HALE & SONS. A GOOD STORY.—IS IT TRUE? New Orleans was illuminated on the evening of the day when Louisiana passed the secession ordinance, and the following storj connected there with is going the rounds:— It so happened that on the day of the illumi nation the captain of a Missi.ssippi steamboat and his lady were stopping at the St. Charles, and oc cupied a front room, on the third floor—the^rs^ floor of chambers—exactly in the centre of the hotel. The captain was a Union man, and—as the sequel will shjw—so was his wife. All the city was agitated during the afternoon in prospect of the grand gala night. The St. Charles was to be illuminated, of course. x\ccordingly, some time during the afternoon a servant knocked at the door of the captain’s room, carrying all the necessary trappings fi»r lighting up the chamber windows. Mrs. opened the door, when the following dialogue ensued; Lady. What have you got there? Servant. Candles, Missis, to light your win dows for de ’lumination. L. Well, you can return them to where you brought them from, as I shall not allow them in this room. S. (Not to be foiled so easily, resumed.) Oh! but massa told me to put up the lights, and so Fs got to put ’em up. L. Can’t he^ that; this is my room, and I shan’t allow the windows to be illuminated lor what I am opposed to; so that ends it. This closed the first act. The servant reported to the proprietors, who immediately proceeded to the lady’s room with a view to convincing her of the importance of permitting the servant to make ready for the grand evening light up. Said they, “This room is the most central in the entire front, and not to illuminate it will be to mar seriously the eflFect of the whole:” to which the lady replied: “I am sorry, gentlemen, to cause you any in- cot', venience, but I believe this room for the time being is ours by right, and I must positively de cline, in any way, to add eclat to a great outrage, as I conceive the whole disunion movement to be. My husband (who was out at the time) is a L nion man, and I am a Union woman, and this room cannot be illuminated ” A few more words were exchanged, which ended by the lady politely re questing the proprietors to leave her room. De termined not to be outdone in a matter of such grave importance, the captain was next found aud appealed to. He heard their case; said his wife had reported him correctly on the Union question, neverthele.«is, he would go with them to the room and see if the matter could be amicably arranged. tScene third ensued. The captain's disposition to yield was not to be seconded by his better half. They next proposed to vacate the best chamber iu her favor in some other part of the house, if that would be satisfactory, but the lady’s “2s ol” was still as peremptory as ever. Her point was gained, and the St. Charles was doomed to have a dark front chamber. Pleased with this triumph, Mrs. devised the following manoeuvre to make the most of her victory; Summoning a servant, she sent him out i to procure for her an x\merican flag, which, at ; dusk, bhe suspended from her window. This I‘made the fourth act in the play, and as the fifth is always indispensable, it had its place here. I When evening came, the streets, animated by a ' merry throng, were illuminated, but, alas! the St. , Charles was disfigured by its sombre chamber, when suddenly a succession of lamps, suspended on both sides of the flag, revealing the stars and strtpes, were lit up, and the ensign of the Union waved from the centre of a hotel illuminated in honor of its overthrow! The effect was, to give the impression that the whole house was thus pay ing homage to the American flag, and what is most significant, is the fact that the latter was ;reeted by the passing crowd with vociferous ap- I plause. Fredictcd Ticfvlt/-four years A^o.—It is a remarkable fact that the present secession move ment was foreshadowed just as it has occurred, in a work, called the ‘'Partisan Lea ler,” attribut ed to the pen of Judge Tpshur, of Virginia, who was killed by the bursting of the “ I’eacemaker.” In that work, under the gui-e of a novel, it was profos.sed that coming events were described. The Gult States, it was described, had seceded ill fon.sequence ut the election of a Northern President, and Virginia and other b(»rdtT States were about lollowin*: suit. An attempt was made to form treaties with forei-:ii nation.s, and free trade was established, which gave the South an unexampled prosperity. The current of events twenty-four years later has given these predic tions the form of fulfilled facts. The author only foreshadowed, however, what was in the minds of the leading politicians at that early day, and to prepare the way for which was the object of ! publishing the work. ‘*Oitr Garners are Fitf/.”—The great size I and the number of the grain warehouses in Chi cago are the wonder of all visiters. And yet : vast as they are—two of them affording room for , 7(K),000 bushels—there is not room in the city i for another week’s receipts—vessels and propel lers are in request for loading in order to receive and make room, lor what is arriving. As we are receiving from sixty to a hundred thousand bushels daily, it is plain that unless navigation opens within two or three weeks our railway nuina- gers will be obliged to send peremptory orders to the country to stop shipments. Our tables published a week ago show that we have now in the city at least -4,^00,000 bmshels of grain. The an.ount is probably greater by the receipts of la.st week. Of this we have 000 bushels of wheat and 1,000,000 bushels of corn. Taking the amount in store, by “cipher ing” a few moments some very curious results will bo reached. Allowing sixty bushels to the load, nearly double what the farmer’s team hauls, and it would take 71,(*60 teams to draw it; and if each team occupy twenty feet, it would take 8G5 miles of road to give them standing room. This is exactly the distance between Chi cago and Cairo. And, again, it will require vessels and propellers to clear out our warehouses if each one take a load of 15,000 bushels. Aiid yet all we have in store is not a tithe of what our farmers will send forward during the season, 1 if satisfactory prices are realized.
