Uknbvoi.knt Project . —The
Indies of our city aro contemplating
a movement, designed to subserve a
Lenevolent object, in which, as time
will [shortly develop, "the end will
justify the means." They propose
giving on the evening of the Eighth
of January, a fancy dress ball for
the young folks, the admission to
which will ho fixed at a reasonable
charge. The proceeds of this enter
tninjmjut are to be devoted to a pur
posa, the charitable nature of which
we are requested to state, will bo
made known in due time, »s will be
also, other particulars connected with
the undertaking.
M^There whs considerable "scrim
magiog,' in New Orleans on Christ
mus night. Rioting end tumult were
the mentis resorted to by some of the
intractable» for celebrating the day. A
number were knocked down, others
wounded, and but for the cournge and
determination of the police force, the
public peaoe and tranquility would
have suffered vastly more. The jails
are crowded with the offending parties
arrested by the police and the Court«
are busy trying the many eases
brought up before them. The rioters
will be apt to realize that "iho way of
the transgressor is hard," by the time
they shall have reaped their jurtt de
serts.
Apart from the warring scenes
and disturbances above alluded to
Christmas day was attended with
many pleasing observances in the
city. Business places were closed
early, except where toy and fancy
articles were for sale, all of which
were thronged, ns wore also the
streets, by the gay and cheerful.
The churches too were all well filled,
and sumptuous tables abounded, ren
dering enjoyment and receiving horn
ago as the occasion merited and de
manded.
L kr and the Virginia Guns.—
General Lee writes to a gentleman in
New York, in reference to the recent
senseless rumor that he had requested
permission of the Government to re
tain dftrtain pieces of artillery at Lex
ington for the use of his students :
"I havo nothing to do with the
Military Institution hero; did not
know there were any guns here ; have
no use for any guns, and never made
any application for them."
Smallpox in Mobiw .—The Times
says last week the number of deaths
by smallpox, as reported by the civil
aNd military authorities, was ascer
tained to be ten out of fifty-eight, or
more than one sixth of the whole mor
tality.
WäT We are pleased to see that the
enterprising purchaser of the splendid
row koowu as the Moresque or Bar
reli Buildings at the corner of Poy
dras and Camp, has commenced the
work of Completion of these impor
tant buildings. Mr. Gauche expects
very soon to be able to open in the
corner pf these buildings one of the
most splendid queensware establish
ments on the continent. He will, in
the meantime, prosecute the work on
the other buildings and hopes in a
very short time to have thorn ready
for use and occupation. When fin
ished they will be a great addition to
the appearance and business of Camp
street.-— N. O. Pieni/une.
HâJf S. R. Mallory, of Florida, the
late Secretary of the Confederate Navy,
has written a letter from Fwrt Pulaski,
where be is confined, urging the peo
ple of Florida to take such measures,
through both public and private
means, as shall insure full civil pro
tection to the negroes and provide
tbem such an education as shall ren
der them au "enlightened class of tree
labor." It is also stated in the news
papers that Mr. Mallory is shortly to
be brought to trial before the proper !

