The Environs Of new Orleans.
NUMBER ELEVEN.

The summer Of 1916 proved very healthy one,
notwithstanding al the apprehensions on account
of the wide spread Of the waters Of the Missis-
Fsippi, through the dyke breach or lower creyasse
at McCarty's Point, in the spring Of that year
This may have been attributable to q succession
Of fine showers during the months of July and
August, precisely whilst the foods were slowly
retiring towards tbs low grounds and towards the
lake shores Of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake
Borgne. In this manner all the slime and pestien-
tial matter was seasonably removed from around
the neighborhood Of the city, and the people gene
rally enjoyed the utmost health and well being
From this general condition we must, however
except the health Of the crews of come European
as well as Northern vessels, who, not finding any
return freight at that season Of the year, had to
wait until the fall months for the receipt of coun
try produce The crews Of these ships, as also
part of tho soldiers composing the regular garri-
son ia the city of New Orleans, were more OF less
subject to bilious fcvea some Of which cases. ter
initiating fatally much reseinbed the yellow fever
disease, which one year later, iii 1917, made such
terrible havoc Ia the non-acciinated population.
We had occasion to visit in the then public hos
pitai on the ether side Of the river at the point
now called Aigicrs, some Of the crew Of the Ham
burg brig Angelica, on which we had come over
the ocean; and at the same time we noticed num-
Der 81 other patients, seafaring men d. well as sol
diers, ail suffering generally from the prevailing
bilious attacks. This was III the month Of Septem-
bct, but on shore, and in tho city proper, no one
knew Of any disease, and, as already stated every
one seemed to enjoy the remarkably pleasant
weather to their utmost capacity.

black seal informing her that the cold corpse of

only playing little strategy to avoid fulfilling his

LET US NOT BoRRow TRoUBLE. notice that
many of the Southern journals copy the Washing
ton dispatches oil Northern radical papers, and
borrow much trouble therefrom. We do not be-
lieve in such course. Trouble and difficulties
will come without being sought. The true policy
is to wait until they make their appearance upon
the stage, and then TO meet them maniuliy. There
never yet was difficulty in the pathway of lfe
bat what some means was proviledto overcome it,
It is no use to borrow trouble over matters at
Washington. We feel confident that everything
there win terminate favorably to the South. The
dispatches to the Northern radical press are mere
buncombe. circulated for mere political effect.
for just what they are worth-nothing.

THE TEST OATH.--Mr Lincoln's Attorney Gene
raj, Hon. Edward Bates, of Missouri, published a
letter in the Missouri Republican, in which he
gives his opinion Of the Congressional test oath.
He says:
Test oaths, odipus, oppressive and cowardly al
ways. are always the resort of desperate parties,
who (asviolent as timidity can make them) seize
upon this method to weaken their adEersares,
whom they are. afraid to meet in fair and open
controversy. II was of frequent occurrence dur
ing the French revolution, and one remarkable in
stance has been preserved for our instruction by
the great historian of that epoch. The two legis-
lative councils-the Ancients and the Five Hun
dred-imputing to their adversaries the crime of
Royalism, hoped by an adroit trick to get rid of
their presence in the councils, and their influence
Bepublieanism, they decreed that all the members
of the council should, on a certain day, take an
oath Of hatred to royalty.
Y; The opposition (quite as good Republicans, in
fact, as their hypocritcal oppressors) resisted as
best they could, complained and protested but
they took the oath-for they had no not on of
deserving their places in the Government and thus
to work out their wicked wiz in the inis-govern
ment of the country. And the philosophic histo-
rian dismisses the subject with this brief remark
sThis formality of an oath, SO frequently employed
by parties never could be considered as a guar
anty ithas never been anything but an annoyance
of the c0nquerors, who have taken delight in
forcing the conquered to perjure themselves
Revolutionary radicals-and our revolutionary rad
icals do but follow their example. And we may
indulge the hope that the reign of our radicals will
be made as brief as that of their great examples,
and by the same cause-their follies and their
crimes. Your friend, EDWARD Bates

A Washington disnatch says

A Washington dispatch says:
= No reduction in the revenue tax on tobacco,
whisky, cotton or petroleum is contemplated, but
the tax is likely to be increased.D 5- +e.@
Would it not be well first to collect the present
taxes on whisky and tobacco before increasing
them? During the past year the Treasury lost
more revenue on these articles than it collected.
In other words it did not collect one dollar gal
lon on the new whisky consumed, not twenty cents
per pound on tobacco smoked and chewed. Illicit
distilleries by conDivance with revenue officers,
and otherwise, let half the liquor escape taxation.
If ahigher exercise be levied, it will simply in
crease the price of the stock hand, and increase
the frauds and evasions Of the law. We believe
that two dollars gallon is higher tax than can
ever be honestly collected.
The tax on petroleum and tobacco should not be
made any greater. More revenue will not be
gained by increasing it, but frauds and temptations
to fraud and perjury viii be promoted. A correct
knowledge of human nature will admonish our
Lawmakers that three of the articles named are
now taxed to the ma Xmum Of their revenue pro-
ductiyeness, aud the second named article, whisky

