Evelyn, the second number of which has reached us. prom ises to supply a real want long and keenly felt in the South. Heretofore enterprises of this sort have languish ed, chiefly from a lack of material sup port. We regard the Crescent Monthly as far superior to most of the maga zines in the North. There is a sub stantiality aud freedom from trashi ness about it which distinguishes it from many of its Northern cotempories. With proper encouragement an en couragement which Southern pride ought to evoke we doubt not the Crescent will attain a high standard in literature. We bespeak for it a liberal patronage. ISs- Gen. W. V. V. Wood, in a card published in the Natchez Courier, says he has never given up his inten tion to remove to Brazil, or that he has ceased to advise persons to go there. Natchez," he intimates, is his residence only until he is able to re move to the country he proposes to adopt as bis future home. Gen. W. says this in reply to some "carpers"' among whom he enumerates the Mo bile Register. A new reform is proposed in Eng land. The Bankruptcy bill now pend ing in Parliament provide for the abo lition of imprisonment for debt. The London Times says : "This change, at first desired on the ground of humanity, may now be defended on the simplest principles of common sense. If it were cruel to put a man in prison to lie there forever, it is absurd to put him there only for the purpose of taking him out again, and that at the public expense. With im prisonment for debt falls, as we appre hend, almost the whole jurisdiction of insolvency as opposed to bankruptcy. A vast amount of time and trouble hitherto expended in getting debtors who has no means of payment released from arrest, will be swept away, and persons will no longer obtain credit on the strength of the chance that some compassionate relative will re "leasethem from imprisonment. It is impossible to speak too highly of this change, whether viewed wtth refer ence to the principles of political economy, of law, or of morality. JfcVEt-OP3IEjrT OF THE OCTH-EB.-V RAILROADS. This is a question of vital impor tance to the people of the South. It presents a wide field for the investment of capital, and is one of the most fruit ful means for developing the resources of the Southern States, and building tip their cities. Take a map and look at the railroad lines in the Gulf States. Commence at Texas and go East by the Vicksburg and Shreveport Rail road to Vicksburg. Produce of all kinds coming down the Mississippi river can be landed at Vicksburg and transported by one continuous line of railroad, without any change, to Texas. In this there is but one point of trans fer and re-shipment, that at Vicksburg, for all articles of merchandise for Texas. There is, then, but one com mission to pay for receiving and for warding freight after it leaves the first shipper" s hands, at St. Louis, Louisville, Cairo or Ciucinnatti. All produce for Alabama, coining down the Mississip pi river, can be again shipped from Vicksburg and carried by cars without any change, to any point as far east as Selma, and, in the course of a 'tear or . so,to Montgomery, From Montgomery, through 'freight cars will be run to Atlanta and Augusta and but one change will take place between Savannah, Ga , and Mont gomery, Ala. It is contemplated to plaee a line of steamships of first-dass carrying capacity and accommodation, between New York and Savanah, and run fast freight trains between Savan nah and Montgomery. A merchant, then, who purchases his goods in New York, can ship them to Savannah, Ga., by steamship line, and in two or three days thereafter have them on the Misv'sigpi river, and from thence into thehrurt of Texas, iii the time it now take- to transport them from N. York to New Orleans. Independent of the time (jained. when this new arrange ment goes into etl'ect, the goods will pa-s through the hands of fewer com mission merchants, and the expenses will lie materially less. 'The price is always dependent, more or less, upon these expenses, and as they decrease. goods will also fall in price. It would take more space than we can allow for that purpose, o discuss the question in all its various phases. It was only our intention to hint at the revolution that will be made in a few months in the transportation of goods from the North to the South. By this new order of things, Mississippi will be vastly benefited, and Vicksburg will become a point of vast importance to her. Saw mills will spring up in her vast pine-forests, and her water courses will be lined with factories and mechanical works of all kinds, that will develop her resources and keep within her own limits that wealth which have heretofore helped so much to enrich the parvenues of New Eng land. The Hoards of Tolice of Mississippi. Some time since we alluded to the fact that out of sixty counties the Boards of Police of but seven had made a report to the Auditor of the number of indigent soldiers and their families who really needed