Ow Boarp Stzamen Great Rervsuc, ‘New Ortmana, April 5, 1867. } Along the entire length of the lower Mississippi there is no locality more interesting to the eye of the weary voyageur, perbaps, than the “coast,” or that portion of Louisiana lying between Baton Rouge and the mouth of the river, It presents a continuous line of sugar planta- tions, elegant mansions and negro settlements, and is regarded asthe most productive region in the South, perhaps, The war, it is true, played sad havoc with some of the best plantations, as the charred and blackened rains of many a noble looking building will fully testify to; but still there are a large number of places under a high state of culture, and, judging from the healthy appearance of the young cane, the husbandman will have his reward, The passengers, most of whom are Northern people, seemed highly pleased with the “coast,” and the only regret was that they were not on terra firma, that they might more fally realize the delicious sensation of a day in June, ‘Soon after leaving Baton Rouge a pleasant aftair took piace in the saloon, The passengers—ladies and gentle- mon, without regard to politics or distinction of any kind—held a meeting and adopted a series of resolutions exceedingly complimentary to the Great Republic and her officors, which were ordered to be published in all the principal ini oi in New Orleans, St. Louis and Pittaburg. Soveral speeches were made on the occasion, ‘which were quite apropos, and elicited general praise, We arrived in New about daylight. The gun ‘was shining brilfiantly, the trees were in full bioom, the air was f1 it with perfume of & thousand flowers, while the littio birds warbled forth their praises from every tree top and gave us the assurance that winter was over and delicious spring had arrived.

New Orieans is traly a cosmopolitan city, as much if not more so than Now York. men, Mexicans, Britishers and Americans all find themselves equally at home in the Crescent City, and enjoy them- seives accordingly. At present they eschow. politics and give themselves ap to business and ploasure, with- out seeming to care whether Pbil Sheridan rules or not. You seo very tew traces of the rebellion in New Ori and tliere is less of the ‘Confederate as they call it, worn hefe than in any Southern city I ever vimtod. Outwardiy there seems to bea desire among the people to forgot the and do well in the future. Ido not suppose they jike Sheridan a bit, but they respect him, and ‘mean to five up to the laws as administered by him, whether they are obnoxious or not. Still they are all imbued with the idea that the day is not very distant when @ change in the feelings of the people at the North wiil restore them their lost rights, and thoy point to the result of the jate election in Con- nectieut as an evidence of the speedy destraction of the radical party and the formation of a more. conservative, constitution-abiding party in its stoad. ‘The stranger visiting Now Oricans should not noglect to see the cemeteries, which aro really objects of curi- osity and well worth the trouble of a caretul inspection, There are some half-dozen or so of them in the city aud as many more in the suburb.

Let me cite another instance illustrating the same fooling. At Athens, in the neighboring county of Clark, there took ~ @ few days ago, an olection by the freedmen of a delegate to attend a colored educational convention to meet in Macon, There were two candi- dates, Matt, Davis and Jim Bacon, the former prosenting himself as a conservative and the friend of the white mon of the South, and the tatter put forward as a radi- cal aud the antagonist of the white men in all. things, whether social or political, Matt, Davis was elected by an overwholming majority. No white man interfered. in the least and the dofeated candidate now em- phatically denies he is a radical or that he ever held 4 the sentiments which were imputod to him, Important Decision, .
