LETTER FROM CHICAGO.

Special Correspondence of the New Orleans Crescenf
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 29th, 1866.
The subjects which now agitate Chicago are as
varied as Joseph's coat. The great controversy
between James Parton, of New York, and the
officers Of the Chicago and Northw estern railway,
in which the latter are charged with having swim
died some one out of $40 900 900 in the over issue
of stock the coming winter, and the predictions
by the old and knowing weather judges that this
winter will be a very severe one the usual
amount of criminal sensations, murders, suicides,
Opponents divorces, ETC., which Chicago is never
without, and the recent declaration of Judge
Cooley that "Rapdes parish is in d state of an
archy, J" all furnish topics Of conversation. The
latter topic is making good deal of stir among
the politicians and many of the people here
ga few strong sighted, far-visioned fellows see
another war breeding in the South,n and cite as a
basis for their views the declaration of Judge
Cooley. Just now, however, it is election time,
and, the political campaign over, the people will
think twice before engaging in military one.
Lately it Is becoming quite common for state
and civic authorities to give orders for paintings
commemorative Of the war. Hitherto this de-
partment of art has been comparatively ignored
in this country. In France they understand how
to paint and to stamp on the hearts of the people
the glory of their great victories, and such scenes
have been immortalized by the pencils of Horace
Yerret, Yoon, Beange, Carpenter, Paternostre
and PHO. England possesses one wretched daub
Of the "Iron Duke as he appeared on the field of
Waterloo, while India and the Crimea are utterly
ignored. Here in our own country we are far
from occupying the field as it should be DONE
These pictures are in no sense to be considered as
triumph over fallen foe or even an exnItation
at victory, but rather as typfying the gratitude Of
the people for heroic deeds. In painting, the
art is not brought down to a partzan stand
point, but is rendered heroic, revealing the
terrors, the heroism, and the mercies Of
the battle field AS we have said, the
field in this country is comparatively uuoccu-

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.

notwithstanding the summary manner IN
which Gen. Sheridan settled the Mexican
question, doubts will arise in reasoning minds
as to the practicability Of solving problems Of
this kind il any such manner It is a very
easy thing to decide political questions by
stgenerala orders when the soldiers are at
hand with fixed bayonets, and the eannoniers
stand by shotted guns. The process by which
Gen. Baird solved the question Of the New
Orleans riot was very simple, and very eff
fectiye for his purposes. 1t was an admirable
illustration Of the facility with which impro-
liabilities could be converted into certainties
and impossibilities resolved into actualities.
All that is wanting to accomplish these OBJ
jects, is sheet Of paper inscribed !" head
quarters, department Of " general orders
No - !" an assistant adjutant general, file
Of soldiers, and conquered city. Given these
elements, and with them an enterprising
military commander could solve the problem
of perpetual motion, effect the quadrature Of
the circle, demonstrate that the moon is made
of green cheese, and that the people Of New
Orleans are busy from morning till night in
Strengthening ln0HeAsIRe ! ieJatSsS'
But general orders are. not quite SO
effective when legeled against another com
munitg on al the people Of 4 foreign
country. Il may be very easy to show by
means Of military orders and military COM
missions, that the people Of Louisiana are a
setof oontumacious "rebels, and that the
radical conYentioners are the only honest
loyal " people il the State; but the process
fails when it is used for the purpose Of PROV
ms that there is really net more than one gov
eminent in Mexico; that Maximiian is an
imperial buecanear; that the fqgaeious Juarez
+ che only political power in Mexico with
whom it is lawful to hold communication, and
tnat 81 other aapirants are mere pretenders
in spite Of the most emphatic assertions on

MoRE NEW GeoDs ~ GIQUEI Our lady read
sers may be interested to know that there hasbeer
D very large assortment Of new goods received BY
Mr.. p. Giquel, No. I26 Canal street, during the
past week. These goods consist principally Of
silks pepins delaines, reps, alpaeas calicoes and
other dress goods for ladies, household linens,
curtain goods, aannelg, blankets, etc. Then there
is avery fine assortment Of eloaks, parasols, Ia
dies and children's hose, handkerehiefs, and, in
fact, almost everything that could be desired in
The dry-geods line at this season. We commend
q careful perusal Of Mr.. Giquel's advertisement
which will be found in the CRESCENT this morning.