relief. Since then the number has increased to twenty. The Legislature adjourned on the 5th or Gth December. Imme diately after the adjournment the Gov ernor caused a circular letter to be ad dressed and fowaided to the Presi dent of the Board of Polir each counij, ;f:a mem that the Legis lature had made a.i appropriation of 20 per cent, of the taxes for the bene fit of the indigent soldiers and their families. He then issued a proclama tion which was published in this paper and extensively copied in the State, to the same elfect; and warning them that the time in which the3' ought to make their report expired on the 20th May. Five months since the passage of the act have rolled away, and but twenty counties have reported that the" had any indigent soldiers needing the aid. The legitimate deduction to be derived from this is, that only twenty counties need the proffered aid. or the Boards of Police are very derelict in their duties. Let those who have heard of the generous appropriation of our Legislature, and who have ex pected to receive its benefits know where the responsibility rests." It would be unfair, manifestby so, to dis tribute the 60,000 to the twenty counties who have made their report. Yet, shall those who have stated how much aid they require be forced to await the tardy action of more ungen erous, more forgetful, and more care less Hoards ol Police of the other counties? If they hare been notified cf the Legislature's action, they have acted criminally in this matter by the little attention they have paid to it- -If they hare not heard of it, let them either take this journal, or some other paper, or resign their places to men who read the papers and who know what is going on in the world. We hope that the press will again call the attention of the people to this mat ter, and male the laggard Boards, -under the lash aud spur of public opin ion," do their duty in this case. We are authorized to state that for a reas onable time the funds will be retained to give all delinquent Boards an oppor tunity to report ; but we doubt, if, af ter this, any more warnings will be sriven. or the time extended. NEW ORLEANS CORRESPONDENCE. New Orlbans, May 19, 1S6S. Editor Clarion axd Standard : Mayor Monroe has been to Mecca, got his pardon, (happy man) returned and retaken his seat. As the egrrs had not time to get warm and become addled before he was compelled to leave his nest, he will now no doubt hatch something that wiH do credit to the citj-. It is whispered that he con templates reforms that have long been needed. J. O. Nixori, Esq., ed itor of the Crescent, (which by the by is a sterling paper) who went on the same mission, also received his par don, and is once again at his post as fine looking as ever. The news of the death of Ex-Governor Allen has cast a gloom over the city during several days just past. He had a strong hold on the affections of this people. It was so deep seated it appeared not on the surface. Many a tear has been shed in secret over his untimely departure, for many were anxiously awaiting the hour when he could again return to his adopted State. Th clerk of the weather made at ------------------'-- , T sad mistake in his , reckoning this mrinr For some reason nnaccoun table to himself, as well as others, his April showers were entirely over looked until about the 10th of May. True it was he set about correcting his mistake, and to make up for lost time he has from that time to date given us " April showers' almost daily. The umbrella vendors had in stituted a suit- against him, but the late 6howers moistened their eyes and they relented. The suit has been withdrawn because it does not suit the times. As the business season draws to a close the town appears to wear a more serious and settled aspect Old fa miliar faces again predominate in the thoroughfares. Strangers there were 'tis true, but their number has mate rially lessened during the past month. The' hotels arc yet full, but not crow ded like they were during the winter season. During the last eight months more strangers have visited New Or leans than ever before in the same space of time. Nothing of interest has occurred here during the past two weeks to vary the monotony, if we except one or two fires, at one of which from four to six lives were lost; the election on the 7th, the Volksfest, Fenian cel ebration and a prize fight. A difference of opinion seems to -existdieu: among the physicians con cernin? the use of 'Slimulents .during the prevalence of cholera; one class maintaining that they should be used in moderation; another that thev should not be used at all. The opinions of the spiritualists te;m to be in the ascendency. Unadulter ated brandv is the kiud recommended, and as Hubbel's cabinet brandy is known to be the purest in market, there is at present quite a rush for it. The arent, James Gonegal, wholesale drusgist No. 20 St. Charles street, has his hands full filling orders for this favorite beverage. This enterprising druggist is