whether he knew or had ever seen the great

Gen. Sheridan, it appears, has lost no time
in acting upon the sentiments expressed in
his letter of instructions to the United States
officer in command of the Brownsville dis
trict, relative to the factions contending for
supremacy in Republican Mexico. He has
caused Ortega to be arrested, thereby pre-
venting that General from crossing the Rio
Grande into the State of Tamaulipas, where
a number of his partisans were awaiting his
arrival. This action of Gen. Sheridan's is in
strict accordance with the policy of the Uni
ted States Government, which recognizes Ju-
arez as the legitimate President Of Mexico.
Ortega has protested but the moral effect
of his arrest will be fatal to his cause.

Legislature of North-Carolina.

LeSlSldture OF NOItHsCdIOiAuds
The Legislature of this State assembled in
this City on Monday last See proceedings
of first days session in another part of this
paper.
In the Senate, Hon. M. E. Manly, anti
Howard amendment and old secession Wing,
was elected Speaker; and in the Commons,
R. Y. McAden, Esq. anti-Howard amend
ment and old secession Wing, was elected
Speaker Neither of these gentlemen has
been regarded as belonging to the original
secession party, but they are identified with
the Worth Vance Graham faction. They
are in this State what Stephens is in Georgia.
They began to fight late, were not thoroughly
subjugated, and now want their rights
They will be apt to get them. Personally
they are clever gentlemen, and will make
good presiding officers.
The Union men of course had no showing
in the organization of the two Houses. Their
very touch is regarded as communicating to
the chivalry" When they attempted to
make choice between those in nomination,
the more bitter of the jeff Davis Radicals at
once left the candidate voted for by them,
and went to the most ultra Radical in nomi-
nation
1t IS significant fact that though both
the Speakers referred to the peril in which
the State is placed at this time, no allusion
was made to the American Union That
concern is considered obsolete by those in
power in this State. Judge Manly was
pleased to say that Z" our liberties were not
oholIy lost" With the exception of the
nameless horrors of the CONSUMPTION and mob
law, We move amid the same scenes, breathe
the same atmosphere, and hear the same SEN
timents we heard during the rebellion.
The message of Gov. Worth will be sent
in to-day, Tuesday. We expect to publish
it in our next.

NASHVILLE, November 1.-THE Legisla-

LOUISIANA CRoPs.-Louisiana planters are
in good spirits. They have been remarka-
bly, favored in gathering their cotton and the
cane has rpened well. One planter has al
ready made seventy five hogsheads of sugar
in single week and will make altogether
this season 400 hogsheads. The Baton Rouge
AdUcate, 9Th inst, says:
The cotton picking is pretty generally
finished, and but little remains to be gather
ed. The general frost has stopped the ma
turing of the few unopened bolls, and the
tale of the cotton crop is told That it will
reach million of bales is question open
and debatable Some think it will not, and
few, if any, claim that it will be in excess
of that number.
The Houma Sivic Guard, of the Sd, has
the following:
Since our last issue several planters have
commenced rolling. From all we can learn
the yield peracre will prove an average one.
The weather continues very fine.
Cotton pickers have had splendid season
for saving their crops Cane has magnif-
ficent season for ripening. Hay makers have
been greatly favored. Gardens have been
thirsty, but where they have been properly
worked, they have not yet suffered much.

Texas and Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, Nov 14-Arcounts from
Texas and Upper Louisiana announce crops
nearly all gathered, and the rains which have
now set in, if general, as they appear to be,
will prevent the saving of much more. Cot
ton is now coming in freely and will soon be
in the market, but business is small, owing
to the knowledge of the crop being small.

Opinion Of Rebel Judge-The Rebel State
Governments Valid.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 16.-The Superior
Court of Mississippi decided that the State
never lost its Organization as government
by reason of secession or war, but that it was
in all respects, not only de tacto but de jars,
State; and that the functions Of the gov
eminent we've rightly and constitutionalfy
exercised by those who exercised the execu-
tive, Legislative, and judicial functions dur
ing that time within the State.
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Judge Harris.
Judge ]. Shellyberger, of Mississippi, also
decided that sales and executary contracts
made before the surrender, founded upon
Confederate treasury notes as consideration
were valid, and can be enforced now.
Judge Clayton some time since decided to
the contrary.
These cases go to the Supreme Court for
adjudication.
