LOUISIANA.

Mr.. Covode, Of Pennsylvania, re-
turned n few days ago from his mis-.
sion to Louisiana, whittier he had
been sent by the President TO eX-
anime and report upon the condi.
ton of ailairs-especially rs to the
propriety Of relaxing military rule
in the State. lie made Il lengthy
report to the President, most OF
which he had probably agreed up.
on before he ever saw the Mississippi
pi river, He stated that the with
drawal of the military forces would
entail all manner Of disasters upon
the "loyal" people of the State, and
to avert such catastrophe recon-.
mcndod the increase instead Of the
diminution or withdrawal Of the
/ troops in that section, The Presi-
dent did not concur with the views
Of his radical commissioner. He
said he did not believe the people
Of tho North would be. willing to
pay taxes for tho support of an ar
my TO keep the Southern people in
subsection, now that the war was
ended, and there was n manifest dis
position all through the South to
abide by its issues and its lessons.
Mr.. Corvode replied that his plan
would be to govern the Southern
States at their own expense, by
making them pay for the support
Of such armies as were necessary to
keep them under proper control
But here, again, Mr., Johnson's
views were at variance with those
Of his commissioners; and the re-
suit Of Mr.. Covode's wonderful sin
vestigation" is that he thinks just
as he did before he started for the
South, that every white man below
Mason and Dixon's line is a born
traitor, unfit to be trusted, that eve
ry black man is loval and ought to
be allowed to vote, and that the
Wendall Phillips radicals are the
only persons who, under the provi-
dence of God, have been endowed
with the varied and manifold bless
ings Of loyalty, patriotism virtue,
piety and morality. Mr.. Johnson
has a different way of thinking, and
still adheros to his belief that the
people of the South must be trusted,
and, as he said to Mr.. Covode, "thc
administration can do without the
radicals better than the radicals can
do without the administration. -
That's even so, as the radicals will
find out before long, if they don't
learn better manners.-Cor. Gin.

National Express COMPANY,

Tue books of subscription to the
capital stock Of this great company
have been closed-the amount allot-
ted to Louisiana having been taken.
We are informed that twice the sum
apportioned to our State would have
been subscribed if the books had
been permitted to remain open two
days longer, and if the rules had al
lowed the reception Of additional
subscriptions.
This great enterprise will per-
meate every section Of our common
country, North and South, and the
veterans of the war, in either sec
ton, will be employed by it, as
their services may be found useful
This is one of the noblest features
of the undertaking, and will I'M
doubtedly tend immensely towards
the promotion Of its usefulness and
value. Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston has
been elected President Of the Com
pauy. His administrative capacity
and his untiring, systematic energy,
are unsurpassed. Uudcr his auspi-
ces-aidcd as he will be by an able
corps of assistants--the National
Express Company is bound to prove
u success.
We learn that efforts are being
made to secure the services Of Col.
James b. Walton as Superintendent
for Louisiana. We doubt whether
the Colonel would accept the posi-
ton if rendered him, but if he
should the Company would enjoy
fruits Of the labors of a thorough.
going, industrious, systematic bust
ness Inan.-N. o. Crescent.

The Revival of Business.

Many there are who express sur
prise at the unprecedented trade
which has sprung up in our city
since the close Of the war. In fact,
the increase in business has exceed
ed the most sangulnc expectations
OF even the most hopeful Of our
merchants, and is Gathering COM
mentalv on the advantages OF our
commercial situation. Sitting at
the gates of empire, our lowland
city Of the Crescent looks out upon
broad seas through which she can
hold uninterrupted intercourse with
distant continents and isles. Turn
ing her glance inland she surveys
long lines Of natural canals, which,
crossing the cotton belt, stretch
away, away to the great graneries
Of the West-to the immense lakes
of the North-and, in thousand
directions, through all the interven-
ing country. Where the smooth
prairie borders the highlands; where
perpetual summerrobes herself with
unfading verdure; where the undis-
turbed mine offers its riches as the
reward of industry; where virgin
soil invites culture where the oil
springs from the earth and the wine
bursts from the purple grape-there,
the resources of New Orleans may
be pointed out by the agriculturist,
the geologist and the statistician.-
No other city in the world is so adj
vantageously situated for interior
and exterior commerce, and no
where are the harmonizing influ-
ences of commerce more thoroughly
appreciated. Though many of the
sons of the Crescent went off to the
war, yet war is not their natural ell
ement. Wiled away for a time by
the song of the Troubadour, they
have returned to take part in the
nobler duties of commercial enter
prise, which bind man to man with
the ties Of mutual advantage and
build up a brotherhood as allen
bracing as the atmosphere which
surrounds our globe.
Before the war New Orleans and
the South generally, were all but
unknown by many Of our fellow
citizens and relatives in other Por-
tons Of the Republic; but such is
mt the case A. present. The tales

