97r AFFAIRs IN LoUIsIANA.-The bad
prospect OF affairs in the interior OF
Louisiana, and along the Mississippi, is
reflected by all the accounts received
from these The following extract
of a letter from gentleman originally
from the North, now residing in Carroll
parish, Louisiana, formerly one otlthe
richest and most prosperous parishes In
the State, is in the same strain, and
shows what terrible loss there is In
the falling off in the cotton production,
under the present condition of things.
The parish In 1859 shipped 10000 bales
. OF cotton, and last year only 5000 bales.
And what are its present prospects is
Indicated by the letter: aat
money matters are extremely diff
cult here now, and business is greatly
worse than last year, with me as well
as all merchants, and the cotton crop Is
q very unpromisiDg. II is about three
weeks backward; Is young and tender;
the worm is already here, which you
will recognize as destructive to all
brightness of hopes. DR.. w. told me
to day that he would not exchange his
corn, acre with acre, for cotton. hear
OF many persons who are now plant
Ing corn. There has been great
deal OF rain tnlS mODlnS anu the
water is yet high in the rivers and
drains. The country will make an
abundance of corn, which will render
the people less dependent next thnn
they have been this year. l think 1t
will become II desideratum with the
people here to produce that which will
iced and clothe them first. The growth
of cotton will greatly diminish. Only
small portion of this parish will be in
ii condition safe to plant cotton until
the levees are reconstructed. This year
will be no better than last, which was II
failure, leaving the planter in debt.
1.-THE condition OF this country is de-
plorable from every point of view that
we can see it. entertain not the slight
est doubt that the Radicals will, by
their black aids, tyranny, disfranchis-
ing, etc., carry every Southern State.
Then what good can we expect from
their diplomacy at both the head and
foot or the Government? What has
got into the sober, sensible portion of
the people OF Pennsylvania, that they
do not put forth their arms to arrest
the progress of this mad legislation?
Their passive policy is certainly suici-
dal. They will feel these blows on
their own heads ultimately, and when
1t may be too late to remedy. Some of
our people Aretalking strongly of NOV
ing to British Honduras, and others in
to the far.back valleys of Texas. The
public mind is totally unsettled"

Peoples Thoughts Impressed Upon
Their Faees---How u Liar is Some
timea Detected



One of the most interesting branches
OF physiognomy would be tue study oi
that influence which a frequent repetl.
ton of analogous sentiments and
thoughts exercises on the countenance.
Difficult as this examination is, its OBJ.
ject is not chimericaI. Often-recurring
emotions act on the features like those
geological changes by which rock is
cit her gradually disintegrated, or slow
ly raised up to u higher level. Close
observations can esta blish II relation be-
tween an expression and the fact that is
most likely TO have einfuenced 1t. Thus
II may be ascertained that there is an in
describable sort of flash or light in the
eye of a person telling a falsehood, as il
the mind was making an effort, as II
were, to swerve from the truth, thereby
causing more nervous power to be
evolved from the eye than on usual oc-
casions. Frequent acts of deception
imprint peculiar cast TO the features.
Again, frequent mental labor appends
its signet to the features; and a num-
ber OF occupations leave their stamp on
the face. Who can not discover the
gambler as he promenRdes Broadway
Dress him as you will put on him the
bIackest of broadoloth. and the whitest
neckcloth, and you cannot disguise the
hard, coarse features which his thoughts
and mind have chiseled on his face.

THE GROWTH OF OUR CoUSTRY.-The
New York Post, in an editorial, dwells
upon the rapid march of civilization
and commerce westward, and adds:
"Our population, reinforced by an
enormous Immigration from Europe,
lit tells us, is spreading over the corei-
nenl with marvellous rapidity. There
is no longer "far Vest" the arts and
customs OF civilization are already
naturalized over nearly the whole Of
the great region through which Lewis
and Clark journeyed at the hazard of
their lives little more than half CEN
tury ago, and which was then as utter
Iy unknown as a great part of Africa.
i he Rocky Mountains no longer op-
pose their barrier to our progress; the
western frontiersman ridicules them in
stead of fears them; and a western wit
expresses, in the peculiar manner of the
men who ''sleeP on the prairie and
drink out OF the rivers" his contempt
for such slight distractions by the re-
mark: ave are already levelling the
Rocky Mountains and cartlng the dirt

y COUNTRY school teacher, preparing
for an exhibition of his school, selected
class of pupils, and wrote down the
questions, and answers to the questions,
which he was TO put to them on exam
ination day. The day came, and SO
came the young hopefuls, all but one.
The pupils took their places, as had
been arranged, and all went on glibly
until the question came for the absen-
Tee, when the teacher asked =" In whom
do You believer" Napoleon Bona
porte" "You believe in the Holy
Catholic Church, do you not ?" "No,'
said the pupil, amid the roars of laugh
ter, 1.-THE boy who believes in the church

