The New Orleans Crescent.
Th e revival of the Crescent, under the
familiar editorial and proprietary au^
pices of Col. J. 0. Nixon is an era in
the newspaper enterprise of the South
worthy of note.
The Crescent appears as the largest
daily now in New Orleans, is beauti
fully printed, and is "full to the brim"
of able editorials, tasteful selections,
and valuable adveitisiûg matter.
May it go on prospering and to
prosper.

to purchase materials with which to
resuscitate the Memphis Avalanche.

Miss Floyd's Concert .—The Con.
cert given by Miss Eliza Floyd , the
blind young lady, at the Asylum for
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind on
Friday night was a highly entertain,
ing affair. She was assisted by three
other young ladies afflicted also with
blindness, (Miss Gaston and Miss
Oakley ,) who have long been inmates
of (he Asylum, and who exhibit re
markable proficiency in their vocal
and instrumental attainments. Du
ring the intervals of the performances
on the piano and guitar, a number of
beautiful specimens of Miss Fioyd's in
genious handicraft in lace, needle and
be«d work were exhibited to the au
dience, as were also the books and
slates used by the blind.
Mr. Martin , the able Superintend
ent of the Institution was present and
directed certain interesting exercises
in pantomime and sign-manual conver
sations between several of the young
mutes of both sexes. The conversa
tion which was carried on by the
touch of hands between Miss Gas
ton and a young lad, struck us as
one of the most original and remarka
ble features of the exhibition.
Altogether, the occasion was one of
rare and pleasing interest.
Mrs. Dufrocq , the amiable matron
of the institution was also in attend
ance, to assist in supervising the gen
eral arrangements of the exhibition.
The audience, we are pleased to
say, wap,composed of a goodly num
ber of the ladies and gentlemen of our
city, besides officers of the army, all
of whom seemed to enjoy the wonder
ful and meritorious talent and skill
displayed by the performers.
fjy Godcy's Ladt/s Book for Oc
tober reached us from the publisher
a couple of days ago. It has been a
good while coming, but, "better kte
than never." The features of the
present number are as attractive as
usual. A highly finished engraving
from the Cartoons of Raphael forms
one of its most elegant embellishments.
Its fashion plates, drawing, embroid
ery and braiding designs and patterns
&c., are worthy the attention and
study of our lady friends who affect
the styles and novelties of the beau
monde.
E clipse of the S un .—Look out,
if the weather be fair, for a grand
eclipse of the sun on Thursday morn
ing next. It is "advertised" hy the
knowing ones to commence in this
latitude shortly after seven o'clock
and will continue for about three
hours. It will be what is termed an
"annular" eclipse.

prince of Denmark and the Princess

Abandoned and Confiscated Lands.
We have noticed that recently a
large amount cf valuable property in
New Orleans which had been taken
possession of by the Government
under the "abandonment" plea and,
in some instances, we believe, held as
confiscated property, has been re
turned to its several owners; the
latter having been duly pardoned by
the President. Following this action,
we find that arrangements are about
to be entered into by Gen. Howard,
the head of the Freedmen's Bureau
at Washington for a general restora
tion throughout the South of property
now held as abandoned and confis
cated, said restoration to be made
with scrupulous exactness in regard
to the title and ownership of said de
scription of property.
A circular just issued by the Wash
ington Bureau, which we here annex»
corroborates the statement above :
"Assistant Commissioners are directed
their reports of abandoned or confis
cated lands to arrange the name« of former
owner» of mich lands in each county, dis
trict or parish in alphabetical order. The
number of acres herein required to be
stated will always be given as nearly as
the same can be ascertained. Copies of all
orders returning property to former own
ers will be forwarded to this Bureau as
soon as issued, in compliance with special
instructions from the head of the Bureau,
and the papers in such cases will be re
turned with copies of the orders.' 1
These measures of relief will be
hailed with pleasure and satisfaction
by the friends of the General Gov
ernment everywhere. It is another
evidence of that generous policy by
which the Administration of Presi
dent Johnson is recommending itself
to the approbation and good will of
the people.
A highly important case is re
ported in the Jackson (Miss.) News
of the 11th, wherein the War De
partment is made to appear in a light
at once honorable, just and humane.
On the 25th of August last, says
the News, Mr. C. W. Wood, through
Hon. T. C. Tupper, applied to Gen.
Howard, Commissioner of the Bu
reau of Refugees, Freedmen and
Abandoned Lands, for relief upon
this state of the case : An agent of
the bureau claimed that the property
of Mr. Wood was liable to confisca
tion, upon the ground that he was
worth over $20,000, and that it w1ff
his duty to seize and take possession
of the same, and thereupon said
agent took possession of a horse and
buggy and a lot of cotton ; and stated
that he would take possession of Mr.
Wood's residence, unless he would
pay rent for the same, monthly, in
which he (Wood) agreed to do.
Thereupon Mr. Wood applied to
Commissioner Howard, claiming that
these proceedings were unauthorized
and illegal, asked for the restoration
of his property—whereupon the fol
lowing order was made in the case :
War Departmbht, Burkau R., f. akd A. l., I
Washington, August 26th, 1865. j
Respectfully referred to Col. Sarauel
Thoinas, Assistant Commissioner State of
Mississippi.
T.here is no authority for such a proceed
ing as is herein reported. You cannot
take personal property of any description
for the use of the Bureau, and only such
real estate as is abandoned or duly Confis
cated and turned over to you by the Uni
ted States District Court. Several com
plaints of such seizures in Mississippi have
been reported. They are illegal and un
authorized. Circular No. 13, from this
Bureau, does not contemplate such pro
ceedings. You will therefore cause the
real and po sonal property of Mr. Wood,
as herein indicated, te be restored to him,
and take similar action in all like cases,
without delay.
By order of Major Gen. Howard :

