Business was right active on the
lcvec yesterday fo%r-aoon, and the
wharf presented an animated appear
ance. The Kate Kearney was dis
charging her magnificent trip of cot
ton, and had nearly all the wharf
space above Main Street occupied,
aud half the street. They were also
rolling it up Main Street some dis
lance. Twenty drays were at work
for the Transfer Company, hauling it
out to the depot as rapidly as posi-
BILE, otherwise there would not have
been room to have received it.. In the
mean while barrels, tierces and casks
Of pork, and barrels of -four were
pouring down to the wharf,
and all the vacant space on the wharf
below Main to Sycamore was full of
freight, waiting shipment South.
We were glad to see that Wharfmas-
ter Viets was having the huge pile of
shingles, that has oncumbored the
wharf several days, removed-which
made room for the receipt of packet
freight. The square below Sycamore
presented a like active appearance.
The beautiful weather attracted great
crowds of people to the front to see
the big river" and upon the whole
the public landing and Water
Street might be said to have
been teeming with life and ANNA
tion...""......The Fayette was re-
eeiving liberally."....The Wauanita

Religious Revolution = The Queen
Burns the Royal Idols, aad with
Her ~AristOcracY Embraces Chris
tiaDltY.
From the London Daily News, Dec. pa
A remarkable religious revolution
has taken place in Madagascar. We
learn from a letter from Rev. w.
Pool. dated from the capital on the
23d of September, and published In u
weekly contemporary, that the Queen
Las had the royal idols publicly burn
ed: that she and her aristocracy have
embraced Christianity, and hat the
whole province of Imerina, in which
the capital is situated, has followed
the example of the government. The
Queen embraced Christianity early in
the year, and has all the summer been
building a chapel royal. Meanwhile
the wooden fence round the temple
of the great national idol had been
pulled down, and the priests assumed
a threatening aspect, limiting that
their god had medicine which would
aVeDge him on the hereto sovereign.
On the 9Th of September they came
IN force to the capital to claim their
rights as mobiles. A council was call
ed and it was then decided to send
The Chief Secretary of State and
other high officials to the sacred viii
liage. SEVEN miles from the capital,
and burn the idol before Its keepers
returned. They set off the same
afternoon, and by an authority from
the Prime Minister seized the idols
house. The wood of the fallen fence
was collected, and q fire was made
aud the contents Of the temple were
brought out to be burned. First, the
long cane carried before the idol il

A New Orleans gentleman, deeply inter
ested in the recovery of Mr.. Digbys child,
writes to us from near Cheneyville, dating
last Thursday, that he has been there since
the previous Monday morning, and had
heard of the child and the two women half
a dozen times. In fact, he was only three
hours behind them on one occasion. The
people there assist continually, searching
plantations and forests. The mail facilities
are such that they seldom get New Orleans
papers, although there is a postoffice at
Cheneyyille. The writer adds, that since
the foregoing was written, some clothing of
the child and woman was found in a cane
field, and parties were at that time saddling
horses to proceed in the search. The time
may come when news will travel faster in
Louisiana, and events in New Orleans may
be heard of within reasonable time even in
Cheneyville. But we publish this to show
how widespread was che sympathy for the
parents of the lost child, which is now
found. We received the letter last evening.
