Gen. Santa Anna is very busy at Staten
Island with his preparations for active opera
tions upon Macmillan. Among the omcers
who have offered him their services Is Gen
Sweeney, late of the Roberts branch o. the
fenians. Gen. Sweeney lost an arm in fight

the other and his neck fighting for the same

The Fair.

Up to the present writing we have 70
ceived nothing from the great Fair in New
Orleans except the opening address of Mr.
Burwell, which occupies whole side of the
bulletin in type so small that we cannot
read it except with q !" double magnifyng
glass OF hextra power" as Sam Weller
would say. We have been to a good many
OF these fairs, and our experience is that
when men are crazy to see the premium
bulls, stud horses and jackasses, an address
which discusses everything from the flood
to the present time is generally voted an
unmitigated bore. So we thiuk our New
Orleans friends will find it, and we have no
doubt that this feature of the exhibition
will be Abandoned in future.

War Poetry Of the South

We are indebted to C. B. Richard
son & Co, the celebrated Southern
publishing house in New York, for
copy Of "War Poetry of the South
collected and edited by w. Gilmor
Simms, of South Carolina. The typo
graphy of the book is excellent AMI
reflects great credit on the enterprisint
house, whose iberality towards South
ern writer's has been the theme O
praise with all who have been thrown
into business relations with them.
From cursory glance at this pretty
little volume we aremuch pleased with
1t. Mr.. Simms' high reputation as a
Atterate1rshould be q sufficient guaran-
ty that selections are made with taste
and judgment. In it we recognize
many an old acquaintance, which had
a "good run " In the days of the Con-
federacy, and others which we do not
remember to have before seen in print.
Not only is almost every species Of
+" song" contained in the volume, but
almost every variety Of feeling that
could possibly be the result Of the "fine
frensy" into which the poetical talent
Of the South was worked during the
severe ordeal through which we have
recently passed. From the confident
and defiant tone which characterised
our people of all classes in the early
days Of the struggle, before we had
tasted Of the cup Of disappointment, to
the sad and plaintive notes ofgrief and
dependency which were the result of
the catastrophe, which brought despair
and desolation upon us, all find a place
in the volume before us. The book
will, we doubt not, be universally read,
and we earnestly hope that its success
may lead it's distinguished editor to
bring out second volume, for which
he says he can procure abundant mate
rial.
We annex the words of the Editors
dedication:
To THE WOMEN OF THE SOUTH, I In.
SCRIBE THIS VoLUME.-They have lost a
cause, but they have made triumph /
They have shown themselves worthy of
any manhood; and will leave record
which shall survive all the caprices of I
blme They have proved themselves
worthy Of the best womanhood, and in
their posterity, will leave no race which
shall be unworthy of the cause which is
ost, or of the mothers, sisters and wives,
Who have taught such noble lessons of viz.
'uous effect. and womanly endurance.

The Approaching Session Of Con-
gress.
ITS PROBABLE TEMpER-THE pREsr-
DENTS COURSE.
A Washington dispatch of the 18th,
to the New York Times. saws.

A Washington dispatch of the l4th
to the New York Times, says:
The reassembling of Congress-
event now less than three weeks hence
is the absorbing topic ofinterest here
since the elections. Much speculation
is INDUCED in as to the probable tenn.
per OF that body when it again con.
venes. Many seem to think that it will
start off fercely with red hot inyectiye
against the President, and the most
radical legislation by it's clear three.
fourths majority over the Presidents
veto. But calmer survey Of the pros
pect induces the belief that while Con
gress may reassemble with vigorous
determination to pursue it's chosen line
OF policy, there will be no occasion and
very little desire to indulge in passion
ate diatribes against the executive.
In nothing can Congress afford to be
more magnanimous than in it's temper.
The late canvass ought to have ex-
hausted the vocabulary Of opprobrious
eplthets and the store of proftless de-
clamation. There is something 80
grand in the completeness with which
the loyal people have indorsed Con
gress, that it can richly afford to be
totally indifferent to provocative action
OF any kind, should it be offered. and
it can equally well afford to avoid anv
unnecessary invitation on it's part
And this may be done, too, not in the
hope OF political compromise or concil-
iation, but in the cause of the dignity
OF the government, which has, through
the exhibition Of much passion and
uncalled -for-irritation on both sides
been sadly impaired. AS an earnest
friend Of Congress and its policy. I hone
to see it vindicate it's claim as dipni.
fed, statesmanlike, deliberate body
whose strength is in the patriotic and
wise character of its legislation, rather
than in the yolubility and vituperature
Of it's assaults upon a co-ordi-
nate branch Of the government.
