^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Legislative Proceedings. ? - On Wednesday, the 14th. in the ci a concurrent resolution from the F requesting the Senators represents State of South Carolina in th3 Cor of the United States to resten their tions, was received, and thereupon ? ly debate ensued. From the Daily on we obtain the following synop the discu- sion : Mr. Hayne believed in being mas mous andpostponintr tho same, and: ing to the^Senators that some thing: had said could be for tho present looked; one of them had said wi oath ho didn't care what tho Legis] did: tho time when they could them what was the opinion of thei stituents would come. Mr. Whittemoro was also for poi ing the matter indefinitely ; the r< tion bad come hot haste from the I on tho spur of the moment. Se Robertson had been two years o amnesty measure; it was his pet; h< that, -ts it required a two thirds yo lock Sumner's amendment to it \ lose both ; the Senator had been 1 inc: the measure day by day, and ha enfin a statesmanlike manner rega it. When Sumner was pressinf amendment, Robertson had asked atora to stick by pure and simple ai ty, and when both Robertson and yer found they could not get all asked for, they both on the final vol ted'for the amended bill. Mr. Johuston spoke at leugth in of the adoption of the resolution, an not believe with the Senator from lington that if he could not get a \ loaf it was weil to take a half one. was sr.tisticd that Sumner under himself as well as Sawyer did, anc his bill had been pigeon-holed so lc was high time he tacked it on everyt he would not care to-morrow if <? mai was allowed to vote, but he den ed for his race all the rights they When the question of civil rights . np Senators Robertson and Sa wye: got their duty to tho constituents placed -.hem where they are. We re( and ask of them, and will prove to I whon "hey come back, that this i very measure wc sent them there t vocate. I am willing to forgive, 1 demand of them our rights, and t Senatoi-s did promise to do everythir their power to secure them to the pf who lilted them into the positions occupv. Mr.'Ailen wanted to know if Ser Sawyer had acted any differently in matter than he had always acted. Mr. J ohnston. I propose to let t know we are disgusted. Mr. Swails wanted to know of Johnston if amnesty had been his scheme. Mr. Johnston. Equality before the first, amnesty second; I do not consc tiously believe that it is in tho mint heans of any white Senator on this 1 to'vote that any black man shall 1 equal rights with them. Mr. Whittemore asked the gentle: not to discriminate on account of cob Mr. Swails advocated strongly the i ponement of the resolution, a?d cou ered the consideration of it a was time, arid thought to raise such a ques of color, as the Senator from Sumter done, was walking on dangerous groi and that if his constituents undt-rs him he would never be in the Senat J ag Mr. Nash advocated postponement, believed that the Senators had don< the best. If he thought they intende deprive bis race of rights, he would to suspcud them as quick as any He didn't believe they intended to against the civil rights bill, and said names of many prominent Republic who voted "no," and these Senators said they were willing to vote lor a s rate civil rights bill, and saw no hop getting either measure through by necessary voto with both tacked toget No accounts by newspaper, telegraph, anywhere else, had given any reason i the Senators would not vote for a c rights bill. Mr. Corbin favored indefinitely p paning the matter ; first, because the : olution is not a true statement, as car proven by the journal of the Senate, it was wanted that these Senators sho resign because they were not liked, so ; Dut not publish to the world a la hood. He had heard Senator Sawyer that if the two measures came up togt er both would be defeated. He belie the House acted under a mistake in j ting up the resolution and acted hast; Mr. Smalls was very earnest in ad eating the adoption of the resolution, ? Mr. Arnim was against it because he not wan: any more elections for Senat now. The rc elution was postponed bya v of 17 to .">. On Thursday, the 15th, in'the Sen? the Report of tho Committee on the C< tested ! .ancaster Election was laid on ? table during the Chairman's (Corbin absence. In consequence of this, Cori and Wilson entered aprotest, and resit; ed from the Committee. The Senate passed a Bill providing 1 the appointment of three Trial Justie for