Louisiana.
A Provisional Governor Wanted.—A
delegation of the Democratic Party of Lousl
ana. appointed by the State Central Committee,
have been at Washington and had an interview
with President Johnson, to request him to ap
point a Provisional Governor for the State, to
enable the people to remodel their government
in conformity with past events. They declare
that the people are nearly unanimous in ap
proving President Johnson's wise and patriotic
policy of rehabilitation, and of disavowing the
ordinance of secession, as well as the illegal do
ings of the other usurping Convention of 1864,
which attempted to foist upon them a constitu
tion, in which Convention more than three
fuarths of the parishes of the State could take no
part, and the subsequent illegal legislation
thereunder: all of which occurred under the
arbitrary dictation of Major General Banks then
commanding the Department of the Gulf.
That without relief from the President their
present anolamous condition threatens to delay
for years the restoration of the State to her prop
er position as one of the coequal States of the
Union.
And that the people of Louisiana throughout
her whole length an 1 breadth are now in a po
sits if relieved from military interference, to
establish a republican form of Government as
guaranteed to them by the constitution of the
United States.
They declare With truth, that
** Elections held under this military regime
were serious farces, resulting in the election of
a set of men who were guilty of a fearful wast
ing of the treasury of an impoverished State.
“Elections held under the ring of bayonets
arc not safe exponents of public sentiment; nor
are those held on gunboats true criterions
the opinions of those who, in order to exercise
the elective franchise, had to board those bel
chers of fire.”
They refer to the fact that under this state of
things Congress refused to have the electoral
vote of the State counted, and also refused at
the last session to receive either the Senators or
Kepresentatives of the State, elected under this
bogus system. . <
The President received the delegation kindly
several times, and expressed a desire to do every
thing in his power consistent with the actual
state of things. In summing up tho commit
tee say:
*• Weighing these facts as indicative of the
sense of Congress in connection with the des
potic manner in which the government in Lou
isiana was created, the tampering with the bal
lot box, as shown by the action of Governor
Wells in ordering a new registration, the test
oaths unknown to the constitution which were
prescribed, the voting of non-residents, of sol
diers and officers of the army and navy disqual
ified by law in the election, and the further fact
that the so-called constitution is the creature of
military power, that it is repugnant to the peo
ple, that they have never sanctioned it, but, on
the’contrary, would get rid of it had they the
opportunity, we cherrish the hope that your
Excellency* will see the propriety of appointing
^ Provisional Governor of Louisiana, as a pre
liminary step to the calling of a State Conven
tion. • ....
“We feel perfectly assured that by this means
before the meeting of Congress, Louisiana will
1 adopt a constitution agreeable to her people,
recognizing the abolishment of slavery, .sane—
• tioning the amendment of the Constitution of
the United States which has been proposed to
the several States, establishing the equality of
all persons before the law, and embodying a
distinct declaration denying and repudiating
the doctrine of secession.”
Where the Monet Went To.—The great
[ Sanitary Fair lately held in Chicago was the
. niost stupendous swindle yet conceived, Less
than three thousand dollars were left for soldiers
after the loyal gents had ,4tolcn their fill, and
parties a^e quarrelling over this. The abolition
papers, the Tribune and Journal, each received
about five thousand dollars for their influence !
And so all the contributions to the poor soldiers
were stolen from them by these loyal managers.
How up the hard pan of hell, cross plow it and
1 rake it with a fine tooth comb, and in all the
depths of cter al d: mnation cannot he found a
' lugger set of knaves, thieves and robbers than
r have of late years been fattening on the public,
while prating of their loyalty.—La Oroete
DemocratL_• •
Rumored Intended Marriage of General
f IIood.—The New Orleans correspondent of the
Mobile Begitter, writes to that paper:
9 It is given as an on dit that the gallant Gen.
John B. Hood, late of the Confederate army, is
to lead to the altar, the charming daughter of
Gen. Preston. The way it was found out here
i- was this: The betrothed lady sent to a friend
in New Orleans to buy her trousseau, of course
with injunctions not to tdl. That was too heavy
- a load for one girl to carry, and she had to just
whisper it into Fannie’s ear. Fannie couldn’l
- bear the burden and she whispered it also, anc
9 finally it got to the ears of a married dame
7 who told her husband, as she ought, and b<
- (stupid) had to blab it on the streets. Ou
young ladies aw delighted, and seem to take*
” much interest in it as if it were to he in Nev
Orleans instead of way out in Texas.

