CONFEDERATE REDIVIDUS.

We read in the Richmond Enquirer of 6
reunion of the famous Confederate bat
terry, the Richmond Howitzer Company
the marching Of the organization headed
by band Of music, the occupancy of a
new armory, the, presentation of com.
pany banner to the Howitzers, and a
splendid banquet, participated in by dis
tinguished Confederate officers. The drill
hall, the Enquirer says, had been "deco-
rated by fair hands with wreaths, crosses,
festoons, miniature cannon, battle names
and mottoes-all in evergreen-and with
Confederate battle flags and paintings
of memorable names and scenes of the
war" 1t was beautiful and gladdened
the hearts of those who did their level
best to overthrow the government of the
United States. The entire exercises, the
flags and the sentiments offered and re-
sponded to, showed the animus of a peo-
pie only too willing to form new Con
federacy or attempt the capture of the ex-
listing government.
While such demonstrations are made in
Virginia, aided and abetted by Governor
Walker, who spoke at the Confederate re-
union, we see Georgia aroused with the
old war spirit, applauding the reasonable
mouthings of B. H. Hill, and blindly fol-
lowing his lead. General Hill said in the
House Of Representatives at Atlants that
secession was mistake but no cri6ll
that Radicalism (meaning Republicanism)
was a crime. He asked his hearers if
they would have blood or empire? He
declared himself ready for war; but for
buncombe said the South would fight un-
der the old flag of our fathers, the stars
and stripes.
General Hills love for the old flag is
extremely touching. A few months since

streets at a military display; it was not

THE CANAL GIVES WAY TO rae JErr1Es

Id6 CANAL GIVES WAY TO THE JETTIES
Those who from the beginning have
consistently advocated the canal, and
have not yet changed their faith in favor
OF the jetties, have seen. with more sorrow
than anger, the constant increase in
strength of its opponents. When the
present Congress assembled not only the
whole Louisiana delegation, but nearly
all from the Mississippi valley, were de-
voted to the canal project. The delega-
ton Of hundred Congressman were
unanimous in expressing their approval,
and the enthusiastic meeting on the Belle
Lee, where all pledged their States for it,
seemed to assure it. Captain Eads was
then unmentioned.
Since that day the canal has steadily
lost and the jetties gained in the favor of
those same Congressman until now the
only chance for free outlet to the gulf
is by the scheme of Captain Eads.
Among those who never lost sight of
the pledgethey'm made to the people that
the canal should be pressed with all the
ability and influence at their command our
Representatives, Sheldon, Sypher, Morey
and Darrau, have been conspicuous. They
have performed their part. At the last
session they succeeded in placing the
canal bill in such state that it could have
been again taken up at this. 1t is not
their fault that it has not been done.
Messrs. Sheldon and Sypher have
always been pot only in favor of the canal,
but opposed to the jetties as scheme
that could only result in disaster. Mr.,

allowed to wave over the Capitol or Fai1
Grounds on certain occasions.
But we need not go to Georgia or vir-
ginia for indications OF q returning re-
bellion. Apaper in New Orleans has ap-
pealed to the people North and West,
such Of them as profess to hold the same
opinions, to arm themselves for the COM
ing conflict, and the next Presidential
canvass will probably be made upon a
Union issue, with the Southern Demo-
Gratis motto at the masthead
rule or national government ruin. And
the Southern States will go on, gaining
nothing by experience, nursing only in
tolerance, retarding commercial and agri-
cultural prosperity, quarreling for Office,
and making, always, things worse. With
in ten years, in these States, new crop
of young men have sprung into manhood;
they have learned no trades, and living
according to their wits, make a poor
living. These young men are restless,
and burn with the shotgun fever. They
have been reared under the impression
that somebody has deprived them of
rights which they can regain with the
musket, and we have seen how willingly
and readily they band together and shoot.
The disagreements are all political. o.
casionally are found few sensible men
out of their element, in Democratic
company, but they are impotent for good;
their efforts for peace and compromise are
frowned down by the intimidating mob.
They are headed off by such double
loaded arguments as appeared in the
Bulletin yesterday: 'However plausible
may lie the promises made you, however
beautiful the picture you may paint of the
and peace to follow, it is all
dreadful delusion, q hideous snare" Such
people will not have or try peace, and
The country at Large is weary of trying to
help them. Where will it all end? The
general government would do a more
thing by stopping all appro-
oriations for internal Improvements and
build instead national insane asylums for
he crazy political warriors of the South.