Charleston city, with annual salarh It also passed a Bill to incorporate t! Charleston Water Works Company. In the House, the consideration of ii motion to indefinitely postpone the co: sideraci?n of thesubsticute, (by Lawrem Cain) for section 1, was resumed, an the question being taken, it was n< agreed to. Lawrence Cain withdrew thosubstituti and offered the following in lieu thereof " Tho First Congressional District, t j be composed of thc counties of George town, Williamsburg, Horry, Mario: Marlboro, Chesterfield, Darlington, Sum ter. Thc Second Congressional District, I bo composed of the counties of Charlea ton, Beanfoit. The Third Congressional District, to b< composed of the counties of Barnwell Aiken. Orangeburg, Lexington, Edge held, Richland. Colleton. The Fourth Congressional District, u be composed of the counties of Fairfield Newberry, Laurens, Anderson, Abbe ville, Pickeus, Oconeo. The Fifth Congressional District, to be composed of thc counties of Kershaw, Lancaster, Chester, York, Union, Spar tanburg. Greenville. A long debate followed on the substi tute, when Mr. Jamison called tho pre vious question on thc whole matter. Thc bill was finally passed to a third reidiuy by a vote of GI to 35. Cain's amendment to the nev.- Appro priation Bill levying a tax of seventeen and a bal f mills on the dollar was, alter discussion, referred to a Special Com mittee. The Bl i.o Ridge Bill passed a third reading in the House, and was sent to tin Senate. The Governor has approved of a num ber of Acts; among them is an Act v> abolish the Land Commission ; Joint Resolution to provide for tnc redemption of certain lands, sold under order. ?, General Tanby ; ana'-t to authorize Clerk - of Court to take testimony in certain cases, Ac. In the House, a bill to relieve the Mtatt of South Carolina oi all liability for ir guaranty of the bonds of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, by providing foi the securing and destruction oi the sam?, was passed by 81 yeas to li* naya. Lawrence Cain was the only one of Uk Edgefield delegation woo voted in thc negative. He saw chat the means px o posed for securing the destruction of the State's liability, was nothing more nor less than a mammoth swindling scheme for manipulation by the Scott King, uno very properly declined to sustain the measure. In the House a New" Appropriation Bill was introduced levying a tax oi sev enteen and a half mills. The House adopted a resolution to ad journ February 26th, subject to a cai! ol a majority ol' the members. During discussion of the adjournment question, one Mr. Henderson, from New berry, avery rural member, moveu to amend, by substituting the words " sub ject to a call by {'?-o) tiiree-tiiirds oi theil I members," and thia :>ut .> i... . ?a? adopted very much to thc disgust, oi mi member from Fairfield, wno swore roundly that the member from N?wberry didn't know that three thirds meant a \ whole, and that he couldn't even parse 1 lis as a verb-which iu J. _ r. i> i*,r->ba-11 [feie. Finally a votw was obtained ou the J i original resolution and it was adopted md sent to the Senate, which body post poned its consideration. Friday's proceedings ba the Senate were void of general interest. A bill was introduced in the House by Lee to impose a stamp doty, after March 1st, upon all bonds, mojtgages, notes, drafts, complaints, answers and demur rers. The tax ranges from 10 cents on 8l(i0 to $6 on $10.000. Jervoy introduced a bill to amend the election law. It provides for the election by the Legislature of the commissioners of election (now appointed by the Gover nor.) and requires them to- count the vote immediately upon the closing of the polls. It contains no provision for giv< ing the opposition any representation upon the board of manager?. Whipper introduced the New York Bondholders Bill, providing for the scal ing bf the bonds at the rate of seventy five per cent. The Bill appoints J. L. Orr, J. B. Palmer and L. D. Childs, a Board of Commissioners to superintend tho conversion, which is to be transacted by a Bank or Trust Company, in New York. Ten millions of registered stock i? to be issued and signed by the Gover nor and Treasurer, and countersigned by the President and Cashier of the Bank or Trust Company, and this is to be ex changed for tho outstanding State debt, amounting according to the Bill to fifteen million seven hundred and sixty-seven thousand and nine hnndred and eight dollars. The Bill provides for levying of a tax of four mills