Important to the Cotton Trade.—
It was announced some time since
that the Secretary of the Treasury
was eDgaged upon various plans for
the relief of holders of cotton in the
interior of the Southern States— plan
ters and others—who wish to send
their cotton to market, but are unable
to pay the internal revenue in advance
required by law.
The Secretary has arrived at a
decision, which is hoped will tnateri
ally relieve the classa of persons allu
ded to, and materially stimulate the
forwarding of cotton that may be de
tained at interior depots, for the
cause assigned.
Mr. McCulloch has decided that
the internal revenue tax on cotton can
hereafter be paid in New Orleans,
New York, St. Louis, Cairo, Philadel
phia, Boston and Baltimore, at the
option of the owners.— N. O. Pica

EN'S BALL.
all and Supper are in
conleppuatiéta by the Firemen of
Baton Rouge. The affair is intended
to tome öff at Pike's Hall on Satur
dayT nigiit.t the 4th of next month.
The object is, to try and realize from
the jfr^ceeds of the entertainment
futicls, sufficient tp enable the mem
bers of Independence Fire Company
to purchase a new set of hose, of
which the Company is greatly in
need. Similar recourse was had
by the weiiibete 4k>me years since,
for the procuring of funds for the
same purpose, which met with de
cided success. Our City Treasury
is not in a condition to meet an ap
propriation to aid the Company in
this matter, hence the necessity of
resorting to the plan in question.
The firemen for the past two years
have had to rely upon their indi
vidual efforts and means to sustain
the Company, and it is no more than
right that they should receive through
some such medium as they propose,
the assistance of their fellow citizens.
In this, we hope they will be heartily
seconded.
From the names which we have
seen of those who are entrusted with
the getting up and management of
the Ball and Supper, we are satisfied
that the occasion will prove a splen
did one. It will be the first time
that any such entertainment ever
took place in Pike's Hall. The im
mense capacity of the Hall, renders
it peculiarly fitted for the conveni
ence and enjoyment of convivial par
ties.
Every one who can, should pur
chase a ticket, even if it be out of
his power to attend, as by so doing,
a useful and praiseworthy object
will be subserved.
A programme of the affair will be
published in our next, and we are re
quested to state that the invitations
will be issued in a few days.

LOVE'S SPIRIT. -
*Twas twilight and tbe foaming billow«
Roll'd away in mournful chime«;
'Twin twilight and the ocean's hollowi
Rang loudly o'er the watery chimes—
Bui lo, who glides alonar the deep 1
And slowly now the murmur's sink ;
The noisy waves are charmed to sleep
And guah no more In friendly link.
A form is seen of snowy white,
It is an angel midst the sea.
Whj hast thou left thy heavenly home
8weet spirit of immortal frame!
Why errest thou waere thosr't unknown
Sweet spirit what may be thy name?
Art thon the liren's loving tister
So o'er the level tide to stray?
I see, tbou art the ocean's daughter,
Thou art the water's fair array.
But speak, I long to hear tby voice,
If thou'rt a spirit speak to me.
I dwell In loving hearts alone,
I seek the gentle and the kind ;
Where virtue dwells there is my home,
In s-,rrow ne thou'lt alwajs find.
Friend after friend is soon forgot
And aever one is lost to me,
Whatever m.y have been his lot,
Although they many, many be.
Sweet angel, always spank to me,
I see tbou art love's spirit.
