Inthose times of trial and civil commotiou,
which shake thrones and disturb the founda-
tlcns Of. nationality, many Of tho class ofmen
who arc the rulers aud leaders Of society be-
come incompetent. Welded to long estab-
lished customs and policies, the progress Of
events, In the triumph Of reform and nd
vanceuaent over venerable, often ng.ho0orcd
stage OF action, and give tho rcins Of power
to new men.. To put the right men In the
right places Is m experiment often attended
with repeated faIlme5- But as our gallant
armies found at Inst, the men with the genius
to plan, aud the ability to execute, move
grave political questions In agitation Will be
Solved, and tho country roeeorod 10 haI1nony
hy those who will prove to be the men for the
tirnea- Mnny men, former political leaders in
Louisiana. are absent. Becoming most vio-
lent rebels, they have fed, md 1t may be said
know them no more" In tho disturbed con-
dition OF political questions, national and To-
cal, It might be difficult to state who aze, or
who will be tho leaders Of two parties, one
Uuion the o,hcr rebel Hon. R: King, CntlcF,
and Michael Hahn. Senator's elected to Con-
grrss By tho first Free State Legislature, and
]. Madison Wells, Gov. OF Louisiana, may
properly he regarded as at the head Of the
parties, whose political views they represent.
GOVERNOR WELLS
Is gentleman who hns passed the meridian
Of lie. He Is Of medium height, with gray
eyes, hair considerably frosted by age, pos
sesees no striking chronological developments,
would cause the stranger to think him other
than he is-a plain; unassuming man. ID his
dress he Ia simple md without adorn-
ment- He is courteous, and particus
larlv kind toward strangers and those who
whit upon hin-a paain, democratic gentle
He has been called 3 planter, not properly;
however, for he was not engaged In the cul-
turc of either cane or cotton he WAS more
properly farmer. A stock raiser, dealing
extensively in horses, Ills stock of blooded M
: imals IVES among the best IN the country.
Many Of the contests on the celebrated race
tricks in this State were decided In fayor Of
his horses, Should he he renominated for
Governor, am afraid he will lead his COM
petitors on the home stretch. At the com
mencement OF the war, moat Of his relatives
md some Of his children entered the rebel
service. The Governor remained neutral, and
gave no expression of his opinions to Indicate
been said upon the supposed fact that he
brought three hundred slaves within the
J; Federnl lines, and gave them their freedom.
d, The {acts were that about Thirty slaves be-
longing to the estate, following tho example
OF others, at the lime Of the capture Of ALEX
;audria By the Federal troops, came after the
arn1y and were transported to New Orleans.

1T Is somewhat singular aud anomalous, that
Tho Free State party upon the. simple fact Of
Ibis residence III Q distant country parish, and
his neutrality presumptive OF Unlonism, gave
him the nomination Tor the Office OF Lieut..

he would n,,rsue. or even In cxpression of his
