r.rilOYAL OF HIS HEilATSS FROII XEW osixaxs.
On Wednesday afternoon last, the re
m!Hnsof General Albert Sydney Johnston
were disinterred at New Orleans, and taken
to Texas. The Crescent says:
The body.it wa3 now seeu, bad been
bn;ied in a zinc case and a mahogany coffin.
The latter was found to have been greatly
deeayedMuring the past four years. But,
to understand its condition, it should be re
membered that the body had been buried
only about a month before the arrival of
"Butler" in this city, and that it was to
hira that the idea had occurred of institut
ing a search for treasure in the resting
place of the dead. Acting upon this
thought a provost guard appeared before
the present sexton (according to the state
ment which' the latter how makes,) and
ordered him, to conduct the party to the
grave of the departed soldier.. ..The sexton
did so; ho was then made to open the tomb,
and tle ' coffin was 1 removed therefrom.
Without waiting for the formality of un
screwing the lid, it . was violently prised
open; 'one of the side pieces was forced
from its fasteningsi and it was not until a
hole vvas cut in the zinc case,- which was
placed1 inside of the coffin, that the curiosity
of the'party was satisfied. The coffin, thus
partially, destroyed was then returned
so its festing place, and the' act was sub
sequently s recognized by the then existing
authorities, by the payment of the ordinary
fees U the sexton for his services upon the
occasion. . j-

Madame George Sand is now C2 years
old. In spite of her age, there is something
youthful in her appearance, which she prop
erly owes to. her sparkling eyes and the
cuns,' which, but slightly streaked with
gray, encircle her brow and temples. She
has a mild, pleasant voice, and expresses
herself in conversation with much ease and
simplicity. , When a visitor calls,' the first
thing she docs is to oner him a cigarette:
she lights one herself, and takes undoubted
pleasure in watching the little white clouds
as they curl in the air. Was she ever beau?

George Sand, in her youth, lived romance
She was married in her 13th year to an old
close-fisted crumudeon ofa country squire.
During one of his vacations, a young law
yer, Jules Sandeau, saw the young Aurore,
and fell in love with her; she returned his
passion and followed him to Paris disguis
ed as a student. The two young people
hiied a garret, and set themselves to work
to find means for their house-keeping. Ju
les wrote articles for the journals, which
Aurore copied out, besides planting flow
ers, which she disposed of at a neighboring
shop. At this period the great object of
the student's ambition was to be able to go
and see one of Victor Hugo's plays, in a
fine velvet coat, while the dream of Aurore
was to compass, for the same occasion,
tho acquisition of a beautiful tur
ban of the same material, with a drooping
plume, imitated from a custom of the 15th
century. -"What if I should try and write
something?" .suggested Aurore , one day,
when they had been discusssng the ways
and means of getting the garments. "Let

of womanly sentiment, a sentiment express
ing admiration for. heroism, and respect for
every one allied to the hero, but with the
exception of that sad solemnity, which we
did not witness, no such spectacle as that
of yesterday has been seen in New Orleans
during the last quarter ot. a century, and
perhaps never. before. . - . ;
No one, so far as. we cculd observe, rode,
excepting the ministers who officiated, and
one of the generals who has lost the use of
his limbs. The rest followed, although the.
way was a long one, on foot. . At every
square the crowd rapidly increased, until it
seemed to absorb all of the passinsr popu
lation of the streets. At one time it must
have extended in length almost a mile. It
was composed, without exception, of the
most respectable population of the city.
It certainly was the saddest we have ever
seen. There was not an exclamation or! a
shout upon the streets as it -passed; there
was; no appeal to. 'the" "emotions ,in any
dirge-like music; there was scarcely any
whispering or conversation in the immense
throng that 'followed! The fact that the
remains of a great man were being remov
ed,jwho. had . once eminently pommanded
respect, and that no display in music, col
ors. or processional bands had been attempt
ed, appealed more strongly to every behold
ers sympathy than if the most imposing
fuueral rites had been prepared. It was
this feeling, doubtless, that prompted the
ladies to walk as mourners, and to show
for the memory of the deceased the most
touching evidence of their respect ever yet
witnessed in this city,
to mind pictures of old-fash

Tennessee, with the incubus of Brown-
low and his hungry pack of "Loyalists,", is
reported to have twelve mills in operation,
with an invested. capital ot $700,000, and
producing an annual aggregate, of, manu
factured goods to the amount of $1,000,000.
J, South Carolina, upon whose devoted head
Sherman poured out his vials of wrath,
brings into play, from her ashes, eleven cot
ton lactones," running 27,000 spindles and
996 looms. : In the vicinity of Fayetteville,
North Carolina, there are one dozen fac
tories. At Raleigh, in the same State, fa
mammoth. building is to be erected for the
manufacturing of'cotton and' woolen
goods-f-while Charlotte is now producing
cloths and cassimeres of superior quality.
This latter mill alone runs 25,000 spindles,
and consumes about 3,000 pounds ot wool
weekly. Mississippi and Alabama are work
ing out the problem of their independence,
while Georgia, our own scourged State,
sends out a loud amen from 72 mills in op
eration and twelve in process of execution.
Of these latter, some are projected on 'a
scale to rival the notorious Lowell, or the
pretentious establishment of theledrncd Sen
