They hope, by restoring the old coustitation the eid laws, to restore also the old system of slavery. ‘There was a@ time, since the war commenced, when this might baye ween done; but circumstances aller cases, Two yeara and more of aangutnary warfare have worked a change { the minds of the people of the country, and we adopted measures that have put the reorganization of the Union and the States a they were out of the question. 1 was one the hope of the conservative party of the North to see the country reunited and the sovereignty of tho States In their proper sphere respected. Slavery was one of the great principles of the Southern States; in fact, it waa their all in all; but siuee we Dave put arms in the hands of the once fettered nogroes, and taught them that they are {n the sight of God aud man as good as the white race, (hey have added their own theories of their rights, and have learned to discusa the ‘dignity of free labor.'’ One hundred thousand negroes aro new in arma in the United States, and that uunber t3 daily augmenting.

It has received a fatal blow which will eventuate in making thie country free from the curse of slaves and siayery. A short deliberation on this subject by those who closely observe tranepiring events cannot but lead to the conclusions I have advanced. All Saints’ Day,'’ which occurred on Sunday, the let wag duty observed In New Orleans, in @ mani pecu'lar to no other city iu the Union. The feature of t! Occasion is the visits of the populace to the graveyards, where they deccrate the tombs of departed ones with chaplets of flowers, evergroens and tmmertlies, The day ia, infact,a festal day in honor of all the angels and saints in Heaven, aud is so observed by the Roman Ca- tholic, Protestang piscopal and Lutheran churches. ‘This festival has charbcterized the Eastern churches since the fourth century, aud tho Western since the carly part of the soventh century, when foatituted by Pope Boniface TY., on the occasion of the dedication of the antheon—a temple built by Marens Agrippa, B. C. 26, fa honor of Jupiter the Avenger and all the gods—to the worship of the Wue God. under the invocation of the Virgin Mary and all tho saints, It was not, however, until the ninth century that the feast became genera). ‘To give an adequate idea of the New Urieans cometeries IT will state that, owing to the fact.ghat portions of this city are below the surface of thgeriver. aud the couse quent saturation of the goll by water, it is not expedient to inter the dead under the natural gurface of the ground, Other means, therefore, are adopted. They are as fol- lowa:—The cemete are surrounded by walled embank- ments ten or twelve feot in thickness, and sufficiently bieh to hold tvree or four tiers of coMns, The strect sido o: the embankment bas the appearance of a wall. The single graves are dug in the earth on the perpendicular side of the inner face of the wall, tho aperture of cach being closed witha gravestone, Some of there single graves are ornamonted with extreme tate, and on the Stones are inacribed touching lines to the memory of the departed. The enceinte or interior of these cometeries are occupied’ by tho tombs of the more opulent and distinguished famitics. They are built separately, of all shapes and sizes, come of them after the style of historic templee and mauso‘eums, giving the place the true appearance of a city of the dead. T visitod several of thoro cometcries, and as I viewed the display for the first timo I experienced a peculiar impres. sion, approximating to a feeling of awo. As Tpasscd around the several graves at every stop my eyes were witnesses of floraland drapery displays, candies were Durning profusely on graves and tombs, and the relatives of departed ones were soated at the graves, making a ptigrimage for a day at the placo where lie the remains of those they once joved. As! walked through St. Louis Cemetery my attention was attracted to a large crowd who appeared to be paying special ho mage at the grave of some distinguished ted one. 1 edged my way {nto the crowd to learn the object of this grave worship, when the sight of a large white tomd broke upon my vision. ‘The facade of it was tastefully decorated with black and white lace drapery, abd on the door of the tomb, in letters of evergreen, was the inecrip- tion, “Gonoral A. St Johnston, €. 8. A. Shiloh, April 6, 1862." A bys! ler informed me that the ro. mains of (nis gallant but erricg officer were brought to this city two days after the battfo in which hofell The corpse laid in stete in tho City Hall in this city for two days, sud was subsequently interred without apy coro- mony or military pomp, there being ouly two or three carriages at (he funeral. Passing to cthor parts of tuo cemetery, T saw elegant mansoleums of the finest polished marble, surmounted with miniature spires, artistic and ap; ropriate emblematic ornaments. On this occasion the gombre homes of the dead bdioomet with bright — flor There was something strangely beautiful in these tributes, They exbaled a rel fame and subtle whisper that the loved ones were be- weath, but yet not dead; that if dead they were still near; that it far Away (Ley were yet happter in Heaven. At he Girard Cemetery I aw a monumental -haft far above ite fellowa, towerlug high among the tombs, as once did the manly form the remains of which were beneath its base. No gentle band had placed a gariand of iumor- (elles ow it; 00 bright flower showed that the memory of ts departed subject was yot green in the minds of dear living relatives, although that once brave man gealed his life in defence of hia country. The arid matted grass waa in sad neglect; but beyond. the railing, by which the tomb ia enclosed, a beautiful willow bad shot up its trunk, and there it stands, with its reeling, trailing tresses over those sacred remains. On the tomb’ was the brief history of the departed one in the words, ‘Palo Alto, Monterey, Buena Vista.’ Tt was the tomb of Colonel Biiss, Such a visit as I have briefly described revolves itgelf into a great lesson. It leads ns to took beyond tho grave, to fect the comparative insignificance and oncer- tainty of our present atate, and admonishes us that a tine oming when the memory of high thoughts and noble purporos will be our only woalih Asad and painful accident occu: upon the New Orleane and 0; above Algiers, tu coneequ trains, by which twei ed co the ist inst were instautiy killed, foveral mortally wounded and sixty five others more er leas injured —Ttappeare t freight train left Brashear City ob the dist ult. at eight o'clock in the morning: be- sides its freight it had the Fifty fourth Illinois rogimont en board.

