THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The question of whether Louisiana
is to have new Constitution or not,
we notice. has received more attention
from the press Of the State during the
last few days than ever before; and
while goodly number of our ca
changes ale opposed to a Constitutions
al Convention, mostly from financial
point of view, nearly a.! are agreed
that we really do reed new Constitu-
ton.
Among other suggestions on this
subject, we notice one, which we
believe was first made by the New
Orleans Democrat, that merits some
consideration at least. and if found
feasible the plan may be adopted by
the Legislature. The suggestion is
that committee, composed of eminent
jurists and statesmen from different
parts of the State, be appointed to
compile new Constitution, or such
amendments to the old one as NAV be
deemed advisable, and report the same
to the Legislature for It's adoption or
rejection, subject of course to the rati-
fcation or rejection Of tie voters of
the State.
Now, we had never thought Of the
work being done any other way nor
by any other body than that of a
Constitutional Convention, according
to anrient usage but if it can be
done as well and at less cost by some
other method, we are decidedly in
favor of that other method. We are
not particularly anxious for a Con
/ vcntion but we DO think we need a
new Constitution. Just SO it is a
good one, it does not matter with Us
who frames it, except that the cheapest
plan is, in our opinion, the best, be
that what it may.
So far as we are concerned we can
manage to get along without Con
sttution as long as the other sovcr-
eigns Of the State can; and if it is
their desile to keep the old one as it
is, why, all we have to say is that
Burkis is willing.

Dr.J. P. Smcltzer has purchased valuable

it is to be under the fostering care of our

The Army OF NORTHERN VIRGiNIA.--Gen.
Harry lleth pays the following tribute to tho
army of Northern Virginiu in the Philadel.
phia Weekly Times:
Consider what the army of Northern Vir.
ginia had in one year accomplished, In 1862
10000 strong, it attacked the Federal army
100000 strong, and after seven days. fghtiu e
drove that army to shelter under it's gunboata.
Following up this success after q series of
engagements. Pope was driven across the Po.
tomoo. Then followed the battle of Sharps.
burg (Antietam), when possibly the fighting
capacity of the army of Northern Virginia
never shown brighter. Its numbers reduced
by fighting. fatigue and hard marching to less
than 40 900 strong,.it gained drawn battle
against it's adversary, who numbered about
100000 men. Then came fredericksburg.
where. with its ranks recupera,ed to $4,000,
it hurled across the Rappahannock River an
adversary who had crossed 10000. Then
follows that most daring and wonderful battle,
Chanoellorsvile, whore it again triumphed,
$4,000 strong against it's adversary, number
ing 1900, compelling him again to scck
shelter behind the Rappahannock. Aftor such
a series Of successes, with such disparity of
Numbers, is it wonderful that the army of
Northero Virginia und its grent leader should
have believed it capable eofaccomplshing any-
thing in the power .. IN army to accomplish
