At the bead of the hail stood a large sable, reaching almost the eutire width of the room, At this were scated General Grant and the other general officers present, together with fn filling in of members of the respective staifs of these officers. Opposite, at the same tabio, wore seated the chairman of the meeting and com- mittee of reception. The decorations of this table were very excellent. In the centre, immediately before Geveral Grant, stood an immense pyramid, four feet bigh, and divided Into several parts, each resting one above the other on a series of small pillars. Surmounting this structure was the American eagle and sbield. In tbo iret division stoog a most delicate figure of a female, poised upon one foot, with a trumpet in her hand, pro- cinimirg freedom. The figure was termed ‘The Herald of Freedom.”’ In the second was a figure of the ‘Goddess of Liberty,” all about her resting the insignia of her high aad glorions office, Upon the exterior of the pyramid were various representations, and, in visible characters, tbe immortal words:—Be! , Fort Heary, Fort Don- pg pr Ie gag ee te hag aga fcknowieise,anywnero or in aay form. the existance of ald REY spell Ta og Mthich was | sentiments which I have #o long and #0 ardently desired written * Unconditional Surrender Grant.”?

It is woll known that tho proclamation excepted New Orlcans and tho, surrounding paishes, and stated that élavory oxisted therein as it did prior to the break- Ing out.of the rebellion, Tho agreoment between Gene ral Banks and the planters is also weil known, It egtab- lished, as it wero, a system of froo labor, and under it tho planter considered himsolf perfectly safe in attempt. ing to raise a partial if not a full crop this sorzon, What fg tho result? Why, tho exception contained in the pro- olamation ts a mere farce. Slavery no more exists here to- day than it doce on the Island of Jamaica or iu the city of Tendon. Tho most loyal citizen of New Orleans could not, oven if be had been robbed of everything else by rebel rule, recover, by apy known authority, a lave ifho or sto saw fit to leave his or ber master or mistress, ‘The agreement is rapidly assuming the same form as the excoption, and I will show you by one instance only in what manner. A planter, one of those who was party to the agreement, and who in ordinary timos was able toralse « crop of at least seven hundrea hogsheads of sugar, gives me the information. 1 will not for tho preseat mention his name, bat merely tell bis story. Ho informs me that when tho agreement was signed by which he was bound to allow his Slaves so mach in payment for thelr Inbor, he considered himsoif safe from furthor molestation ; but, knowing in how great a measure the nogroes had becomo domoratized, he aetermined to plant less than naual, fearing that’ by attempting too much he might loge all. Congequontly he planted but little over one-half his uscai crop. Everything with him wont on finely; his cron looked woll and gave every promise of at ‘least foor hundred hogsbeads. His noxroes were satistied, and worked willingly, better cven than be imagined.
