.
1t was bound TO Ponchatoula, and had on board
large quantity OF medicines for the rebels,
also letters from forty or fifty leading citizens
IN New Orleans TO persons high in authority
in the Confederate Government The Jews
were tried on the lst., before Judge Peabody.
but the sentence was withheld until the parties
who had written the letters had been arrested
which Gen. Banks had ordered to be done at
once.
The weather was very cold in New Orleans.

Inc jews in New Orleans, and indeed in all

Of allegiance, Gen. Banks would not allow

Mans Life and Its Duties.

MAN has a great amount Of work
to do in very short time-but he is
not conscious of the shortness of life,
and the vast concerns which pertain
thereto.
If he be diligent and improve the
time faithfully which God has given
him to fulfill his mission, he has
enough, but not any to spare. No
less place has God given to man
to move in, and to sustain his nature
while here, than the whole earth, and
has prepared heaven for him in the
future-but 0! how many are un-
happy, (when they might be happy
being discontented with the provi-
dence of their Maker the reason is,
they are not acquainted with God,
nor his will concerning them. Many
pass few feeting years in toll and
care without enjoying God here, or
having prospect Of enjoying him
hereafter. Numerous privileges are
put within their reach, but they are
disregarded, till death comes-others
have not the opportunity to hear the
blessed word, and many who do here,
will not understand, but it is thrill
ing thought, that God keeps a strict
account of all the deeds, thoughts
and actions of all the millions that
have lived, that do live, or will live;
SO that nothing will be wanting in the
day of reckoning. Men forget this
too often when they are doing wick
edly-if they would but continually
remember, "Thou God seest me-"
and act as in the sight of the Great
Judge of their actions, truth would
spread, and the earth soon be salted
with righteousness.
Man sets death at great distance
but how many are taken away sud
denly. Life is but short-it is like
the morning cloud and early dew
it is like the flower Of the field, or
the newly mown grass. He stands
on narrow neck of land, betwixt
two unbounded seas. Hepasses away
after few short years not to be an
initiated, but to exist in another world
forever, and another takes his place.
But when he is gone, his works still
live. He may think that he has NOV
ed silently through the world, but he
has touched cords that will yibrate
through eternity. He is continually
exerting an influence. Is he a pa
rent ? Then the present and eternal
welfare of his children in his great
charge, because the wise man says,
aTrain up child in the way ne sho'd
90. and when he is old he will not de-
partfrom it." Ifhe is called TO preach
Gods truth, and neglects to warn men
Of the wrath to come, faithfully, and

comes short of declaring al the truth,
as it is in Jesus, God will judge him
for it-for he requires his Watchmen
to sound unfearingly the Gospel trum-
pet-salvation by faith in Jesus, who
died for human guilt. This was thh
doctrine of the Apostles. "Relieve on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shals
be saved" Such so forth bearing
precious seed, and shall return again,
bringing their sheaves with them.
Man is building himself house to
live in forever-he is forming his own,
destiny in happiness or woe. Tbs
blessed God has given his only Son
to be the foundation and chief corner
stone upon which he can build anti
be safe. He that builds upon this
rock is not afraid Of the storms OF
life, but continues to build till the
top stone is put on with rejoicing, cry
ing, grace unto it. What blessed.
rock is Jesus but there is a way
which seemeth right unto man, but.
the end is death. This is the mau
that expects that his sandy tounda-s
ton will stand the storms of the wrath
Of God.
IF the adversary of souls cannot
succeed in making men protanely
wicked, he will pursuade them that
this ism or that, will save their souls
any thing to bring them to hell.
He is we'll posted in the traps and
gins he has been learning nearly six
thousand years-therefore we ought
to take the word of God as our guido
and counsellor. It is rich mine,
into which we ought to dig every day
for that rich treasure which is endur-
ing.
Reader, how stands the matter with
thee ? Thou art exerting an influence
for veal or woe-helping to save 'or
damn thy fellow creatures. Hast
thou once known the Lord and turn
ed back into sin !? Remember thou
hast soul to save, hell to shun,
heaven to gain. May the writer and
reader find their latest foe under their
feet at last.

There's little mischief maker,
That is stealing half-ou bliss,
Sketching pictures of a dream-land,
Which are never seen in this;
Dashing from our lips the pleasure
Of the present while we sigh
You may know this mischief maker,
For his name is by and By"
He is sitting by our hearth stones,
With his sly bewitching glance,
Whispering of the coming morrow,
AS the social hours advance;
Lettering mid our calm reflections,
Hiding forms of beauty nigh
He's a smooth, deceitful fellow.
This enchanter, .sBy and By"
You may know him by his mineing,
BY h is careless, sportive air.
BY his sly. obstrusive presence,
That is straying everywhere:
By the trophies, which he gathers.
Where his cheated victims lie,-
For bold, determined fellow,
Is this conqueror, SPY and By"
When the calls of duty haunt us,
And the present seems to be
All of time that ever mortals
Snatch from long eternity:
Then fairy hand seems painting
Pictures on distant sky,
For a cunning little artist,
Is the ia Try, "By and By"
''By and by the wind is singing,
''By and by" the heart rep lies,
But the phantom just before US,
Ere we grasp it, ever flies.
List not to the idle charmer,
Scorn the very spacious lie;
Only in the fancy liveth

THE SLAVE WOMEN.
The darkest of Mrs. Kemble's pic
lures is that which illustrates the ope-
ration Of slavery upon the negro wo-
men. She was constantly implored
by the females of the plantation for
alienation of their woes, the nature
and extent of which woman only can
appreciate, and which Mrs. Kemble
describes as woman only can des-
cribe. On this plantation the con-
dition of pregnancy secured a trifing
reduction to the tasks Of the woman
Three weeks were given for recovery,

perhaps, hardly able to stand upon
their feet, they were compelled to re-
sumo their tasks in the field. Some

soldiers are members Of the Metho-

best fighting of the day, yesterday.
They went into battle full of enthu-
siasm, and not one of them finched
during the engagement. Their Ma
