Letter From New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9th. 1866.
Mr.. EDIToR:-You have manifested some
desire to hear from this goodly city occa-
sionalIy, and SO here we make a beginning.
l presume you know beforehand that New
Orleans is situated on the left bank of the
Mississippi river, and that the river would
be all over it, if it were not for the levees in
front, that Is at some times in the year; but
you may not be aware that the greater por-
ton Of the city is on the north side of that
stream l trust have now told you some
thing that you did not know before but
which is nevertheless true.
It's fact proper to be mentioned Just
now, that people frequently tell US things as
facts which are not so, and some which may
be SO, but are hard to believe. One of those
which | am told just now, is that business
is.decreasing here in New Orleans; that the
stores are full but little is sold | am in
clined TO doubt this, by reason of the well
clogged side walks of our principal streets,
and the numerous lists of new arrivals at
the hotels. The steamboats, go away well
filled, and the Jackson railroad cannot fully
meet the needs of its patrons. l doubt if
business is Stacking Off yet
Our Legislature and Governor have not
Wet fully made up" l presume you know
that Wells hasassumed to appoint all parish
or county and city officers swho are elected
by law and the constitution, and refuses to |
execute laws passed over his veto, requiring |
him TO order elections 1t was said the 9TH |
er day that he had compromised, on some |
weak ground, but he has not as yet acted |
as the compromis ewould indicate he should. |
In the mean time three commissioners 60 |
on to Washington to lay the case of the
State and its Legislature before President |
Johnson. 1t is composed of Mr.. Speaker
Cage, native of Mississippi, believe, and
Mr. Eustis of the House, son of the late
Chief Justice Eustis, and brother of Mr. Sill
iell's secretary of legation at Paris, and Mr.
Eagan a lawyer and Senator from the north
western part of the State
You will want to know what President
Johnson has to do with our State affairs.
viii tell You all that we know. This State
government was organized under Banks. 1t
succeeded TO military governorship insti-
-uted by Butler. The military Governor
appointed the Mayor, making him absolute
N authority over all city affairs, and doing
AWAY with the Common Council The mill
ary Governor also appointed all State Off
.ers. When Hahn was elected Governor,
md Wells Lieut.. Governor, the constitution
lad not been remodeled. Hahn was also
appointed military Governor by Lincoln

u The chief item ofinterest in the New
|rleans papers, at present, is the charter by
he Legislature to a private corporation, con-
sting of Gen. Beauregard and others, for
redging the bars at the mouth of the Mis-
ssippi, and authorizing a tax on tonnage
1r the benefit of the company. This is OBJ
'cted to, as dangerous monopoly, and on
ther grounds. The bars of the Mississippi
re a serious inconvenience, and one which
IN be removed only by permanent system
operations. Perhaps with all our science,
useful lesson might be learned from peo-
,e so ignorant as the Turks, who in former
mes, when they had exclusive control of
te mouth of the Danube, kept down the bar
7 the simple expedient of obliging every
sssel that went to sea from that river, to
rag harrow alter her Since this regula-
on has been disused, the. depth of water
materially diminished.

one of the large engines, we believe can be
easily repaired, and without much outlay;

be made ready in short time. Enterprise
and pluck seem to be the new company's
motto

When Hahn was elected Z. s. Senator sub
sequently to the formation of the constitu-
tion, and resigned Wells became Governor
ex-officio. He has never been appointed
military Governor, so far as we know, but he
arrogated to himself all the functions of one,
as previously exercised, and has held out
the idea that the President backed him up
in all this assumption of power. The pres
ent Mayor was appointed by him, and is in
fact the shrewder man of the two though
Wells is gate astute and keen himself
Now the Legislature, being largely COM
posed OF reconstructed people are told that
if they urge the Governor, who now holds
under popular election in November last,
and of course under the constitution of 1864,
to permit the people to select their own Off
GERS at the risk of letting in late rebels, they
will 60 counter to the designs of the Govern
ment, which expects Gov. Wells to preserve
in his hands the balance of power The
Governor has now all the patronage of the
State, and ofthe city, which is greater than
that Of the State, in his hands, but contrary
both to the constitution and the laws; yet
he is only Governor through the constitution,
and not by military or provisional appoint
ment
These commissioners go on now TO learn
definitely and distinctly from the President,
whether III any event it is his purpose to in
terfere with the State government especial
ly by preventing the carrying of the constitu-
tion and laws into action, even should
action result in the impeachment and re-

QUEEN VICTORIA REPLIES TO A
SUIToR,-Soon after the death Of
Prince Albert, the sooty Emperor
Theodorous, of Abyssinia, hearing
of that melancholy event, and NOV
ed probably by sympathy for the
unfortunate widow, sent to Queen
Victoria formal proposal Of mar
riage. The offer was treated with
silent contempt. His sable Majesty,
after waiting some time, came to the
conclusion that he was Intentional
ly insulted, and, out Of revenge,
seized the principal Englismen then
within his dominions. By the latest
accounts there is reason to fear that
all the prisoners, as well as an en-
voy sent out to their succor, have
been put to death. Queen Victoria
has been induced to dispatch to her
savage sutton an autograph letter, in
the hope of securing the release of
the subjects, if they are not already
released by death.

1THE LOST CAUSE.-THE Bangor
(Maine) Democrat thus speaks of
Mr.. Pollards History
The style of the work is pleasant
and attractive, and frequently very
graphic. As history of the great
Southern struggle, it is undoubted-
ly mainly correct. =.
This book reveals one fact that
will surprise the most of Northern
readers, and that is the very small
number of troops with which the
South fought all their great battles.
Thus, the great battle of the Wilder
ness against Gen. Grants army of
nearly 100000 men, was fought by
Gen. Lee with only forty thousand
muskets, and in all TINT long stfug-
gle from the Rapidan to the James,
Lee had but $4,000 different men
from the beginning to the end.
Wsilss this history is exceedingly
entertaining and has great merit, it
docs evident injustice to Jefferson
Davis. The author is very strong
partisan and was a bitter opponent
Of Mr.. Davis administration. But
the time has not yet come for his
tory Of the late war which shall dc
impartial Justice to each Of the great
actors in that great drama.
Meanwhile, however. we would
recommend to all who can afford it,
70 possess themselves Of this book.
