Louisiana Moving.

A petition has been presented on
behalf of the loyal men of Louisiana,
praying that Congress will set aside
the existence Government, so-called
in that State, and establish one Re.
publican in form. 1t is a remarka.
BILE fact that the petition is signed by
the Governor, j. Madison Wells, and
by the Chief Justice and one Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme court OF
the State. Governor Wells was cleo
ted by the rebels in 1865, for a term
of four years, and if the Government
were valid he would yet have three
years to serve. He was an ardent
admrier of President Johnson, and a
jealous disciple of his policy at the
time of his election, and was accepted
by the rebels under the impression
that his reputation as n Union man
would secure the recognition Of the
State by Congress, and the admission
of her Senators and Representatives.
Subsequent events convinced the
Governor That he had made q fatal
mistake in following the lead of Mr..
Johnson, and there is not now more
determined friend of Congress. The
rebels, seeing that they failed to get
admitted even by humiliating them
selves, for so they regard it, to the
extent Of electing a Union man, be-
came quiet as much disgusted with
Wells as Wells was with them, and
they now declare that they will new
er elect another man to office, unless
he had served in the Confederate
army. Since the rebels gained the
control of affairs in Louisiana, and
especially since the massacre of July
Both, there has been great change
in the sentiments Of what was prev
iously known as the Conservative
Union party of the State. Events
have driven all Union men together
upon common platform, and made
them all Radicals. Hundreds who
were appalled, at the idea Of negro
suffrage, a few months since, are now
found among is warmest supporters.
They see in it measure of self-pres-
ervation; the only measure, in fact,
by which they can protect themselves
from the persecution and violence of
their rebel oppressors. 1t is, with
them, q question Of life and death.

Wool and Woolens.

The New York Tribune says:
"The importations Of wool and
woolens for 1866 have amounted to
$8,087, 967."
We have seen no verifcation of
this statement, but if it be true, it
shows that the Government has de-
rived from this source alone, over
thirty-three millions Of dollars of rev
enue, in gold. The tariff on wooden
goods since the amendment of July
'66, amounts to more than so per cent.
1t was previously forty-five per cent.
BY the same act the tariff on wool
has largely increased. Before its
passage the duty levied on the for
eign valuation of wool, but now the
heavy cost Of importation, freights,
insurance, commission, drayage, &C..
are all added TO the foreign value,
and the duty levied on top Of them
all, from forty to fifty per cent. on
the invoice valuation.

Anecdote of Webster.

The following anecdote is taken
from Frazer's Magazine of Septem-
Der
At the political dinners, Of which
Webster was rather fond, he almost
invariably became tipsy before his
speech time arrived, and some of his
most admired after dinner speeches,
were the composition Of friendly re-
porters. On one occasion he had to
be prompted by friend, who sat
just behind him, and gave him sue.
cessively phrases and topics. The
speech proceeded somewhat after
this fashion: Prompter: "Taritf. -
Webster: "The tariff, gentleman is
subject requiring the profound at
teRtion of the statesman. American
industry, gentlemen must be" mods
little. Prompter: 'National Debt"
Webster s.And, gentlemen, there is
the national debit should be paid
loud cheers, which reused the speak
err I yes, gentlemen, it should be paid
Tcheers. and id fit shan't be paid.
Il taking out his pocket book I'll
pay it myself! How much is it ?" This
last question was asked of a gentle
man near him with drunken serious
ness, and, coupled with the recol-
lection of the well known impecunios-
ity Of Webster's pocket-book, excited
roars of laughter, amidst which tho
orator sank into his seat and was
soon asleep.

Sheep and w DOL.

Seymour editor of the La Crosse
Republican, travelling in Vermont,
writes as follows to bis paper, dating
Dec. 4th:
While in Vermont, last week, /
met several fancy sheep>breeders
and wool growers, from whom many
interesting facts were CLEANED in res
pect TO their business. Among those
persons were some men who are al.
most constantly occupied in select
ing and purchasing fine wool Yer
nont sheep, for the Improvement OF
sheep in New York, Ohio, Michigan
and other States. Fabulous stories
are told Of the enormous prices and
earnings of fine sheep in Addison
County, of which Middlebury is the
chief town and head quarters. Tho
Mcssrs. Hammond and Victor
Wright stand in the front rank of
successful sheep breeders. Western
farmers may have noticed in the
Agricultural Report issued from the
department in Washington ayear or
two ago, picture of Mr.. Hammond
Merino Buck, called "Gold Drop"
who died last winter from lung dis
ease, u few months after the owner
had refused to sell him for twenty
thousand dollars. Mr.. Wright owns
'tiold Drop Jr.," which he would
not sell for five thousand dollars.
Such Bucks as those have each earn
cd for their owners. in one single
season, from five thousand to seven
thousand and five hundred dollars.
These Middlebury sheep breeders
own ewes which cannot be bought
tor less than fifteen hundred to two
thousand dollars each. Some lambs
cannot be bought for less than five
hundred dollars each. This sort of
business still goes on in the face of a
great decline in the woolmarkets
The New York and Boston markets
now rule the prices of wool at fifty
five cents for the best, fifty for fine,
and forty for common grades. The
usual deduction of one third does not
quite cover the waste in cleansing
tine Vermont woods. The actual
price in the place Gas it is" does not
exceed 30 cents. The manufactu-
rers, jobbers and dealers in wooden
goods cannot avert heavy losses,
while carrying such large stock I'M
der such decline in the price of the
raw material, which two years ago
ranged from seventy cents to one
dollar per pound. The reduction in
prices of all descriptions of wooden
cloths is apparent to the most ordin-
AIRY purchaser. With the reduced
price of wool, there will be cores
ponding reduction in fabrics of all
kinds. Western merchants will do
well to keep these facts in mind, I'M
I'll the inevitable equalization or adj
Justment of valuation shall have
been made.

ST. Louis. December Is

The Kansas City Journal, Radical
organ, profess against quartcring
troops in Jackson County, on the
ground that it will prove financially
ruinous. Petitions are in circula-
ton asking General Hancock's in
reference.
Last week a Conservative mob
destroyed the interior of a negro
school house, at Fulton, Galloway
County. The next day Governor
Fletcher's proclamation was received,
when the chivalry people became
alarmed and subscribed sufficient
funds to refurnish the school house.
Several instances of threats against
Union men in Galloway are given,
whore the threats are withdrawn
after the Governors action. In La
fayette County the Militia are still
in possession of Lexington.
The principal thief engaged in the
diamond ROBBERY one month ago to-
day, was Sc. fenced to five years in