on the dollar to pay interest on new stock and setting aside of the Sinking Fund; also contains a provision that the debt shall not be in creased except by a vote of the people. Green, the negro who lives in Colum bia and represents Edgefield in the House, introduced a bill to compel the county commissioners of Edgefield, Laurens and Newberry counties, to levy a special tax. Referred to the Committee on Ways ind Means. A bill to apportion the members of the House of Representatives among the several counties of the State, according to their population, was made the special order for Monday at 2 P. M. S. J. LCP, from the Committee on Re moval of Political Disabilities, reported a resolution, that the Congress of the D'-dted States be respectfully requested to remove the political disabilities of Mr. Thomas Crymes, of Anderson county. Agre-?d to and the resolution was sent to the Se?are. Mobley introduced a Bill to charter tlic Spartanburg and Port Royal Railroad Company. Saturday's proceedings in the Senate were unusually void of anything worthy of special mention. The House was not in Session. For the. Advertiser. T?? the Physicians ol'Edgefield. It may not be known to some of you living in the extreme portions of the Dis trict, that a Medical Society holds its meetings quarterly in the Village. The importance of such an organization has long been felt by the Profession. Drs. Laborde, H. Burt, R. T. Mims, Hibler and some others, about forty years ago, made a call upon their brethren for the purpose of entering into a Medical Association, which was responded to-a constitution was adopted, officers elected and all the preliminary arrangements made to conduct the Society, but when the time arrived lor its first meetingjit proved to be "still born,"-it was a life less thing. Al>out twenty yosts agro T>rs. Reedy, thc elder Teagues, Bland, E. J. Mims, and others, resolved to make another ef fort to accomplish what had failed in the hands of their predecessors, but they too made a failure. About a year ago a call appeared in the columns of the Adverti ser over the signatures of several promi nent physicians, requesting a meeting for the purposo of accomplishing the praise worthy- object had in view/by our friends to whom wc have alluded, and mest oi whom are now no more. The first meet ing was held in February of last year, when a partial organization was effected; the second was held in March ensuing, when a misunderstanding threatened to blast our cherished object, and for sev eral succeeding meetings misgivings were depicted upon the countenances of the members, and some of the best friends of the Society were heard to express fears that another failure would bo made; but confidence has been folly restored, regu lar accessions are being u, de to the ranks, and the Society now numbers about twen ty five active working members. Should the deliberations for the future be char acterized by the harmony which lias marked them in thc past, there need be no apprehension of any such thing as fail. Wliilo it may be needless to mention thu object of the Society, (progress in medi cal science,) you are reminded that the benefits to its members will be reciprocal. The junior mein hers will profit hythe experience and practice ol" the senior, and titey in turn will receive wholesome i:istruction from the tonner who have been more thoroughly instructed in the modern improvements, not only from the ?chot is, but from tho books and periodi cals of the day. It is hoped then thai every medical man in thc District will Uike an interest in an organization that promises BO mnch, not only to the Pro fession, but to thc community generally. Arrangements have already been made to have the Society represented in the Medical Association of Soutli Carolina, which holds its next meeting in Colum bia in April next. The next meeting of the Edgefield Medical Society will be held as hereto fore i;i Edgefield Village, on the first Monday in April, at which time a free exchange of opinion will be given upon thc Veratrum Viride. Essays also will be read by two of tho members. Let us then come together as a band bf | brothers, and show to thc world that it can ne longer be said of us in truth that we ure influenced by petty jealousies. Lot it be. manifest to all that thc advance mont ot'our noble calling-the Divine Art-is our prime object. L. . F; L Cardozo, Secretary of State, who, sometime since, tendered his resij nation to Governor Scott, in order to.ac cept a