PRESIDENT LINC0LN AS A CHAME
LEON.

Thanks to the devoted partisan>h2 Of Gen
oral Spinner, Of the Treasury Department, our
beloved chief magistrate has been made to ap
par in ar entirely new and unexpected char
ar:er. In reply 10 a letter from somebody in
Na~nonr, asking for information as to the form
H. ..ch !he President draw Is salary, MIR
= rc.- ir,,-G neral spinner decar-s .ssH, instead
%. e.s4VIng his salary in goli-cerlitietse-, Mr.
i.iI.c.u for the most part never draws his sal
aey all.
'.In one case" says Mr. TreasurcrG ancral
Spinner ''all his salary SO remained uudrawn
without interest for eleven months"
Upon this, new and interesting question
arises. If the Presidents never draws his @ala-
ry, does he never pay his debts It is under
stood that the salary of the President is paid
to Linn fiat he may defray his household expen-
ses at Washington and IL would cer!ainly not
appear that, al the present cost of 'Iying il the
capital fhe presidential salary affords much
margin for economy TO a Chief magistrate
maintaining the responsibilities Of his office.
Yet sir Treasurer General Spinner goes on
10 say thar when Air. Lincoln docs, after much
pressure consent to draw his salary. 1T
us mostly invested in stocks of the United
.States. purchased II current rates by his friends
'.for hila.''
How, then, w repeat, Goes The President
live ? He certainly was act esteemed million
are before he went 20 Washington. 1t is ard
ly to be Supposed that he makes a handsome
annual profit At present OFT Of some business
not connected with his executive duties as head
of the nation Is his excellency, after all,
chamelepnl His frequent changes OF political
color would seem 10 intimate much; and if
he really lives On air, the question may be con-
sidered to he settled.
We await with cagerness further hsht upon
this subject from Mr. Treasurer-General SPIN
ner.-- World.

Your valuable aid has Just been

Walkers Division. ! returned to
the command and saw the clothing
you made, issued to those needing il
most. ] saw these gallant and un-
tiinching Soldiers receiving these
new garments on dress parade, and
it was a universal remark, that they
had not appeared so well since Dec.
1862. Through your cxer,ions one
Regiment have been greatly aided.
For them l return you their warmest
thanks; their gratitude will be shown
very shortly, in freeing large por-
ton of the loveliest portion Of the
State from the tread OF the yandal
foe. We leave Tomorrow.
AT Their urgent request, solicited
by our heroic commander-General
Walker-l come again to your homes.
asking You, knowing as You do and
appreciate their wants, that You will
again furnish me with cloth, and as
far as your time will admit, make it
into garments.
As time is valuable, l name some
persons who will receive what YOU
can furnish: Mrs. NJ. p. HAY, or
Mrs. Butler, Mt Lebanon; Mrs. Ards
or Mrs. Quaries, Minden; Mrs. DIR.
George, Shreveport ; Miss Maxey or
Mrs. Jefferson Blackman, Homer ,
Mrs. Burns, Mansfield Mrs. n. King
ston, Mrs. Fuman, Keachi.
In September, expect to be at
these places and many others, with
the new issue or Louisiana State
money. The Ladies sold their cloth
on quite reasonable terms, being for
their protectors. All the garments
We're made up without charge.

The New Orleans Times of July
21st says, another and more terrible
blow than even the loss of two ocean
steamships, is struck at the CONNER
cial interests of New Orleans by the
destruction at St. Louis, by fire, Of
four mammoth steamers Belonging to
the New Orleans trade, and FIVE 9th
eY boats. 1t is an event to be deep
1y lamented by all classes of our citi-
zens, who largely rely upon the meat
and -four of the West, rendered econ
omical by cheap freight, for their
subsistence. 1t is also another seri-
ons blow to our means Of receiving
and transmitting mails and news in
telligence. We hope, however, that
number of smaller boats, report
cd lying idle at st. Louis, viii! be
able to perform the necessary trans
portation, to and from our city. We
deeply sympathize with our friends
connected with the destroyed boats
in a misfortune which affects them
even more nearly than the public of
New Orleans.
