His friends in the elty were interested in his welfare, and when a mer chant was about to journey to the place where the young man had located, he was requested to visit the emigrant and ascertain how lie lived, and what sort of a wife he had chosen. Vis pros pects, etc. Accordingly the New Yorker ascer tained the residence of his young friend, and called upon him quite early in the morning. He found him in a small, neat cottage, and just taking his breakfast. The introduction of the New Yorker to his wife was quite off-hand and unceremonious, and he was requested to bo 6eated and partake of the morning meal. 1 he young wife had prepared the steak,, biscuit and coffee, with her own hands, and for a table had used her kneading board, over which a napkin was spread, tind the 'board' placed on her lap. Ihe New Yorker declined a seat at the table, and took his j leave. On making his report to his New York friends j:s to how he found his young friend living, he described the st le as 'magnificent!' and for cxplanatit n ol" the superlative, he said that were he the ow.ner (Of that young man's furniture, he would not t; ke ten thousand dollars for the legs of liis table!"

If the United States Congress take heed of the. popular voice in time, we may be saved from much suffering. Acting on this belief a num ber ot gentlemen ol both sections of the country have agreed to suggest the presentation of mon ster memorials to Congress and the President, asking that the poliey of the country may be im mediately conformed to the actual needs ot the situation and to the expressed demands of pub lie opinion. Below will be found this memorial, which has been prepared and recommended to the South ern people with this view. We would request our readers to bestow their earnest attention up on it. We believe thty will agree with us in the conclusion that this u-sovement, if it become general, may do much good. Even if Congress refuse to modify its policy, the fact of refusal, in the face of an overwhelming expression of opin ion from both sections of the country, will place it still more decidedly in the wrong and streng then the hands of that great party which is tc be charged with the final solution and settlement of these momentous problems : To his Excellency tlie President and the Sena tors and Representatives of the U. S. Congress. The undersigned, citizens of the .State of Lou isiana, respectfully represent Jhal the political development of the past few mouths have de monstrated the fact that the Reconstruction acts of Congress will, if persisted in, produce a con flict of races which will result in the desolation of the country, and the serious if not irreparable injury of both races in the Southern States. That the negroes of this State are organized into secret bands termed "loyal leagues," sworn and combined against their former owners and citizens of the State, in order to obtain control ol the government. lhat this credulous race has been deluded by designing men into the belief that the property of the white citizens of the State will be divided amongst them. That, under these demoralizing influences, they are daily refusing to fulfill their contracts, or labor for the support of themselves and their families. That, in consequence of this demoralization, planting in this State has resulted in the ruinous failure of a large majority of our planters, and. of course, in the necessity of its abandonment. That, before the clo;.e of the present year, the negroes, with but few exceptions, will have con sumed or wasted all their wages, or share of the crop, and be destitute' of the means of subsis ts nee. That the white race will be compelled to limit their planting to the labor of their own families, while the negroes will not have the means, if they had the capacity, to plant on their own ac count. Under these circumstances, famine, with all its attendant horrors, must soon come upon this im provident race. In view of these impending calamities, the undersigned would earnestly appeal to the Presi dent and Congress to give prompt attention to this vitally important matter and provide imme diately such remedy as in their wisdom can be devised, to avert the ruin which, unless arrested, must speedily come upon us.

Mr Jefferson Davis, ac companied by Judge Ould, visited the fair on that night, and, whilst he was enjoying the deli cacies at the supper table, the ladies and gentle men present agreed to raffle off a most beautiful cigar stand with a musical box attached, which had been sent, with many other handsome ar ticles, from Brussels,, Belgiunij the winner to present it to him. The rafile occurred, and the prize was won by a gentleman from Baltimore, Mr M., who requested that Miss M. C. II., the interesting young lady who was instrumental in getting up the raffle, should present it in the name of those who had contributed. Miss II., approaching the Ex-President, said : "Mr Davis In the name and at the request of the gentleman who won the prize, and of those ladies and gentlemen who contributed, I present you this token of our respect for you, the Presi dent of the Confederate States. We only wish we had something more worthy of your accep tance, but, alter looking around the table, find nothing more suitable, and though small the gift, we hone you will accept it. We wish from our hearts every blessing for yourself and family." In reply, Mr Davis said : "I thank you and the ladies and gentlemen for your kindness, and will place this with the gold headed cane presented to me by the Catholic ladies of Norfolk, who held , a fair for a charita ble purpose last spring. Your kindness will nt be forgotten. Ihe Catholics have always been my friends, and I cannot forget the circumstance that the Holy Father, the head of your Church, was the first sovereign who sent me his blessing in my misfortunes. May God bless you all." After which, Mr Davis departed, amidst the adieus and blessings of those present. Rich mond Whig. SADDLES, HARNESS, &c. I. W.

