E. Jones having re moved from her late locality on Laurel street, to the rooms adjacent to and over the Hank building on Third street, is now to be found at the latter place prepared to receive boarders and lodgers, as formerly. The situation she lias chosen is central and convenient, and the building vory spacious and roomy. The apartment» are among the most elegant in the city. Thore is plenty of yard room and the grounds aro einbollfshed with handsome trees and «hrnbbery —rendering the premises highly pleasing and attractive to the guests of the house. * I-iT One of the oldest and most respect able mercantile houses in Now Orleans, is that of our time-honored friends, Messrs. S tkvkns «fc StcYMOtm, of 86 and 98 Com mon street, opposite the City Hotel. Those gentlemen have renowod their former co partnership, and are going on with t.hoir old business, as Paper, Stationery and Fancy Goods Merchants, intending to keep as of yore, a large and varied ossortment of stock articles. Mr. S etmouk , has recently gono North to arrange for an extension of regular bus iness facilities, and on his return the es tablishment will "open rich" with supplies ■which will be kept reploDishod to meet the fullest demands of the trade. We wish them a run of business brim l'uil of prosperity. Sec card and advertisement in this morning's paper. T jib S teamer J oseph P ierce.— Wo clip the following paragraph from our cotomporary of the Pica yune, and bear witness to what i» said of this craft and her gentleman ly officers : This fine boat has been in the Vicks burg trade for the past two year«, and has greatly benefited the pub lic, when no other boat presented itself for their convenience and ac commodation. (/'apt. W". B. Rich ardson, will leave nothing undone to benefit the traveller as well as the shipper of freight, and he hopes in return to contiuuo to receive that patronage which hafl hereto fore been extended to him and his line packet. The Pierce, as our readers are a!read)' aware, is un surpassed iu her fate and cabin ap pointments, while her officers are proverbial for their kind and courte ous attentions to travellers under their care. If you would desire a pleasant trip up the coast, secure a passage on the Pierce by all means. The Joseph Pierce connecta at Vicksburg with regular packets for Memphis and Bend Landings and for Yazoo Ii. ver. Messrs. A. McVay and II. A. Owen, do the honors of the office. Mr. W m .

B eokwith , on Third street. |-jip In the summer of 186;5, while a distinguished foreign officer in our ! service was in command at Columbus, Ivy., some of his friends presented ! him with a horse. The able Hunga rian was highly elated, and replied j to the presentation speech as follows : | "Fell' Solshirs and Shentlemans : ] ; tanks you for this hoss ! De hops. ! shentlemans, is de noblest animal of mankind. Again, I says, I tanks you for this tine hoes !" M ail C ommunication .—Nothing that can be done by human agency would more effectually tend to the quick restoration of the old rela tions between the North and South, and to the rapid revival of the South .from itfl present depressed condition, than the re-establishment of the mail facilities that existed at at thé commencement of the war now closed. We have seen it stated that the Postmaster General has this sub ject under consideration, and that ho gives intimation of there being difficulties in the way of the early re-establishment of post routes and post-offices in this portion of the Union. These difficulties, we pre sume, arise from their being no ap propriation for postal service in the South. If this is all, awkward though it be, it need not be an ob struction to the re establishment of at least all the leadi"g post routes and the re-opening of all the post offices thereori. "Where there's a will there's a way." If the Post master General will but advertise for the postal service to be perform ed we have not, a shadow of a doubt that responsible men will at once corne forward fully prepared to per form it and willing to wait, for their pay until it is provided for by Con gress, if that be necessary. As to the re-opening of post-offices, let the Postmaster General but order it to be done quickly, and the services of postmasters can be secured with a rapidity unexampled even in this country of innumerable government officers and innumerable expectant placemen. This is a matter of the greatest importance to us of the South. It is also of great moment to the whole country and to the Government it self. It is needless to enlarge on that which in clearly apparent to nil men. Every interest—agricultural, commercial, social and political— calls loudly for the quick renewal of Southern mail communication.— Give us that and we shall have a realizing sense of a restored Union. At present, we are in a state of iso lation.— True Delta L atest F rom M atamohas— Cor tina gives up. —It has been reported to ua that Cortina, in a recent inter, view with the Federal Geu. Brown, expressed his intention to give up his oppositiou to the Mexican Empire, and retire to hie rancho, and there remain in peace and quiet. We pre sume it,'makes very little difference to the Empira wheiher or uut the^v tra his intentions ; for the most he I ub been able to do, so far, has been to harrsss, and annoy, without power to endanger Imperial authority. Judg ing from appearances, it is about time for Cortina to make up his mind, to pursue some less obtrusive employ ment than he has lately been engaged io.— Mat amor as Ran che m , June .'ID.