Professorship in the Howard Uni versify, has been prevailed upon to with draw his resignation, and oontinuo in his p isition in this State. .. (fen. Wade Hampton and Gen. Butler left Columbia Thursday morning for Washington. Tho Phoenix learns th il the object of .their visit is to denounce i.c: vile calumny of Edmunds, of Ver mont, who, in a recent speech in the Sen ate, charged that they and Gen. Kershaw were leaders of thc Ku-Klux Klan in S:>uth Carolina. Gen Kershaw, it ia said, will join Genl's. Hampton and Butler in Washington. figr Captain Foulke, of thc Guard at the Penitentiary, who was convicted in Columbia las' week of manslaughter in Ute case of Jefferson Brown, a convict at tho Penitentiary, who died while under going the punishment of the shower bath, before sentence was passed, received a pardon from Governor Scott. The French Journal des Debate, com menting on the controversy over thc Ala bama claims, declares that England and America are both wrong, and fears that a protracted misunderstanding may lead Lo a rupture of relations between the two countries. _ 7 t ??V- The famine in Persia still contin j ?es, with 2,000 deaths a day.

'respective Legalization of High way Robbery. Taxes! Taxes! Taxes! The Radical ?arty in South Carolina seem fatally bent ipon draining the white people of the Jtate-the property holders-of their very ast cent. There are now three Tax*measures be bre the Legislature-with a fair ehance )f being carried, for all we know-which, h their practical working, would amount ;o ucthing less than open confiscation. One of these is a Lill to levy a tux of seventeen mills on thc dollar for the en suing year. Another is the Stamp Act, rehash of the U. S. Internal Revenue Law, rf which we shall speak further hereaf :cr. And a third is thc License Law, (vhich will c?mp?l all professions and ;rades to take out a license. Truly R? rablican legislation in South Carolina oecomes year by year more like the work jf the devil himself-without honor, without decency, without humanity. The Taxpayers of South Carolina ought not, and we feel certain will not, submit to this imposition, of tax burdens so un just, so unnecessary, so oppressive. Should these new measures become law, let the people resist payment, and in Con vention assembled petition the General Grovernment for redress. Hurry-Skuny, Higgledy-Piggledy, Pell-IUell ! These jumbly words will describe the ?rreat struggle which is to take place du ring the coming summer and full for place and pelf, in South Carolina. Here arc tho offices to besought for: Gover nor; Lieutenant-Governor; Treasurer; Comptroller General ; all the Members of the General Assembly ; ' fifteen Coun ty Senators; Sheriffs, Clerks of Court, and Judges of Probate for many of the Counties ; School Commissioners for all the Counties, five Representatives in Congress; a United States Senator to hold his seat for six years ; and an im mense train of subordinate offices toe numerous to mention. The field is large -the plunder most inviting-the temp tation great! Radicals, Half-Radicals, (of whom many will spring up, we fear) True-Blue Democrats, Possum Demo crats,. Reformers, Moderate Men, and God only knows who not, may all min glo in the turbid strife, And happy will be the few who sigh for none of the places! Terrible Downfall of a Friend of * President Grant. And not only a friend, but an imitator. We allude to Harrison B. Reed, the car pet-bag Governor of Florida, who, a few days b?ck, was impeached by his own party. This is truly a pleasing evidence of the reaction going on iu the country against official corruption and wrong-do ing. On the 12th inst., the resolution impeaching Gov. Reed, passed the House of Representatives and was sent to the Senate and officially received by that body. Lieut. Gov. Samuel T. Day, a "Virginian and a Republican of worthy character, has taken the oath of office as acting Governor." The fight is entirely in the Radical ranks, between the car pet bag ring from the North-which has plundered the State already of millions, and is now scheming to squeeze the last dollar from it before it goes into bank ruptcy-and the Republicans permanent ly settled thero and identified with the interests of the .state. The passage of the impeachment resolution is looked upon ns a stunning blow to the " ring," and there is brit little doubt of Reed's final conviction. Of course the acts complain ed of eau be clearly proved, and aro suf ficient to send Reed to thc State peniten