Dec 27 1867. ftn : What Happened at our Honse. ; . r , BY PETES 1LPORUM, ESQ. After we were married, well say about k year, wun mornin tharwns a terrible commoehun in our house old wimmin running in and out, and finally the Doctor he cum ; I was in a great hurry myself, wakin to hear, I hardly noed what to do, but after awhile, an ole granny of a woman, as had been very bissy about thar, poked her hed into the room whar I was walking about and ses, ees sne: ".Mr Sporum, hit s a gal." "What," ses I. "A gal," ses she, an with that she pops her head back again. Well thinks I, I'm, the daddy uv a gal, and begin to feel my keeping nicely I'd ruther it ms a boy tho' thinks I, for he'd feel nearer to me, as how he would be less chance for Sporums to run out, but, considering everything, a gal will do mity well. J ust then the old nuss pokes her head out an ses, - Ses she: "Another wun, Mr Sporum, a fine boy." "Anuther," ses I, that's rather crowdin things on to a fellow. She laffed and poked her hed back. Well, thinks I, this is no joke sure; at this lick I'll have family enuff to do me in a few years, but lue ajuiu s win, not mine, oe aun. Jist then the ole devil, (I always will hate her,) pokes her hed in an ses, Ses she : "A nutter gal, Mr Sporum." "Anuther what," ses L 'Anuther gal' ses she. "Well," ses ij "go rite strate and tell Sal I won't stand it don't want 'em; I ain't going to hav 'em; dusshe think I'm a Turk? or a Mor mon? or Brlgham Young? that she'd go for to hav thribbs? three at a pop?, dus she think I am wuth a hundred thousand ? that I am Jacob Aster or Mr Boschile? that I can afford to hav thribbs, and clothe and feed three children at a time? I ain't agoin to stand it no how, I didn't wan't 'em, I don't want 'em and I ain't goin to want 'em now nor no other time. Haint I bin a good dutiful husband to Sal ! Haint I kept in doors uv a nite. an quit chawin terbacker, an smokin sigars jist to please her ? haint I attended divine worship regular? haint I bought her all the bonnets and frocks she wanted? an then for her to hav thribbs! I wont live with her, she noed better now and hadn't orter dun it. She dun it with her iso open, an must take the con sequences. I didn't think Sal would serve me sich a trick no how. Have I ever stole a horse? hav I ever done any mean trick, that she should serve mc in this way? An with thaf I laid down on the settee, and felt orful bad, and the more I thot about it. the wuss I felt. Presently Sal's mammy, old Miss Jones, cum in an ses : Ses she, "Better cum in and see what pretty chillun yu've got." "Chillun," ses I, "you'd better say a whole litter. Now Miss Jones, I luv Sal you no, and have tried to make a good husbancl, but I call this a soaly trick and if thar is any law in this country, I'm going to see if omen can have thribbs, and make a man take keer uv 'em. 1 aint agoin to begin to do it," ses I. With that she iaffed fit to kill herself, and scd any uther would be proud to be in my shose. I told her I'd sell out mity cheap if anybody wanted to take my place. Well, the upshot uv it all was, that she persuaded me I was all rong, and got me to go in the room whar they all was. When I got in Sal looked so lovin at me, an reached out her little hands so much like a poor deer helpless chile that I forgot every thing but my luv lor. her, aud folded her up gently to my heart like a preshus treasure, and I didn't keer if she had forty uv 'em. - Jis then number one sot up a whine like a young pup, and all the balance followed. Them thribbs knew their daddy. Washington Items. The postponement of the trial of Mr Davis surprised no well-informed person here. It is not for a moment supposed that he will be tried in March next. The President is receiving his friends very generally now when they call. He does not feel at all alarmed at the status of affairs, and will act with great force when the proper moment arrives. It is generally understood that Commissioner of Revenue, Rollins, wil soon resign. The Reconstruction Committee has had a meeting at Thad Steven's room. A majority holds that further legislation is; necessary before reconstruction can be completed. The Judges of the Supreme