Sheldon said that since we must have the
jetties the sooner the experiment was
shown to be humbug the better. He
and our other Congressman whose efforts
have been steadily directed toward bene-
fitting New Orleans and the State, will
always be held in grateful remembrance
by the people who are not yet convinced
that there is any other road to CONNER
cial prosperity than the canal.
The reasons for voting in favor of the
jetty bill the other day. by those who
have professed no confidence in them,
are probably almost the same that ami
mated the Chamber of Commerce in
recommending Southwest Pass. They
can not be better expressed than in the
language of Mr.. sypher himself.
Mr.. Conger having the floor on the
fina! passage of the bill. yielded few
minutes Of his time, and Mr.. Sypher said
1t is very short time to say anything on
this subject. will say that have not

the canal. still believe that it is the best
way to improve the mouth of the Missis-
sippi river, but when l can not get what l
believe is right, and what I want, l will
take what can get, and therefore will sup
port this bill.
We had an investigation on this subject
by seven engineers of the United States
army, six of whom reported in favor Of
canal. We passed an act, however, allow
ing the President to appoint commission
OF seven engineers, able in their profession,
and they reported, six in favor of the jetty
system, and one only in favor Of the canal
system. Here, then, is pretty fair balance
Of the engineer talent of the country, and
they have left US to decide, we who are not
engineers, what we shall do on this subject
Of the improvement of the Mississippi
river, and to make the necessary appropria.
ton for it,
If this bill is properly guarded and the
appropriation shall not be squandered in
fruitless experiments, I am satisfied with
it. am in favor of an improvement whether
by jetty or by canal, but give US something
and as soon as possible.

yielding to me even for such brief time.

"NATIONALIZING.u

To be applauded as an orator at the
base Of Clay Statue is high triumph. To
head an armed body of drilled soldiers on
the march to overthrow a government
and sack its patronage is great glory. In
each case the honored individual is sur
rounded by friends and has everything
his own way, with none to gainsay him.
To visit Washington as the assumed rep
resentatives Of the whole people, with an
assumed right to represent a political
force of five or six out Of nearly three hum
dred congressional votes, or one out of
thirty-seven States, is far less calculated
to inspire feelings Of vanity. The voice
or the arm that is all-powerful at
the base of the Clay Statue, or in mob
march to seize and distribute spoils, are
both insignificant when they demand at
Washington City the postponement of all
the questions pending in Congress and
the naturalization Of the party quarrels of
State of about the fifth magnitude
State which, if the Democratic policy of
depriving the colored people of all politi-
cal rights should succeed, would be re-
duced almost to the grade of Territory
in point Of political influence. For
magnates of such pretensions to have
to haunt the lobby of C Congress, to watch
at half opened doors and to see the more
favored constituents of the larger States
admitted to conferences must certainly be
Notifying to high-souled ambassadors
accustomed to inspire terror and enforce
obedience. Then to wait 'stwo hours in
the ante-room" of President whom they
daily denounce as brute and tyrant
must have filed the cup Of humiliation.
We can conceive nothing like this specta-
Gle since the autocratic princes of India
were compelled to sue to the merchants of
England in Leadenhall street. But these
political potentates have taught our peo-
pie that things can not be carried by local
force under the government of the United
States. A mere row on the forecastle
does not shake the ship nor cause her to
defect point from her destination, and
the attempt to compel the naturalization
Of contested election has been a dismal
and disastrous failure, and those who
have gone on to Washington with
such lofty pretensions will return
humbled and instructed as to the very
small concern which this nation takes in
the dictation of neighborhood agitators.
Probably it will be better for all parties
that our family adjustments shall be
made at home. 1t will save much scandal.
1t would be much more to the advantage
Of Louisiana if Congress would national
lze her river outlets than her street riots,
and her levees than the miseries of her
people.
