New Orleans, ana lower Louisiana in particular,
1t Is therefore possible that by diigent search We
mlght discover in the former State archives, kept
at the seat Of government in Baton Rouge, the
papers that would confirm our traditional notions.
BUT as we said upon some former OCCASION this is
NOT necessary for our purpose we do not pretend
TO any positive, historical accuracy in these fugi-
1--WE sketches and it sutces to indicate the ancient
landmarks, as it We're, and leave the visitors to
form their own conjeetures upon the probability of
popular dicdon in that respect So, we would
mention that the fine old residence upon James
HopEinss plantation, near the crossing of lie
Pontehartrain railroad and GENTLY station. is
generally accounted as one OF the old buildings nf
the Jesuit Fathers, so long stationed upon that
bayou and at one time having the most extensive
indigo plantation in that vicinity Now, let our
readers again take notice of another most ancient
looking creole mansion, also hidden by multitude
of fruit trees, live oaks, bushes and shrubbery at
the Bayou Road and Broad street, formerly near
the omnibus station. The examination of these
old fashioned structures is worth ones attention
not only to indicate the vast change in the arehi-
tectural tastes of our inhabitants but also to give
our present generation to understand in what easy
or primeval manner our ancestors used to live out
in the country. The wide gallery and the low, |
under.hoor cellars-not underground but above
the soll-do indeed demonstrate in what way the |
people then endeavored to procure the cooling air
and the necessary reservoirs or storerooms, for
their provisions, Both these old fashioned remains
of former times are upon the road towards the
Fair Grounds race course and therefore worth
ones while for momentary glance and inspection,

WEST YIRGINIA.-The returns thus far received
from the recent voting in West Virginia on the
constitutional amendment denying the right of
suffrage to Confederates show a large majority in
favor Of the amendment. We have the following

This makes integrity fidelity and character sub.
jeet of financial estimate. The inspectors of the
new enterprise yersed in all the mysteries of hU-
man nature, will scan the anteceients and study
the habits and proclyites of a youthful hduciary
with as much system, precision and certainty as
other insurance agents inspect the boilers Of a
steamboat, the timbers Of q merchantmen, or the
roof and ehinnies of four story brick cotton
mill. .....
But if fidelity in business can be made subject
of insurance why may not fidelity in other matters
be brought within the same category The next
enterprise we hear of may be a grand consolida-
ted domestic fidelity insurance association, where
by, on payment Of moderate but variable sum,
uncertain. husbands and distrustful wives may
secure pecuniary consolation for the worst mis-.
fortune foreshadowed by their fears. Thus they
may secure quietude by day and sweet dreams by
night and bid glad farewell to the green eyed
monster which Knocks the meat it feeds ON 1t
is a rational presumption that, in the progress of
insurance as a science, everything which is valu-
able to men and subject to loss, will become a
matter for policies and premiums.

ANEwFrEID FOR RADICAL BENEvoEEucE

the ingenuity of the radicals having apparently
exhausted itself on the "niggern BY tile various
declarations Of his equality with the white race
and by the legislation which seeks to render him
practically superior to the Caucasian, we would,
in all Difference to the superior intelligence Of the
sanity representatives Of Faneul Hall, suggest a
new subject on which to apply their doctrines of
universal philanthropy. We do not see Why they
should repose upon the laurels they have gathered
in the contest over the freedmen, when there is vet
another inferior race to be elevated to the standard
Of New England excelenee-when yet another
world demands the application of their peculiar
doctrines of philanthropy
From several incidents of recent occurrence, we
are led to believe that deep laid plot exist in
certain evil disposed minds, to subiugate to the
will Of the white man another inhabitant of the
African wilds, who has been accustomed to roam
his native forests in all the pride Of conscious in
dependence, and to indulge his gatherings in all
the simplicity of primeyal innocence, uncorrupted
by deleterious contact with the cruel white man.
The nature of this plot was recently discovered
BY q shreWd detective in Washington CITY. who,
observing two persons engaged in an exciting CON
yersaton, listened attentEely to the pufport of
the dialogue. The younger Of the two parties to
the cOuFeFsauony Will q satanic expression of
countenance, which clearly revealed his rebellious
proclivities, was heard to exclaim--at the same
time employing the most violent gesteulation-''I

two mortal weeks, and can get no satisfaction.
No one viii listen 70 my application, They viii

loss OF LIFE BY THE WAR.

OF the loss of life directly and indirectly at
tributed to the war, it will be impossible 80 make
any accurate calculation All that we could ex-
pect to arrive at would be report Of the deaths
of men actually serving III the army on one side or
the other Those who died at home of disease
conractedin the field, or after discharge of wounds
received in the service must be alienated from
the estimate. on aeoountof the impossibility under
our present statistical system of enumerating
them. OF the loss of lie on the Confederate side
no account has yet been taken. We presume that
the documents exist which might form the basis
for an approximate calculation but at present
they are not accessible. Official reports of the
various battles and combats of the war were
made to the department at Richmond, and also
reports Of deaths by disease to the surgeon
general. These reports, Of course did not include
the casualties of the last few months operations,
or the deaths from disease during the last quarter;
but if we had the remainder of the figures we
might, by making reasonable allowance for this
deficiency, arrive at something like a true result
In the case of the United States forces we have
data of a more certain character. The records OF
the provost marshal generals office have been
examined with the view Of ascertaining the mum
Der Of deaths in the army, and the information
thus obtained has been published By these re-
cords it seems that from first to last the number
of men enlisted in the United States army, ex
elusive of regulars, was 2688,52S, distributed as
New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-06-09

from this statement it appears that 522l officers
and %, ,s88 enlisted men, died from the casualties
OF battle OF one officer for IS men, while 232l Off
GERS and 49, 0l0 enlisted men died Of disease, or
one officer for 80men.
The number of white troops enlisted was almost
exactly 2,5o0,O0O men the number Of deaths
among them 25l, ,t22, Or one death out Of 10. The
number Of colored troops was $4,000, Of whom
29,29S died, or about one out of six. The death
rate Of the colored troops was therefore nearly
double that Of the white; but the death rate from
disease alone was far worse than this. Out of
every eight deaths among the white troops, three
died on the field Of battle and five from disease.
Out Of every nine deaths among the blacks one
died on the field Of battle and eight from disease
The above tables show that the regular service
is far safer both on the battle field and III the hos
pital, than the volunteer force. Out of the same
number Of troops Of either force, seven volunteers
would die to six regulars the mortality among The
former was nearly 10 per cent. greater than among
the latter.

Of this number, 2, ,4Os los survived the war; or
left the army alive; thus leaving total Of ESQ.,
420 known deaths. OF these, G0000 were killed
outright in battle $4,000 died of wounds. and
$4,000 died ofdisease; in hospital or tent or by
the wayside. The exact figures are 96 089, against
184,35I. This shows, it is true, as it has often
been shown before, that the shafts of disease are
more deadly to the soldier than the bullet or the
bayonet; but it likewise exhibits a proportion of
Fioient deaths entirely unparalleled, we believe,
in the annals Of modern warfare. Thus, in the
United States army, two persons died BY disease
where one was killed Or died from wounds-that
is to say, the proportion of violent deaths to the
whole was as 1888 to 100. IN the Crimean war
the mortality among the British troops was by
disease. and only by the casualties Of battle
that to say, the proportion Of violent deaths to
the whole number was as 12.5 to 100 In January. /.
1855, the month Of greatest mortality, 81 per
cent. Of the deaths were caused by disease.