The United States yacht Corypheus, Captain Groyo, afew days ago captured three schooners, which were caught flagrante delicto in amuggling goods from this city into the rebel ilnes. They had been for some days con- cealed in Bayou Tchoupitoulas, and, thinking the moment favorable, the man baying them in charge attempted to take them out and proceed to afford succor to the rebels; but the activity of Captain Grove and bis officers inter- veaed, and thus frustrated the designs of these contra band traders.

United States vs. The Schooner Heilda and Cargo.—-Nai- sox, C. J.—Tho vessel and cargo in this cage were cap- tured about the 12th of October, 1861, by United Btates stoamer South Carolina, while attempting to break the jo of New Orleavs. The proof fs full on this point. sol was taken into the service of the goverment, ag also some arms oh board the samo. The vosse! and cargo were condomned in the Court below. On appeal by tho claimant, the case was submitted on briefs at the April term last, but no copies of aposttils were delivered tothe Court. J hayotaken the original papers on file, and looked into them. There does not ay to have Dean any claim for the oar; 1 agree the whole, ship aud cargo, were rightfully condemned, end affirm the de- creo boiow. ed States ex the Schooner Albert and Cargo.— . J.—This vessel and cargo were captured of Rattle Snake Shoals, near the mouth of Charleston Har bor, 8. C,, and about fiitcon or twonty giles from Charles. ton, steering at tho titao @ straight course into the harbor. The capture was ou the 1st of May, 1362. The vessel, with ;art of her cargo, sailed from Matane: © ba, stooped at Nagsan, and took in the rest, and start: ed, according to her papers, for the port of New York. ‘The cargo consisted chiefly of coffee, aweet Oil, fruits and sait. The taia_adinits be was wide of bis regular course to New York at the time of the capture; and also ist he was steeryg at the time square into the coast, which, ag expisined by one of the offcers on board the gunboat Huron, that made the capture, was sailing square into the harbor of Charicston. ‘Tho excnse set up is that the ves- sel encountered great stress of weather and head winds, but it doce not appear that she was in any way disabled or crippled, or (bat any reason existed for seeking to en- ler this port ‘ie whole cf the proofs eatisfy us thatthe excuse set up is without any meritorions foundation. and do not reasonably expiain the suspicious position of the vesro!. She lad been previously warned not to enter the port, aa it im a stato of blockade, aad the warning noted on her papers, ‘The court below condemned the vessel and cargo. We think the decroe right and shou'd be armed. ‘The vessel and cargo have been sold uoder an interioentory order, aud the fund remains for distri- dation. CONDEMNATION OF THE SLAVE BARK ACOUSTA, ONE OF APPLETON OAKSMITH’S VESSELS, UNITED States CIRCUIT CouRT. Before Hon.

