An Exquisite Story by LamartIne.

In the tribe of Neggcdah, there
was horse whose fame was spread
far and near, and a Bedouis Of anoth-
er tribe, by name Daher, desired ex-
'tremely TO possess it. Having offered
in vain for il his camels and his
whole wealth, he hit at length upon
the following device, BY which he
hoped to gain the object Of his desire.
He resolved to stain his face with the
juice Of an herb, to clothe himself in
rags, 10 tie his legs and neck togeth-
er, SO as to appear like a lame beggar.
Thus equipped, he went to wait for
Naber, the owner Of the horse, who
he know was to pass that way. When
he saw Naber approaching on bis
beautiful steed, he cried out in q
weak voice: al am a poor stranger
for three days ! have been unable tc
move from this spot to seek for food
I am dying; help me, and Heaven
will reward you" The Bedouir
kindly offered tottake him upon hi,
horse and carry him home, but th,
rogue replied: i cannot rise; ] hav,
no strength lefi.p
Nsbef, touched with pity, dis
mounted, led his horse to the spot
and with great difficulty, set th'
seeming beggar on It's back. But n,
sooner did Daher feel himself in th'
saddle, than he set spurs to the hors
and galloped Of, calling out as h
did 80: II is I, Daher; / have 60

COMPLIMENT TO Mr.. DAVIS
Mr.. Il. Adams, a northerner, who has
written a book entitled "Thc siege Of
Washington" says in II, that il JEFF
ferson Davis had taken the side Of
the North in the late war, and had
been placed in supreme command Of
the Northern armies, he would, from
his military experience, his knowledge
Of men, his grasp Of mind and his
iron will, have so used the immense
resources Of the North and west as 10
crush the South in one year from the
commencement Of hostilities.

be received over ten years before they

Story Of an Infant.

A young topographic friend--a
printer cuss, who sets up types on one
Of the daily papers, and occasionally
sets up with the girls by way Of va
riety--wcnt home the other day,
(having stopped for an hour at "old
Wbites,'1 and found q brand new
baby, handsomely dressed and trim
med with pink ribbons, sleeping
sweetly on his bed. Faust was
slightly puzzled. He knew there
was no baby about the house, and
that his landlady, in addition TO be-
ing a widow, had passed through the
era Of liability In that particular, and
emerged on tie shady side Of forty
five. He.looked ut tho baby and
then looked at himself in the glass.
He rubbed his eyes and DID his
eyes, and finally rushed flriously out
Of the room, hunted up the madame
and demanded an explanation. The
lady told him that the baby had been
left on the step, labeled and directed
to Mr.. --, and that she bad Ia
ken Il 10. The poor fellow protest
ed most earnestly That Il was not biz
baby; that there must be some mis-
take about IL; but the landlady
pointed out certain rescmblances Of
eyes, hair, nose, and other features
which silenced him completely. III.
nally he concluded 10 adopt Oh,
youngster, and the landlady agreed
70 find a young woman who would
take care Of Il for q reasonable com
pcnsation. The typo was willing I,
give two-thirds OF his wages 70 &c
the baby of his hands. He agrees
TO everything that was proposed, ana
Il was only AFTER four or five days o
torture that he learned the trick tba
had been played upon him. Tn
baby belonged to the married daugh

\ GLOOMY PRoGNosTIC In a speech
in the House on Ashley's impeachment
resolutions, on the 5th inst, Hon. James
Brooks, Of New York, referring to our
present condition, is reported as follows
"We would say to the gentleman from
Ohio { Mr. Spalding), who stood here as
II Girondist against the Jacobins, that the
history of the Girondists was in this
place to be written; and although such
men as he attempted to arrest the revolu-
ton, he { Mr.. Brooks) did not think this
revolution was here to stop. He did not
think it was half written or half acted out,
unless all history was at fault.
We are now repeating the Roman his
tory of Augustus and Julius Caesar, and
the Government is passing from repub.
lie to a iGespotism. Revolutions never
stop. The Girondists-the Conservatives
are. to be overwhelmed by the Jacobins,
and when we shall have lost all our lib
critics, some future Napoleon, yet un
known, will rise up from the chaos and
rescue the country from anarchy, through
a military despotsm. The resistance of
Il gentleman from Ohio Mr.. Spalding), J,
and the partial resistance of the gentle
man from Pennsylvania { Mr.. Miller,
was all invain. More than one half of
the territory of the old republic was un-
der military dcspotism. There was no
more protection in the Southern States
for life, liberty or property than under
the dominions Of the Sultan and Gar
The military government bill, now over
ten millions ofpeople, white and black,
was to be extended over the North and
West before the revolution was finished.
While he greeted the voice of the gentle
man from Ohio Mr.. Spalding), and wei
coined the calmly resisting tones Of the
gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr.. Mil
ler), he knew, if history was correct,
there was no escape for any Of us

Chief among our miserics is the disastrous
overflow of the Mississippi river. From Cairo

ofcrcya,scs have already occurred, inundat-
ing all the river parishes in this State, and the
bottom lands of Kentucky, Missouri, Tennes-

water; and should break in the leyee occur

The following Is the letter:
NEw ORLEANS, La, March Is, 1867.
ToTHE EDIroR or THEsNEw ORLEANS TINES
---Degr Sir: In your paper of yesterday. you
have expressed desire To hear the views OF
several gentlemen upon the political condi-
ton ofthc country. l find my name mention
ed upon your list. and proceed, without hest
tation. t. respond. fl
As have never applied myself to politics,
cannot claim to speak to the wise statesmen
OF the country, who are devoting their ener-
gics to the solution of the problem which agi-
tatcs the public mind. can only speak the
plain, honest convictions of soldier.
Ii can hardly be necessary at this late day,
to enter into a discussion ofthe matter that is
usually brought up in arguing upon the pro-
posed plan for reconstructing the Govern
ment. Indeed, | think that many of them are
not pertinent to the question.
The striking feature, and the one that our
people should keep in view, is. that we are a
conquered people. Recognizing this fact fair
ly and squarely, there is but one course left
for wise men to pursue. Accept the terms
that are offered us by the cOnquerors! There
can be no discredt to conquered people for
accepting the conditions offered by their con-
querors. Morris there any occasion for a feel
ing of humiliation We hayc made an honest,
and | hope that may say creditable fight,
but we have lost. Let us come forward then
and accept the ends involved in the struggle.
Our people earnestly desire that the const-
tutional government shall be re-established.
aud the only means to accomplish this is to
comply with the requirements of the recent
Congressional legislation.
1t Is said by some that Congress will not re-
ceive us even after We have complied with
their conditions. But lean find no sufficient
reason for entertaining this proposition for a
moment. eannot admit that the representa-
tive men of great nation could make such
apledge In bad faith. Admitting. however,
that there Is such mental reservation, can
that be any excuse for us in failing to dis
charge our duty? Let us accept the terms
rs We are Ia duty bound to do, and If there Is
a lack of good faith, let it be upon others
! am very respectfully your most obedient
servant, JAMES LoNGsTREET.
