War in Louisiana.

The news from New Orleans this
(Frday) morning is that open war has
broken GU in that city between the
revived McENDRY government and
the KELLOGG government. a vast
mob held possession of Canal street

his absence) issued proclamation call
ing on the citizens to arm and drive
out the KELLOGG usurpers. A bloody
encounter took place in the after p; rt
of the day in which many persons were
killed, Order is still unreStOred. Two
companies of United States troops were
in the city and reglnent more ON
their way. We presume their presence
will be felt to-day. The state of things

cribed as an organized hell

Mr.. j. w. Nichols, the energetic Su.
perintendent of the Western Union
lines in this city, proposes to extend
telegraplic connection at once from
Fort Laramie to Red Cloud. and from
Red Cloud into the Black Hills, as tho
tide OF miners starts in that direction.
Red Cloud is only fifty miles from the
rich discoveries of precious minerals
made by General Custer.
The line from Fort Laramie Ito
which post the telegraph is now i'll
operation to Red Cloud will be about
- miles in length. Mr.. Hibbard, con
tractor Of the Western Union lines,
will take charge Of the work at once,
and finish the work in thirty days

A TREMENDOUS READER.

Probably no author Of his time ha!
read more than Carlyle. He actuail,
devours, and hs devoured books ever
since he was ten years old. He will &C
through an ordinary volume III two
hours, and though he may not con each
page, he will find in it all that is wor
thy. His memory is prodisious, not
only for generals, but for details. lie
could repeat poetry by the ell; he
never does, however, for he is always
ayerring that he hates p0etry-that
the greatest barils have crippled their
thought, and limited their range, by
rhythm and rhyme. He thinks Homer,
Dante, and Shakespeare would have
been greater had they expressed them
selves in prose. Nevertheless, lie is a
poet-a poet, not without, but inditfer-
ent to form. He has the reputation
of being better acquainted with all
subjects, Historic, philOsophic, literary
and scientific than any living Briton.
For years and years he is reputed to
have read on all average five volumes
a day, and to have skinned eight or
ten more. Reading has ever been a
passion with him, and he has said that
his idea of heaven would be to be
turned into an inexhaustible library of
new and good books, where he could
brouse for all eternity. He estimates,
have heard, that he has CLEANED the
contents of fully one hundred thous-
and volumes, which, when we consider
his voracity, rapidity, trained eyes and
mind, is not at all unlikely. There is
harsll " a curious and remarkable book
in the British Museum that he is not
more or less familiar with. A gentle
mans ordinary library he could eat
,p-all that is worth eating, that is
in a single fortnight.
1t is asserted that q rich merchant,
who had collected FIVE or six thousand
rare works, once besOught the author
to dine with him, in order to look at
his library. The bibliOphile, allured
by literary hunger, went three hours
before the time announced. When
the merchant got home, and asked his
guest to. look at his books, his guest
replied: "Why, mon, pvc finished
em.o
