AnSEcDorE OF LAErrrE.-At Il meeting
recently held at st. Louis, for tue purpose
of forming historical society, the elders
of the city related many "reminiscences,
among which was the following story Of
the pirate Laftte ' Z
In those days were three men in the
village who used to recount their advea-
lures with the pirate as members Of his
crew. They we're once chased by an
English man-of-war. Broadside- after
broadside was fred at the pursuer-every
inch of canvass was spread to the wind
and every manouvre known to accom-
plished seamen was executed in vain
the Englishman was fast oyerhauling
them, and their shot and grape told fear
fully.
Lafitte himself was wounded in the
leg. He jumped into a barrel half foil
Of -four to staunch the blood, and from
that position waved his sword above his
head in defiance, and encouragement to
his men. Still the man-ofwar was gain
ing on them, and pouring storms Of iron
into them and their rigging. Soon the
shot gave out. charge the guns with
dollars and doubloors y cries Laftte from
the -four barrel, and in they went, for
there was plenty on board. The Eng
lishman received the dose, and amazed
and COMPOUNDED at the extreme novelty
of the missiles, wore around and quit the
action. The pirate escaped.
Although it has been established be-
You'd the cavil Of a doubt by men who
were personally acquainted with Laftte,
and whose yeracity is beyond question
that he was not a pirate, never had been
q pirate and would have held any man
responsible who declared him such, yet
sensational stories like the above will
pass around, set afloat by ignorant per~
sons fond Of the romantic and greedily
swallowed by people of the same mental
calibre. No proof has yet been brought
forward to s%ubstantiate Laftte's piracy.
He was a blacksmith by trade, would
smuggle occasionally, but never inbrued
his hands in blood under the black flag,
the stories of romancers end fctionists
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

London.
Perhaps it is by the same author who
wrote the "Bloody Black Brig of Ber-
muda," which was played many years
ago, by a Mrs. Lewis at the old Camp
street theatre in New Orleans. 1t was
a sensation piece, astonishing tho actors as
much as it did the audience. Can any of
the New Orleans press tell us if the
Mrs. Lewis referred to is still in exist

No MoRE PRoy1sIbss.-The Secretary
of War has instructed Gen. Howard, of
the Frecdmens' Bureau, to issue no more
rations to the poor and destitute of the
South after the first Of October next, ex-
cept to the sick in regularly organized
hospitals, and to orphan asylams for ref
ugees and freedmen, already established.
The State officials, WHO may be responsible
for the care Of the poor. are to be mott
fed of this order, so they may assume
charge Of such INDECENT refugees as are
not embraced in the above exception
We of course, can have nothing to say
in regard to the action of the Secretary
Of War in the matter /; but, at the pres
eut time, it is utterly impossible for the
State of Louisiana to take care and pro-
vide for her impoverished people, white
or black. The blow will fall heavily on
many Of our worthy citizens whom the
chances Of war, or the elements, have
thrust from comfortable homes upon the
charity Of a pitiless world. Another
year or two might place us in a condition
to care for these unfortunates, but, at
present, while we know Jul people are
willing to share with their unfortunate
neighbors, we cannot but believe that
much misery and wretcbedness await
the action of the Secretary of War. Let
US hope the true condition of affairs may
be made known to Secretary Stanton, and
that be may be induced to reflect before
giving effect to an order that may be the
cause of death to thousands Of whites
and blacks in the South who are otherwise
placed beyond the chances of relief.

Gentlemen who have just returned
from the Philadelphia Convention give
US more hearty assurances than any that
have come by mail or telegraph of the
good will manifested at the meeting, and
the unanimity of sentiment which pre-
vailed. The Convention was, in the best
and largest sense of the term, a Union
meeting. All past differences were ig-
nored, and the attempt of the Radical
roughs to create a riot was frowned
down by public sentiment. Philadelphia,
in all it's better elements, proved indeed
q city of brotherly love-" The cordiali-
ty Of the sections, as illustrated by the
action of South Carolina and Massachu-
sets, was the result of genuine, heart
felt sentiment Of reconciliation and no
false show of
--s'raptures conjured up,
TO serve occasions OF poetic pomp."
Clear-headed men, accustomed to cal
culate the signs of the times, confidently
anticipate a complete endorsement of the
Philadelphia Convention, both North and
South, on the first opportunity that pub
lie opinion has Of expressingitse through
the ballot-box. Radical fanaticism stands
aghast in the presence of such a great
change which is already manifest, and
the "refuge Of lies to which it has be-
taken itself will prove a source Of in
creased weakness and tribulation. Let
the good work advance With "the
Union and the Constitution as a watch.

tional fanatics and practical disunionists

on the brow of hill his face Was long.
sallow and cadaverous, shrunk, shriv-
elled, wrinkled and dry, having here
and there a hair on the surface; his
cheeks were leathery; his ears we're
large and ran out almost at right angles
from his head, caused partly by heavy
hats, and partly by nature. His lower
lip was thick, hanging and undercurved,
while his chin reached for the lip
upcurved; his neck was neat and trim,
his head being well balanced on it !;
there was the lone mole On the right
cheek, and Adams apple on his throat.
Thus stood, walked, acted and looked
Abraham Lincoln. Hewas not pretty
man by any means, nor was he an ugly
one; he was a homely man, careless
of his looks, plain looking and plain
acting. He had no pomp, display or
dignity so-called. He appeared simple
in his carriage and bearing. He was
a sad looking man; his melancholy
dripped from him as he walked. His
apparent gloom impressed his friends
and created a sympathy for him-one
means Of his great success. He was
gloomy, distracted and joyous-rather
humorous-by turns. l do not think
he knew what real joy was for more
than twenty three years. Mr.. Lincoln
sometimes walked our streets cheerily
good humoredly, perhaps joyously-
and then it was, on meeting friend,
he cried 'how d'y,' clasping one of his
friends hands in both of his, giving a
good, hearty, soul welcome. Sometimes
he might be seen vending his way to his
ofhce-to the Court House, or to the
railroad depot, with his baggage, looking
like rail in broadcloth. Of Winters
morning, he might be seen stalking and
sitting it towards the market house,
basket in arm, his old gray shawl
wrapped around his neck, his little
Willie or Tad running along at his heels,
asking thousand little quick questions,
which his father heard not, not even
then knowing that little Willie or Tad
was there, so distracted was the father.
When he met friend, he said that
something put him in mind of story
which he heard in Indiana or elsewhere,
and tell it he would, and there was no
alternative but to listen.
''Thus, l say, stood and walked and
looked that singular man. He was odd,
but when that gray eye, and face, and
every feature, were lit up by the inward
soul in fires of emotion, then it was that
all these apparently ugly features
sprang into organs of beauty, or sunk
themselves into sea of inspiration that
sometimes flooded his face. Sometimes
it appeared to me that Lincoln's soul
was just fresh from the presence of its
CreatOr.''