No one was injured. Tho loss is aaid to be one million insnranoo. The flro origin ated over a boiler in the M iihoum base ment. Particulars Coorerning the Execution of the Conspirators. Wo glean from Washington dispatches the following particulars relative to the execution of Mrs. Rurratt, J'uyne, Harrold and Atzerot: W abiiinoton , .Inly 7.— -At an early hour to-day guard« were placed all round the arsenal grounds to prevent intrusion—no one being admitted except those personally supplied with tickets by CJen. Hancock. The relatives of Mrs. Snrratt and Harold spent several'hours with thera during the forenoon, and they wero also attended by their spiritual advisors, as wore also Payne and Atzerot. At a few minutes after 1 o'clock tho outer prison doors wero opened, and Mrs.Hurratt was supported on lier way to tho gallows by two military officers. Next came Atze rot, Harold and Payne, accompanied by a guard and t.h.ir rospeotive ministers of the gospel. Front seats wore provided for them on tho platform in tho following order : Mr*. Surratt, Harold aud Atzerot. The officers entrusted with tho oxecution and the ministets occupied immediate positions. Major-Genoral Hartsnff, who has been from tho commencement in charge of the prisoners, came forward and road the order ofthe War Department, already published, approving the sentence, and ordering the penalty and death to be inflicted. A heavy guard wasstutioned on the walls surrounding tho grounds, wliilo the other soldiers were formed on two sides of a squaro. Several hundred civilians were present, anxious spectators of the solemn sccne. Ono of the priest* attendant on Mrs. Hurratt repeated a short prayer, to which Payne, who was seated next to her, at tentively listoned. The minister who had been administering to Payne, expressed, iu tho name of tho latter, his sincere thanks to Gen. HartsufT and the officers and sol diers who hud charge of him, for thsir personal kindness. They had not uttered an unkind worn, given an unpleasant look or gusturo, but seemed to commiaserato his misfortune. The minister then uttered a a brief prayer, asking for Payne the for gi venous of all his sins aud a passage out of this ororld into the joys of Heaven. The minister who attended Harold also returned thanks for tho kind treatment of the prisoners, and offered a prayor that (Jod would receive his soul. The prisoner was affected to tears. Tho minister who attendod Atzerot also returned thanks to Gen. Hartsuff and other officers, lor kind attentions, and then in voked tho rnorcy of God upon the prisoner. The condomned wore thon required to rise from their seats, whon the chairs wero removed. They wero now all on the drop. Their hands wore fastened behind thorn and their limb» bandagod both below and above tho knoes, tho wintocap placod over their oyes. Alzerott, while being prepared for the execution, exclaimed : "Gentlemen, faro well; take care, and goo(J-by, gentlemen, now before me." One of the clcrgyrnan standing near exclaimcd : "May wo meet in tho other world." As soon fis the noose was placed around each nock, Mrs. Surratt's bomg the last ono adjusted, the section of tho platform on which they had been standing sud denly fell, and the culprits were hanging several feot from the ground. Mrs. Surratt and Payne scarcely moved a muscle; Atzerott exhibited some twitch ing, but Harold showed more nervous sensibility than any of the others. Tho bodies hung until lifo was extinct, and wore afterwards given over for burial, the rough coffins being already at hand for that purpose. The arrangements for tho execution wore perfect. Major General Hancock was present throughout the proceedings. It is said that Payno last night made a statement in behalf ol Mrs. Surratt, ex onerating her from complicity, and that another person subscribed to an affidavit impeaching the testimony of an important witness against her. The remaining conspirators were sen tenced to imprisonment and hard labor iu the Albany (N. Y.) penitentiary—Michael O'Laughlin, Samuel Arnold and Samuel A. Mudd for life, and Edward Spanglor for six yoars. The Mobile (Ala.) Tribune confesses the sins of the South thus : "We have sinned against the progress of the age. No man can deny this; and yet we have done it with a con scientiousness which ought to provoke the compassion of those on whose mercy we mnst rely. We are as good a» they. We have acted as honorably as they. We have suffered infinitely more than they of the North. A few years famine and pestilence, with oc casional earthquakes, would not have so hurt us as has this four years' war." fkiF" Some years ago M. Queteletof Brussels, in the course of researches for the material of a scientific work on man, weighed everybody he could get hold of. The result of M. Quetelet'a investigation showed that a full-grown man or woman should weigh about twenty times as much as they did on the day of their birth—in other worde, when you were born, you have btjfr to multiply this sum by twenty, and you have what should be your weight when fall grown. I noreasb op the G ulf T rade.