Agreeable to the terms of urrender as printed ini our last issue, the Federal authorities have qaietly taken pouseseion of the Confederate States' established the headquarters of the Northern Division of Louisiana, at this place. The garrison is composed of a portion of the 13tl army corps, unuder the command of E. S. Dennis.

In performing this duty too mach praise cannot be accorded to the o'icers and men for the unaustentatious nmanner in which it a executid. lual praise is alike die them for their quiet and gentlemanly of our citiz51 and soldiers. By their conduct tLer have done much to relieve a people sure from defeat, and mipl.aced conufience in their former rulers.

When about sixteen milsc, below the city she was found to be in a sinking condition and several ineffectual attempts were made by her officers to land her before they succeeded. The scene is here represented to have beggared description as she sunk beneath the wrtet, carrying down with her at least one hundred souls.

It i therefore ordered; That all persons heretofore heli as slaves remali for the present with their former masters, and by their labor secure the crops of the present season.

The representative families of the late (onfederate States were prompt, upon the restoration of peace, in setting a good example for the whole people to follow. Laying aside their arms, the men at ouce returned to the plow, the woman to the distaff. Especially tis thei case in Virginia, where, not only good blood, but good practical sense was always to be found. The late abortive attempt at resolution she withstood longest and firmest; nor could she be drawn into it by any artifice, till, in the madnese of the hour, "the worse was made to appear the better reason." And then, with un-I doubted sioeerity on the part of the masses, she plunged into the vortex with a singleness of purpose and self sacrifice rarely recorded in history. Good old mother of States and of statesmen "Holding the bridges of war," as Homer would say, she was the first to return to peace, and is now first in the work ol regenteration.

Geueral Robert E. Lee and the numerous members of his famtily have returned to their old farms, and are now engaged in the genial work belonging thereto-turninig up the soil, preparing for the seed and the planting, I reaping bow blest the farincr's life And many other representatives families of the Old are following or setting the same good example, as, we are informed, are the through the State, tide-water, and mountain; and may (fie coming autumn bless; their labors with an harvest. The productions of Virginia are, beside tobacco, wheat, corn, rye. oats, potatoes-cereals, vegetablt-e, and especially fruits of every variety belonging to the temperate zone-the apple, pear, pluan, apricot, and grapes the most delicious, to say nothing of fields of newly mown of the greatest ricihness and variety for sustaining life and cheering thei heart of man. Wonderful change! Fields, whereon but a few months since tramped husts, never before marshaled in battle array, are now said to be green with the promise of a rich liarvest, while cattle undisturbed on her hundired hills, and the humble cottage sleeps quietly in the valley.

"Peatc hath her victories Not less renownlled than war." And the women of Virginia, they, too. but not last, have caught the blessed spirit of and and hourlyi are devoting tlthemselves to its "far holier works than up the downcast, soothing the the young, feeding the poor, and doing otrilr goodl of womran's hand, erve to the lou e-st serviet'a of the domestic household. They have been called proud, but the pride of Virginiatns in to he industrious and to do good, and nothing that man's or womian's hand can do to re-tore prosperity to their people or will be left undone. And so in the ('nrolinas and Georgia, we undertrand that the people, of every class and condition, are putting their hands to the plough, and doing all that can be done to restore their States to their fortier prosp'rity and abundance. The later close of the war therein.

especially it the Carolinas, wil, no doubt, operate materially against theta. As for Georgia, we are told, the early and apparently final withdrawal of the armlies therefrom, and petrhaps the per-nal presence and counsel of Alexa.ader Steplhen, renested confidence many montths ago, and caused the mases of the people to return to their peaceful avoctations. The staples of Georgia are rice, cotton, corn, sorghnum, and these crops, especially the cereals, were well gotton in, and promise well. Especially the rice of the Savannah bottom, the best and richest of the world, is well up and overflowed, and will go far towards supplying tie people with food, even if the wheat and corn crop: should fail. Tie clothing factories, also, a-e most of themn at work again, and will, before the winter sets in, provide the people with abundant raitment.

