New ORLEANS, Sept. 27, 1865.
My DEAR TINES We are now enjoying the
benefit of fresh water. Rain Rain Rain
for the past thirty-two days, with a fair pros
pect of six more. have no doubt that an en-
terprising firm might make fortune by 60
ing into the ark business.
Gov. Wells has issued his proclamation Or
dering an election, and the different parties are
organizing for the strife. We have three par
ties in the feld-one the regular Democratic
another under the title of 6 Conservative, -
and the third regular Simon-pure Abolition
ist. From present appearances the Democrats
will carry the day, and we wish few of those
gentlemen in the North, who still Insist upon it
that the war is not over would take trip this
way. They would soon learn that # they de-
sired to get up fight they would be compelled
to seek for recruits outside Of the Southern
States. No people were ever more in earnest
IN doing all that can possibly be done to bring
about restoration of good feeling and fellow
ship with the North than are the people of
Louisiana. They are warm supporters of
all in his power to restore them to their former
position in the Union.
There has been little misunder-
standing between Mayor Kennedy and
General Candy in regard to the
city wharves the General contending that they
belong to the Government as contiscated prop
erty. Being unable to agree, our worthy
Mayor has posted off to Washington to lay the

he must wish his term had expired A North
ern minister observes a church all ready to
step into, away he tramps to Washington and
modestly asks the President to make him
present of one in New Orleans, offering as an
excuse, that there is no place of worship ex-
clusively Northern in the city, and he don't
think it right-or just-tat the Southern peo-
pie should monopolize all the churches in SO
| large place. y We would infogm this politi-.
cal preacher, that if he desires church in New
Orleans the best way for him to do, is to par
chase piece Of ground and build one, and
| that's about the onl y way he'll ever succeed.
see by the papers that Mr.. Thad Stevens
! is opposed to admitting representatives from
the South to seats in Congress-. Not many
mouths si ce, that gentleman, because it suited
his purpose, insisted upon it that the States
never could and never had seeded from IL e
Union he now as Vehe;Hently declares that

The war between the s'Tsmes'' and 'sTiue
Delta, is over, both parties having W. .thdrawn
their forces, and now that peace reigns once
more between them, we would respectfully
suggest that the publication Of private and do
mestic matters is, to say the least unworthy the
dignity of the press.
A new daily will make its appearance next
week. Col. Nixon, late Of the "Hotel de
Johnsons Island, will revive his and the peo-
pie's Crescent, and from his well-known ability,
you may look for a paper worthy the support
of the whole country. No braver soldier ever
marched to battle, and no better man ever
welded pen, than that prince of good fellows,
j. 0. Nixon. Success to him. After fighting
four years he has come to the conclusion that

The Varieties Theatre opened for the season
last night. The bill presented was Bourci-
cault's comedy of the Irish Heiress," and
the farce of the Fool Of the Family The
house was crowded and the performance gave
general satisfaction. OF the company 1 shall
speak in my next. Spauding and Rogers cir
Gus and hotel are trying to play the legitimate,
but are by no means successful, not having the
stage appointments necessary for the produc-
ton of anything more attractive than a farce.
/ presume, however, what they lose in a the
atrical way, they more than make up by the
number of patrons who follow the advice given
on the bottom of the programmes and turn
left into their saloon. | understand regular
variety troupe will arrive next week, when the
dramatic company will leave for Savannah
