DGa Weare pleased learn that Colonel
j. 0. Nixon proposes to recommence the
publication Of the New Orleans Crescent in
October next. The Crescent, it will be re-
membered, was confscated about three
years ago, and its materials applied to the
dissemination Of doctrines directly the OPP
posite Of those to which it had always been
devoted. Colonel N. has survived the fiery
ordeal of the war through which he passed
with SO much gallantry and now intends to
wIeid again weapon which is "mightier
than the sword" Slightly Disguised with
politics, and not too affectionately disposed
towards all the political trash which the
tide of war has washed to the surface, he
will devote the Crescent principally 10 news
and tomatters relating to the material well
fare Of the people. We commend his deter
mination and wish him a fall measure Of sue
cess. 1t is sufficient only to mention the
resuscitation of the Crescent, Under its old
managers, to insure for it an abundant sup
port from the people Of the State.

Gg~ We have received the first number Of
the Southern Star, published in New Or
leans by Mr.. Edwin L. Jewell, formerly
Editor Of the Pointe Coupee Echo. The
new paper is printed with the Debris Of the
old Delta establishment, which its proprietor
has purchased, but presents, nevertheless, a
very creditab'e appearance. The Editor
claims to have been an original "union
man." and promises to support faithfully
all his old union friends President John
son, Governor Wells, Mayor Kennedy, and
the /" hull caboodle" of them. AS these
very respectable gentlemen have already
superabundance of organs in New Orleans
we are afraid that our young contemporary
will have a hard road to travel in the way
of obtaining patronage among the political
Ghebirs who PROSTATE themselves only be-
fore the rising san. What chance, for in
stance, does he stand to supplant the True
Delta, whose Editor, Notwithstanding the fact
that he voted first on the list in favor Of the
secession Of Louisiana, has swallowed all
three of the above named very respectable
administrations at mouthfal, and now talks
as flippantly of "rebels " and Of pirates, y
as he used to talk of vandals," Of "aboli-
tionists and Black Republicans = Or the
Picayune, whose original ssuniorism is be-
yond question, and whose grammatical stu
pidity and rhetorical nonsense have be-
come, since the war, if possible, even
more correctly stupid and more ele-
gantIy nonsensical; or the Times, whose
Yankee Editor, with his Yankee energy,
Yankee assurance, and six-cylinder press,
is getting far ahead of all his neiohbors,
unless indeed he has deceivedus all by his
evident belief in the one great bcatitude,
+" blessed is he that bloweth his own horn,
for whosoever bloweth not his own horn,
the same shall not be bowed We fear,
therefore, that our young luminary has APP
peared above the horizon,at very unseas,
enable hour, that it will "pale its ineffectf-
/ oil fres' before the constellation by which
it is surrounded, and that at no distant day

repeat the question and should be
obliged either to Mr.. Coyode, or the
Star, to answer it for us. And yet,
|should it turn out that Mr.. Covode
had not lied, and that all his asser-
lions are true, the Editor of the Star
is too old a politician not to know
that it would be no extraordinary
phenomenon after all the fuss he has
made about it. The Editor Of the
EStar, if we mistake not, has seen, and
been very close to, many a ground
squirrel politician, who kept on the
fence as long as he could, and took
neither side until he was we'll assured

was a good "rebel" in the days Of
rebel supremacy, good union man"
as the fortunes Of the Confederacy
began to waver, and who again, after
the war, finding the rebel seutinent
strongest, went over with them" If,
therefore, Mr.. Covode discovered any
such on his visit to Louisiana, he has
certainly not immortalized himself as
an original discoverer; and if he
would only expose the names Of the
| individuals to whom he refers he
would confer favor on us and all the
