The Louisiana Democracy.

We had occasion the other day to explain
the character Of the Secession Convention,
calling itself Democratic, which nominated
Gov. WELLS for reelection. A correspond
ent of the Mobile Ti6nne-presumably a
very violent and well-known rsbel-gives an
account Of the closing proceeding which
sufficiently indicates the views which pre-
vailed in that assembly. In our view, the
proposition to admit Mr.. DAVIS to citizen
ship is, to use the language Of the Mobile
paper, a " laundering joke.
The writer says the platform adopted was
the high-toned, manly Southern doctrine Of
State rights, rspudiating the bogus constitu-
tion Of 1852, and maintaining the right of
petition for confscation for the loss of
slaves. The utmost harmony prevailed until
the adjournment sine die took place at the
close of the Convention. Mr.. OVERALL, q
member Of the Committee on the platform,
introduces q preamble and resolution re.
questing President JOHNSON to release JEFF.
DAVIS and restore him to citizenship.
Mr.. OVERALL commenced speaking from
his place on the floor Of the hall, but the
Convention soon got wind of his object, and
cries "Get on the platform, 1--WE can't hear
you" were shouted over the house. Mount
ing the platform, the speaker continued his
speech amid laundering applause. The
members rose from their seats and came for.
ward. The widest excitement was apparent,
and the preamble and resolution were passed
with laundering unanimity. So eager was
the Convention to pass the resolution, that it
would not listen to few remarks from n
gentleman who arose to second the measure,
and SO good words for Mr.. DAVIS closed the
proceedings Of one Of the finest bodies of men
have ever seen assembled in convention.

The Philadelphia Firemen's Parade.
PHILADELPHIA, October 16.-The grand
parade of the Philadelphia FIRE department
to-day is one of the most imposing and
splendid pageants ever presented in this
country. The procession Is composed Of
twenty-five divisions, each numbering from
four to six companies, all amounting to over
one hundred and fourteen, including over
thirty visiting companies: Six from New Y York
city, one from Boston, one from Albany, one
from Buffalo, one from Salem, Mass; two
from Jersey City, one from Newark, two
from Washington, two from Lebanon, Penn;
one from Allentown, four from Camden, N. j.;
from Pittsburg, and one from Wilmington,
Del. Most ofthe visiting companies brought
their apparatus. Many of the Philadelphia
companies turned out with entirely new en-
gines and hose carriages, and all the appara.
tus was decorated with most excellent taste.
The last general parade Of our fremen
took place in 1852, and this is the first here
All the FIRE engines of the city, twenty -iyo
in number, have been displayed at one time,
with the ambulances which have been used
by the fremen for the conveyance of sick and
wounded soldiers.
They formed a most interesting feature Of
the procession. Many of these ambulances
have been gotten up regardless Of cost, and
with view to comfort as we'll as beauty.
Almost every company on the line is ac-
companied by musicians composing the most
celebrated bands in the Union. The weather
is most excellently adapted to the parade.
This morning opened cool and pleasant,
the streets are crowded with spectators and
hundreds of thousands of people are gathered
along the route which includes oil sections of
the city There are large numbers of stran-
gers hourly arriving.
Tho Ledger to-day estimates that the
parade will turn out more men than followed
in General scott's grand army up from Vera
Cruz to the Halls Of the Montezumas.
The houses along the route are gaily deco
rated with flags, and numerous arches are
thrown across the streets. At many points
immense stands have been erected for the ac-
comodation of spectators. 1t is estimated
that the line of parade is nearly ten miles in
length.
The drill of most Of the companies was
perfect, and the marching of the hremen in
dicated the military education they have re-
ceivod during the recent war.
The day will long be remembered in the
history of the city, and a noble indication Of
the worth of our volunteer fremen.
There were l2O hose carriages, 81 steam
engines, IL hand engines, IL hook and ladder
companies, and 81 ambulances, making a
total of 2O3 pieces of fire apparatus in the
nrocessinn

when WirI was q sergeant there, acknowled ging
the kindness OF WirI toward him personally. He
did not desire to compel Mr.. Ely to come here,
and hoped the Judge Advocate would not object
to the letter.
Col. Chapman said he had really no obj ection
to the admission OF the letter, but In justice to
Mr. BY, he would state that he had told him
(Col C) that while he acknowledged acts OF
kindness conferred upon him (Mr. Z. personally
at Richmond, he was generally known as most
brutal and tyrannical man, and he (Mr. e. could
not testify to anything beyond personal matters.
Mr.. Baker declined 10 offer the letter, and an

defence.
Colonel Chapman said he also closed his case
on the part OF the Government, but he desired to

THE AUTUMN SEASON In THIS
LATITUDE.

Our contemporaries Of the Northern press
are RECALLING their readers, as they do in each
recurring autumnal season, with their rich
and picturesqe descriptions Of the glories of
the "Fan Of the year" They talk Of the
harvested corn and husking frolics the yell
low pumpkins and rcd.oheeked apples, the
calico foliage and the ripened nuts of the
Northern forests, Of fruits and vegetables and
cider presses and quilting bees and pretty
girls in way that never fails to make the
teeth water Of him who readeth thereof. So
much has been written upon this topic in
tho more northerly latitudes that we who
inhabit the middle and more southerly belt
Of our broad country, with its grand variety
of climate and productions, seem inclined
to assent to the idea that We have no au-
tumn here worth speaking or writing about.
But the truth is that the fall season has as
many attractions in Maryland and Northern
Virginia, on the shores of the Potomac river
and Chesapeake Bay, as anywhere else in this
land.
We have the productions of the Northern
forests, mostly. The chestnut and the
hickory-nut do thrive in our latitude yea,
verify, and the apple and the ounce. More
over the persimmon, which is fouted by the
ignorant and unbelieving, giveth forth its
rich fruit what time the frosty weather
cometh on. This fruit, be it said in passing,
is, more than any other, protected from pre-
mature gobblement by its quality of pucker.
ing the mouth Of him who rashly partaketh
thereof before its time. Mature hath not
granted the same protection to the female
sex, giving, as she does, sweetness to the
youthful maiden, and imparting puckery and
bitter qualities to old maids La brilliancy
of dyes the Northern forests-the home of
Boreas and Jack Frost-exceed our own.

SEWARD has furnished the British Govern
ment with important information in regard
to the movements and designs Of the Fenian
Brotherhood:
We had supposed that in showing why
statement could not be true, we contradicted
It. But if that be necessary, we do say that
the rumor, so industriously propagated and
so shamefully exaggerated by a partisan
press, is false in its length aud BREADTH that
Mr.. Seward has not furnished the British
Government such information as represented;
that no correspondence has passed in which
q claim has been made for such intelligence;
and that the whole story is false as it is fool.
