EUGENE IN THE CHOLERA HosPITADs.- Paris
letter gives the following account of the recent
visit of the Empress of the French to Amens:
At the station but FIVE persons project, the
mayor, the bishop, the procureur general and
Madame Gonneau-7reeeived her majesty, who in
stantly drove to the Hotel Diem. She not only en-
tered every cholera ward but stood for some min
the hand of eaeh--in most instances already damp
with the deWs of death--bentlow to catch the an
swers to her thoughtful inquiries. AS she was
about to quit the hospital she perceived two little
children weeping bitterly. ~
They had Just heard Of the death Of their last
parent The empress, kissing the forehead of
the little girl, Immediately said, Je les adoptel
Among those who were showing symptoms Of
convalescenee was young English girl SEN
fenced to three months incarceration and who
had been removed from the town prison to the
hospital on being seized with illness. The poor
girl, encouraged by the sYmpathizing expression
and gentle kindness of the empress, ventured to
implore her to intereede for her release, which
Of COURSE she is certain Of obtaining.
From the Hotel Dieu her Majesty went to the
prefecture, where the ladies OF the town were as
sembled to meet her. She excused herself from
the ceremony of presentation, regretting the
shortness of time at her disposal, and merely bow
ing as she passed through the salon, partoOk of a
nasty luncheon and started with as little delay as
possible tor the charitable refuge in the Fanbourg
No2ou, thence to the Maison des Petites Sour des
Pauyres, which visit was specially gratifying as
its inmates are of the poorest and lowest class of
society; thence to the Maison de Secours de Notre
Dame de st. Sen, to Gazette, and TO ST. jacques
At each Of these institutions it was remarked
that she remained longest By the side of thedying
and worst cases. TO describe the enthusiasm, ex-
cited by the visit to this plague,strickeu city, is
impossible. For hours after she had Quilted the
sick wards the poor suffering patients repeated to
each other the words OF encouragement and OF
religion and consolation this gracious woman had
poured on their despairing hearts. Before the

THE FLAG STORY The wonderful story Of
the capture Of Gov Wells, by two Confed-
crate flags originated with the correspond
emit Of the New York Tribune in this city.

to have dreamed dreams and seen visions sur
passing those Of anybody since the days Of John
ofPatmos Sincehe dispatched his memorable
kilograms announcing the marvellous doings

concerning the official who was the object Of
50 singular capture, and We aye, therefore,

In his letter puTporting to give an account
Of the riot the correspondent is a little more

gram. But the nearer he approaches to
precision, the further be wanders from truth
In lis letter he says that at this time ~

men appeared on tho ground in force, with
two Confederate flags and playing Dixie, and
fully armed But even in this form there is
melancholy oEseurity in the story, sugges-
tive Of highly aistempered fancy The
writer leaves US painfully ii doubt whether
the two Confederate tlags here alludedto were
really playing Dixie, and fully armed, or
whether ii was the firemen that exhibited this
strange propensity to play Dixie and murder
Union men. The idea Of some mysterious
power in reconcile Confederate flags, to ap-
pear at critical moments, and do something
extraordinary, like capturing Governor Wells,
playing Dixie, and arnning themselves for
combat, seems to have firm hold Of this cor
respondents mind.
We presume, Of course, that this flag story
will be dwelt upon BY the Northern radical
press as Q conspicuous evidence Of he con-
frmed disIoyaltyR Of the people Of New
Orleans. We do not suppose that they viii
ever correct It, and we do not care whether
they "a correct itor not But We desire the
anti-raaical press and the reasoning public to
knowthat there is not one word of truth-not
even symptom of truth-in the story Il is
false from beginning to end. The fremen
did net appear on the ground fully armed and
playing Dixie they did not in fact appear at
all. They did not have two Confederate fiags
or one Confederate flag, 81 any Confederate

We desire to ask the editor of the
rebel organ in this city few questions.
They shall be as brief and pointed as
possible. He has not yet told us wheth-
er he endorses or repudiates Andrew
Johnson's letter to Governor Sharkey,
of Mississippi, urging upon the people
of that State the adoption of negro
suffrage. The letter is printed every
dav at the head of our columns. Does
the editor of the rebel sheet endorse the
Presidents advocacy of negro suffrage
as expressed in that letter? Will he
give US an answer, yes or no?
I'd We desire to know from the
editor of the rebel sheet wheth-
er he endorses what the President

"HumbIe IndIvI,luel,, os CATO.

l"HumbIe IndiVidual'' as Cato.
Fred Hassaureck in recent speech
at Cincinnati, showed up Stewards
comparison of johnson to Cato in the
following paragraph
Mr.. Seward said-I believe it was at
Louisville-that he thanked God that
we had a Cato and not n Caesar in the
Presidential chuir, for the one saved
the country, while the other would have
destroyed it. Now, Mr.. Seward may
be very good scholar, but it seems be
did not notice the difference between
the Roman Empire then and the
American Republic now. Cesar did
not destroy the former. 1t was totter-
ing to its grave; it was rotten and de-
cayed and Cesar merely struck the
last blow. No Cato could have saved
it for it was beyond the possibility of
salvation, while our country emerged
the greatest power on the
globe. Cato was a leader of the
Roman aristocracy, and plebian by
birth. Andy johnson is Il plebian by
birth, but deserted to the party of The
aristocracy. Cato belonged to the stole
school of philosophy; Andy johnson
belongs to the epicurean persuasion.
Cato was pednntic old man, always
anxious to initiate the ancients, and
Merivale says OF him that he Swallow
ed wine with joylesS aVidity, in order
to emulate the bnrbarous enjoyment of
the ancients;" of Andy Johnson, how
ever, it has not yet been said that the
avidity with which he swallows his
beverage is iOyless. Cato was morose
and taciturn, while Andy johnson is
eloquent and loquaciOus. The only
point of resemblance that I can dis
cover between the two is their end.
Cato committed physical suicide, and
| ANDY Johnson has committed DOlitiCol
suicide; and if there should be Il coro-
ner's inquest over his political corpse,
the verdict will Bodied of too much
eloQuence.
