So far we have no signs Of frost; nor do We
care for them; for not single case of yellow
fever has been reported this year, and therefore
the arrival OF Hoary Jack, so ardently longed for
in seasons OF epidemics, Is now looked forward to
with indifference.
The WATERS in the rear of the city rose two or
inches from the influence of the north easter,
which blew with such violence all day Yesterday.

Our reporter on his way to the rear Of the city,
yesterday, met A. j. VsndeRrin. Esq.,, one Of the
most active members OF the Howard Association,
who told him the Howsrds were unsirine in their
attentions to the inhabitants Of the flooded dis
tricts, that they had distributed thousands Of
losves OF bread, scores of barrels Of -four, hams,

THE 1HANKs OF THE CRESCENT are rendered
10 the hesrtiest manner to the iigers the Seymour
Guides. the Steedman Guards, the delegation
from the Jackson Railroad Club, and the Tigers
sgsin.. for their elegant serenade. The band of
the Tigers is splendid one, and the airs
from Bellinis opera 'the Pirate" were beauti-
fully executed. The Tigers we're at least four

which escorted them.
When the Steedman Guards halted opposite the
CRESCENT office. some of their members observed
the Stonewall face Of their eloquent and peerless
sponsor In baptism, General Steedman the word
was passed Immediately down the line, when
three deafening cheers were given for their
champion. The general went down stairs upon
the sidewalk, and after stating that he had no in
tention or desire to delay the club in their line
of march, be exhorted every man to vote aud do
his duty and all would be well. After three
cheers more and q tiger for Steedman, the
procession moved on.
We UNDERSTAND the new portwardens ap-
pointed by Warmoth intend to contest the right Of
the Chamber of Commerce to appoint portwar-
dens OF its own. Thus we see, that, when men in
commercial business, intrusted by their fellow
merchants with the duty Of providing for the ne
appoint men to perform functions, for which the
State and the city taxed In favor OF redicuously
incompetent government functionaries, those
commercial business men are to be brought before
court and made 10 answer ss for q misdemeanor
or q crime. Portwardens and -four inspectors,

TEE SENIOR REPoRTER of this paper tenders his
sincere thanks for the distinction conferred on him
by the Union Soldiers and Sailors convention.
This organization Is one OF the most numerous and
most intelligent IN New Orleans. They are all, or
rather have been, boys in blue who have nailed
their colOrs to the mast ; and as they fought the
Confederates stesdfsstly during the war, so nov
have they the same ex Confederstes (those that
ere eft,l along with them to battle-to battle side
by side sgainst wrong aud oppression and radical
ism. With such leaders ss Steedman and such
standard bearers as Scott, McBeth. Grow and
other gasDt officers of the old United States
srmy, in the cause of Democracy, we may look
for twenty thousand majority in Louisiana.
