Rev. Newman Hall had conversation with Bob
Lincoln on the topic, and asked hin about the

been often asked about that letter; we have been
asked to publish it. But it is a long letter of
three pages, the outgushing Of generous wo.

it would not be right to publish letter written in
the efusion Of a womsn's heart"

We have already announced the engagement of
Rev. DR.. F. A. Farley, of Brooklyn, New York,
to supply, temporarily, the pulpit Of the First
Unitarian Church Of this city. Dr. Farley arrived
IN town yesterday, by the steamship Cuba, and
will soon enter upon his duties. He is a gentle
man Of excellent learning and repute among lib.
eral Christians Of the North, and Of a very agree
able and genial presence. We trust that his stay
in New Orleans will prove emineuuy pleasant to
him, ard that the friends of the late lamentei Dr.
Clapp viii find his mantle to have descended upon
the present incumbent of pulpit cousecrated by
the christian devotion Of its FIRST occupant.

We Learn that Mr.. Merry, of Dubuque, (tbe
same gentleman who recently shipped several
barge loads Of grain from that point to Bos-
ton via New Oneans) has determined to build
large elevator either in the city or in Algiers.
This fact shows the light in which the capt.
talists Of the West regard the future of New
Orleans. That gentleman coming from the
center Of the wheat trade Of the Northwest
should put 100000, the amount Mr. Merry's
elevate. is to cost, into project. the success
of which depends, in a great measure, upon
the direction of that trade to our city, demon
strates that at least one man competent to
judge, deems the thing not only possible, bat
probable. We are aware that just now capi-
tai is very scarce here, but it is not necessary
that every elevator should cost $500, 600; nor
would it be necessary at first to have any
Other than floating elevators, as storage could
be furnished by the barges bringing down the
grain. serious objection, too, TO elevators
built on land is the constantly shifting nature
Of the banks of the Mississippi But even
laying aside this consideration, we cannot at
present afford great venture, however large
the prize. But we can build small floating
elevators which would be able to handle, say
from three thousand TO five thousand bushels
per hour and which would pay for themselves
before they had been run three months. If
we do not do this ourselves Northern capt.
talsts viii step in and take the business, and
with it its profits, from our hands. Mr.. Merry
will doubtless find many imitators amongst
the monied men Of the West and Northwest