As for the west. Kentucky held on to the Union so irnmly from tie tierst, and Tennessee was, so early in the season, relieved from the presence of the cont. riding armies, that we have none but good accounts from that large portion of the soil, the last four years utitilied or disiurbed, has been restored to culti ation, and the people, ncec-ptine tie situationt. even the inevitable revolution in labor, hlie gone to work with will. The fall a ill not oniil see the people there amply provided for stiith the necessaries of life, bult, almost as in thl goodt old dayts of yore, with a surplus for shipment werewith to supply thetnelves iith contorts or even Isuries.

ith this, also. will begin tihe return the former prosperity of the river towns and the profits of legitimate and lueative trade therew ith. Everywhere, indeod, the people are quietly, and with their nell-known good seie, accepting the situation and returning to their ispeciaiyv that of agriculture. And this i- tie true source of their wealth and prosperity, that which once made our people and powerful, atins, perhaps, too rich and powerful for their own good. Under misguide counstels they for independence and dominion, not content ssitih that shiclh they under the- cot utintot lid laws olf our fi efatherts, and that has iein, for the lst foir.

disastrous years, their undin Poessed of the richest soil attl lenjoting the fine-t chmate in the world, with the most valuable they will quickly recover from it, and then, will enter upon a future, in common with the people of the Union, with which, in wealth, health and happiness, the past can searcely be (O Picayune. The Austin Gazette A shooting and cutting match came off on Saturday evenirng last, in this city, in which Joe.

It is said that tihe rea-on of the selection of that location for the purpose is, that salt water injures these vcssels by corrosilon, and that Philadelphia is the most available fresh-water port. Mrent Gaines, a ith a nitmher of lawIsrs, passed down the river yesterday on her way to New Orlieans, where she expectd, ultimately, to win the immense estate left by hil father, Dace iel Clark, and which has ibeen n. s- ai.e nutd tala ---dm I State Rights. Rip Van Winkle journalists, who, as to all expressed opinion, have indulged for a considerable time in profound somnolence, seem sarprised, when awakened to comment on the state iof national polities, to discover that, during their condition of torpor, the world has not stood still because deprived of their advice and interference. It was very impolite for the world to more and men to be stirring while old Rip snored.

When his eyes open to the changes which have meanwhile come upon society, be is a very much dissatisfied being. Nothing has gone right, in the view of such men, when then favorite theories have not been successful. A city cotemporary groans dismaly because the government of the United States has ehown that it really possesses the poter to sustain itself: It progoosticates evil because the people of the country are not disposed to see that power weakened, and have rejoiced at its full aeercise. IUndoubtedly "the tendency of the war h.s been to aggrandize the federal power;" for the purpose of the insurrection was to diminish tuat power. At the beginning oft ostilities the power of the federal government was and seriously It uas right to re-actlair that lost authority, no matter at wht expense If the States received detriment by the ftbort of the government to resume its rights, then the States were in the way of the Republic, and it was the tiest duty of those lawfully represnting the people of the United Sittes to take care "that the Republic received no detriment." 0' course.

States surtilred, and men saltilred, because they tirew themselves across the patil American progre's. No ilntellige.n citizen will deny that there are SState rights; that the State has ceritin distinct from those of the general govcernmei that the separate spheres of federal and stat, authority are fixed by the National constitution But that doctrma of state rights developed ni attempts at nullification and seers-ion, in the dogma that State cannot be coerced-the di-i integrating doctrine out of which iias come ci ii war-is as finally put down and irrevocable doomed as its pernicious character deserved. In it were the seeds of disiuiion. Attempts to it out of the pit of oblivion, arei bturlt tflly or pohlical wickedness. To revive a popular faith in it, is to tlster a spirit of discontent dange-rous to peace, inimical to loyalty.
