ST. Louis Democrat. We are new entering upon the
long, sultry and sickly days of a Southern summer,
with comparatively large proportion OF our popula-
ton THE freedmen) packed in crowded, small sene-
ments all over the city. There IS strong probability
Of late river nayigation which will expose to any
epidemic breaking cut in the city of New Orleans,
while the crowded and filthy condition of portion OF
own city must necessarily subject our people to
the epidemic diseases Of the place. We hope prompt
steps will be soon taken to enforce cleanliness.

"CASr LIVE IN THE SoUTH."-" Mack" the we'll
known correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
in letter dated Atlanta, the 3Oth ult., says:
On my way to Chattanooga fell in with Gen. Will
lard Warner of Newark, Ohio, who told me he
on lis way to his plantation, Montgomery, Ala
bama. | asked him how much truth there was i'll the
report that Northern man couldn't live down in that
section, aud he replied there wasn't word. He had
been there year and a haif-had been known as all
ex-Federal officer, and far from that operating
him, it had exactly the opposite effect, he said, for
those especially who had been i'll the rebel army,
liked q Northern man all the better from his having
been Union soldier-and two better friends than
rebel and i" Yankee soldier, provided neither is
fool.
Just here let me give faint explanation of Of
the cries Of Can't live in the South" Question the
men who return to the North with that howl upon
their tongues and their history while they were
South, and ten chances to one you will find that they
came down here to play Jeremy Diddler, and were
found out too soou for their pecuniary benefit I
have been told, by half dozen men, since | came
South, of such cases.
Ihavc seen enough of the South already, however,
and heard enough from Others to warrant me in re-
commencing as splendid business enterprise the for
nation Of Loyal Life Insurance Company, for the
beae6t of fearful souls who to come this way but
don't to be killed for their Union sentiments"
"The premium should be graded according to the past
and present occupation of the insurer. good Yam
kee soldier may be insured for three cents on thou
sand dollars but on fellows who want to steal cotton,
or engage in some such laudtbe and patriotic pur-
suit the ris! would be heavy and less than Fifty per
cent wouldn't be likely to pay"
RESIGNATION OF ADMIRAL TUGKER.-The Peruvian
correspondent of the New York Herald says:
Admiral Tucker resigned his command ofthe allied
squadron few days ago and left in the English mail
steamer of the 25th for Callao. This proceeding of
the Admiral seems to have been prompted more by
the policy of harmonising aiirs in Peru, where the
revoutionsts making use of the appointment of
foreigner to the command of the feet against Presis
dent Prudo than by any desire to acquesce in the d.
mand of our Government that unpardoned rebel
should not be intrusted with high authority by other
Governments. The Herald readers have been fully
informed the subject of saluting this coast how
Admiral DahIgren first authorised by the Navy
Department to suspend the usual courtesies to Admi
raj fuckers pennant; how the Peruvans retlated by
refusing to salute flag in reply to sautes
to the ensign of Peru, and how Chilli threatened to
unite with Peru in this action.
No little correspondence took place between Our
ministers at Lima and Santa 20 Admiral Dahgren and
the respective governments, and at time the diff
fcultv promised to become serious. The resignation
of Admiral Tucker having removed the cause of the
misunderstanding the whole affair will probably be
amicaby arranged in few days. Since the departure
of the Admiral coureies have been resumed between
the Peruvian vessels and own, and the formal adj
ustment by the diplomatic representatives of the Uni
ted States and Peru only is required to terminate the
discussion. Admiral Tucker took with him the two
ex-Confederate officers, Butts and McCockly, who
came out with him from the States. Commodore
Garcia of the Gillian navy, is temporarily in COM
mand of the squadron. As the mail steamer with the
Admiral on board passed the Peruvian flag ship indie
pendenca the the band OF the latter struck up 1ail
Columbia, aud it is yet undecided whether the Ad
miral was eompl mened or not.
