could not reach to such an immense
depth. Sections of the ancient wall
of Ophel have been exhumed, show
ing that, as Josephus says, it was
joined to the southeast angle Of the
Temple. Aqueducts, cisterns, rock.
hewn channels and passages have
also been discovered within and
around the harem, throwing new
light on the buildings, the arrange

New DISCOVERIES IN JERUSALEM
The following extract is taken from
letter written from Jerusalem to
the London Times:
The colossal foundations of the
temple wall, which are "stones of
ten cubits and stones Of eight cubits, :"
laid by Solomon or his successors on
the throne. are now being laid bare
at the enormous depth of ninety feet
and more beneath the present sur
face. The bridge that once spanned
the ravine between the palace Of
Rion and the temple of Moriah, is
now proved to have been upward of
one hundred and fifty feet high. If
this be, as it seems, the Ascent to
the House of the Lord which Solo
mon showed to the Queen of Sheba,
we cannot wonder that on seeing it
there was no spirit in her. The
pinnacle Of the temple on which the
tempter placed the Savior has just
been uncovered to the base, and is
found still to have an elevation OF
one hundred and thirty-six feet. The
statement Of Josephus, therefore. is
no exaggeration. II any one looked

ANTE BBLLUM oRAqoRY,

Mr.. Yerger, Of Mississippi, who has re.
Gently been imported for the purpose Of
telling our people how to conduct their
own affairs, gave utterance to the follow
ing tigare Of speech on Saturday night at
the ST. Charles theatre meeting
If we are to feel that oppression which
knows no end, and be trodden down by
the heel Of those whom we ourselves once
controlled, the sooner we feel it the better I;
let come what will-seas of blood and
mountains Of bones, if necessary. (Raptur-
Gus applause.)
Such ineendiary ideas were too frequent
ly applauded by both the canaiRe and the
public press before the war. The former
believed the speakers to be sincere once,
and are ready to be deceived again but
the Democratic papers are fighting shy Of
such firebrands. One journal, however,
deprecates any limiting at another rebellion,
and another, after first commencing the
orator and his sentiments, has, in accord
aRce with its usual trimming policy, since
mildly condemned both. But few of them
discuss the matter at all, or even quote that
part Of the speech.
Seas ofblsod and mountains Of bones
form . fine rhetorical figure, but in
real earnest Life they are not what the
people Of this state want. We have had

The rIUHKBY CONFEDERATE ORGAN,

The ex-rehel and turnkey confederate
organ in Camp street presumes to crlticlSe
he New Orleans REPuBLIcAN, and groans
and bowls with the pangs Of envy and dis
appointed greed. II raised heaven and
earth to ret The federal and city printing
which the PUBLICAN has, and is evidently
suffering where its little soul is, viz, Its
empty pocket
The New Orleans Times is SO notorious
for falsshood and misrepresentation that
the intelligent and respectable people OF
Louisiana attach little importance to its
statements nevertheless, it has lately be-
come pre-eminent in its specially, and we
are now pleased to say that It's statements
concerning the ownership and control OF
this paper are unmitigated falsehoods, and
its insinuatiOas are centemptibie lies.
The presumption of the disloyal concern
is something wonderful. Thata newspaper
which bounded onlthe mnrderers of the July
massacre, and then sought to sneak from
the responsibility of its course-a newspa-
per which is the representative of the de-
based, the dspraved, and the disloyal, and
the opponent Of justice and equality, and
all that tends to the peace and prosperity
of the government of our country, should
venture to advise q major general of the
United States army, or seek to bolster up
its failing fortunes by the patronage Of
government il daily reviles, displays de-
gree of impudence and presumption unsur-
passed in the whole history Of journalism.
In the near and better future which is
aawning upon Louisiana, papers like the
New Orleans Times will find no patrons
outside of the grogshOps and brothels; and
his COED time is already foreshadowed by
he financial rain to which that paper is
rapidly tending, and the contempt in which
L is held by the loyal people who are here
after to rule this state

The Union Army and Navy Officers asso-
citation was formed yesterday, and inau-
gurated by a banquet at Lyceum hall.
We give report elsewhere.
The Republican party Of Louisiana has
manifested decided preference for Cen
eral Ulysses S. Grant as their candidate for
president,
On Friday evening a meeting was held
pursuant to call at No. Is st. Charles street,
which resulted in the organization Of the
"Pioneer Grant club.p ]. NJ. G. Parker
was chosen president, and Charles Case
vice president. Other clubs win no doubt
be formed in the course Of the ensuing
week.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
by the news from Washington which was
received yesterday. The attempt on the
part of General Thomas to usurp the func-
lions Of secretary of war, Mr.. Stanton's
firm refusal to give up the Office, the arrest
of the former, and final release en- bail by
Judge Cartier, were all duly discussed in
all circles. We publish disnstch from
our special correspondent, stating that the
reconstruction committee has report all
prepared for the impeachment of President
johnson. twill NO doubt be presented to
the house on Monday morning. Later
advices inform us that the president has
declared martial law in the District of Co.
lumbia. It is believed in Washington and
in this city that the house of representa-
tiVes will present to the senate articles of
impeachment before Monday night.
The constitutional convention has not
transacted any important business during
the latter part Of the past week. Most of
the time has been occupied in correcting
clerical errors in the text of the constitu-
ton. There was no session yesterday.
An adjournment will probably be effected
during the present week,

GRAND RATIPTUATI0N NETTING,

Last night the Radical Republicans Of
New Orleans turned out by thousands to
ratify the nominations Of the party.
No meeting Of loyal men so large and
enthusiastic has ever been held in Louisiana.
Mechanics Institute and the adjacent
street were crowded, and all we're inspired
by the firm determination that our party
must succeed at the coming election. The
late hour prevents more extended notice

Creditable to the printer, published Off

bureau of immigration. In the preface,
Mr.. Kaufman Informs the reader that the
Louisiana bureau of immigration has been
organized by the state "for the purpose of
rendering assistance to immigrants in find
ing houses, lands, and employment of oil
kinds" He adds that the bureau Is
Crowded with innumerable applications
from this and other states for agriculturists,
hOriculturists, vine-dressers, and wine
makers, stoek-raisers, and mechanics of
every trade.n He alss informs the people
that ''there are so many propositions on
file with the bureau that it may be said i'm
migrants can obtain lands of every quality
in any quantity, and on almost any terms
that could be asked. Not only can infor-
nation be given as to The purchase of lands,
but as to where and how the best and
cheapest may be had.p
Governor Baker, who has carefully read
the pamphlet, does not consider that any
thing therein said is exaggerated. Louis
lana" the governor says, ain the pro-
duetiveness Of her soil and her geographi-
cal position, is far ahead of any of the
states in America"
The ifty-fYe pages Of Mr.. Kathman's
pamphlet contain vast amount of infor-
nation as to the settlement and population
Of Louisiana its commercial and geo
