NEW YoRK, Ang. 3:-The Herald,s
New Orleans correspondent saws: THE
regulation of Freedmen's affairs and
the adjustment of differences between
me planters and the colored people, of
course still engroSS large portion of
the attention on the part 0iithe Goyern-
ment officials, and the public generally
in Louisiana. The Assistant SSuDerin-
/ tendant of Freedmen, at Shreveport.
gives very favorable statement, rep
lresenting that the majority i6f negroes
in that section of the State, are now
working under contracts with their for
mer masters. Some of the planters in
the vicinity of Port Hudson, have pc
Ititioned. Gen. Candy for the removal of
the garrison ut that place, on the plea
that the negroes are negleeting their
work and hocking thither. The Gene
raj has referred the matter to the Freed
mems Bureau, butt is not likely that
the garrison will be removed.
The General has recently issued an
order terminating the collection of taxes
in New Orleans for municipal purpo-
ses, by the military authorities, the as
sessments now provided for by the
State laws being considered ample.
On the Doth of July, all hut two of the
vessels of the late blockading squadron
off Galveston, were ordered North, and
u few days after, ono of them, the steam
sloop of war Oneida, also took her de-
parture, leaving only the gunboat Port
Royal to guard the port. ntrn ~
The aerald'S correspondence from
Matamoras and Brownsville show the

licans against the Imperialists. I,,a

am1cable relations prevailed between
our own officers and soldiers on the east
side of the river in Texas and the Impe-
rialists on the opposite side. Movements
on the other side of the stream give, ev-
cry indication of the design of maintain-

TABLE TALK.-When people come to see US,
We foollshy pratte, and think it necessary in or.
der to b. hospltabe; but such conversations are
chalk eggs. The honest msn must keep faith
with himselfi his shsel-anchor is sincerity. Los
| ing this he loses the laent Of his talent. What
we want is not your activity not your interference,
but your habitual truth. Stay at home. The way
to have large occasional views, is TO have large
habtual views. Let nature bear the expense.
Let our eyes meet Look not abroad for mater
ias for conversation, but rest first feel your sub
Ject fully then discourse, il speaking be more
grateful than silence. Make yourself the vehicle
Of truth.
Another hindance is the disposition to fun and
untimey jokes. Beware Of them, They are con.
dimenis: lnestmable for sauce, but corruptinu
food. You 90 away from such banquets hollow
and ashamed. There are people who cannot he
eulivaledi you must keep them down, and quiet
u EN- II You can people on whom speech makes
no Impression. Shun the negative side. Never
worry people With your cortratious. Never name
sickness, and above all, beware of unmuzzling the
valetudinarian.
Some western court has defined town 10 be
"a pl ee where whiskey is sold" lie would
define city as place where man could 90 into
a cafe. aud, while drinking his cup Of coff,e, meet
aud converse with men OF letters and OF science,
and enjoy the reireshment of society. Our insti-
tutl1ns Of daily necessity can be arranged to secure
such benefits, and this should be the aim Of eyery
philanthropst at home. We should welcome
every means to promote the intercourse OF men.
We should overcome our national spites.-Emer-
