eA- General Rousseau was sent to
New Orleans and put in command of
the Louisiana Military District by
Andrew Johnson for the purpose of
carrying that State for Seymour and
Blair. Rousseau has performed his
work with alacrity, zeal and effici-
cncy. He has practically over
thrown the State Government and
turned over its administration to the
rebels. He has established such a
reign of terror that the Republicans
almost en- mdSse abstancd from the
polls and allowed the State to go by
default for the Ku Klux ticket
They preferred doing this to fighting
the recognized Confederate regi-
ments.

GROWTH OF WooL IN THE UNITED
STATEs.-The Rutland County (Vt.)
Journ !. says :" The history Of the
growth Of wool is very curious. Eff
ty years ago not pound OF fine
wool was grown in the United States,
in Great Britain, or in any other
country except Spain In 1874 a
small flock was sent to the Elector
of Saxony as present from tho
King of Spain, whence the entire
product of Saxony wool, now Of such
immense value. In 1909, during the
invasion of Spain by the French,
some of the valuable crown flock
were sold to raise money. The
American Consul. Jarvis, at Lisbon,
purchased I.400 head and sent
them to this country, A pc t on Of
this pure and unmixed Merino flock
is still to be found in Vermont at
this time, Such was the origin of
the immense flock Of fine wool sheep
in the United States at the present
time"