from the New York Herald
FoRrREss MONROE, Jan. H. 1866 Regarding
the alleged plot to rescue JEFF. Davis, of which I
wrote IN my last letter, there no specially new
or exciting developments. rumor prevailed
that two or three vessels having suspicious parties
on them unable to satisfactorily account for their
presence here had been ordered away, but find
on investigation, there is no truth in the statement
Vessels arriving are still searched however, and a
careful watch is kept night and day upon all the
movements of all species of water craft, from the
ponderous seagoing steamer to the lightest Lilpu-
tan canoe creeping in the still midnight hours
amid the docks and shipping. steam tug with a
and not vessel, or rowboat, or boat,nan strs but
q challenge is sounded and an accounting for the
movement has to be rendered.
Much more than usual strictness is enjoined also
as to admissions inside the fort. Passes are most
rigidly examined, and undergo the supervision of
two sets Of sentries-one outside and the other in
side the main entrance-instead of only one as
formerly, couple Of saucy howitzers have,
since the excitement, been placed facing the prin-
cipal entrance, intended, of course, to extend the
primal honors of welcome--and warm welcome
it would be--to those audaeious enough to effect
an egress here otherwise than through the kindly
courtesies of the military authorities. need not
go into all the details of defensive preparations.
1t is only necessary to say that they are ample for
| any emergency.
The presumption is that JEFF. Davis, the ct qu
rum pdrs magma of all this present excitement,
knows nothing about it, Recent orders still forbid
any officer or other person saying word to him,
and he certainly would be very likely to keep
elose-mouthed on this subject if he knew anything
about it, even if there were no. order Theoretically
sealing his lips upon the subject of conversation.
1t is possible and more than probable, that he may
| find diffculty4n accounting for the extra guard
placed over himself, and the late rather abrupt
and marked change of department toward him as
prisoner. Be his thoughts and surnlises what they
may, he grins and bears it with imprisoned grace.
He still enjoys his meals, and they continue to be
made of the best the market affords; has the
| same, if not growing, relishing fondness for his
pipe; as zeaousy appreciates his daily outdoor
walks; knows no tagging interest in his daily Pc
rusal Of the papers and books allowed him. is Still
most scrapalously eareful-not to say femininely
| fastidious-upon the subject of his toilet, and

HONEST LADIEs.-A dispatch of the 18th from
Washington says
The President had an overwhelming visit yes
terday afternoon from committee of ladies head
ed by Mrs. Senator Trumbu, in all about two
hundred and fifty, who presented a petition and
vehemently urged him to reject the application
for pardon of Rs. Cox, OF Georgetown, late of
the Confederate army. These ladies are of So
ciety entitled the t'National Coored Home Asso-
ciation." They state that Cox is a large land
holder in this district. Their society has erected
buildings, in which are housed large number OF
helpless colored people, and they ask that if Cox
be pard0ned at all it shalt be on condition that he
give to their association ten acres of land aud the
buildings thereon now occupied by the associa-
ton.
These philanthropic ladies are doubtless per.
fectly wi ling that MFR. Cox shall be pardoned, u
provided they can have the privilege of robbing
him of his property. 1A-ss-T

A Rather Expensive Love Affair.

One evening last week gentleman, who
is said to possess jewel OF wife. received
intelligence in regard to business affairs that
necessitated his leaving home tor some point
up the river. He at once sought his dom
icile, changed his clothes, and after IN
forming his better half of his intended de-
parture from the city, babe her an affection
ate farewell. He then proceeded to the levee
to await the arrival of Northern Line
steamer.
Now it appears that the wife had been
carrying on rather extensive, if not Grim
inal Irritation, with handsome gentleman,
and this unexpected departure of her hus-
band afforded an opportunity for an inter
view with the handsome paramour. He was
informed of '' the situation" and at once
proceeded to the house. from whence the
confding and doting husband had but few
moments previously departed. Wewill here
drop the veil over what transpired from the
time the guilty lovers met, until l09 O'Clock
the same evening, when the following start
ling denouement consummated the disgrace
full affair.
The husband waited until 109 O'Clock for
the arrival of the expected boat, when,
tiring of patience. he concluded to return
home and postpone his departure till the
following morning. Arriving at the door of
his residence, and the lights being extin-
guished, and the house wrapped in complete
darkness, he did not wait for any one to
open the door, but unsuspectingly passed in
by the aid of his night-k key. So quietly did
he enter the house that it was not until be
was ascending the stairs, that led to his wife s
bed chamber, that she became warned of
his approach. Her paramour at once leaped
from the window to the ground, thereby
making his escape. All this transpired
without once arousng the husbands sus-
picions, and it was not until he entered the
room, lit the gas, and discovered a pair Of
strange pants lying on the floor that the
thought of his wife's guilt flashed across his
mind. He inquired of his wife how the
mysterious pants came into her room, but she
remained mute. The husband then deter
mined to examine the pants with a view tc
ascertaining who the owner might be, and in
doing so found in one of the pockets a port
monnaie containing upwards of six hundred
dollars
1t seems that in his haste to escape, the
guilty owner of the pants had taken a pail
belonging to the husband of the lady, anc
did not discover his mistake until it was toe
