NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 20, 1867.
The city is crowded with visitors
who were curious TO witness the I'M
posing ceremonies attending the oiS-
intermcnt of Gen. Johnston, ana tie
burial of eX- Governor Allen. III thiS
tllrong of spectators, | was reloleea
to meet very gallant friend, COL
Andrew jackson of Tennessee, the
Iineal representative OF GA ilcholS'
He is tile brave soldier who com
manded the Tennessee regiment Il,
Fort Morgan, when Page defended
that fortress against the combined at
tack e&Uarragut and Gordon tran

me in this city, and when Separated
the one was sent to Fort Warren,
and the other to Ship Island, there
TO suffer the cruel modification OF be
inc placed under negro guardS-the
most CALLING cruelty that one can
imagine. In the tervor OF emo'loh'
and the friendly feeling which Is ever
enrendered by community OF dan
GERS and suffering, we agreed TO
: bury the hatchct' between Jonh
C. Calhoun and Gen. Andrew JACK,
son. They had been the dearest
friends for many years, and as they
had paid their debt to nature, 1t was
not only proper, but just, that nature
should be allowed to re-asscrt hel
benign sway over the destinleS OF
men. Col. Jackson and myself pro
ceeded to the Jackson square, Where
stands the equestrian monument OF
| CID Hickory, for the purpose OF pu,

chiefs, and of swearing eternal TREND

square. we discovered that the gate
was locked, as it was after ten O'Clock
at night. We then agreed to per
form the ceremony, just where we
we're. and thete. accordingly, the
hatchet WAS buried. So now, you may
proclaim the fact, that the two gr'at
South Carolinians have been recon
cile., and their rivalry, their anlInos
itv. and their warfare, buried III DBL

mans. aud here take occasion to say
thot the efforts made by the Yankee
black guards, Parton and others, tt
deprive South Carolina OF the honoi

Of tbe re cent Northern memoirs OF
Gen. jackson, state that he was pS
birth a Noylh Carolinian, i'll defiance
of the fact, that in his celebrated
proclamation during the Nullliica
tion fines. he uses the following IAN
