A B right and R ising I ntellect.
If, affords us unfeigned pleasure to j
notice the prominent stand which our j
young Baton Rouge friend, A lex.
D alsheimer , has taken in New Or
leans, as an orator and member of
the legal profession. Few young
men of his age, have attained by one
bold leap as it were, a positiou so
enviable. Our city may well be
proud of him, seeing that he pos
sesses talents of so high an order and
knows so well how to apply them.
On a late occasion of laying the
corner-stone for a new synagogue in
New Orleans, styled the "Gates of,
1 rayer," Mr. D alsheimer was près
ent by appointment to lend éclat to
the ceremonies by Iiis eloquence.
The papers of that city make special
mention of his happy effort—the
Times speaking of it as follows :
Then came the great feature of
the occasion, the orator, Mr. A lex,
D al SHEIMEK . He drew a distiuc-■
tion between the state of the country
I . j î j a !
past ana present, and «bowed the !
predilections of the Israelites to in
augurate at all times the best aud
highest sentiments of morality, love
and religiorç. Their motives for pre
serving intact their mysterious unity
and brotherhood was the conscious
ness of an inevitable destiny, marked
out for them by a thousand prece
dents, and by the unbroken chain of
events, as set forth in their won
derful history. The mission of the
Israelites upon earth is to prove
to mankind the ultimate reward
of unwavering faith in the Al=
mighty. He pointed out the differ
ent periods in which Israelites had
ranked their representatives among
the mightiest and honored of earth,
and said that "Israel's past." was the
proudest legacy that Israelites could
claim. We could wish that space
would permit us to give the oration
in length, or even detail, as it was
one of the greatest we ever heard
on such, or even auy occasion. Mr.
D alsheimer is an orator of no small
abilities, and his oration was appre
ciated by frequent outbursts of well
merited applause. Bouquet after bou
quet was showered upon him, and
we almost envied the rising popu
larity which we are sure yesterday's
labors will acquire for him. On the
whole, our Jewish fellow citizens
may congratulate themselves upon
the great occasion of the laying the
corner-stone of the "Gates of Prayer."
T he J ackson R ailroad .—The
promised speedy re-opening of this
great road throughout its whole ex
tent has given much satisfaction to
our community. The mission ot the
President, Col. Shackelford, to this
city has been liberally responded to,
and the forces necessary to rebuild
the bridges and make other neces
sary repaire have gone forward.
Our money men, however, must not
rest content with well doing; in these
times we must all put our shoulders
to the wheel and do all we can. Fur
ther contributions, even to the extent
of our means, must be made to put
our great works of internal improve
ments in order again, and these we
must make cheerfully. They are for
the benefit of our city and other
neighboring commercial communities
and we must not grow weaiy or do
anything gradgiugly. Already we
are in receipt of considerable cotton
by the Great Northern R<rad, and we
expect more daily. And then will it
not, be » happy return to the good
days of old to have a through con- .
nectiou with all the "North and West?
;V. O. picayune.
G es. G rant -—The reserve and «toi
cism which, to the eitstil, observer,
seem to characterize Geu. Geant, dis
appear when one listens to hib con
versation. He is frank, direct and
- — „ ;
positive in his statements, and superi
or to all diaingeniousness. A plea*