— With the olose of the war, trade and couimeroo of all kinda with the Gulf ports show an unwonted activity. A largo number of vessels are constantly up here for the Eastern and Western United States coasts, Matamoras or Bagdad, Honduras, and Havana. From Western cities the tradh appears equally active, so much so as to justi fy the putting one of a new line steam ships to Vera Cruz via Havana. Much of this business is due to the re cstaolishmcnt of order in Mexico and the valuable trade and shipping priv eligos granted to all comers, but the conclusion of the war is doubtless the principal cause of its revival. The trade of the gulf, especially that of the Island of Cuba, suffered terribly during the blockade, as did all her agricultu ral interests. The great Amerioan market for sugar and tobacco being cut off, or eoriously affected by high impost duties, the planters of the Is land wero compelled to hold at a sac rifice or succumb to prices for which tho great Cuban staples cannot be raised. Tobacco ( the very best Veulta Abajo, was particularly heavy in the market, and vast quantités were stored away for better days. These days ap fiear now to be coming and we may ook for large increase of trade with all the Uulf ports the approaching fall season.—TV. O. Picayune. C iiüboukö in N ew O rlbanb.— There aro about seventy churches in New Orleans in all, of which more than half are Catholic. This is in the proportion of ono church to 2f>00 per sons. In Home there uro 3G0 churches, which is about one to every 500 per sons. The most remarkable and beau tiful is the one on Jackson square, which, however, is not near 100 years old. It does not appear to have any particular style of architecture, and has not the form, but only an imitation of the form, of the Latin cross, which is the style of all tho Latin churches of Europe. The oldest church building, and undoubtedly the oldest house in New Orleans, is the old llrsuline Con vent, near Ursuline street and Royal. This building is about 142 years old. It is at present, we believe, the resi dence of Archbishop Odin. The con vent, many years ago, was removed further down the river. We shall give some account of these and similar bouses hereafter.— N. O. Picayune. What do you think by the way, of Buch a wonder as feeding a person by eating tood yourself'/ Yet the Rev. I). A. F. Barrett, of King's College, Cambridge, would have us believe it possible. He tells us of his being called to see a woman who for twelve years, had to reuain in a hori zontal position. He used to mesmer ize her, and states on one occasion, when she was Rufferiug severely in the throat, he ate some black, current paste, which, alio said moistened it. "Before you ate," she said, "my stomach was coutracted, now the stomach is its full size and docs not look shrunk.'' (She was clairvoyant, and could see her own internal con dition.) Doctor—"But you could not get nourishment so Patient— "Yes, I could got all my system wants. In the evening, says Mr. Barrett, I kept her asleep ono hour, and took tea for her. I ate dinner and she felt much stronger for it. I kept ber asleep two hours and a quarter in the morning and one hour in the evening, eating for her as usual. What a blessing and saving it will be if people can eat for ono another ! No more destitue pauperism ; no more starva tion.— London. Letter. -♦ ♦ • T he N ew C onstitution * A doptko in M issouri .—Upon a formal casting up of tho returns at Jefferson City, Mo., by the Secretary of State, on the 1st inst., 43,670 votes appeared for, and 41,808 against, the new Constitution, and Gov. Fletcher, thereupon proclaimed its adoption. This Constitution disfranchises all the late secession population of tho State, aud admits to vote only those who by oath or otherwise may prove their uninterrupted loyalty. In this respect it is highly satisfactory to the Radicals, but not so in the matter of negro suffrage which it ex cludes. Many of its features are generally regarded as absurd and impracticable, arid suit nobody. §3P* A very serious trapèze acci dent recently occurred in the circus ol M. Carre at Antwerp. One of the clowns springing through the air in the nsnal way, caught at the trans verse bar, which unfortunately broke in two with the shock. The poor gymnast fell heavily, breaking an arm and one of his ribs. To calm the excitement of the audience the injured man, who had not uttered a cry, returned after a few moments and showed himself to the house, but the effort was too great, and on his retiring he fainted. When carried to tho hospital he had to undergo amputation of the arm. NEW GOODS! NEW GOODS ! ! JUST hkoeivki) AT KOWALSKI '8 STORE. a handsome urt or PRINTED LINEN LAWNS.
