served, being solid, smooth and bright look
ing as if pucked but few days ago. Those
Of the present years growth were Princes

finely favored and altogether very pleasant
eating. We give this brief notice for the
benefit of such as may wish to possess either

apples, both of which are highly desirable

Jusrlr1oAr1oN OF GEN. ROUSSEAU.

L
| NEW ORLEANS, Nov. THE Republican has
| a.leader defending Gen. Rousseau from the at
| tacks of the press North. 1t says his recent
| position has been most difficult one, and
knowing as we do what were his views, his
wishes and the means at his disposal to enforce
those views and wishes, We propose to do
gallant officer the justice of placing him cor
rectly before the world. Gen. Rousseau re-
Gently from civil life, was we'll known as oe-
cided Democrat, and on the part OF Justice we
desire TO say that he disavowed WIN pronp
rude any partizan bias in the administrator
OF his Command When violence aud riots
threatened its worst consummatlon the troops
atsbjs command were mere handful. To the
request that troops be dispatched to Franklin
and Opelousas, he responded by an order di
recting troops Immediately to those points, but
before they could move the disorder of the city
increased to such degree that not musket
could be spared. Feeling his weakness he tel
egraphed he Secretary Of War, earnestly de-
manding that more troops be immediately sent
MN. Tue Secretary ordered Gen. Gillem to
dlspafch at once from Mississippi all the trovps
ne could spare. Through the leaders Of the
different parties he made constant efforts 70
quiet the faction. Justice, therefore, requires
us to say to our friends that he was earnest
and true in his endeavors to protect life and
prevent riot.
RETURN OF TROOPS TO THEIR COMMAND.
All the troops sent to reinforce Gen. Rousseau
during the excitement previous to the election
have been returned to their command. vds.
STATEMENT DENIED BY GEN. ROUSSEAU.
Gen. Rousseau repudiates the PHI ase and
offensive terms and portion of the substance
of The late conversation reported as having oc-
CURED between him and the Herald cores
pendent of New York, in letter dated 28th
ult., up to three or four days previous to cleo
ton 1t was his opinion as well .as that of
every one, that trouble would occur on election
day. but on pledge from Democratic club
to exert themselves for the preservation of or
der and protection of all voters, no further APP
sprehension was felt: g
