Notes at New Orleans.

Prince Edward Islanders, like Lrishmen, may be found on nearly every mountain peak and swawp of the universe, One of them ‘‘tripped up” in this city, a few weeks ago, and wishing to inform his countrymea that little P, E. Island is represented on the sunny shores of the Mexican Gulf, con- cluded to do 80 by sending you a few notes from the Ureseent City.

Strolling under orange trees, in the

to bronze your complexion, is a sensation |s0 new to one who has been but secently |transplanted from an ice-bound region, ' that he feels like throwing up his hat in the ‘air, and giving vent to his appreciation of the weather by an enthusiasticjand pro- | longed yell. New Orleans is indeed a igarden of delight. The green trees and the |glow and warmth of a tropical winter, | affects one like enchantment.

| New Orleans is a city with an interesting uasoey. From 1762 to 1803, France and ‘Spain were alternately its possessors. Ila the latter year, Napoleon, who was then preparing to rush into war with England, and saw that it would be sure to fall into their hands, sold it to the United States for twenty million dollars. New Orleans thus became a city of the Union befcre France became an Empire, thereby escapitg many tribulations, and securing a prosperity which, notwithstanding wars, floods and epidemics, has increased to a -city of 250,000 inhabitants, with nearly 600 wiles of streets.

Strolling through its dingy streets, with their little French, Spanish and Chinese shops, the odd architecture, the sound of divers tongues, and the unique customs of ihe people, one might well believe him- self in a foreign city.

As a key to Southern commerce, the im- portance of New Orleans is supreme. No other American city has so great an annual export. Her magnificent harbor, formed by a bend in the Mississippi River, is crowded with ships from every port. Here, as elscwhere, ‘' Brittania rules the wave,” Three-fourths of the vessels in port float the Union Jack. Standing on the levee, or wharf, which extends for eight miles on either side of the river, the eye sees nothing but bales of cotton, awaiting transportation to France or England, and barrels of molas- ses and sugar for domestic ports. During the past year nearly one and a half millio bales of cottou were exported to foreign markeis.

Seventy one years ago this month, occurr- ed the battle of New Orleans, in which the brave,though unfortunate English General, Sir Edward Pakenham, was killed. In the late rebellion New Orleans was the scone of the most exciting naval contest of the war. There is little in modern history more thrilling than that six days conflict, with its perils of fire and flood, its thunder of can- non and bursting of bombs.

Among. the many piaces of interest in the old time city is Jackson Square, in which is erected a very fine statue of “Old Hickory,’ Gen. Jackson's, Statues of Gen. Lee and Henry Olay adorn the public thoroughfares. Another place of interest is the Congo Square. Here transpired the ancient bull fights—a Spanish importation which a Christian civilization happily has blotted out. The old Spyish forts and the old French Cathedral are also historioal re- minders of days gone by.

New Orleans is the home of that haughty and cultured people, the Crevles. Fin- ancially in ruins, through the losses entailed upon them by the war of the rebellion, they represent the past history ‘f Louisiania. Those that remain are but relics of that age of chivalrous manhoud in the South, before the civil war, with its attendant evils of confiscation and carpet- baggers, subdued and humiliated a lofty- minded but generous race.

The Great American Exposition, whose main purpose is to create closer commer- cial relations with the Latin-American countries, and to bring the psople of the two continents into closer intercourse, though far from being a financial saccess. is nevertheless an exhibition of science and art never equalled in America

Ovr provincial eyes were dazzled, espe- cially at the display of South American products and skill, for we were always led to believe, by our Yankee cousins, that the little republics to the south of us, were too busily engaged in planning revolutions to find time to cultivate the arts and sciences

LETTERS To THE EDITOR.

A Complaint.

Sixr,—The laws of ovr country are litile cared for, and less respected ; for respect- able people cannot enter the post offive here without being subjected to the insulting language, and sullen stare of men, intoxi- cated by liquor sold on the premises. Some times the post office is the scene of wrangling and disorder. How long is this condition of things to last? Trniy, the state of the country is deplorable. Go along the Georgetown Road, at Mill View, and entera forge on the left-hand side of the road, aud after looking round within, you behold a seemingly useless oid stove and tool box, which, when examined, are discovered to bea safes in which are de- pusited the fiery fluid forsale. Now, the public here would like to know what is your opinion of this state of affairs and they would also like to see you denource it, through the columns of your highiy esteemed journal.

I remain yours, &c.,
