For the New Orleans Crescenhl
Travelling during the excessive heat of summer
is anything but pleasant but owing to the kind
ness of Captain Carson, Of the Arthur, rendering
us the use Of his private parlor, over the usual
cabin, where we enjoyed all the breeze striking
the boat, we were enabled to pass the time quite
agreeably from Memphis down The Arthur is
one of the Atlantic and Mississippi line of steam
ers-all first class boats-and is second to but one
on the river. Her staterooms are much larger
than the usual size, and fitted up with every con
venence and elegance. Her fare is all that is de-
sirable and the walters neat, prompt and atten-
tive. Ali desiring to travel pleasantly, would do
well to place themselves in charge of the polite
and attentive captain of the Arthur As he is a
son of temperance, we have guarantee of safety
on his boat, which, under the present frequent re
eurrence of river accident is an item of much I'M
portanee.
An amusing incident, illustrative of people and
times, occurred on the boat. The meals are
served with snail tables, accommodating about
half dozen each and as l have said with taste
and elegance and no one but "snob" could
reasonably find fault. On board were a gentleman
and lady, from Cincinnati, who have lately, as l
understand, rented plantation on the Mississippi
1neihuy sent WONI bne WiSued a separate table
for herself and husband, and white table-clolh
for breakfast and sQpper, She was accommodated
with a.geparate table, until the captain heard of
it, when my lady, finding she must sit down with
Southerners, took her meals in her room. Finding
she would reach her destination at night the hus-
band made the simple request of the captain to
let bis boat lie during the night, as he did not
wish his wife to-land at night. The captain was
impoiite enough TO go to sleep without giving the
requisite orders for his accommodation!
These are the manners by which some Of the
Northern people render themselves obnoxious,
andare obliged to run the gauntlet Of sarcasm and
ridicue for the assumption Of superiority. Doubt,
less. these persons will send back an account Of
their persecution on board, for the lack of white
and private tables. What untold
mental alllictions they suffered daring the trip to
Dixie from unciTilized, barbarous southerners
Doubtless their healthful influence viii work
change in cur benighted country, and elevate our
standard Of planners as well as morals.

The Democratic Party and the Pro-
posed National Convention.

WASHINGTON, June 26-9.15 P. M.-The
precise position occupied by the Demo-
cratic members of Congress in reference
to the Union Convention, called at Phila-
delphia, Is thus stated: They are favora-
bly, disposed towards such a convention,
believing that the representation of the
southern States in Congress is not only
right but necessary to the harmony and
prosperity of the country. They are viii.
ling therefore to cooperate with the Union
Convention for that purpose but if it shall
be perverted from its original and patriotic
design, for the foundation of new party
they prefer clinging to their own. Al
present the Democrats seem DESTROYS tc
further the movement.

In the House Of Commons on the 18th

interrogatories were rained down upon
the Government. Few were answered
at all. Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Lay
ard made brief speeches, from which
little could be gathered throwing light upon
the attitude Of Great Britain. Mr.. Glad
stone said that Austria, having public
right and justice on her side, had the syn
pathy of England with her in respect to the
Duchies, but in the matter of Venetia she
could not expect it," ellie denied that the
British Government had encouraged Italy
to arm for the taking of Venetia, and de-
IL ~ |,

fering advice to any of the parties. He
avowcd his faith in the power of confer
enccs to preserve peace in Europe, and
expressed his regret that it failed on the