BELTIN6s AND RUBBER GooDs.-We believe
that it is generally conceded among merchants
that wherever the largest and most complete
stock Of goods is to be found, there they can buy
to the best advantage. If, for example they
wish to buy india rubber beltings, pipes, etc,
and go to a store where these goods are kept and
sold in large quantities, they are more likely not
only to find what they want without trouble, but
to be able to purchase at lower rates, for the
merchant who buys largely generally buys
cheaper than him who buys in small quantities,
and can sell lower in consequence. IN the line Of
goods mentioned at the caption Of this article
there is a great demand all over our country.
Beltings, pipes and hose, which formerly were
made Of leather at a great cost, are now manu-
featured of vuIcanized india rubber at compare
lively cheap rates, and as experience has proved
that they are as good, if not better, they sell
wherever machinery of any kind is used. Messrs.
Bostick & Seymour hardware merchants and ship
chambers, Nos. Sc and 50 Fulton, and 35 and 81
Front streets, advertise this morning an immense
stock of beltings and india rubber goods, to.
gether with every description of gas pipes fittings,
cooking and heating stoves. Their stock is so
large that buyer cannot fail getting what he
wants and as they bought largely they can sell
reasonably. Country merchants, gas filters and
millwrights should remember this matter when
| laying in supplies.

The VALUE OF HEALTH.-The great object of
a mans life should be to preserve his health-for
without health his knowledge is useless, his wis
dom unreliable and his life generally without
value TO himself or his fellow men. The religion
of the sick man is not often anything else than
the result Of his fears which, were he given few
days Of good health, would be forgotten and de.
spsed. The charity of the sick man is of the same
sort he gives away what he feels he cannot
enjoy, and hopes to propitiate a Deity whom he
knows he has offended, before whom he fears he
will soon have to appear, by giving that which he
knows he cannot take with him. The sick man
cannot enjoy the carolings of the birds nor the
perfume Of fowers-the beauties of art nor of
nature. While all around him are smiling and
happy, he is racked with pain and torture by a
thousand unseen fiends. Therefore, we say that
the preservation of health should be every mans
first duty. Well, he can worship his God with a
grateful and truthful heart; his charities are no
cheat. Well, all nature smiles for him; his labor
heightened by a consciousness of physical power
and his rest is not broken by fevered dreams nor
aching pains. He can enjoy all the blessings that
his maker has given him and his reason tells him
to thank Him for that bounty
If health then is so valuable, how 10 maintain it
should be study Tor every sensible ana thinking
| man. He should do nothing calculated to injure
or impair it, and should take advantage of every
means Of placing it upon secure foundation.
Among the means for accomplishing this great
end which are said to be most eficacious, are the
Grey Jacket Bitters, manufactured by our fellow,
citizens Messrs. Barnett & Lion, at Nos 81 and
SO Gravier street. They strengthen the blood
build up the system and neutralize the effects OF
age and the climate upon the constitution. Truly
il all this be so, they should be in every house and
be drunk by all. They are manufactured, Messrs
Barnett & Lion inform US, of herbs indigenous tc
our Southern SOIL and never fail to benefit all who
try them. AS an appetizer they are said to be
superior TO the most celebrated bitters, Of this
or any other country, and that they are not bat
for general drinking there are thousands all oyel
the South who will testify.

Of all their receipts and expenditures, and bal,

upon reference to a notice published in another
column of the CRESCENT this morning, that the

souLR's COMMERCIAL AND TELEGRAPH Cor.
LEGE This is one Of the most complete and
thoroughly organized institutions in the country,
and located it is, at No. so Camp street, corner
Of Natchez, is in the very center of the business
part of the city, making it convenient to young
men who have employment, but who desire to
devote an hour or two every day to improving
themselves in their profession. The commercial
and telegraphio course taught in this college is
thorough, a graduate in either being competent to
take charge of set of bankers or commission
merchants books or the operators desk Of any
telegraph line, Such educations cannot be too
highly estimated, and no young man who knows
his own interest will neglect an opportunity of
acquiring one. We refer opr readers to the nd
yertsement of this institution which will be found
under the proper head in the CRESCENT this
morning.

