SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.-A new
era is dawning upon the life of woman.
Hitherto she has been called upon to suffer
the ills of mankind and her own besides.
The frequent and distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have long been to her
the 'direful spring Of woes unnumb ered ;"
In the mansion Of the rich and in the hovel
of poverty alike, woman has been the con-
slant yet patient victim of thousand ills
unknown to man-and these without rem
edy. "Oh, Lord! how long," in the agony
of her soul, hath she cried. But now the
hour of her redemption is come. She will
suffer no more, for Doctor J. Bradfield's

column of this newspaper will be found some
interesting particulars concerning the Fe-
male Regulator, and other information high
ly important to women.

PAPER MAKING.

number of attempts have been made
in this State for several years past to Or
ganize companies, and erect mills for the
manufacture of paper ; but on account of
the inexperience, or want of money on the
part of the persons conspicuously leading
off in these matters, no satisfactory result
has ever been attained.
On the clear rivers of the Florida par
ishes of this State many eligible locations
for paper mills can be found, and as soon
as the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and
Vicksburg railroad is completed, we ex-
pect to see our intelligent Capitalists en-
bark in such enterprises. We have much
vegetable matter in our latitude admira-
bly, adapted to paper making. Mr.. Shy
rock, the originator of steam paper man.
ufacture, has recently given publicity to
some views on the proper materials for
paper making, which are interesting. He
says:
In my life Of experiments made paper of
every description of straw-wheat, rye.

The South has products of the vegetable
Kingdom far superior to anything in use in
the North. Many will live to see my ideas
realized in the use of the superior vegetable
productions OF the South in the manufacture
of paper and boards In many portions of
the South the growth of vegetable matter
admirably adapted to the manufacture of
paper is so prolific that a greater quantity
can be gathered from one acre than from fl
ty acres in our latitude. In my examination
of the vegetable productions of the South,
many are not only of extraordinary growth,
but remarkable for the fineness and tough
less of fibre. The cane swamps of the lower
Mississippi, Arkansas, Red river, ETC., pro-
duce an amount of vegetable matter suffi-
cient to supply all the planets of our solar
system, even if Inhabited by Yankees.

HON, John LYNCH.

Mr.. Semmes, during the progress of his
speech in defense Of MIR. Wicklife, took
occasion to make very uncalled-for and
severe attack upon the honesty of Senator
Lynch. No man of any party has here
tofore assailed the character of John
Lynch. He has borne himself so fairly
and consistently as to place himself above
the shadow of suspicion. The effect f
MIR. Semmes' studied effort to weaken the
confidence of the Senate in John Lynch
was a sorry failure. The article of i'm
parchment resting almost, if not entirely
upon MIR. Lynch's testimony, was first
taken up and voted upon, and on it Mr..
Wickliffe was convicted unanimously.
This fact shows the estimation in which
John Lynch is held by the Senate. of
which he is an honored and distinguished
member.
The attack made On prominent gentle
men connected with the State government
by MIR; Semmes, conclusiveIy showed the
weakness of his cause; for when he has
the slightest ground to stand on, as an
attorney, his practice is to avoid low per-
sonalities. But what could an attorney,
defending such man as Wicklihe, do, if
not SANDER good and worthy citizens, and
upright and honorable public officers?

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Yesterday was not very lively day on
| Carondelet street. The weather was
| charming, the temperature was delightful,
| the skies were cloudless, and everything
in the way of natural accessories favored
the spirit of traf1ic-but the spirit refused
to be aroused. Il was sunk, perhaps, in
the vastly deep of some lethargic limbo,
| and the financial Glendowers called On it
in vain. The outdoor brokers made
strenuous efforts to appear busy, and
rushed hither and thither in search of
customers, but their efforts were not
crowned with any conspicuous success
The main cause of the dullness of the
street for the last few days is not the
want of money, for the market is COM
paratively easy in that respect, but the
fall in gold, which has unsettled paper
values of all kinds of property. As long
as gold is going down, people
are cautious how they invest their
currency in even the most promising spec
ulations. Another cause of the prevail
ing inactivity in fancy stocks is the un-
certainty in regard to the action OF the
Legislature concerning some of them.
Ship Island has been extensively bought
with view to two dollar market on the
passage of the pending bill, but, as the
session wore on, and the impeachment
usurped the place of ordinary business, it
became more and more improbable that any
thing could be done at the regular session.
Last night the Senate, finding that the bill
could not obtain the required four-fifths
to suspend the constitutional rule, laid it
on the table, subject to call. 1t had ma
jority, however, and will probably pass as
soon as the Senate reassembles.
Slaughter House was slightly weaker
yesterday, in spite of the presumed fore
of the decision of the Supreme
Court.
The following were the transactions at
the board last night:

THE FIREMEN'S AyyIVERSARY

Only those who have endured the toll
and braved the dangers of fireman's life
can know the excitement all good fremer
feel on the approach of such an anniversary
celebration as that which takes place to
day. The fireman idolizes the machine.
with which he runs, and he takes com.
mendable pride in the decorations of the
day marked by this anniversary.
There is generous emulation among
the gallant fire annihilators of New
Orleans, in which we, in common
with all other citizens of this
metropolis, feel pride when, on occasions
like this, they make a better display
than can be made By any similar organi-
zation in the United States.
If the weather is propitious, the thir-
ty-third anniversary of the Fire Depart
ment OF New Orleans will be one of the
most at ractive. celebrations ever Witness
ed in this city.
There are thousands of visitors here.
many OF them from the North and West,
who have never seen q fourth of March
celebration by New Orleans firemen, and
other thousands have come in from points
less remote, expressly to behold the
splendor and magnifcence that will be
displayed on this occasion.

AN EXTRA Session CALLED.

We publish, in another column, the pro.
clamation of Governor Warmoth convening
the General Assembly in extra session, to
consider various important matters, which
it was impossible to reach in the term Of
sixty days. During the session just passed
an immense amount of business has been
disposed Of, besides the consideration of the
charges against Mr.. Wickllffe. Some meas
ures which are deemed vital to the best
interests of this city and state,were, there
fore, left unprotected. The Governor points
out number of the most important, and
they are of such a nature that to state them
is sufficient to show the necessity fof their
immediate consideration and appropriate
action.