tiary, much less oust him from the gov ernorship. North Carolina got rid of HoTdon, and now Florida Ls about to get rid of Reed, but, alas ! there is not decency and honor enough in the Legislature of South Car olina to get rid of Scott-tho most deprav ed and corrupt of them all. The .Revolutionists Triumphing in Mexico. Mexico is in a state of wild chaos ami anarchy. The revolutionists, who are in rebellion against the authority- of the dictatorial Juarez, are triumphing in al most all quarters. The revolutionists have, it is said, thirty thousand fighting men, and a number of important cilios have already fallen into their hands. And they are in possession too of the greater parts of the prominent States of Puebla and Vera Cruz While some of tho Slates have revolutionary govern ments, many are still und?r the strong military arm of Juarez. Trade, indus try and social quiet ?re all at an end in the country, and Mc-ico-always sub ject to political disorder-is now a Spec tacle to excite the pity of nations. Jua rez, the President, is in such desperate condition that it is said lie has applied to President Grant for assistance, and that President Grant has replied to him that ie would support him as a bust alternative. Wc had rather hear of Grant protecting he whole Mexican nation. Though, pcr iaps, until the people themselves for ually request it, bc is wiso to hold oft". Officers of Grand Chapter. At thc annual convocation of thc Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons for South karolina, held in Charleston, on the 14th, he following officers were elected for tho ;nsuing Masonic year: James A. Hoyt, Anderson, G. H^P. James Birnie, Greenville, D. G. H. P. E. W. Lloyd, Florence, Gr. K. W. H. D Gaillard, Pendleton, Gr. S. Rev. John M. Carlislo, Charleston, R. ft A., Gr. Chaplain. G.

Meyer, Charleston, Gr.- Sentinel. A TRULY SAU CASUALTY.-Thc Union Times, of the 10th instant, relates the fol owing particulars of a truly sad casualty hat occurred near that place on the 16th nstant: A very melancholy, accident occurred icar the Saw Mill in this town last Fri lay, by which Little Charles Allen, aged ibout ten yeurs, son of C. L. Allen, lost lis life, at the hands of his companion ami 'riend, Charles Willard, about fourteen years old. It appeared, upon, a thorough investiga ron, thut the boys were bird hunting, hav ng only one gun between them, which .hey shot alternately. The gun was in ;he hands of Willard when a bird was liscovered by the boy Allen, who wished ;o shoot it. . Willara also wished to shoot ind refused to give up the gun, when a :ustle ensued. The gun was thrown across Willard's shoulder, with the muzzle point ng behind him. Allen grabbed the gun jeliind Willard, resting it upon his simul ier also, and in pulling it, it went off, sending the whole load into Allen's back, idling him almost instantly. t harley Allen was a bright, intelligent ittle boy, and his untimely end is a sad :onimentary upen the prevailing practice )f allowing such children the use of firc irms to roam about the woods with. ? From England. - WASHINGTON, February 20.-The World's joudon correspondent telegraphs that gladstone has written an exceedingly imiable letter, disavowing his speech in he House, and asserting that it was in ?rreptly reported. In reply to an enquiry n the House, whether the letter of the orrespohdefit of th? World waa genuine) Jladstone replied : " Yes. It is a letter isking an explanation in regard to my peecS," For the Advertiser. MB. EDITOR :-Notwithstanding th dark, drab clouds overhung the skies, found myself on Thursday morning, tl 8th of Feb. en route for Augusta, to jo the "Excursion Party," to the muc talked-of "Mardi Gras" festivities, New Orleans. Just here, however, brief explanation of the term " Mar Gras" may not be out of place. It is French term, meaning literally Fat Tue day, which is thc day preceding Ai Wednesday, thc beginning of Lent, d ring which season, as we all know, it h been the life-long custom of Catholics devote themselves to their Church, ai to lasting and penance, refraining cutir ly fi-om all manner of worldly amus ment. And in Catholic countries, th day, Fat Tuesday, as it is common called, Ls one overflowing with eve: species of unbridled revelry andfantasl gayety, all of which is greedily enter? into by almost the whole population this great Roman Catholic Metropob New Orleans. As there is much more to relate, greater interest, I will pass briefly ov the monotonous journey from