THE FENIANs,
in the northwest, and especially in Chicago, arc
moving silently, but to some purpose. The recent
trial and sentence to death of Col, Lynch by the
Canadian authorities and also of Father Lumsden,
the Catholic priest, have aroused and united the
different clques and clans here and, in connection
with circles all over this section and along the
great Lakes, they are organizing for campaign,
winter campaign, in Canada. One of the most
prominent Fenians here assures me they have no
idea of living in tents this winter either. Long
before the 18th of December, the day on which
Lynch is appointed to be hanged, you will hear of
movements different in plan and magnitude from.
those undertaken last June. The Brotherhoodare
very strong here, and most of them are of the
Roberts wing. The OMahonyites and Roberts
men are together, and those who believe in Ste
phens are scarce out here. But the Canadian
| trials have united them all.
Aside from the Fenian excitement, Chicago is
unusually dull in all that goes to make up the
hustle of a great city, which a stranger notices.
On Change, the bulls and bears fight fercely and
the people feel the effects the battle, in the
increased length or brevity of their baker or
grocer, or butcher bills, but do not see the fight
!, Business is dull, for Chicago, and the wet
ables on the avenue promenades, but inside the
doors can be found the same amount of joy OF

FLOUR, BACON, LARD, ETo.--The old and rec
spectacle firm of s. H, Kennedy & Co. have for
many years been celebrated for bringing to this
market the best of the productions OF the West,
in the way of provisions. When brand of -four,
a cask Of hams, or tierce of bacon, was known
to be recommended by them, no questions were
ever asked further, and all our merchants were
perfectly content to rely on their judgment and
sell upon their classification. Their stock was all
ways large, and as their sales we're ever heavy, it
could well be taken for granted that nothing but
fresh goods could be comprised in their stock. As
was the case with this house formerly, SO it is to-
day and when their advertisement of variety
of articles in the grocery line is read III the col"
umns of the CRESCENT, this morning every one of
our dealers will know that the goods are well
worthy their attention, if they have orders to fill.
The goods advertised this morning are principally
choice brands of flour, clear sides, shoulders,
hams. dried beef, lard, candles, brandy and
whisky, all of which are of course good,

that there is another government in Mexico S
than that Of the so-called Liberal party, and
that, as between the two international law
demands that foreign nations should MAIN
tain a strict neutrality. They are apt, like
wise, when Juarez is put forward so promi-
nent1y as the representative Of genuine Next
/ can nationality, to examine the basis Of that
| chieftain pretensions, with the view of ascer-
tanning whether on any principle other than
| that of military and political necessity
and the plea of military and political neces-
sity can, be urged by every usurper and every
| government with equal effeet-he can justly
assume to represent that portion of the Next
can nation which resists the authority OF the
imperial government. 4
i Now, if there is any justification whatever
for intervening in behalf Of one party more
than in behalf of any other party in that
country, that justification must rest upon the
assumption that such party either represents
; the national will, or has the advantage OF an
adhesion to fixed constitutional forms. We
do not say that either of these characteristics
j. would really present case for intervention
> but we do say that the intervening power must
rest on one OF me other, OF oo'h u 'neNl,
: Yet we think it would be hard to show that
the Juarez government fulfills either of these
: conditions Does it represent the popular
: will? Why the very basis on which Maxi
= milan establishes his claim to exercise gov
J, ernmental authority is that he was called to
y the throne by the popular voice Of the country.

COOKING sTovEs.-The greatest desideratum
sought for in a cooking stove, from what we can
learn, appears to be capacity for cooking with
out loss Of fuel, time or labor. A stove that is
so adapted as to bake, boil or broil with rapidity
or to do all at once with small quantity of fuel,
and without subjecting the cook to extra fatigue
Or unnecessary exertion in STOPPING, is what is re-
CURED in every family, and is whatwill sell where
ever known. We believe thatthe celebrated "char-
ter oak' cooking stoves sold by Messrs Rice Bros.
& Co., at Nos. 93 and 95 Camp street, and at No.
5G5 Magazine street, is generally considered TO be
as near what we speak Of as any yet discovered
and we advise housewives to go and see them.
Besides these celebrated cooking apparatus,
Nessrs. Rice Bros. & Co., keep constantly on
hand almost every description Of parlor, bed
room, Office and bar,room stoves, and sell them
low. Theirimmense facilities enable them to buy
