into the coach and jumped in after her.

the Peace.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-THE Republican,
referring 10 the present condition of affairs,
says:
In the mean time the process of law is para-
lyzed. NO business Is transacted in the courts,
and but little is done in the markets. The peo-
pie are excited and uneasy. Some mercantile
houses are failing and others are in financial
STRAITS Scarcely any produce is coming to
market and stocks of goods in stores find no
market.
Gov. Packard, having been asked to promise
tbat no effort will be made on his part to dis
turb the existing state of affairs for the present,
reluctantly consents, and says in letter to
Gen. Augur:
think the request would have been more
appropriate Immediately after my Inauguration
and before any of the main branches of the
government had been taken possess on of by
tie opposition. 1t is matter of notority that
after the order of the Secretary of War of tbs

League, on the 10th instant, repaired to the
state arsenal and took tberefrom into their own
keeplng i've pieces OF artillery, including two
datllng guns; that garrison of armed men
was placed in and around the Supreme Court
buildings; that the following day, the 18th inst.
