THE BURIAL OF ROUSSEAU. Harrowing Scenes at the Faneral=Pecue Narities of the Mode ef Burial—Universal Mourning in New Orleans—The Citizens Propose to Provide for the General’s Family. New ORLEans, Jan. 9, 1869. It was only with great reluctance that Mrs. Rous- sean consented to the burial of her gallant husband in New Orleans instead of in his native Kentucky. The universal wish of the people at last overcame her hesitation, and the brave Kentuckian lies in the State where his sisters have long resided and where his eldest son has taken up his home. Through strangely different ways two men widely diverging in. life have thus been brought together in death. Albert Sidney Johnson and Lovell 1. Rousseau lie almost side by side—the one bleeding voluntarily to death on the battle feild, the other struck down in the vigor of his strength by a neglected indigestion. The death of General Roussean was so sudden that the community seem hardly yet to realize it. In the hospitable ceremonies of New Year’s Day he took @conspicuous part with all the genial frank- ness herent to his nature. Three days afterwards he complained that the holidays had deranged his usual! lar habits; that he had eaten at Sncerthte Sines: tad Pisces, and some days not at juent was suffering from in peggy ht saline torn typos the “careateasd cous ~ it. His consciousni le took formal leave of his friends, and in his death displayed all those and noble attributes which had so conspicuously «marked his Ife. ‘The law courts, public offices and houses of business, were all closed this afternoon atthe hour of the funeral, Scarcely less than {0,000 people lined the streets which the cortége . islature, the ganization in tte ‘euty) d_ near: ait , and mn orders without distinction of sented.

Mr. Fisk seems to be as unlimited as boundless space itself in his vast and far-seeing alms and aspitations, Already the proud proprietor of the most magnificent opera house In the world—the most exquisitely finished Uttle theatre in the world, besides innumerable subsidiary railroads, steam- boats and lawsuits—he quietly and unexpectedly absorbs an opéra bouge company as calmly as. right whale sucks down a shoal of sardines. . In many respects Mr. Fisk is eminently fitted for the trying and delicate duties of an impresario. Possessed of a superb audacity, mixed with a suave courtesy and charming.vonhomie of manner, which makes him irresistible among the ladies, he is better fittea to cope with the idlosyncracies and pecu- harities' of prime donne than any musical director of our country. We think him equal even to tenors; but a season with Brignoll, that very zebra of tenors, could slone satisfactority settle that point. ‘The contracts of the opéra bowge company. which thas passed under the yoke‘ of Mr. Fisk, expire in July.
