Love and Crime in New Orleans.

New Orleans papers give details of hor
rible murder there on Wednesday of last
week. Salvador Fernandez, young Gre
ole, it seems had been the affinanced lover
of Mile. Laveille previous to the war. He
went off with the Confederate troops, and
served as a lieutenant in one of the Lonis.
lana regiments. A report was received in
New Orleans that he was killed, and his
bethrothed, after mourning for him awhile
bestowed her hand in marriage on Mr..
Lewis Martin, merchant. Fernandez
turned up again after the war, much to the
horror of the Martins, and since then has
been unceasing in his attentions to the
lady. Last Wednesday Martin put an end
to his infatuation by shooting him. The
affair creates much feeling among the
friends of the parties.

RALEIGH, February l, 1869.


Dear yourudl:- is needless for me to
tell you what you already know, that, since
the date of my last letter, the bill concern
ing the Wilmington, Chan lotte and Ruther-
ford Road has finally passed both Houses
aud is now law. Some curiosity is felt
to know what will be the feeling of the
Stock b. lders and the sentiment Of the
people along the route. as to the accept
ance of the proposed terms It was a
shrewd movement on the part of the manip-
ulators of the amended bill-French,
Estes x to secure the possession OF
the offices of the Road, to couple with the
acceptance or rejection of the other fea-
lures an appropriation which, if success.
fully manged in the stock markets, may
push the Road to rapid completion. It
was the usual bold, impudent move of the
ca1pet-bagger for position and pelf-a
species of strategy which, with supple ma
terial to work upon, has foisted INDECENT
or greedy adventurers In so many OF the
places of profit and prominence in the
State. The Railroads appear, by the Way,
to be the chief objective points of their
cormorant endeavors, though as yet, not
withstanding that. in almost every instance,
Holden, the Ishnaclite, has entrusted the
State proxies to these proving fortune
seekers, they have failed to realize their
expectations. I trust that the Road, in
which you are so much interested, is not to
be the first exception, and that a carpet
Dagger may not succeed in creeping into
the position so long adorned, and SO use
fully and efficiently filed, by that able and
high-toned gentleman, Robert FL. Cowan.
En- passomt, and speaking of Estes, can
you explain the reason Of his unusual reti-
cence the present session ? He seems to
have dwarfed completely beneath the CO.
