DEATH OF p. b. PHELPs.-Peleg B. Phelps,
we are panied to learn, died Sunday last at
Mississippi City. Born in Connecticut, the
deceased had spent the greater part OF his life
sixty-four years, in the South, and had been
for upwards of twenty yeats resident of New
Orleans. He was known to the public during
most of this time by his financial writings In
various journals of this city, usually under
the head Of "Talk on Change" title which
at former period, when his faculties were
most vigorous, he illustrated in the columns
of the CRESCENT. His style was quaint but
it was rather the quaintness of sincerity than
of affectation. As to his matter, it was rich in
valuable facts and suggestions. man of
sterling integrity, of public usefulness, the
community at large, not less than his extern
sive circle of friends and relatives, will deeply
feel his loss.

The Mobile Trade Company's steamer Lucresia,
Capt. Davis, left Mobile on Friday. the I'd inst,
and was compelled by the gale to put into Bon
Secour the same morning at O'Clock. where she
remsined until Saturday night at 10 o'clock. She
arrived in the New Basin on Sunday evening
without having sustained any damage.
The u 8. mail boat Frances, Capt. Blakeslee.
came through from Mobile to the Pickets. but on
account of the weather and the overflow OF the
rail- cad was compelled to return to the north
until the storm absted.
Capt. Joe Walker. of the lake shore steamer
Laura, reports having experienced the first of the
gale on Thursday. The wind came to the north.
ward and eastward. and continued to increase
until Friday, when it blew perfect hurricane.
Capt. Walker came up near the wharf at the
lake end Of the Pontchartrain Railroad, but was
compelled to run for the north shore. making a
very comfortable hsrbor at Bon Foucs. She
came up to her landing on Monday morning.
The Creole, Capt. James McC. Baker, on ac-
count Of the heavy sea running at the landing,
was obliged to seek safe harbor in the Tche.
functa river until the storm abated.
The mail boat Louise, Capt Hopkins, for Mo-
bile, finding the gale increasing on Friday, made
safe barbor on the north shore of the Rigoletts
at "a O'Clock. On Saturday morning, the wind
having subsided, she left at O'Clock A. M. for
Mobile.
The Vaudeville and Madisonville packet Came.
liz, Capt. Cousins, during the gale was snugy
moored at Madisonville wharf, where she re-
NAMED In safety during the storm, which was the
most severe one that has been experienced on
our lakes for q number of years.

Some of the supervisors still continue to
act under Bakers absurd and illegal instruc-
tions. We have been told of instances in
which they have refused to register persons
offering to take the reconstruction affidavit.
Now this thing ought to cease at once. 1t is
Che duty of the supervisors to register legal
vosers, and they must perform their duty. II
they persist in violating, they may find them
selves in a very perplexing and embarrassing
situation. The people Of New Orleans want
nothing more than fair play; but fair play
they are resolved to have. We hope that the
supervisors will learn to appreciate this inter
estinp fact in time.

The Radicals have been congratulating
themselves on q so-called division of the Irish
vote of New York, which they innocently in-
fer from the recent conversion to the cause Of
Grant and Colfax of a newspaper called the
Irish People. The importance to be attached
to this change may be measured by the cost of
effecting it, which seems to have been just one
thousand dollars. The New York World pub
fishes copy of draft, drawn in favor of the
editor, d. OSullivan, for that sum, by John
G. wilker, certain internal revenue collec-
tor. Three days after the date of the draft the
Irish People made its pronemcianientoi in favor
of Grant If the Irish follow the lead of this We
nal renegade, they will cease to be the noble
and patriotic people that they are. The truth is
that Mr.. OSullivan's apostacy wasn't worth
two votes to the Radicals, much less thou
sand dollars

A CoRREcTIoN.-Major Hutchings, who rep
resents General Hatch, of the freedmen's bu-
reau in this State, informs a friend of the
Crescent that instead of one hundred ne
groes having been killed at and near Opelou-
sas, in the parish of st. Landry, recently, in
q riot between the whites and blacks, only
three negroes were killed and four wounded,
whilst one white man was killed and three
white men were wounded. The dispatch
stating that one hundred negroes had been
killed is without foundation. Maj. Hutchings
sent officers from his bureau when the row was
telegrapbed, and they report as We have just
stated above.