*ext Session of the Baltimore Oon
The following special notice claims the atten
tu® of the members of the Baltimore Confer
ence in Virginia, Maryland and the District of
CM a in bi a, “ who maintain fidelity to principle
nr indicated in the Staunton action of 1861.”
It will be seen that the seat of the next session
dthe Conference hi transferred, by authority,
from Bktckeburg, Virginia, to the city of Alex
andria, and is to meet on the frit Wednesday
in March, 1866.
Cokfcrkiick Kotic*.—In pursuance of au
thority rested in ns by our last Conference to
cknge the place of our next annual meeting
from Blacksburg, Virginia, to some more acces
sible point, we, the undersigned, have accepted
tie invitation of the members and friends of
oer Church in Alexandria, to hold the Confcr
c*ce in that city. The preachers of the Con
ference in Virginia, Maryland and the District
of Columbia, and others—ministers and laymen
—who maintain fidelity to principle as indica
ted in the StaQnton action of 1861, arc hereby
notified to meet in Alexandria on the first Wed
lay of March, '
A. R. Vbitch, P. E. RockingHam Dirt.
J. 8. Martin, P. E. Lexington Dirt.
S. Registeb, P. E. Roanoke Dirt.
J. S. Gabdkneb, P. E. Lewisburg Dist.
W. G. Eggleston, P. E. Winchester Dirt.
8. S. Roseel, P. E. Loudoun District.
8. H. Griffith, P. E. South Branch Dirt.
It will be seen from the foregoing notice that
the appointment! nbrth of the Potomac are not
represented. ’This results, we presume to say,
from the non-intercourse between the different
sections of the Conference during the war. It
is expected, however, as we understand it, that
ail the preachers of the Baltimore Conference
who adhere to the position taken at the Staun
ton meeting in 1861, will attend the Confer
ence, and that the Maryland portion of the ter
ritory will be supplied with pastors from this
body, as well as the Valley of Virginia. It is
understood, we believe, that the provisional
government under which this body has been
acting for the last four years will cease at this
Conference, and that final action will he taken
by the body, fixing its permanent relation! as
to its ecclesiastical position and government.—
It is gratifying to state that the Baptist breth
ren in Alexandria have tendered to the Confer
ence the use of their house of worship for the
holding of the Conference sessions.
[Episcopal Methodist.
A Sacred Duty.
There is in our judgement, (says the Rich
mood Whig,) one solemn and sacred duty,
which, we believe, is encumbent on the Legis
lature ** vt-gUU soon to assemble. It is, to
declare the will of the people that the maimed
and wounded, and helpless among her sons,
whose prospects have been blasted by a devo
tion of their persons to her service in the field,
shall be a sacred charge upon their affectionate
care and bounty. This question ought not to
be embarrassed by any considerations touching
the justice, legality or constitutionality of the
cause in which these brave and chivalrous sol
diers havesuffered. If the late war was wrong,
the State nevertheless put them into that war.
The State called them to arms. For the State,
thousands upon top of thousands now sleep be
neath the sod of a hundred battle-fields. Their
hones are mingled with the dust of Georgia,
the Carolinas, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi,
and of every State where they were called upon
to uphold and defend the standard which Vir
ginia placed in their hands. Shall the survi
vors, with shattered health and armless sleeves,
who offered their lives at the call of Virginia,
he suffered to pine in want and neglect? The
United States takes care of her maimed heroes
—but the United States cannot, perhaps, pro
vide for technical “rebel*” against her author
ity. This duty, then, devolve*, upon the Old
Dominion, and there i* not a brave and true
man from the Penobscott to the Rio Grande,
whatever hi* view* about the “rebellion,” who
will not applaud the act of noble justice by
which Virginia shall provide for her maimed
and scarred sons.
Daniel Webster a* a Fi»herma5.—A Lit
tle Falls (Potomac) correspondent of the Jour
nal of Commerce, who seem* to have been the
furnisher of boats and tackle for fishermen on
the Potomac, writes:
Foremost among these (fishermen) was Dan
iel Webster. When Secretary of State, he nsed
to come here, always early in tbe morning, and
accompanied by hi* private Secretary. He
liked the fresh morning air as much as any roan
1 ever saw, and when he talked to me freely
about fish and fishing, I could believe that he
had been in the business all his life. He was
always liberal, and where other men would give
me one dollar for a morning’s sport, he would
give me ten. And for an old man.ashethen
was, he was a good fisherman. I remember
well the day when he caught his biggest rock
fish. I had taken him in one of my boats to
the “catting rock,” and as we swung across the
rearing water*, the great man clapped his hands
like a child. Tbe fish weighed sixteen pounds,
and gave him much trouble; and when I faffed
tbe prize, and we knew it was safe, he dropped
his rod in the bottom of the boat, jumped tc
; his feet, and gave a yell-a mm* ^(han I®.
; which might have been heard in Georgetown.
He came often, wa* always pleasant in his way.,
generally on the ground a. early as » o’clock ;
and once he gave roe as a reason for wiodinj
up the sport at 9 o’clock that he was obligee
l to be at the Department before noon. But bii
frying dtp are long since ended.

