SURVIVORS OF john C. CALHoUN's FAMILY.
A South Carolina letter writer gives the folio wing
account of the survivors of the late John G. Cal
houn's family:
Early in life Mr.. Calhoun married bis cousin,
Florida Calhoun, who eventually brought him a
handsome fortune. 1t was in her right that he
owned Fort Hill. Her brother, Col. J. E. CAL
many acres of wooded land.
OF this marriage seven children-fve sons and
two daughters-arriyed at years of maturity, all of
whom outlived their father, but only one now sur
wives, the Oldest daughter, wife of r. @: Clemson,
formerly charge daffairs at the court of Belgium,
handsome, brilliant and fascinating woman, in
heriting much OF her fathers talent and always
regarded by him with especial pride and fondness
Younger than this lady were four sons, of whom
the elder was Patrick, educated for the army;
John. the next. studied medicine; James was, a
lawyer, and William, the youngest of the family,
devoted his attention to planting. All these died
in the early life.
Between John and Patrick was daughter, Cor
was always treated with most tender indulgence by
her father. She also died some years ago.
During the war, Col. Andrew Calhoun, the cid.
est son, died very suddenly, before medical sssis-
lance could be procured. He was at that time
living at Fort Hill, having purchased the place
from his mother, who, finding the cares incident
TO planting entirely too heavy for her, removed to
very pretty residence overlooking the little vii.
lsge Of Pendleton.
About eighteen months ago she, too, died. Her
health, until about two years previous to her
death, was remarkably strong, but about that time
q decline began, from which she never rallied.
The eldest son, Colonel Andrews Calhoun, has
left widow and six or seven children, Of whom
the two eldest are sons, both of whom fought
during the war in the Southern army. or the
other sons, neither Patrick nor James ever mar
RED. DR.. John Calhoun left two sons children as
yet: William left one, also still quite Q child.
Mrs. Clemson has two children, son and daugh.
ter. Her son also fought during the war, and was
long time prisoner at Johnson's Island. Her
daughter inherits great powers Of mind, personal
beauty. charm Of manner and conversational
power.
Fort Hill remains at present in the possession
OF the family Of Colonel Andrew Calhoun, the cid
est son.

We perceive that Mr.. Edward L. Andrews
has opened law Office at 15S Broadway, New
York. Mr.. Andrews is a native of this city,
and is one of whom New Orleans may well be
proud. He is very young man, but he has
already displayed measure of talent and
energy which are sure guarantees of success.
Our readers will remember him as the writer
of those agreeable and often brilliant letters
from Washington which adorned the columns
of the CRESCENT two years ago. He has now
entered new career, but one for which we
believe him to be eminently fitted, and in
which he will assuredly achieve distinction.

attempts to confuse the question by misap-
plication of the CnrscINr's remarks concern
ing carpetbaggers.
It would, of course, be very desirable for
the Republican to make the world believe
that "carpet-bagger" and Immigrant" are
only different names for the same persons,
and that carpet-baggery" and "industry"
are convertible terms. But the effort, though
highly ingenious, is no more successful than
that of Capt wragg to prove that his skillful
depredations on society were quite as lauda-
BILE as the industry of people who follow what
society-greatly to the disgust of Captain
Wragg and his disciples, the carpet-baggers-
regard as honest pursuits, in contradistinc-
ton to just such modes of livelihood as are
practiced by Wraggery and carpet-baggery.
Both may be modes of industry but the die
ference is just the difference between honesty
and knavery.
The Republicans argument may be inge-
nious; but it is not more conclusive than that
of the gentleman who thinks that society
owes him living, and who reasons thus:
Industry is reputable; am a chevdlier din
dustrie. consequently am reputable citi-
zen." So with the rpetbagger: Industry
is needed in Louisiana. l am very industri-
Gus lin the way of zealously DISTINGUISHING
white people. and theoretically enfranchising
negroes and ardently laboring to get an office
consequently my presence is desirable and
necessary or, "society owes everybody
living; can't get a living except by getting
my hands into the public treasury; conse-
quently have an indefeasible right to be
supported at the expense of the State"
or, 81 have a right to get an Office
if l can; can get an Office by prevent
ing those people from voting who would
vote against me, consequently have right
to prevent the people of Louisiana from OBJ
structing my way to the place which desire;"
or, to sum it all up, "the offices belong to
the trooly loil,' 1 am 'trooly loil, conse-
quently the offices belong to me-" All of
which is very good argument, but like Radi-
cal arguments in general, it is based on essen
tally defective premises The Republican
says that the "hue any cry after carpet
bsggers is becoming tiresome and disgusting
to the public in general" There is certain
class of persons to whom the "hue and cry"
is naturally tiresome and disgusting, but they
are not the persons who constitute the public.
The Republican has simply put the cart
before the horse, or rather the pursued in the
rear of the pursuer.

Governor seymour arrived In this city at one

Early this evening crowds locked to the Academy
OF Music. and long before the hour OF meeting the
building was packed with an immense audience,
while large numbers unable TO gain admission
formed two large meetings outside which were ad-
dressed by prominent democrats. The meeting iu-
side was presided over by william A. Wallace, chair
man OF the Democratic State Committee, who intro
duced Mr.. seymour with complimentary remarks.