Court, led by Chase, visited the President on the 2d.', It is safe to predict the early removal of Gen eral Pope. His arbitrary and unnecessary or ders are too often multiplied to be tolerated. His recent order, that official advertisements must only be inserted in Radical papers, is con sidered as carrying matters too far. It is probable that some specific instructions will soon be given to all the military comman ders South to look after armed negro organiza tions. . A New Synagogue. A new Hebrew Syna gogue has just been erected in New York at a cost of $500,000. The Post, of that city, says it is larger than Trinity Church, and adds: This edifice is erected by a sect known as the Reformed Jews, who have departed from the an cient faith in many ways, but more especially in the manner of worship. ' In other synagogues the main floor is open and unencumbered by scats, a reading desk occupying the centre of the room. In this synagogue all is changed except the ark, which rests in its usual place in the transept. The Reformed Jews have a choir like that of the Episcopal Church, and the centre of the building is filled with pews and aisles. , Un der the old dispensation men and women do net sit together, and men wear their hats during the service, and there is no organ nor choir of B:ngers In the Reformed synagogue the sexes occupy seats together, as in Protestant churches, and the service is read from adesk or pulpit, while j the music is furnished by an organ and the singers siaiiuneu in ine ganery f Lynched A negro who outraged a Mrs. Baker, of Princeton, Indiana, was caught the same night. He confessed, was ; stabbed, she and beaten till dead, and then dragged through the streets. . The reporj of tbe j'Secretary of . th Trearory is a longer document than the . President' Mes sage; and we can only give a brief tynopsia of the leading points. . He still adheres to the policy of contraction of the currency as the proper one to be pursued, and thinks there is no reason why the business of the country cannot, be brought to a specie basis by July 1, 1869.; In order to bring this about he holds that ? three things are necessery; first,' the funding or payment of the balance of the interest-bearing notes, and s con tinuance of the policy of contraction; second, the full maintenance of the public faith in the pay ment of the public debt; and, third, - ,the restora tion of the Southern States. . He argues that the question" of spefie payments , nnderlics the great questions of the currency, . taxation t and recon struction, and he urges this point elaboratelyr He is opposed to the project of abolishing the National Bank note currency; urges greater sta bility in our revenue laws; recommends r a revi sion of the tariff, which he says yields a large amount of revenue, yet fails to protect American manufacturing interets; and calls attention to the decline of the American shipping interest. The Internal Revenue laws, he aays would have yielded more revenue than estimated if it had not been for the whiskey frauds, and tho failure of the revenue officers to collect the whiskey tax, showing that both the officers and manufac turers of the article have become thoroughly dv moralized by the temptations to evade . or violate the law. lie urges economy in tho : public ex penditures, and recurs to the subject of keeping faith in the payment of the bonds. On this lat ter subject he quotes from a speech mado by Mr. Stevens in the House while one of the Loan bills was under consideration, in which he twice re ferred to the bonds as being payable in gold On the question of reconstruction ; with the business prosperity of the country,, Ijo refers to the fact that last year, notwithstanding the crip pled condition of the Southern States, those States furnished three-fourths of all .the exports sent abroad to keep up the balance of trade, Respecting the matter of taxation of Government bonds and the funding of our loans, he makes an important recommendation in favor of a consoli dated six per cent, loan, to run. twenty y ears, from which one-sixth of the interest shall be an nually withheld from the bondholders and paid over to the individual States.
