AFFAIRS N LOUISIANA
General Fullerton, who was sent by the President
to Now Orleans to adjust the difficulties between the
military authorities and the inhabitants concerning
morning, having O.
cessfully executed his mission The General reports
that the planters are unable TO obtain a sufficient
amount of labor and would employ several thousand
more freedmen than there are now in the State The
negroes are gradually becoming disabused of the
idea, encouraged by mlsceevous Northern men, that
they are to receive lands from the Government. and
are contracting with the planters for the ensuing
year.
Affairs on the Rio Grande excited very little inte-
rest in New Orleans. there anticipating any Sc
rious results from the recently reported collisions be-
tween our troops and the French. The citizens Of
Louisiana absorbed in repairing the losses sus-
tanned during the war, and take very little interest
in political military movements. Real estate rents
and all products, are commanding high prices, and
degree Of energy unusual in that section.

mems Bureau in North Carolina, the mortality
among the freedmen has greatly decreased.

habeas corpus. As consequence of this there will
be no military commissions or courts to try offences

truth whatever in the statement that Jefferson Davis
is to be tried by military court.
The KIRBY MURDER.-Hannah Kirby, who
shot and killed her husband few days since
in this city, having been formally turned over
to the civil authorities, was taken before Re.
corder L. I. Chandler on Saturday last; but
that officer declined going into an examination
at that time, and therefore recommitted her
to the city jail till Wednesday next, when she
will be arraigned before him and remanded
for examination before a regular Court of
Magistrates.
The mental condition of this unfortunate
woman is described as very distressing. She
is pale and haggard, and presents trlghttnl
contrast with what was her former ruddy and
cheerful appearance. She frequently shows
signs of q dethronement of reason; contends
that her husband is still alive, and anxiously
looks for him to come to see her. Her child
ren are with her, though strict watch IS kept
over her, lest she might attempt some violence
| upon them. The two eldest, aged about four
| and two years, will probably soon be taken

The English girl spends more than one
half her waking hours in physical amusement which
tends to develop and nvgorate and ripen the bodily
| powers. She rides, walks, drives, rows upon the
water. runs. dances, plays, sings jumps the rope,
| throws the ball. hurls the quot, draws the bow,
keeps up the shuttecOck-and all this without hav-
ing it pressed upon her mind that she is wasting her
! time. She does this every day until it becomes

natural consequence is larger, her muscular system
better developed her system in better subor
dination her strength more enduring, and the whole