Augus to tho Crescent City, noticing only son of thc fine and striking scenes of natu that mark the way. On the afternoon of Friday, a party us were seated in the smoking car, e joying that greatest of luxuries, a go< cigar when some one suddenly exclaims "Stone mountain!" Rushing excited to the window, I saw, looming up in tl distance, one solid mass of stone, entir ly void of vegetation, except in a fe broken spots, through which some slur ed trees have struggled. Stono Mon tain, from the Railroad, is truly a mai cst sight ! Passing over the tiresome inte vening day, Saturday, we readied Mobi on Sundaj-about noon, where we stopp? for an hour. Tho universal admiratk of the party was excited by tho beautif Bay, which was thickly studded wii handsome steamers plying between th city and New Orleans. After feasting while on the beauty of this scene, tl whistle warned us that it was time return to the train, so with reluctance v turned our gaze from the lovely pictur Leaving Mobile, we passed through very low, marshy country, overgrow with tall grass, frequently coming i sight of tho glorious Bay, and aboi sundown a largo mass of bluo-blac clouds hung like a huge bird of prc over this vast waste of waters. At 8 o'clock P. M. to tho great joy i all, tho whistle sounded for New Orlcan and in a few moments I found myse rattling in a coach through the streets i this great City, m search of lodging which after much difficulty I sueeeedc in finding. After supping and rcstiu for a short timo, my companions an myself walked out for a gas-light vie of tho city. We had not proceeded fa when, horrible to our Protestant eyes! w beheld a brilliantly lighted Theatre, froi which floated sweetest strains of musii We hesitatod for many moments, bi finding it impossible to resist the tempti tion, entered, for tho first time in ou lives, a Theatre on Sunday night. Tb Play was very brilliant and exciting and ended about midnight. Monday morning dawned bright an lovely, and golden sunshine clothe every object in lustrous splendor as found myself in the midst of crowde streets, wending my way I knew nc exactly whither. Soon coming in sigh of the tall mast poles of tho ships, I di rcctcd my steps to that noted river, th Mississippi, where I saw a vast nurabe of vessels, steamers, and boats ol ever; kind, and from every quarter. I crossei over to tliesmall portion of the city, on th other side of the river, but soon findinj myself disgusted with the liltliiuess o th? place, I gathered a few shelfs, am hurriedly returned. The remainder o the dav I passed in looking around a tho handsome dwellings, beautiful stores line horses and other varied attraction ol* thc gay city. Here allow mo to spca! ol' thc lovely lind liddy dressed WOiuei that met ray gaze in every direction And about the ladies of New Orlcan: there seems to linger, particularly, i halo of that most exquisitely delicate anc relined fascination so common to th< daughters of tho South,-Beast Butler tc thc contrary notwithstanding. And bj thc way, there is another circumstance which I must mention. In the afternoon Mr. Dye of Augusta and myself wer? riding out, and calling at tho residence of a relative of his, we nietsevcral younjj ladies, and in a lew moments, under tilt influence ol' their relined manners, wc felt perfectly free and easy ; and really J spent one oi' the pleasantest hours I evei passed in my life, among perfect stran gers' Such is the peculiar grace and suavity of these South-Western belles. On Tuesday, the grand day of days, wc were again greeted by brightness and sunshine. To-day I felt almost com pletely exhausted, so I walked very leisurely up Canal Street, and after loiter ing around till about noon, returned to the hotel. By this time however I found that tho streets wore fast filling with neb]de. and.that unless I got a good stn d immediately, and kept it, I would miss thc Urand Procession which was to pa .ade that afternoon, beginning at two o'clock ; the design ol' wliich procession was t', celebrate and enhance more high ly the yaj-ety ol' Mardi (iras, lt is styled The Carnival Procession of Mardi (iras, and is nothing more, or rather nothing less, thana mimic representation of al most every sphere of life and every age of history. The crowd increased very rapidly, "and long before the procession (ame,"tho whole street, and all the win dows, balconies, and evory attainable place, were packed and jammed incon ?.eivably. Finally some one shouted "They Aro Coming!" And then