CRESCENT orrIcz; No. ~ oAS

Sunday Morning. Dec. q. 1868 !
We have nothing to report, in the way of bust
ness, since our last. The steamboat landing has
presented dull, lifeess appearance; the arrivals
and departures since Thursday evening have been
numerous, but, with few exceptions, they had
light trips.
Friday was truly lovely day and (it being
Christmas) all New Orleans seemed to be out of
doors; true. the weather was bitter cold, but the
genial sunshine seemed to nfuse life and vgor into
our people, and induced them to wander forth to
bask in the rays of the sun. But what change
came DER the spirit of the dreams of those who
went to their beds anticipating another fine day
on the morrow. At daybreak yesterday dense
fog enveloped the city and its surroundings, and
when 1t cleared away revealed sky overcast
with dark, heavy clouds, which threatened every
moment TO drench us with rain. The latter part
OF the day was clear, and the temperature warm
and humid.