also now offering the public "Gonegal's Cholera Specific," a remedy prepared according to a prescription which has been used with the greatest success in Asia and Europe since the cholera had prevailed in those countries. It is endorsed universally by the most eminent physicians on the lat ter Continent. Should the cholera make its appearance this specific will come into universal use. A street railroad mania is prevail ing here to an unheard of extent. At the last sale of street railroad stock, shares brought 201, and even this is considered a safe investment. Such is the demand for this kind of stock. A street railroad is just put in opera tion from Canal street along Nw Levee to the Ponchatrain Railroad Depot. Another is being laid in Carondelet street, and shortly others will extend from Canal up St. Charles street and up New Levee to the Stock Landing. The truth is the people have got in the way ol riding and will no longer walk if they can help it. Even the sons and daughters of Ham no longer walk, but crowd the '-star cars" from daylight till midnight. Surely we are getting to be a fast people. The subject of building a ' Royal Theatre" on Canal street, which will eclipse all others in the South, .is now being agitated. In fact, plans for the same arc even now being prepared, and if no serious epidemic puts a stop to a movement on loot, such a Theatre will lie completed in time for the next gav season. A committee will soon leave New Orleans for the Citv of Mexico. It will go for the remains of ex-Gover nor Allen. The places of amusement vet open are well patronized, although the heat for several days past has been somewhat oppressive. Ihe nights. however, it has been remarked, are unusually cool. Subscription lists are open in the city for the relief ol the "terrible dis tress in the overflowed region." The convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Diocese of Louis ian, is sitting at St. Paul's Cli" air the flist time in five vears. There is a full attendance. Ex-Senator Gwin, who has been confined in Fort Jackson since Septem ber last, has been set at libertv and is now in this citv. Gen. Ilavs has been induced to take the oflice of Sheriff of this Parish. The trial of the parties charged with the murder of J. F. G ruber, is now pending. The police officers in this city are to be dressed in uniform forthwith, so says the Mayor. The Police Commissioners have sus pended the Chief of Polic e, Col. Thos. J. Adams. The charge against him is the issuance of an order to his subor dinates, instructing them not to arrest persons known to be good citizens and gentlemen, on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. The grounds up on which Col. Adams acted were tkat the city is filled with dangerous char acters ; that the police force is under going a re-organization, and that un der these circumstances citizens of well known respectability, should be permitted to arm themselves for self defence. The Grand Jury took up the matter and found a true bill, where upon he was suspended, as above sta ted. The trial will come off on Mon day the 21st inst. Col. Adams, no doubt, considered he was acting for the best interests of our citizens, and it remains to be seen whether or not his course will be sus tained. Cresckxt City. rrcpoail-BC f Ibc ( larioa aael Mian, dard. New Orleans, May 23, ISOC. So, Colonel, you are about to have a reunion of the Press of Mississppi, at Jackson. Will those who have "been retired," whether by good or ill fortune, not be welcome also "? The "experience" of each, if related in Class meeting, will be useful to all. I should like much, for one, to see a meeting between Col. George R. Fall and Col. E. M. Yerger, in the Missis sippian office, and look back at the old files of that paper and see how it sup ported the Yergers ! Times do change, Colonel, and names change with them, if men do not alwavs change. How about that bridge. Colonel? "Knowing no east, n west, as well as no north or south," in this country, we shall be know-nothings if we do not make intercourse easy and cheap, between East and West Mississppi. You must have a free bridge. Colonel, if you wish to make Jackson a great trading point. We have always pro fessed to be Free Traders in the South, (I did at all events,) but we will never succeed unless we take off internal charges as well as imposts, and dear and ioor conveyances and warehouses are among the. worst of them. Perhaps I would do well to mind my own business, here, and let yours alone ; but I cannot help dipping into Mississippi affairs occasionally, from force of old habit, and I trust those who are now endowed with the doubtful pri vilege of suffrage iu thot State will par don my presumption. My former friend, Michael Hahn, once the honorable Michael, in a Yankee sense, is trying to get the remains of the Banks. Hahn Con stitutional Convention of 18C1, to in augurate "another revolution, and give free suffrage and suffering to the negroes. I see Michael's adroit