NEW ORLEANS.
The Transmission of TeIegraphfc
Messages During the New Orleans
Troubles.


Troubles.
New York, September 25.-William
orion, President Western Union Tele-
graph Company, in letter denying that
the transmission Of messages has been
interfered with in the South, says:
During the evening Of the day the
troubles in New Orleans began a guard
was stationed at our Office in that city.
The superintendent made prompt and
vigorous protest against this act, and
the guard was Immediately removed.
In two instances our messengers were
arrested by the Penn military, but on
being taken to headquarters they we're
discharged, and the parties making the
arrests were reprimanded and no at
tempt was made to tamper with the
messages. No committee of citizens
nor any person whatever exercised any
censorship over the dispatches, or OBJ
tanned access to them, or we're furnished
with their contents. The only persons
to whom any special favor was shown
we're officers Of the United States army,
who we're permitted to occupy the pri-
vate apartments of our superintendent
for greater convenience in communicat-
ing with the officials at Washington.
Their communications we're given, as
they are by law entitled, preference over
all other business. -
New ORLEANS, September 25.-The
Picayune OF to-day contains the follow
ing. Even Kellogg is entitled to fair
hearing and defense against unjust i'm
putations. One of these. proceeding
from his party allies is so patent and fla
grant that we feel bound to say q word
in his behalf. This is the charge Of cow
ardice in the particular act Of his aban-
donmeut Of the State-house before an
advancing army Of 10000 citizens. In
Washington City and all over the North
the extreme Radicals complain that he
did not remain at the State-house and
meet the enemy at the Threshold, sword
in hand and perish like a man in de-
Tense of his rights and government.
Those fugacious and mendacious per
sonages, Messrs. West, Durrel, Lowell,
Benham, ct al, are especially emphatic
in condemnation Of the pusillanimity
Of Kellogg II is quite a neat answer OF

Of Spartan heroism when in bis
telegram to West he regrets the absence
Of his sanguinary friends in the moment

Crowns appear to have been in the
first place wreaths of weeds, wild flow
ers or leaves of oak, myrtle, laurel, olive
and other trees. Their original use was
momentary, to express honors or pleas
ures suddenly coming to pass. Victor
ious generals, brave soldiers and rever-
end priests received wreaths varying
according to their calliugs and deeds.
The perishable nature Of the materials
broaght in time the substitution Of gold
and silver for vegetable substances. The
earliest crowns of these metals appear
to have been limitations of the leaves
they replaced but they became perma-
nent ornaments, used regularly on great
occasions. The high priests mitre
among the Israelites was an early form
of crown, and the bishops Of the Greek
and Roman churches still wear such an
article. The Pope, who claims the title
Of Universal Bishop, wears mitre
encircled by three crowns, which, be-
fore the annexation of Rome To the
Kingdom of Italy, were taken to repre-
sent his three supreme authorities
ecclesiastical, civil and Judicial. The
diadem, a sort of fllet or cap of gold,
became common after the time Of the
Roman Emperor Constantine. About
the tenth century, when nearly all feu-
dal lords claimed to be independent SOW
ereigns, most of them assumed a sort Of
crown, which, as a sort Of coronet, still
figures on the coats Of arms Of many
aristocratic families in Europe. The
elder branch, however, is alone entitled
to use it in heraldic bearings. 1t was in
seeking to ascertain, without knowledge
Of chemical analysis, whether the king s
goldsmith had substituted a quality of
silver for gold when making a crown,
that Archimedes discovered the princi-
pie Of specific gravity-discovered that
a given weight Of a light substance,
when sunk in water, will displaee more
of the fluid than an equal weight of a
heavy one.
The Emperor Charlemagne was buried
in an imperial mausoleum, the corpse
seated on a throne, arrayed in his robes,
and with his crown on his head. A
thousand years passed away before the
tomb was opened; and when once the
light Of day entered, the men Of the new
age beheld the skeleton seated on the
throne, while the skull Of the great ruler
still wore the crown. Nerve, muscle
and vein had decayed, and returned to
their elements; but the bones had kept
their place while the earth whirled
through space, and the nations rushed
through time. and the crowned form still
held its kipgly seat
OF the immortal crown which these
things suggest, it is not our purpose
here to speak. But there is an earthly
crown to which we have not yet alluded,
and which surpasses, in real worth and
charm, all others ever contrived. II is
silver hair, honestly earned by life Of
pure and generous thoughts aud deeds.
This is Times crown; it sdorns the brow
whereou il rests more than any orna-
ment made with hands. and it lends a
noble dignity to the lowliest face.

TIE Nashville Banner, of yesterday,
says; Tennessee bonds are now down
to fifty cents. Their depression has Of
late been mach remarked. The cause
of it can only be explained by the fact
perhaps, that railroad companies want
bonds, and they desire to obtain them al
the lowest figure possible. Another
thing which has had a tendency to
greatly depress them is the failure Of
crops and fear that the January inter
est will not be paid. In conversation
had with Dr. VIM. Morrow. State Treas
urer, he said the State would pay the
January interest on the bonds"

however, a dawning sense of returning
justice observable, and recent occurren
ces in South Carolina and elsewhere
have tended greatly to open the North
ern mind to the grievances of Southern

plain of sectional legislation and great
injustice, it is to be hoped that the great
body of the American people will become
better informed, and that with few
years more of patience and prudence
all the States viii be restored to their
places in the Union under the Constitu-

when one.third of the nation is oppressed
