SP Our thanks are due the polite
"head clerk" of the fine steamer Pey
tona for latest New Orleans papers.
The Pcytona is now running in the
New Orleans and Vicksburg trade,
HS a regular packet, in place of the
Irrey Eagle.
T he F ibst C otton .—tho first full blown
cotton boll we have seen this seaeon was
brought, to us on Tuesday, by an old
colored friend, B en M osoas , who is culti
vating a portion of what is known as the
"Denhara Tract," a few miles east <>t town.
B en is one of the old-time freedmen, who
has always sustained an excellent charac
ter in our community. By his enter
prising habits he has succeeded under
difficulties in building up a competence
for himself and family, worthy of exam
ple to his brother freedmen.
B en has given us the first boll ; who wiil
now send us the first batef Don't all
»peak at once.
Since making mention of the first cotton
boll presented us, we have received an
other very Sno specimen from Mr. C hart, em
B eckkk's place in this parish. We under
stand there are many others like it on the
dame place. There will be some bully
crops made in this region, if all turns out

this point continues to Call steadily.
At New Orleans, according to the
Times, of Tuesday, it was 8 teat, 2
juches below the high water mark of
1862—a fall of nine inches, since
Friday last "Thirteen feet" in the
Mississippi, from St. Louis to Cairo is
the last ''quotation" from that region
The Ohio at Pittsburg, on the 16th,
bad 6 feet in the channel ; at Cincin
nati, on the l7tb, the river was falling,
with seven feet on Rising Sun bar.
The Tennessee is still falling.
The Mobile Advertiser says the
rivers are low in Alabama and falling.
None but light drafl boats attempt to
make through trips.

boen secured to help carry on the business
of the St. Jamos, while the whole estab

EdF" Bishop Andrews has called a
meeting of the bishops of the Metho

D eath of a V eteran of 1814-'15.
Capt. R obert S pebden , who com
manded a gunboat at New Orleans
during the war of 1814-'15, died in
that city on Sunday last, at the ad
vanced age of 83. He was some
years ago Coroner of the Parish of
Orleans.
In all his official and private rela
lations, he maintained an irreproacha
ble character.

