Editorial Correspondence.

Business has prevented my writ
ing since the 27th ulto,, ut which
time / sent short letter from New
Orleans. ] have changed my base
since that date, having left the
Crescent City on Thursday the End,
and reached here early on the morn
ing of Friday the Bird. My trip
was made by rail to Brahsear City,
and theace by the beautiful steamer
City OF NORFOLK, Of the Morgan
line, This ship, have a particular
preference for, because she is named
for the city of my residence many
years ago-tho good old borough Of
former days, which is associated in
my mind with the fresh young days
of my boyhood and early manhood.
The City of Norfolk is said to be the
fastest of tho Morgan line. as she
certainly is one of the most beauti-
fully fitted up. Her commander,
Capt. J. J. Atkinson, is O thorough
sailor and gentleman, and oil the
apportionments of the vessel are
excellent, particularly with refer
enco to the safety of the ship and
passengers. The Morgan line is
called monopoly, and SO, perhaps
it is, but for safety and punctuality,
the line cannot be cxcellcd by any
other line in tho United States. The
whole carrying trade between the
great city of New Orleans
and Texas, ports, is sure by this
line, which is composed Of eight or
ten Of the staunchcst ney steam
ships of their kind aGoat. l do
not remember r to have heard of q
single accident on any ofthcir ships,
whereby life or limb has been en-
dangered, since tho close of the
war, and this speaks volumes in IA
vor Of the system employed on; them
as we'll as the skill of the officers
and good management Of the own
ers, and of-the agents. Mcssrs.

The City Hotel, whore | stopped,
had it's usual number of guests,
prominent among whom were to be
found, most ifnot quite all the Tex.
ans in the city. This hotel, under
the Vproprietorshipi OF Mr.. R. s.
MORSE, still retains its, old name and
end fame among travelers;o and
how else couldit be, with it's finc
fare, clean beds and comfortable
rooms. 1t is truly q home for the
weary traveller, and long may it
flourish. / cannot dismiss the
"City," without thanking the gen.
tlemanly clerk in tho Office, Mr.
WATsoN, for kind favors bestowed
shall surely accept his invitation
to call on him whenever ] visit the
city of New Orleans.
There are two or three establish