Husbands.
Some husbands never leave home In the morn
ing without kissing their wi vesand bidding them
“good bye, dear," in tone* of unwearied love;
and whether it be policy or fact it haa all the ef
eet of feet, and those homes are generally pleas
ant ones, provided always that the wives are ap
preciative and welcome the discipline in a kind
ly spirit. Wc knew an old gentleman whobved
with his wife for over fifty years and never
left his home without the kis^and the “good
bye, dear." Some husbands shake hands with
Kiirr/ off is fast as possible, as
though the effort were a something that they
were anxious to forget, holdingtheir heads down
and darting round the first corner. Some hus
bands say, “Well, wife, I sm going," and start
at the word “go," which comes to them from
some back retreat. Some husbands before leav
ing home ask very tenderly, “What would
you like for dinner, my dear f knowing all the
while that she will select something for his par
ticular palate, and off he goes. Some husband*
leave home without saying anything at all, but
think a good deal, as evinced by their turning
round at the last point of observation, and wa
ving an adieu to the pleasant face, or faces, at
the window. Some husbands never say a word;
rising from the breakfast table with the lofty
indifference of a lord, and going out with a
heartless disregard of those left behind. It is a
fortunate thing for their wives that they can find
sympathy elsewhere. Some husbands nev. r
leave home without some unkind word or look,
apparently thinking that such a eoum will
keep things straight in their absence. Then on
returning—some husbands oome borne jolly and
happy, unsoured by the world; some sulky and
surly with its disappointments. Some husband*
bring home a newspaper or a book and bury
themselves for the evening in its content*.—
Some husbands arc called away every evening

Some husbands are curions to learn of theii

“Depend upon it," says Dr. Spooner, "that boltn

Truthfulness of a Hero.

out one rooming he met a little girl crying bit
trrly. and up*m asking her what was tire mat

afraid she would be whipped when she returned
home. Seeing that he sympathized with lier,
die heW up the fragment* aud artlessly aaid,
“ IVrb»i»s you ran meud It, sir.” * No, I cau

a sixpence to buy auother with.” Ou looking
In hi* purse, he found he had nochange, and said,
«| can-iot gireit L»y >u now, but if you will be

give you the money.” She went home comfort

on condition tliat the gehtleman kept hi* word.
Before the time came, Lord Nelson received a let
ter asking him to go to a distant place to meet a
person whom lie- greatly deured to sec. lie hesi
tated, and thought that such a trifle as giving a
Httle girt a sixpence ought not to keep him away,
but then he had given his word and the Httle girl
had implicitly relied upon it. No, lie would not
disappoint her, so lie sat down and wrote to his
friend that44 owing to a previous engagement,"
he should be unable to see him at that time.—
Such an incident adds lustre to the world-wida
fame of one of England's most celebrated he

The Pure Heart.
A little girl having one day r<*ad to her teach
er the first twelve Verse* of the fifth chapter of
the Go*pel of Mathew*, he asked her to *top
and tell him which of these holy tempers, said
by oar lord to b* blessed, she would most like
to have, *li« pawed a little, and then a il with
a modest smile, **I would rather be pure in
heart.” Her teacher asked her why she chose
this above all the rest. “Sir,” said she, “if I
could but obtaiu a pure heart, I should then
hare all the other graces spoken of in this
chapter." And surely this was a wise and
right inswer. God himself has said; “Out
of it (the heart) are issues of life.” It is in tlw>
heart that God sheds abroad the graces of his
Spirit ; and from thence comes that “grace of
within.
.- Wintering Cabbage.
I have practiced for four years the following
mode of wintering cabbage, and it has proved
so well, I give it for the benefit of others. My
cabbage is loft out till there is danger from (Tost.
The heads are then cut off, with a few coarso
leaves, and if winter does not seem to be upon
us, thrown intoheaps, and covered with litter of
some kind, tiH winter seems to be coming in
earnest. Then the cabbages arc put up in
heaps by placing them on the ground—three
from tbfi bottom course, two from the second
course and one from the top. Make your heap
as long as you wish, pack them do6C by put
ting the largest at the bottom, and keep the
the stem end up. Cover ten or twenty inches
or .more with earth, without any straw. Tlio
earth must be in proportion to the frost. A
little frost will not hurt them if the cabbages
arc uot taken out till the frost has left them.

passenger being awakened at the same time,
thought that he would exchange a word at
leaving, and addressed her > “Madam, as wo
shall never again, probably, sleep together, I
bid you a very respectful farewell.” A scream,
and silence reigned again.
