there is an arrangement on top, called p91apertah
for seating twelve persons m0re of which the cost
is half that of inside travelling, unless the

On bright days, and in summer generally, the i'm

in winter, or in shower, it is deserted. Each ON

passengers any possible trouble, except the very

an Official who has charge of this department a
number telling his destination, and his place is
secured. When his bus arrives he is notified by
the loud voice Of another official who has special
care of this, andIpresenting his billet at the door

ticket fthere is but one vacant place, and he
holds No. l, that place belongs to him; if there
are five seats empty, and he has No. 6, he il

chance then; there is no pushing and .orowding-
everything is managed by system, and each EN-.

The papers from New Orleans are always read
with great deal of interest, and by them we see
you are again threatened with the almost yearly
recurring danger of crevasses indeed that all the
cotton has been destroyed in one or two parishes
by the water and frost combined. The latest
dates tell us Of the departure Of Mayor Monroe and
Alderman Nixon to Washington for special par
don; but before this reaches you we hope they
twill be exercising their rightful authority 1t i:
with much pleasure we learn of the election Of
Gen. Beauregard as President of the New Orleans
and jackson Railroad, for it is selection certain
to give satisfaction to the company, and pleasure
to the country, but more especially to the city.
| War is not yet declared between Austria Prns
sia and Italy, though each day the volcano seems
| about to burst. The late speech of the Emperor
at Au1erre is creating quite an excitement among
the Journalists The English papers say it has
annihilated all hope Of peace; that France wa:
mistress of the situation for England is in no con
dition to engage in continental war, and Russia
is occupied at home, and the contending Powers
being so nicely balanced. A letter from NJ Drouy1
de Huys, or a hint from His Majesty that ht
would take sides against the first to declare war
would have been all sufficient to preserve the Eu
ropean peace; but he has said he detested tbs
treaties of 1876 thus plainly showing he desires II
extend his boundary lines, which of course canno
be done peaeeably. Austria is entirely withou
finances at present, and how she will carry on
war without the wherewithal to pay for it is
question not easily answered. Some German wi
suggests that she issue hundred million of form
in assignats, payable at Berlin ten years hence
but the Austrian fnanciers are not in a state 0
mind to appreciate the humor of this. 1t ia tn
opinion of many that war between these tire
Powers would be the signal of a general tumul
among the nations, and that all Europe will b
shaken to its center. Verify there are wars an
