A Plea for the Children.

Don't expect too much Of them; it
has taken forty years, it may be, to
make you what you are, with all their
lessons of experience and / dare say
you are O. fool-faulty being at best.
Above all, don't expect judgment in a
child or patience under trials, sympa-
thize in their mistakes and troubles !;
don't ridicule them. | once saw a
little restless, inquisitive child ask a
grown person what he was doing |?
"Grinding pepper" the man said, "for
the meat" Not an idea had the boy
of four years Of the properties of that
pungent spice. ssLet me taste it," he
said, sand see what it is like ?"
"No smell it, said the man, and the
little fellow buried his face in large
box full. Of course his eyes were
nearly put out, and this human brute
laughed heartily. To this day the
child regards him with the
greatest detestation that no adj
vance can conquer, and no
wonder. Remember not to measure
child's trials by your standard. sAs
one whom his mother comforteth,"

Interview Between the Louisiana
Commissioner and President
johnson. n r FtY

If the subjoined statement be true, il
will be seen that Gen Taylor, by author
ity ofthc Louisiana legislature, commu-
nicated to the President the readiness
of that body topass laws in conformi-
ty to the military bill--a fact which
has since been demonstrated by the
adoption of the Address, which we
published few days since. The
President, it is reported, admonished
the people to take such course, as in
their opinion, would best subserve
their interest. He did not encourage
them with the hope that the Supreme
Court would come to their relief" or
that he would in any way interfere to
prevent the military -measures taking
full effect--a truly ominous silence,
when it is remembered that these
measures are in direct conflict with
his own policy and all his pledges to
the people of the late Confederate
States The President does not adj
wise us, but by his example he tells us
that he has played his last card-ex-
hausted all his resources by his
prompt execution Of the obnoxious
measures, points out a course of action

Dispatches to the New Orleans Crescent:
Gen. Taylor had An interview with the
President to-day, which lasted about an
hour.
The General stated that the object Of his
mission from the Legislature was that of OBJ
tanning from the President his views on the
and that he felt authorized to say
that the Legislature proposed passing laws
in conformity with the provisions of the mil
tary bill; and fully to accept all the necessi-
lies of the situation.
The President, in effect confined himself
10 the proposition that the people of Louisi-
ma should wisely consult their interests
md act for the best and most lasting protec- |
ion of them. Beyond this he seemed disin-
lined to commit himself to any explicit ,
opinion or recommendation, either in refer
nee to the affairs of Louisiana, or to gener-
i politics &

ton into immediate consideration and

In 1854, this man was traversing the

who declared that he had fraudulently
converted to his own use funds and
property entrusted to him for the ben

and a thorough investigation made
upon his conduct in the premises. The
