We trust that no loyal inhabitant Of
New Orleans win fail to visit to-day the
doubly consecrated plain Of Chalmette.
The spot made sacred to history, to patri-
otism, and to the Union more than half a
century ago by the heroism of our fathers
is endeared to US by the ashes of our
brethren who gave their lives to the same
great cause who died that we might live.
Whoever of us, whoever Of the loyal peo-
pie of New Orleans, has son, or father, OF
husband, or friend, or lover buried at
Chalmette will to-day strew upon his grave
the sweetest flowers. And forget
not the grave Of the stranger,
even though he belong to that
great army Of the unnamed patriotic
dead. Though his name be forgotten here,
and a simple number or an unletter
hsad-board mark his resting place, still
bear in mind that he was a patriot, and
died that his country might live. Some
distant mother, or father, or wife, or near
kindred will thank you in their heart Of
hearts, and bless you for single flower
placed over the grave of their dead soldier.

MORE ausHINa sYMPArHY,

Quite delightful are the amiable com
ments and advice with which the rebel
journals are favOring the Republican party
With an elegance of taste peculiar to them
selves they kindly suggest amendments to
the platform of the party, and improve
ments in the habits and manners of ouI
Presidential nominee, and sweetly descant
on our party plans and prospects in a style
quite affectionate and brotherly. An OBJ
serving person unacquainted with their an.
tecedents might suspect that at least one
of our Camp Street contemporaries had seen
the handwriting on the wall, and was seek
ing to escape from the sinking Democracy
and find some back and secret entrance
into the Republican ship.
But the watchmen on board the vic.
torious and impregnsble Republican
freighted with liberty and justice and
equality before the law, are somewhat sus,
picious of new corners from the enemies
country, and while they are on guard the
GOOD ship and the rich cargo and ali the
loot are beyond the reach of the grasping
hands of funkies and freebooteTs.
Says Camp street: "The Louisiana
delegation to the Republican National
Convention" (AhD chow horribly they
acted" "What naughty men they were !"
And all for seventy.fve dollars each.
"They must never be sent anywhere by
the Republican party, any more-by no
means" Probably at least one Camp
Street journal really believes that H. c.
Warmoth, W. P. Kellogg, Cyrus
Bussey, A. L. Lee, and the rest of the
delegation really sold out" as it charges,
for seventy-fve dollars each, as such would
be its own course where even seventy-five
dollars was to be made. But the mariners
on board the Republican ship hearing the
abuse and the stinkpots which their en-
emies are hurting at their trusted sentinels,
lie quietly TO sleep, knowing well thereby
that there is no treachery among those who
are guarding the good ship and the rich
cargo.

The order. prOmulgatine the election
will probably be issued to-day or Monday
next The ordinance of the Constitutional
Convention directs that the State officers
shall be installed the second Monday after
the announcement of the result Of the
election, and that the Legislature shall
meet the first Monday after the Installation
of the State officers. Nothing but an order
Of the Major General commanding this
District is likely to interfere with this
order of events, and General Buchanan
will hardly venture to issue such an order.
But If he should do so Congress and Gen
eral Grant will Immediately have something
to say about the matter. The new Con-
stitutiOn fully provides for the inaugura-
ton of State government and its own
enforcement as soon as the result Of the
election is announced.

HOW EMIGRANTS SHOULD SETTLE IN Tue
SOUTH.
No man in the country is better qualified
by large experience and wisdom to give
advice upon most subjects than Horace
Greeley. His plan of retaining the rich
waste places of the South which now await
but the coming of the thrifty husbandman
to reward him with laughing harvest
seems to us to be the only one practicable,
and is, moreover, one which we expect to
see largely followed during the coming
year. LET twenty or forty young men go
together" says Mr.. Greeley, "buy an es-
tate judiciOusly located, cut it up, start a
store, a blacksmith shop, common school,
etc., and they will double the value of
their purchase in one year, and be in
good circumstances in ten." The
fear of leaving behind the advan-
tages of schools, churches, libraries,
newspapers, and more than all else, the
protection Of an order-loving and law
abiding society, is now keeping tens of
thousands of thrifty and Industrious North
erners from emigrating to Louisiana, The
incompatible advantages of our elm ate
and soil are well understood and freely ad-
mitted. By going to the Far West where
man worth but one hundred dollars can
become the possessor of a quarter-section
of land the settler after years OF labor,
danger, denial, and almost complete isola-
ton from civilized life may attain a COM
petsnce. 1t is entirely different in Louisi-
9na. Every portion Of the State is in di-
rect and frequent communication with the
great city of New Orleans. There is an ex-
cellent market for cattle, grain, fruit,
for anything the farmer can produce.
Along both banks of the Mississippi on the
Red river, the Teehe, and skirting the in
Vulnerable bayous that cover the delta like
piece of network, are broad tracts Of
land which were once under cultivation,
all now lying profitless and neglected, and
can be bought for a mere fraction Of the
price they will command in the next few
years. On many Of these great plantations
large enough for twenty farms the build
ings, bitches, and fences are yet in toler-
able state of repair. There is not local
ity in Louisiana where twenty Northern
families, by settling in colony, could not
very soon surround themselves with all the
comfort and blessings they now enjoy, in
crease their properties several fold, and
from the beginning enjoy perfect protection
from Southern prescription and violence.
People should come to US as colonists, not
as Isolated settlers. We expect to see a
great tide Of immigration pouring into
Louisiana within the next twelve months.