Jacob A. Appley appeared as owner of the veseel and cargo, and put in his snewer, denying the several allega- tions ‘iu the information. ‘The proofs in the case are voluminous, and full on both sides, he Court below decreed condemnation of — vesset and cargo—from which decree on appeal was taken to this Court Fouding the proceedings below, the claimant applied to this Court for a discharge of veszel and cargo, o eateriug into the usual stipaiations with sureties, which applica tion was grapted,and the vessel discharged on October 28, 1561. She was again seized, ou a charge of the same offence, while tying Of Montauk |’ out the middie of November following, by the public authorities, and Drought to Greenport, where ste war the second time liveled for the offence. The appeal still pending in first chuge ia this Court, the District Attorney has very prop- erly produced uew proofs, whioh consist of tho facts aud circumstances upon which the vessel was the second time seized, and they are tuil to clear up any doubts that might have existed on the proofs at the hearing of the Court below. Tho vessel was originally purchased by the claimant, Appley, through the agency of Appleton Oak- smith, who was bie partuer in a mercantile frm at Greenport. Gokamith bad the superiutendence and con trol of the fitting out of the vessel the firet time, ostensi bly for the purpose of a whaling voyage. ibis was in May and June, 1861. The vessel was seized the 23d of thal montu, ax wo Dave already stated, ant was dis- charged, on stipulation, from the sciznte on October following, and delivered to Appley, the claimant; 4 again seized the middie of November. The facts and circumstances upon which this seoond scizare was made show that Apploton Oakamith again bad the superintend- ence and control of the yeasel, snd the fitting out aod ‘pment of her, a6 in the first instance, and with the privity and conour*ence of Appley, the owner, and at the {ime bis partner in business. The tew proofs before me show beyond all coutroveray that the second equip- ment of the vestel, ostensi>!y for a whaling voyage, wan in reality for the parpose and intent to ongage in the siave trade on the coast of Africa, and the tmtimate con- nection between the two transactions, namely, the fitting out of the vessel in Jane and again in October under the management of the seme parties, the second cannot but reflect light om the frat, @ad remove overy doubt that right be raised oa account of the character of the proofa Doing leas ciear and decisive ta ‘ormer, Tt ie quite apparent upon these proofs that, although Appley may have been the legal ewner of tho vosse), and if he did got participate itlegai fitting out and Ce and did not ex- pect to participate im the profits of the adventure, ho held the title for the benefit of Uaksmith, and ted him to assnme the entiro charge and control, as mach so as if had been owner, These proo's leave no doubt In 4 0d of the correctness of (he decree delow, aod hence it shonid be amirmed.

Lshould tect obliged by your contradicting the same, New Yor«, Nov. 13, 1863. ISAAC WEBBER. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Frivay, Nov. 13-6 P. M. The stock market commenced buoyant this morning, and @ healthy rise was looked for long before the opening of the board. New York Cen- tral sold at the commencement at 130% (the same as at the sccond board yesterday), advanced to 131 on the call, and in the board room afterwards to 132%. Erie was sold from 101 to 102 on the call, against 101 a 1017/ last evening, and closed at 103. Harlem advanced 114, Michigan Southern 194, Cleveland and Pittsburg 124, Hudson River 1, Chicago and Rock Island 134, Pittsburg and Fort Wayne 2%, Michigan Central 14%, and Illinois Central 1%. There was a atill further rise at the second board. As compared with the sales of the first, Frio went up 154, New York Centra! 2, Har- lem Michigan Central 1, Michigan Southern guarantecd 4, Cleveland and Toledo 1, Quicksilver Mining 21-3, Hudson River 1 Tinois Centrat %, Galena and Chicago 174, Milwaukee and Prai- rie du Chien 324, and all others from 4 to 3. The rise continued up to the close of the last session of the public board, and even afterwards, when New York Central reached 13444, Erie 10434, and Illi- noia Central 118%. The money market to-day exhibited a oheerful aspect, and gave promise of more ease and quiet; but confidence will not be fully re-established antit the opening of the coming week, when, if matters do not take another unfavorable turn, which is not in the least anticipated, we shall consider the crisisas over for atime. There wasno immediate necessity for the stringency that has attacked the money market for the last ten days, and, if there had been, it is averred that the Secretary of tho Treastity might have rendered relief by issuing the interest-bearing Treasury notes, which ao doubt isa correct opinion. These new notes ara now very much needed to take the place of the hoarded greenbacks, and the sooner Mr. Chase spreads them over the country from his printing office in Washington, the better will the people be watisticd. Gold opened at an advance on yesterday's prices, and before noon reached 14 not, however, fully maintained, and it soon fell of to %, In the afternoon it began to decline, and closed at 1467, which is lower than the price of the previous evening. There is a controversy now going on, between parties ia the interest of the Harlem Railroad on one side and the supporters of the Hudson River on the other, which was foreshadowed a few days since im a paragraph published in these columns, announcing that movements were on foot which might render it desirable for every shareholder in the New York Central road to retain control of his vote for some time to come. Tt appears that an attempt isto be made bya party, headed by o well known broker, who wields an influence in the management of the Hudson River road, to change the managers of the New York Central, and overslaugh Erastus Corning, the present President, for the purpose of per- manently retaining the connection between the two lines. The Vanderbilt or Harlem party op- pose the movement, for the reason that the present management favor the forming of @ business con- nection with their road. The opposition is power- fel and will not easily be overthrown. The Har- lemites can manage the assailents in this locality, while Mr. Corniog, with his vest influence in the middle and western parts of the State, has w de- cided advantage, and his power is rendemed still more formidable by the Enropean proxier, which he holds, The controversy is becoming very in- teresting, and no doubt before the Decem- ber, on which day the annual‘meeting Makes place, it will have become quite exciting.