street Cars In st. LOuis---SiN Cent
Fares Objected 10.
In st. Louis an attempt has been
made by one of the street railroad 'om-
panies to put up the tare from five TO
six cents. The papers and the people
are down on the attempt, as a matter
of course. Six cents does not look TO
us here in Wheeling, who have just
begun to experience the luxury and
convenience of street cars, as an extor-
tionate rate, but 1t seems to be viewed
in that light at st. Louis. We read in
the Republican, of Thursday, the fol-
ing incident, Illustrative of the feeling
that prevails:
Yesterday u man who got on Fourth
street car concluded that five cents was
enough to pay for ride on that line,
since all the other street railroad com
panIes had come down to such a figure.
He declined to accede to the conductors
demand for six cents. The conductor
stopped the car. The passenger was In
no hurry. Sitting there in the shade,
and probably having no urgent busi-
ness 10 require him to walk, the passen- :
ger felt quite comfortable, and appeared
10 enjoy the contrary feeling on the part
of the conductor, who declined to pro-
ceed with the vehicle until the man
''came down" with the extra cent. All
persuasions to Induce the traveller to
come to terms were unaVaillng, as he
had evidently made up his mind to
ride for five cents, and appeared TO dare
the conductor 10 help himself. The
conductor, either afraid to put the man
off, or doubling his right to do SO, was,
for half an hour or so, in quandary.
Meantime, some ten or dozen cars
came up and stopped. A large crowd
collected. Finally, as the obstinate
passenger refused to give in, he was al
lowed 10 have his own way; the train
of cars moved of in body, and the
crowd dispersed, shouting Justify at
this triumph of "A single-handed indi-
yidual over what is almost universally
regarded as an imposition on the part
of the railroad company.
The six cent business as attempted to
be inaugurated by some OF the street
railroad companies, is miserable fall
ure, as it deserves to be. The Fourth
street lines will have to succumb; the
people will not submit TO the extra
charge; they will either decline to pay
it, or they will refuse 10 ride in the
ears. THIS thing might as well be un-
derstoOd first as last.

~ OF FaITmOuI, but more Recently
or MOundSVIIIe.
aLy Dear old Friend InteIligencer:
How miss your bright, happy, in
telligent face since L have been away
here in the "Mountain City" of this
noble little "Green Mountain State!'
You used to come into my office regu-
larly every morning Except SAbbath)
at or IL o'clock. But have not seen
you, or an extract from you. for three
months. You are not dead, / know, or
L should have heard of your funeral,
for you have played too conspicuous a
part in the saving of this country, and
especially West Virginia, from the
clutches of traitors, treason and rebel
lion to pass away "unhOnored and un-
sung" Now want you to make me
IA visit to Montpelier, VT, once n week
at least, from the time you get this note
till otherwise ordered, for it seems to
me that can't 'keep house" any long
er without you.
But 1 wish, briefly, TO say TO my
inquiring friends In West Virginia, that
the reason why 1 abandoned the legal
profession and resumed the ministry,
is AS follows: For nearly six years
had been in business, and 80 far az
making money was concerned, succeed
ed well; but during all those long years
l found no "rest for my SOUL" The
vows of God were upon me, and could
not conceal them; the "Woe is me IL L
preach not the gospel" was continually
in my mind. Life and time were flee
ing more and more rapidly every day,
and while L tried to maintain con
science void of offence toward God and
man." yet it all did not answer, and L
was literally driven back to the zone
work." Two aged persons, a father-in-
law and mother in law, demanded some
care and assistance. and an interview
with Bishop Ames convinced me that
for the present it was my duty to work
in the Vermont Conference. l was
offered this (Montpelier) station, the
first in Importance in the State, and
also the editorial management OF the
Messenger, our conference paper, pub.
lIshed here, the whole promising a sal
ary of some Sl4OO; so l thought 1t a
good opening, and providentlal. am
not conducting the Messenger, as l
found that the work would be much
more than could do and attend to my
pulpit and pastoral duties; but write
every week on "a salary, which helps me
in my support. Let me say to every
young minister, If you feel called 10
this work, ncVer abandon IL for any po.
sition. I. b. TAYLOR.

MARK TWAIN on THE WING.-The
first of the letters from the Mediterra-
mean excursionists, of whom this hu-
tnorous writer is one, appeared In the
Tribune yesterday morning. 1t is rather
beyond his repute as comic writer,
though hardly equal to his standard ms
lecturer. A comical point is made of
II western youth, who becomes disgust
ed with his newly-purchused watch,
because it is continually disagreeing
with the "ship's time, +" which of course
Is in accordance with the vessels lon-
Eitude, as ascertained by daily obser-
vations. Persons who have been in
Pnrtugese colonies, or in Brazil, will
appreciate TO the utmost the consterna-
tIon with which the excursionists re.
csived their bill for n dinner at the
Azores:
Ten dinners, at 5000 reisr Ruin

nity. think 1t was the blankest look
Ing party I ever saw. Nobody could
sav IA word. It was us IL every
soul had suddenly been stricken dumb.
Wine glasses descended slowly to the
table, their contents untasted. Cigars
dropped uunoted from nerveless nm
gers. Each mHu sought his neighbour s
eye, but found in 1t no ray of hope.
no encouragement. AT last the fearful
silence was broken. The shadow of u
desperate resolve settled down upon
Blucher's c0untenance- like a cloud,
md he rose up and said
Landlord, This is wretched, mean
swindle, and I'll never, never stand
IL! Here's $3.50, sir, and it's all you'll
get. I'll swim in blood, sir, before I'll
pay cent morel'
Our spirits rose, and the landlord g
iell-at least we thought so; he was
confused at any rate, Notwithstanding
tie had not understood word that had
been said. He glanced from the little
pile of gold pieces to Blucher several
lines, and then went out. He must
have visited an American, for, when he
returned, he brought back his bill