man agement in all that is going on, but it will not win. The Dlan is this. When this Con vention had formed it? constitution, with its clauses empowering the legis lature to grant suffrage to the negroes, and putting "all men" in the militia, it ordered it to be submiited to the peo ple for acceptance or rejection. Whether, because they.lesired in case it was rejected to amend it so as to make it more acceptable to the peo ple, or for other reasons, before ad journing thev gave their President, Judge Durelf. of the U. S. District Court, the power to call them together again, not limiting me ume. The vote by which this constitution was adopted, nominally about 5000 out of 30,000, was, in reality, after taking off false, fraudulent and illegal votes? not much over 2000. One of the numerous flaws constantly cited against it as a professedly binding con stitution, is this, and that it was not put to vote in. over half the precincts of the State. Now it is proposed to reassemble this convention, adopt a universal suffrage clause and oner it to the people, white and black, for accep- tance, ana as mewniieswuiDeioatu to vote with negroes, even for the pur pose of rejecting it, or might use vi olence to prevent a vote, or negroes from voting, to make this a pretext for as violent interposition by the mili tary authorities. It is understood that this scheme has failed for want of cooperation on the part of J udge Durell. This per son is anxious to ingratiate himself Trow with the responsible and wealthy part of the population of the State ; and besides this, he knows full well that all the fruits of this scheme, if any. would be gathered by Michael Ilahu, Thomas J. Durant and a few others, and that Wells, the present Governor, favors it only in the hope of being able thereby to retain his present place, which, by his thousand acts of perfidy, crowned by his al leged complicity in the murder of G ruber, he has justly forfeited. The week past has been signalized by three notable suicides by females. One of them was that of a beautiful voung actress of blameless life and character, but married to an actor named Morland, who has grossly mal treated her in various ways, mid es pecially by bestowing his cares and attentions, even more than that, upon another woman. The unfortunate victim bore up against her wrongs as bravely as she could for a time, but possibly the necessity which poverty compelled, of night after night sus taining the role of the gay and happy favorites of society, when her own heart was so desolate, finally drove her mad, and she took her own dreary life. You ma3- imagine the disgust of this community at her husband, when I tell you that the night afteiward. while her body was lying in her house ready for interment, that husband was plavingat the Academy of Music! He throws the blame of this on the management, but thev have dismissed him nevertheless in deference to the universal sentiment of the city. One of the other cases was that of a beautiful woman of the town who had had a happy home in Iowa. She had received a letter thence a few days before which she said contained "bad news." Perhaps the story of her ill life had gone there and brought sorrow around a virtuous hearth, or. it may be, she had aspirations lor a return to virtue and a home of her own, which discovery had made im possible, l'e it what it might, she poured a vial of laudanum down her throat and covered up this with heavy potations of brandy as is the wont of these sad moral wrecks, and she died. Gold you see is growiiigup with a panic, and may reach 130, as Fernando Wood has bet it will, and cotton and everything else sold for greenbacks will sympathize with it ; but it is not well to calculate on any permanently high rate lor it.

KOREIOX COMMERCIAL NEWS. Heavy Specie Shipments from N. York Washington, May 27. In the House sesterday, the tax bill being under con iyderation, Mr. Stevens offered an amendment taking from the Secretary of the Treasury the appointment of Special Commissioner of the Revenue, and providing that the latter officer shall be elected by Congress. Mr. Stevens remarked that he ottered the amendment because the Secretary said he would appoint to office only those who supported the President. It was time, Mr. Stevens said, to build a wall to protect those who support us ; the Secretary was the recreant tool of a re creant President Mr. Hale, republican, reproved Mr. Stevens, and showed that Congress has no such power of appointing. Mr. Delano defended the Secretary who was not a slave and thus pre vented from speaking his sentiments ; dare he not have an opinion of his own ? Must we square our ojyiion.s by a regular line at the dictation of in dividuals ? Just such acts as those of Mr. Stevens, were creating a very bad sentiment throughout the country. Mr. Steveus thus discomfited, with drew the amendment, promising to re new it Monday. New York, May 27th. The city is remarkably healthy and fears of chol era seem to be abandoned. Gen.
