therefore parted with his old friends
and took the first tram to Mobile
whence he came to this city by boat
Along the streets had assembled i'm

Miss Deslonde died iu this city about
a year ago, while the General was az
Charleston, and her funeral was one oI
the largest ever known. Gen. Beau
regards future plans are not known
As he is among the excepted eof the
amnesty proclamation, both on account
of his rank and education at W est
Point, he will probably await tue
action of the Government. He is in
robust health, as Is also his son, who
returns with him. The various mem.

home here in common with two.

army.

old places where homes have not been
broken up. In many cases their
places were long preserved for them
and their regular salaries paid them
till the occupation of New O1leans. A
great many, however, are still out of
employment, although it is probable
the expanding business Of the city will
soon make places for them.
EMIGRATION TO MExIco.
A good many Loui,ianians who
first went out in the war and up in
Virginia, subsequently, found their
way across the NJ .ss ;eippi, and will

some talk among those who have re.
turned here about emigrating to that