there was a* sudden hush and all eyes were turned in the right direction, and soon tho head of tho Procession had reached the St. Charles Hotel. It was divided into five huge divisions, between each of which marched a very tint-, band of musicians Tho whole was headed by the "King of thc Carnival" and his attendants, all ?ressod in vc; > gorgeous costumes, witli masks. Indeed the whole Procession was masked. The first division, headed by tho " Lord of the Yeomanly," was all on foot, in ranks of four, very appropriately cos tumed, and marching to the sound of magnificent music. Tho second division handed ny tho " Lord of the Carriages,'' confuted'entirely of carriages and bug gies, in which were ladies and gentlemen representing almost every imaginable character, allegorical, mythological am! historical. Thc third division, headed bv the " Lord of the Vans," contained all other vehicles than carriages, on wliich wore represented a variety of life scenes. Among tho best, was a repre sentation of " Agriculture;" it was an immense wagon, on which was placed a qua"tity of earth, set about with green boughs* with plough, ploughmen, ?fcc. Another, "Horticulture," was a similar wagon, with a collection of raro and magnificent Howers, which sent a de lightful perfume through the whole street n* it passed. And still another which was very amusing, " Plantation Lifo in thc South." It was a small ne gro cabin placed on a wagon, filled with little darkies who kept up a continual gabble and squalling, while on tho porch were an old man and wife who hugged and kissed as if they had just entered the honey moon. But if I should under take to describe too minutely, I will never havo done, so I will pass on quickly. The fourth division, headed by the "Lord of the Horses," was merely a large troup of very* handsomely and very grotesquely dressed horsemen. Tho fifth and last division contained all late-comers and stragglers, and those who had not been provided for in the other divisions. It was called " The Un attached." ' After passing down St. Charles Street, tho whole Procession stopped in front of die City Hall, where thc " King of the Carnival" mot and was duly presented to His Imperial Highness, the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, who honored the city with his presence during these fes tiv'itios. Tho City Hall whenco tho Grand Duke viewed these brilliant and fantastic scenes, was magnificently deck ed with evergreens and flags at every conceivable point, in the midst of which waved'Russia's National Banner. The Grand Duke is a handsome young man, living, breathing, walking, and drossing j not unlike other men. t. Thus ended this interesting, amusing and really instructive procession I And now we pass on to another which ook place at night, and far surpassassed a magnificence and splendor any thing if the kind it had ever before been my rood fortune to behold. This was the inniversary Procession of 44 The Famous dystick Krewe of Oomus,"-a secret irganizatibn of the most wealthy and ntelligent men of New Orleans. The design of the Krewe on this occa iion was to produce a representation of he "Dreams of Homer," all the tab eaux of which were represented on ?andsome cars of marble. One witnessing the' magnificent sights which suddenly burst through the dark less of night, m such resplendent glory, would almost feel that he had been flaced among the living and breathing Heroes of the Trojan War, beholding low the escape of the amorous Paris with Helen, the beautiful wife of Mene laus, and then the wrath of the Greeks m the siege of Troy, and then the fall of the mighty City, by the stratagem of the Wooden Horse, and then the wander ing of Ulysses in his return home after the fall of the city, and his downcast and rioomy countenance, when on his arrival, Se found his Kingdom wasted, mid the hand of his beautiful Penelope sought by many suitors. After the splendors of the Hiad and the Odissey, came the fun and humor of "The Frogs and Mice in Battle Array," then the gigantic Crabs, their Peace ma kers, all of which presented a scene in describably novel and mirth-provoking. And lastly the " Hjvmns of Homer," in which the principal personages were the noted twin brothers Castor and Pol lux, Pan and Drvape,jEsculapius and Ce res, the father of Medicino and the God dess of Harvest. | After passing throulh all tho principal streets, the " Krewe"fenterod the Varie ties TJicatre, where they gave a series of magnificent Tableaux in their