features when he speaks, aod he ,ui

I extend to you my heartfelt conjfratn
lations on your being restored to the pro
tection of the flag of oar country, the sym
bol of law, order and freedom, and which
now wavtib in njajoatic power over an un
divided nation. Onr once wealthy and
fertile State, now bankrupt aud desolate
from the ravages of intestine war resumes
her natural relation« (wbich have been
temporarily disrupted ) within the glorious
Union of the States, united by the bonds of
universal freedom and ties that can never
be dissevered. It is not my purpose to
ralce up the ashes of the past, by inquiring
who has erred and who has not erred in
the fearful struggle thc nation has just
passed throngh. Whatever may have been
the causes of the outbreak, and however
bitter may have been the feelings engen
dered in the hearts of some, it is better
that all such matters be buried out of sight
forever. It is not the past, but tho pres
ent and future we have to deal with.
Great and responsible duties rest upon ev
ery citizen at this crisis, to manfully go to
work and assist in the re-establisbinent of
civil government. In thatoonnection itia
a most cheering sign to soe the spirit of
submission to the laws, and willingness to
acquiesce in the result, manifested by those
so recently engaged in hostility to the
Government. Even the soldiers return to
their homes wiser and better men, frankly
owning to the failure of their experiment,
and all expressing a desire to atone for the
errors of the past by cheerful obodience to
the Government, and glad again to enjoy
its benificent rule. You, my friendB and
fellow-citizens, for 1 esteem it a privilege
to call you so,must follow in the footsteps
of so good an example. You must go to
work to organize civil government in your
respective Parishes. Sheriffs, Kecorders,
Clerks of Courts and Police Jurors will
hsve tobe appointed provisionally, nntil
•lections can be held to fill these offices,
as provided by law. You must confer
among yourselves, and select men of in
tegrity and capacity to fill these positions.
I will act on your recommendations by
appointing the persons named by you, if
tney are men of proper character, and
have taken the oath prescribed in the lire
aident'« Proclamation of the Sth of De
cember, 1863, or that of the 29th of May,
1864.
This will be pre-requisite in all cases,
the original or certified copy of which oath
must be transmitted with tho application
for appointment. It is also my intention
to organize the Judiciary throughout the
State by appointing provisionally Judges
of the District Courts and District Attor
neys as soon &a practicable. The former
class of officers are made appointive by the
Executive, under the new constitution, for
a term of six years, and I invite recom
mendations from you bb to who shall fill
those offices, as alao District Attorneys.
I cannot urge upon you too strongly the
importance of your acting promptly and
with unanimity in the matters heroin
brought to your notice. If you neglect to
avail yourselves of the opportunity offered
you I shall be compelled to make appoint
ments to office for your section, from the
best information in my possession, and
yon cannot blame me if they are not ac
ceptable to you. Important elections will
bo held this fall. Members of Congress
and a Legislature will have to be elected,
and if each Parish is provided with proper
officers to open the polls, an election for
Governor and other State officers, accord
ing to the new constitution, will take place
at. the same time.
While the population of that portion of
tho State which has been so fortunate as to
enjoy the protection of the strong arm of
tho "General Government, sooner than
other sections,(and for which they are not
entitled to any merit of their own ) in or
der to hasten the restoration of civil gov
ernment in the State, have adopted a new
constitution and elected a Legislature
which has passed laws, yet I feel author
ized to say that it was with no intention
of forestalling or denying your rights to
participate in the making ol the fundamen
tal, as well as all other laws.
In conclusion, 1 assure you that no one
is more anxious to have the whole State
represented in all general elections, and
particularly for the office of Governor,
than myself. J. M aihson W ells,

Generai Ordern Nu. 24.
Great and sodden changes in the condition of
anv class of people are aiway» productive of
suffering, and the transition of the blacks from a
etat« of slavery to freedom caanot fail to cause
temporary suffering to all clasies. Already this
is being manifested by the negroes leaving their
home» and setting out en manse, for the military
post», aad with no detinite purpose, except to
ieuve the scene of their former bondage.
The result of this »täte of things, if allowed,
would be—
1st. The los» of the crop» and th* entire ruin of
the agricultural interests in thi* part of the
Stat«.
2d. Untold suffering, starvation and missry
among the blacks themselves.
Without attempting, therefore, to regulate all
the varions interests arising out of this question,
and which pertain properly to the Fteedman's
Bureau, the Major General Commanding deems it
his duty to make such rules as in his opinion will
best prevent suffering and restore quiet at the
present time. It in therefore ordered that all
persons heretofore held as slaves remain for the
present with their former masters, and by their
lab'T secure the crop« of the present »eaeon. The
only place where they can obtain a living for
themselves and their families is in the field,
wjiere they have bean accustomed to work If
found wandering about the country, or gathering
ing this class of people except upon a written
pass, which will be given only in exceptional
castr. If neeewary lor them to leave home or
visit any of the militaty posts they will be fur
ni»bed with a pas» by theit employer t# prevent
their arrest a< yagrants. But while it is found
necessary during the present unsettled state of
the country to make these orders re ative to tlje
blacks, the planters are reminded that he mat
ter depends isrrely on thun, and that only by
fair treatment of the haads can they hope to ma
ture and harvest their cro^s aud carry on their
plantations.
infinite contracts must be made with the ne
gro« g, which will be binding for the balance of
the present season.
Planters who endeavor to do tbia in good faith
will be assisted in all proper ways, arid it will do
much toward» rest' rin« quiet and confidence.
