Absorbing Topics.


We devote to day a very large
portion of our space to the pub.
LEGATION of particulars concerning
the terrible riot which occurred
in New Orleans last Monday, and
a variety of other important and
interesting details per telegraph
touching the successful laying Of
the Atlantic Telegraph Gable, ces-
sation Of hostilities in Europe,
Mexican news, &c.
The all-absorbing nature of these
topics, our readers will agree, JUS
tify us in alloting to them all the
space we can possibly spare.
The New Orleans riot, conse-
quent upon the persistent agita-
ton and devilish Vaccinations of
comparatively few demagogues
OF bad eminence, has had the
effect Of creating the most intense
excitement in the public mind in
every quarter where the news of it
has reached. The summary man
ner in which it was quelled, albeit
at the cost, unavoidable, it would
seem, of much blood, is an encour-
aging proof of the readiness and
determination of both the civil and
military powers to vindicate and
sustain the supremacy of the laws
and the quiet and good order Of
society. The defeat Of the Conven-
tionists and their co-disorganizers