ancient classic costumes, aud then reveled in the modern, no less than clasic, joys of dan cing flirting, and coquetting. During the journey homewards, noth ing of interest transpired, and on Sun day evening I found myself again within the sacred walls of " Homo, Sweet Home." C. P. D. England and the United states. The following is a statement of the real point of difference between England and tho United States, as given by a Wash ington correspondent of the Atlanta Sun: When Great Britain- and the United States created a High Joint Commission, with the authority. to arrange a basis of settlement for alleged difficulties existing between the respective Governments, the result was the " Treaty of Washington." This Treaty specially- stipulates that the respective 44 High Contracting Parties" shall, by a certain dat" have prepared their " case" for submission toa High Court o< Arbitration, rto be holden Geneva, Switzerland, composed of ru ling sovereigns. And it was further stip ulated that tho respective " High Con tracting Parties," in the preparation and presentation of their 44 case/' Bhould bo governed by facts, established usages, and the well recognized principles ol in tornational law. Tho United States being the plaintiff | in the case, in brief, ' charges and com plaints that Great Britain, as a Govern ment, during the late war . between the States, was: 1st, a friend of tho South: 2d, that belligerent rights.were accorded to tho South withont the consent of Lin coln's Administration; 3d, that the Ala bama and Capt. Sommes escaped from English waters and thereby destroyed thc commerce of the United States ; 4th, that the Queen's proclamation recogniz ing tho Confederacy asa Government de facto, with the escape-'of the Alabama and other cruisers, prolonged the war for two or more years, and for such violations of the laws of neutrality and internation al commodity. Great Britain is construc tively responsible for all losses and ex penses incurred by th?Unitcd States in suppressing the "rebellion" after and from a certain date, etc. Tho "case," as it is called, prepared by thc United States and; primed in book form having been submitted to the Brit ish Government, is so arrogant in tone, and extraordinary in: its statements oi l thc law and tho facts, that it is not only condemned, but denounced in the strong est terms by the Briliskpublic. A cable dispatch of'the 3d inst, says : "Chief Justice Cockburn has officially counseled the Cabinet ?hat Enland mast recodo immediately fljbm tho Treaty of | Washington, leaving Jkmeriea to decide between a new treatyjoj.war.'' The fact is, the " caSjK-as presented by thc United States is?ramsulting to tim English Govommcnf?fpat her statesmen and public press dec?ase* that their Gov ernment c'annotJna?fdn5t?tB dignity and self respect by a euGtrAssxm of the case to thc arbitrators, as, the matter now stands. English journals received by the hist steamer arc , unsparing in their criticisms on the American case, and as exponents of public sentiment are unu sually denunciatory, and defiant. The sudden and unexpected attitude of | Great Britain in this matter, has produc ed very considerable excitement in Wash ington. The probabilities of wai- and its effects and results, is the all-absorbing tonie. Of course, there will be no war, which reasons aro unnecessary to enu merate. Itis said,however, that an intense Radical politician said toa Canadian gen tleman on yesterday, that " England dare not go t<> war with tho United States, for any reason, because England had, lying at lier very door, a sleeping lion, in the Emerald isle." The Canadian respond ed, " that such was tho physical fact, but," said he, "is the United States any better situated? If England has lying at her door a sleeping lion, in the Emer ald Isle, has not tho washington Djmas ty a caged lion in the. Irelandized South, Waiting an opportunity to break the b?r&l and chains ny which it is at present held?'' The Radical enthusiast said he "guessed" our folks would fix it up, and "as lor himself, he did not believe in wars.*' ??~- The farmers of Georgia aro break ing up their stubble preparatory to the spring campaign. They will largely in crease thc breadth of cotton planted, to thc almost entire exclusion of corn. And in so doin'?, they will not act aswisomcn. Better be ready for an emergency. A war with England would cause cotton to sell a?, ruinously low figures, whilst pro visions would have a correspondingly upward tendency.
