The Pine Family.

The pine tribe, although among the
Oldest of plant creations still existing,
seem to be less understood in regard to
their structure than any other class,
iudgiDg from the number Of papers
about them continually appearing ID
scientific journals. Among the sugges-
tions Of recent years is one that what
we call pine leaves g. needless are not
leaves in the same sense as the leaves
of plants generally are, but modified
branches which, as the true leaves are
not developed, have to take on them
selves somewhat the character Of leaves
and perform the leafs usual Offices. A
recent paragraph in English papers
calls attention to the many uses to
which pine "leaves" are put. It is
said that a sort Of " flannel" is made
from the fiber of the leaves, and that
the refuse after the fiber has been sepa-
rated furnishes gas to carry Oh the fiber
factory. It is singular that dicotvle-
donOus plants generally yield no fiber
giving leaves. These are chiefly con
fined to yuccas, palms, lilies, or grasses.
Hemp, fax, and similar products are
usually furnished by the stems when
derived from dicotyledous. The fact
that pine leaves" furnish fiber might,
therefore, be taken, perhaps, as an ad.
ditional proof that they are rather
branches than true leaves.

Henry v. Defines His Position.

Count de ChambOrd has written a let
ter to NJ. de ChesnelOng, one of the
delegation from the Right which re-
Gently waited on him. The count says
misapprehensions have arisen tending
to obscure his policy, which is as clear
as day. He owes the whole truth TO
the country. He is asked to sacrifice
his honor. He emphatically declares
he retracts nothing, curtails nothing of
his previous declarations of yesterday
for the shadow of what would be ex-
acted tomorrow. He cannot inaugu-
rate a strong reign by an act of weak
ness. He energetically refuses to re-
tinguish the white flag. He indignant
ly repels insinuatiOns that he mistrusts
the vaIor of the soldiers. On the con-
trary, he seeks to confide to them all
he holds dear. He ignores none of his
country's glories and continues: eve

am ready to undertake at any time.
This is why I wish to remain as I am.

stake is the reconstruction of society
and the insurance of law, order and
prosperity. Especially should we not
fear to employ force in the service of
order and justice. Conditions and
guarantees are spoken of. Were any
required by the count of Paris, who
came to me spontaneously, at the dicta-
tion of patriotism? I preserved intact
our traditions and liberties and have
the right to reckon on equal confidence"
The letter concludes as follows "My
personality is nothing principle is ev-
erything. France will see an end to
her troubles when she understands
this. am the necessary pilot, alone
capable of guiding her into port, be-
cause I have the mission of authority.
France cannot perish because Christ

adopted. The address concludes as follows:
All may rest assured that I will comply with
instructions of the national government to be
untiring in my efforts to prOcnre peace, en-
couraging credit and pursue fraud, taking
care that none of the great interests of the
island suffer while I act as your governor.
The steamer Virginius was captured with
all on board by the Spanish gunboat Tornado,
near Jamaica, on the 31st ult. She had 40
passengers and crew, who, with the vessel and
cargo, have been brought to Santiago de Cuba
Proceedings will be Immediately commenced
against the prisoners. The following particu-
lars of the capture of the Virginius have been
received from Santiago. The Tornado, which
had been searching for the Virginius since her
attempted landing on the south coast of the
island, came in sight of her at 2:3O P. M on the
3lst ult., and Immediately gave chase. The
fllibuster put on all steam and made for ia
maica, hoping to fine refuge in British waters
In her flight she threw overheard several
horses and used portion of her cargo for fuel
but the Tornado caught up with her at 10 P. NJ
near the Jamaica coast, and she surrendered
with all on board, not one of whom escaped
Among the prisoners are the well known insur-
gent chief Bambetto, who was reported killed
a few days ago a brother of Cespedes a son
of Quesada, SenOr Jesus Del Sol, and other
important personages. The prisoners have
all been brought before competent tribunal
at Santiago, and are now being tried as pirates
There is great rejoicing in Havana over the
news; streets and houses are decorated with
national colors, and scriptions are being raised
for testimonial to the officers and crew of
the Tornado.

Louisiana Sugar Crop.

Louisiana is favored the present year
with fair sugar crop, fair as to quanti-
ty and more than fir as to quality.
From all the sugar parishes we have
pretty much the same report, and that
grinding has commenced. Within the
past few days planters have appeared in
the market desiring to contract for the
sale of their crops, and we hear of one
instance on the upper coast, of a planter
who contracted to sell his entire crop,
which, when ready, will take the direc-
tion of Cairo and the railroad lead
ing thence to Vincennes. This seems
to be in accordance with the suggestion
made recently in the Times that the
present is the favorable opportunity of
the sugar buyers at the north and west.
Three things cOnspire in their favor
just at tins time, the low price of sugar,
the low rates of freight to Cairo, and
the high price of exchange in New
York. From all accounts there is plen-
ty of exchange IN all the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and other
states to the north and west of those
named, but here in New Orleans ex-
change commands from four to five per
cent. premium. The merchants of the
west ordinarily buy their sugar in Jauu-
airy and February, but the facts men,
toned above certainly offer them very
great Inducements to enter the market
now aud contract for their sugar stocks,
bringing their par exchange and reallz,
ing the handsome premium which IT
will here command d-NeJD Orleans
