THE RIOT AT NEW ORLEANS.


Notwithstanding the clamor and misrepre-
sentation of the Radicals as to the origin and
extent of the bloodshed at New Orleans, the
proofs are multiplying against the incendiaries
who labored to incite the negroes to bloodshed.
Is it any wonder DR.. Dostie was killed in the
melee? In one of his speeches to the negroes
he said: "Iwant the negroes to have theright
of suffrage, and we will give them this right to
vote. There will be another meeting here TO-
morrow night, and on Monday night want
you to come in your power. ] want no cow
ards to come" Again: eve have 100000
black men with white hearts; also 100000
good and true Union white men who will fight
for and beside the black race, against the 500,
geo hell-hound rebels, for now there are but
two parties here" Again, referring to the pos
Sc con,itatus. he said: Let all brave men, and
not towards, come here on Monday. There
will be no such puerle affair as at Memphis,
bit If jnte,1ered lcith, the streets Of Ne'c Or
leans lcW run ,gih blood" He said, further:
"The black race with 100000 are bound to
rule the white race with 100000" tits sup
posed he here alluded to the numbers in Loui-
siana. Who can wonder that such man
should be a victim to his own " bloody instruc-
tons %

OBITUARY.

or the many trials to which we are subjected in
this Life the separation from those we love is the
sOrest. To say Farewell 10 dear friends when We
expect 10 meet them after brief separation, Is
trial, and deeply wounds the heart; that are tO
loose their companionship, the nameless little at
tentons which make up the sum of our daily bles
sings, invests us with gloom we cannot shake OFF,
but, when Death enters our dwellings aud removes
from our sight the partners Of our anxieties aud
pleasures, the sharer OF our gries and disappoint-
ments our expectations and triumphs, then indeed,
we feel that day of darkness aud desolation bas
cast shadow over our happy home.
Reflections of this sad, but, trust, not unprOh-
table character were naturally suggested By the re-
cent loss sustained by sorrowing household, anda
large circle ofattached friends, In the death Of Ms.
WATSON, wife of Mr.. James Watson, Of Leetown.
While fully aware Of the temptation 10 unsparing
and often undcSeryed eulogy in tributes of this
character, il is melancholy satiaction 70 feel that
we are in danger Of extravaganza In the present
inrtance. Those who bcstknewhcr will most keen.
ly t,a he inadequacy Of any language we could
cmpIoy 10 prcnerly represent that striking combi-
nation of virtues which attracted alike the Interests
of tho acquaintance of 2n hour, the devoted at
tachment of the friend Of years.
As "a Wife, fond and devoted; as Mother, loving
and iudicious. The daily beauty OF her domestic
life was an example worthy Of imitation. But now,
alas how changed the scenel She has been sum
moned to the "narrow house" appointed for all Nv
ing Friendship may seek her, but she will not DC
found, and the places that have known her must
now know her no more, forever. Yet, their loss y
her gain, for che seemed 10 behold the approach o.
death without a fear and went on her journey Ike

The Freedmen's Bureau.

The National hteVigeReer of Friday. contains
long, and final, report from Generals Steed-
man and Fullerton, on the working of the
Freedmen's Bureau in the States farther South.
The hteligeacer remarks;
The report is replete with interesting state
ments of facts, that are surely sufficient to con-
vince the most sceptical advocate Of the Bureau
that it has not only long ago ceased to be of
any practical benefit to any one whatever, ex-
cept dishonest Bureau officers and their part
ners in speculatiOns, but that its continuance
in nearly every locality in the South is.a posi-
tive curse to both whites and blacks. The Com
missioners have made honorable mention of the
honesty and efficiency Of the very few officers
of the Bureau who were found entitled to such
commentator but for the most paTt-in fact,
in nine tonths OF the cases inveesi5',vd--tne
Commissioners have been compelled toreport a
criminal reckleSsneSS in the transaction of bust
ness or positive and appalling frauds upon both
the Government and the freedmen.
This report shows beyond cavil that what
ever Of good there may have been in the origi-
nal establishment Of the Bureau, it has long
ceased to be useful, and has degenerated into a
simple instrument for the enrichment of IN
scrupulous agents. Tits shown to have become
a pregnant source of local strife, . serious OBJ
stacle to the social advancement and self-de-
pendence of the freedmen, and generally a
means Of imposing upon them a system Of OPP
preston infinitely worse and more onerous than
the slavery from which, through the fire and
carnage Of civil war, they have been emancipa-
ted.

This is the largest political asSemblage ever