Universal Citizenship.
The nomadic habits of the Ameri
can people render them essentially
cosmopolitan. In these, they have
preserved a distinguishing charac
teristic of the aboriginal races of
the country, differing from them
only in the means and motives
which impel to locomotion—the un
tutored savage, trusting to his nim
ble feet and powers of endurance
to wander over the bills aud valleys
of the unbroken forests, in quest of
game for subsistence—tbe tutored
white man betaking himself to tbe
numerous artificial means of pro
pulsion at his command to roam the
world over for purposes of thrift
and pleasure.
That this natural proneness to
shift about from place to place, has
derived great impulse within the
present century from adventitious
aid, such as steam affords, is a ques
tion long since settled beyond con
troversy. To these caused are prin
cipally to be ascribed tbe wonderful
facility with which Americans
adapt themselves to circumstances
of locality, climate and custom.—
Of course, there are exceptions,
where certain peeulianties of tem
perament exist to d<?fy these ex
traneous agencies, and to ioßx in
persons au individuality of nature
so strong as never to be entirety
obliterated.
A life long observation bas famil
iarised us with a great many facts
bearing upon tbe subject of our pres
ent writing. We have frequently
known persons to come here from the
North, East and West, who would
readily assimilate with Southern
ers in ideas and habits, so as in a
abort time to acquire a vrai sem
blance of character hardly distin
guishable from the original they so
naturally imitated Others would
require a much greater length of
time to fall in with those peculiar
traits by which tbev could ever be
mistaken for Southerners—"native
and to the manner born while
others again, despite the influences
of time, climate and association
never could become divested of that
marked identity wbicb never failed
to betray their birth and early pre
judices and training. The class of
individuals first referred to in the
order in which we have enumerated
them, are such as possess tbe essen
tial qualities of tbe genuine cosmo
politan. Go wherever they may,
they are uot long in fitting them
selves for the relations of citizen
ship. Whether in England or
France, Egypt or India, they pos
sess the happy art of universal citi
zenship. "Doing in Rome as Rome
does," comes natural to them, and
they are therefore pretty apt to get
along well with the natives ; aud
whenever they choose to "localize"
among them to do so with benefit to
themselves and the community.—
Individuals of this class have come
among us time and again, have
made* the South their home—are
living among U8 still—have raised
families of children which are a
credit aud oruament to the State—
have filled offices of trust and honor
worthily and well, and have helped \
to promote tbe public weai in divers
ways. They came here and were
welcomed. Were they to leave for
other lands or for "that bourne
whence uo traveller returns," their
departure would be regretted as a
public loss. With tbe tide of immi
gration which is likely to flow
southward in the fall, we hope there
may be a large preponderance of
that class. We would cordially in
vite them here. Tbey would prove
valuable acquisitions to tbe coun
try Some with their ready means,
others with their skill in tbe arts
and sciences, and others with their
industry and labor—all would find
openings remunerative and hon
orable and be of great service to tbe
coun- try.
To quote the applicable remarks
of tbe New Orleans True Delta:
"For our part, we gladly web
corneal! honest and loyal new com
ers. We wish them to come from
New England, from New York,
from all parts of the North and from
Europe. Let them come with their
capital, theirjskilled and other labor,
their general industry and enter
prise—and the more the better.—
All will be welcomed. There is an
inexhaustible field before them,
where all will be protected in their
rights and all respected as tbey des
erve. The man, or set of men, who
would infringe upon the one or très
pass upon tbe other would be indig
nantly frowned upon by the entire
community. As we have frequently
before stated in these columns, we
do not believe such a field for the
investment of capital and labor in
commerce, agriculture and manu
factures, ever before presented it
self upon tbe surface of earth ; and
we shall be much mistaken if an
immense influx of both does not
soon cause the South to become as
wealthy and proiperous as she is
now impoverished and desolate."
N egro S uffrage S outh and
N orth .—The Philadelphia Press
characterizes it as a " stupendous de
lusion to expect Congress and the
Executive to do that for the unedu
cated freedmen of the South, which
the independent States of the North
have failed or refused to do for the
better trained and more experienced
free colored men in their section."
In the main, we believe this is true.
Still it is evident that negro suffrage
in the Southern States is pressed
upon public favor by many consid
erations which do not affect it at the
North.
A large portion of our people fear
that in the political reorganization of
the South, the power will fall again
into the hands of those who were
foremost in the rebellion ; and they
seek a remedy for this in giving the
suffrage to the enfranchised slaves.
They assume that these slaves would
naturally vote with the anti-slavery
men of the North—that they would
constitute an offset to the vote of
those who were recently rebels, and
that their admission to the ballot-box
would, therefore, afford a safeguard
against the return of the Southern
States into rebel hands. Whether
right or wrong, this is the motive
which leads very many Northern
men to advocate negro suffrage at the
South ; and this reason does not ap
ply at the North.
But even if it were necessary to
offset the vote of Southern whites,
we do not feel assured that it could
be done by conferring tbe suffrage
upon the enfranchised slaves. Every
thing in their past history, every
thing in their character, and every
thing in their future necessities, ren
ders it probable, to say the least,
that their votes would be mainly in
fluenced by those upon whom they
must be dependent, and with whom
relations will be the closest. It is
so in every other community,—why
should it not be so in the Southern
States ? It seems not at all unlikely
that the admission of the negroes
en masse to the ballot-box would
simply add just so much to the very
power we seek to diminish. That
those most closely allied with that
power think so, is sufficiently proved
by the advocacy of negro suffrage in
the Daily News.
The duty of all good citizens,
North and South, who would pro
mote the welfare of the negro race, is
to prepare them by education for the
rights and responsibilities of citizen
ship, and to secure their admission
to those rights in each State, just as
fast as they are qualified to discharge
them wisely and safely, and no faster.
Thousands and tens of thousands
among them are qualified already;
but of the great mass of those who
have but just received their freedom,
this cannot be said.— New York
Times, 8 th inst.

The Bank Note market continued quiet,
Ad is still too unsettled for general quota
tions. Thore is a wide range in prices, but
if an order were to appear for a round
amount, say $20,000, for almost any on the
list, it could hardly be filled unless at out
side rates. On the other hand, with no
demand either from speculators or others,
if any considerable sum were pressed on
the market, a sale could only be effected
by accepting a pries approximating inside
figures. To-day #2800 Bank of Louisiana
bills sold at 86c. îp dollar, and $K00 Lou