STATESMANSHIP
How few, if any there be, among
the statesmen "so called," of the Re
public, who can fill the measure of
true greatness and wisdom! Of speci'
meus, such as they are, we can point
to multitudes; but we search in vain
for such grand creations of the heart
and soul, aruortg our living, seilte
public men, as dignified and adorned
those sages who figured in the earlier
periods of the country and whoso man
tles falling upon the shoulders of such
giants as Webster, Calhoun and Clay
of later days, seem to have closed forever
around the forms of those intellectual
heroes and like their buiiai garments
to have descended with tlioin to the
tomb.
What, do we find in the National
Congress, the supposed embodiment
of ''all the wisdom" of the country, to
compare in towering, grand and noble
statesmanship with tho characters ju«t
named ? Leading minds and cunning
politicians there certainly are, who af
fect the virtues of tho statesmen with'
out possessing them; or, whorevol in an
atmosphere of sectionalism inhaling
and exhaling its deadly poison and
glorying in tho shame of its corrup
lion. Heaven save the Republic from
such statesmen and their statesmen,
ship !
The true statesman implies one
who can soar above the groveling
passions and prejudices of' section or
of faction; who disclose« a Blind
and soul capacious enough to take in,
appreciate and labor for the good of
a whole people; and who cotnöiries
withal, a steadfast honesty and in
tegrity of character calculated to in
spire trust and confidence ntnong the
jeople. Are we to look for tho ex
istence of such qualities in the ranks
of the most prominent politicians
now before tho Nation ? Can we
point to either one of those—to
Thaddens Stevens, to Sumner, Wil
son, Beecher, Phillips, and othors of
the same ilk, and say thou art the
man who fills the bill? Alas, no!
Like their radical instincts, theories
ami practices, they are found radi.
cnlly defective when sounded by the
plummet of a wise, consistent and
patriotic statesmanship. As com
pared with the illustrious hosts who
have preceded them on the stage of
political action, commencing with tin
earliest dawn of the Republic and
ending with Webster, Clay and Cal
houn, they are as pigmies, mottled
deformed and hideous, the essence
and impersonation of fanaticism, hate
And vindictiveness. Valorous knights
of the Procrusteau school of moral and
political reform ! Sublime oracles of
the worshipers of long-worded aud
long-winded metaphysical abstrac
tions ! Chosen spirits of tho evil
genii of discord and animosity!
'ease your bitterness and reviling»*
Leave off your idle prating« about
philanthropy and the principles of
government as expounded according
to your contracted ideas and notions
and if it be possible, turn over ft new
leaf for the coming year, and reform
yourselves altogether. Instead of
paltry, sectional politicians, strive to
riact. the better part of statesmen
and let tho world resound with some
thing more glorious and lovely than
your inharmonious clashings with a
nation's weal and prosperity. Be
something more than mere
•Rubbles on a pea of matter borne,
That rise und break and to that *ea return/'
which yourselves and your reputation
must be in ail that pertains to your
future fame and history, save in the
light of a "bad eminence ;" unless (
perforce, you can change tho consti
tutions of your natures and give to
the world a new revelatiou which
shall redouud to your own honor and
the country's glory.

Terrible and Swift Justice.—a
few days since Mrs. Heady, who live»
in Union county, Ky., had sold her
land and received some eight bun
dred or a thousand dollars in cash,
day or two after she had received
the money, a travelling stranger called
late in the evening, and desired to get
lodging for the night. The lady de
ciined, but the stranger insisted, and
Mrs. Heady consented to let him re
main over night.
At the usual hour for retiring, the
stranger proceeded up r.tairs to bed
Lute in the night he was aroused by
the lady of the house, who told him
that there were three or four persons
trying to break into the house, and
she believed they were robbers, who
had come there for the purpose of
robbing her of her money.
The stranger arose seized his pistol
told her to go down stairs and open
the door when he told her, and to get
behind the door an she opened it, and
that he would defend her. Placing
himself so that he could see by the
light of the door when any one en
tered, he gave the word, the lady
opened the door, and in rushed a man
who no sooner placed his foot on the
door than he fell dead by a bullet
from tho stranger's pistol.
A second man rushed in and fell
dead by the second shot. The third
appeared aud was severely wounded
by the third shot, and turned and ran
off, leaving a trace of blood behind
him.
The men who had been killed
were blacked, and, when the blacking
had beeu washed off their faces, Mrs
Heady recognized with horror her own
sun-in-daw as one of the men, and Ihs
other was a near neighbor and friend
It was believed that the mounted
man was her own son. We did not
learn the names ot the parties killed,
nor that of the stranger, who so prov
identially appeared to save the lady,
her money, and perhaps her life.-—

Suroicai, Operations with Nitrous
Oxuie .—Two very important opera
tions in surgery were made by Dr.
Carnochan, at Wtird's Island Hospi
tal, on Saturday last, while the pa
tients were rendered insensible to pain,
by the nitrous oxide gas, administered
by Dr. (Jolton. The operation con
•isted in the amputation of the leg
for two pati <-ntB. The gas proved
an entire success, and Dr. (Jarnochan
expressed himself more than pleased
with it. The first patient—a full
grown man —was rendered insensible
in forty-five seconds from the time he
commenced inhaling the gas ; and
when the operation was completed,
he recovered consciousness in about
twenty seconds. The man awoke,
apparently as bright and fresh as be
fore inhaling the gait. The next op
eration was equally successful, except
that the patient—a boy—on being
told that it was all over, exclaimed :
"Oh I I ain't asleep yet : I ain't asleep
yet 1 It ain't off !"
Dr. Carnochan stated that from the
rapidity with which the gas opera
ted—the entire insensibility to pain
induced—the suddenness of returning
consciousness, attended by no nausea
or sickness, the gas appeared tobe far
superior to chloruform and ether as an
anesthetic agent. Such seemed to be
the opinion of all the surgeons present.
This is, probably, the imitation of an
effective agent which will ultimately
supersede the use of chloroform and
ether.— New York Tribune.