A LyUchburg correspondent Of
the New York Tribune says Bishop
Early was present ut the meeting Of
the Presbyterian Synod lately held
in that city, and took part in the
discussion Of the negro question: -
The writer says; "I'hc venerable
Bishop Early Of the Methodist
church who had been especially in.

this important subject, giving them
tho hrnrlit of his long and varied
experience. He urged the Christ
ians Of the South to do all they could
for the negroes 81 the land, and not
leave them with the pernicious in
huencc to which they would now be
especially subjected if we did not
extend to them our sympathy and

Of such age and influence in the

over sixty years, always II Jealous

having among them many seals to

The committee Of this Synod re-
ported in favor Of separate church
organizations for the negroes, This
was strongly opposed by some,
among others Vim. Writ Henry,
grandson OF the immortal Patrick
who said that this would involve
separate officers, and thus require
their admission into the church
courts, u step he Judged ineXpodi-
ont. Besides this, ignorant and ia
natical preachers from the North
would often fill these pulpits. Keep
them as close to the whites as pos
sible.
Several Of the preachers, howev-
er, said their experience proved that
the negroes would be dissatisfied
without seperate organizations, and
the report Of the committee was
adopted --Christtan Aduocute.

THE New ZEALANDER.-A New
Zealander must be the most remark
able creature in existence. He COM
bines every characteristic of tho
wild beast with the faculties Of civ
ilized man. We call him savage,
and, as far as nudity, fierccness, and
scarcely abandoned cannibalism can
make him so, he is one; but no be-
ingOf human race is moro intelli-
gent. He can live on the noun
tains, or in the bush like a wolf, but
he meets his pursuers with all the
resources Of military art. He man
ufactures rifles out Of old shsp's
muskets, and makes percussion caps
out of soldiers buttons. He has
never studied at q professional acad-
envy, but he is a greater master of
the science of fertilization than the
average British engineer. If there
was one thing that might have
been expected Of modern artillery,
it was that it would render Maori

pers and miners contemplated us
in moment, and added work or
two to their redoubts which com

Our soldiers actually respected them
for their extraordinary talents and
eminent valor. With all this, too,
they are singularly given TO rhotor-
ic and debate. They would as soon
talk as fight-sometimes rather, and
display incredible proficiency inne-
gotiations and conferences. We
must add to this sketch of the New
Zealander that though his real con-
captions of religion would be prob
ably satisfied by the African Fetish
he has contrived to make conquest
of Christian bishops and mlssiona-
ries, insomuch that those good peo-
pie support him with devout fidelity

I OF Munohauscn tourists among our

The present population Of New

How TO REACH THE FREEDMEN

How TO REACH THE FREEDMEN
The Columbus, Miss, Sentinel,
speaking Of the multitude of orders
and addresses to the freedmen, pub
lished in the newspapers, says:
We wish to say to Col. Thomas,
that the publication of these orders
to the freedmen, is labor lost. In
the first place about one out Of eve
ry thousand can read; and out OF
those who can, about one in ten,
perhaps could be induced to believe
anything unpalatable that he should
happen to find in our newspapers
1t amounts to nothing for former
masters and mistresses to read these
orders to negroes, if they contain
as many of them do-words of wise
counsel. The infatuation, the blind
ness of the negroes in this respect
is astonishing. They do not believe
anything that we can tell them or
which wo may read from papers,
that is at variance with their ideas
Of freedom. They have u mortal
antipathy to papers of any kind
and all the judicious instruction Of
commissioners, SUD and super
sought to be conveyed through the
medium of published documents, is
seed on rocks.
In place of this it advises him to
select ten, twenty, or if need be,
thirty men, who are sober, sensible
and honest-who are of imposing
personal appearance-who can wear
good blue clothes-and who were
born at least one thousand miles
distant from Cape Cod, and send
them out as missionaries among the
freedmen. Between this time and
the new year they can traverse the
whole state of Mississippi and reach
vast proportion of the freedmen
who need instruction most. The
most credulous and wildly hopeful
of men are congregated in towns,
cities and at the principal railroad
depots. These are the fellows who
are awaiting the millennium of the
25th Of December, who expect big
division Of land and plumber on
that day. To these, the missiona-
ries of Col Thomas ought to talk.
They need not say anything moro
than he says in his last general or
der, if they are men Of the kind we
have suggested.
We suggest an amendment. A
few sensible negroes would do more
good, and be more effective mission
aries than any lumber Of white
men, come whence they may.
