New ORLEANS, June &c, 1866.


NEW ORLEANS, June 26, 1866.
New Orleans has. no counterpart,
Naturally and artificially it's un.
like any other city. In fact it is o.
city Of contraries. The water in
the cutters is so contrary it will not,
as in all other towns, run to the
river, but invariably runs from the
river, into fower regions-not the
lower regions we read of, but into.
an Internal big swamp, stocked with
alligators and other allies of rebel
proclivities. The inhabitants of
this burg-with the exception Of
the business community, properly
so called-rest all day and work Or,
play all night. Night, did I sayP
There is no night here. The day is
perpetual. The noise of vehicles
unceasing. The rattle and clatter
of St. Charles and Canal streets,
never ending.
At present, however, the city
wears quiet appearance, as there
are but few strangers here, and that
few waiting for transportation
North, East or West. The weather
is not and has not been thus far this
season unusually warm, and the
health of the city is tolerably good.
No epidemic, and no signs of any,
Speaking of epidemics, reminds me
of Brown in quarantine regulations.
He says. there is no longer any use,
in shutting, the entrance. against
vessels from domestic ports, for tho
telegraph wires connect them all
with this city, and if the cholera is
anxious to come here it can como
over the wires as readily as the
news can! james CONCEAL, whole
sale druggist, No. 20 st. Charles
street, qpieted Brown by telling
him that he was already making
arrangement with the Governors Of
the different States, through which
tho wires pass to have the tops of
the telegraph poles anointed with
his cholera specific, which is non,
conductor of cholera! Brown col
lapsed.
The blocks Of buildings bounded
by Canal, Magazine. and Tchoupi-
toulas streets have monopolized the
attention of the firemen.of this city
during the past month. First G. N.
Morrison, wholesale druggist, next
Waterman & Co.,, then Barnett &
Lion, liquor dealers; next Geo. NJ.
Bayley & Co., wholesale grocers,
have been destroyed by fire during
the last three weeks, and others ad-
joining much damaged.
We have had since my last, our
unusual number of "accidents," but
few of these only have been of n
very serious character. The kill.
ing of the notorious Bob Johnooni
by the Duffy brothers, caused con-
siderable excitement, especially
among the sporting. fraternity, but
the slayers were set at liberty on
the ground that the killing was

The number of pleasure seekers
and business men going North ia
daily increasing. Among those who
are going North and East to make
arrangements for the fall trade, |
notice James Gonegal, the celebra-
ted Wholesale Druggist of this city,
who viii leave in few days for o.
stock of Drugs and Medicines, which
will in many particulars, exceed any
ever brought to this city. The en-
ergy. this gentleman displays is sell
dom equaled, in any business.
From this time henceforth for n
few months you may expect to hear
in your neighborhood semi-occa-
that "the Yellow Fever has
broken out in New Orleans" Now,
if you will rely on this correspon-
dent, he pledges himself that when
the first defined easc makes its ap-
pearance he will let you know i'm
medidtely-unless he himself is the
first victim, which is not to be ap-
pretended, as he makes daily use Of
Cabinet Brandy, which
he obtains at 20 st. Charles street,
of price, MS he buys on a
credit.--Please accept the. .samc
promise with the same proviso con-
cerning the Cholera
The Insurance Offices Of New
Orleans are rninus ahout l2EO 00O
