"REMINISCENCES oF THE WAR.-A
correspondent of the New Orleans
Crescent has visited Mr. Davis.
Among other things the correspondent
says:
Mr. Davis seemed always glad to
converse about his friends and advis-
crs during the late war, and his re-
marks were tinged with deep and
tender feeling. lie referred in glow
ing terms 10 Wade Hampton, and
dwe.t with sympathy on the recollec-

tho scene on the battlefield where the
father saw his two sons struck down
but, stopping only for n moments
regret, rode on into the thickest Of
the fight or General Preston, Of
Kentucky, he also spoke in the kind
est manner 1t was astonishing to
find how many persons with whom he
had only n slight acquaintance were
distinctly remembered All the Mis-.
sissippians seemed TO have . promi-
ncnt place in his memory, and nearly
every Confederate Official OF any dis
tinctiou was recalled by name or rep

NAPOLEON TO ABDIcATE.-There is
a rumor in France that on the success
ful closing of the great exhibition in
Paris next year, the Emperor Napole-
on, the report says, will announce his
abdication from the throne. The
Emperor, besides being too i'll to bear
up any longer with the cares and re-
sponsibilities of state, is also a super
stitious man, and fancies he sees in
the recent checks which his diplomacy
has received from Prussia, Italy and
America the forerunner Of successive
and serious disasters, and hint that
il is high time for him to retire from
the scene if he wishes to retain the
reputation Of being the greatest man
in Europe.

There have been more marriages
and giving in marriage in our city with
in the last few days than we are able
to count up. Young folks were inyi-
ted, but old folks, married folks, grey
boards and the like were in the main
left out. That is all nonsense. 1t is
well enough to teach young folks a
lesson, but the old ones know what s
what and like to see familiar, pleasant
scenes, re-enacted.- Natchez Courier.
You are right, friend Courier in con
demning the practice Of leaving out
sold folks when extending invitations
to see love assauged by marriage-to
witness the concealed comforts Of a
man locked up in woman's faith, the
perpetual fountain ofdomestic sweets.
'Tis a custom that should be dispensed
with.

PAEFUL.--The New York Tribune,
speaking Of the movement Of the
planters to encourage industry in the
South, says lugubriously "They pro
pose to cheat the Government out Of
the tax on cotton by having it manu-
factured at home. Poor, rickety,
old Government, that is going to be
injured by the increasing industry Of
the people living under it. No doubt
IL the South should be slothful and
negligent, out Of her natural wealth
the harpies OF New England would
thrive and fatten and that section In
which the Tribune lives would have a
temporary vitality by preying on the
vitality Of the country. 1t would only
be temporary, aud the South in reality.
by being driven to other branches Of
industry to avoid this unequal tax, is
adding to the wealth Of the country
but If it was not, the gross injustice
Of The tax should cause its obolition.
