There has been a farther decline in the bonds of the one million loan. From seventy eight they have dropped down to sixty nine, much to the disappointment of those holding them in the hope of an advance. The tableaus and parlor concert for the benefit of the Church ef the Annunciation, to be given at Eagle Hall on Monday night next the grand ball at the New Odd Fellows' Hall on the next night, the 10th, and the concert at the same place on the 12th inst, are the leading topics of conversation among the ladies of oar city, just now. rah spoliation Company. There was a meeting at the St.

Charles Hotel last night, called together by the request of the friends of Capt DeHaven's great steamboat enterprise. Dr. J. 8. Copes was called to the chair, and C.

O. Green elected Secretary. The object of the meeting was to devise means to build one or more steamers after Cart. DeHaven's plans, upon which risks would be taken by Western insurance companies at half the rates now charged the steamers to carry freights at one fourth the rates now charged, leaving a margin of 50 per cent, profit per annum on the capital invested. The meeting adjourned to meet to night, at 7Vfe o'clock, in parler St.

Charles HoteL i The Gov. Allen fob, Vickbbubg. The hosts of friends of that ajax of the river, to learn that he has succeeded in procuring the beautiful steamer Gov. Allen, to take the place of his lost favorite, the Gen. Quitman, in the Vicksborg trade.

The Allen is ome of the finest vessels on the Mississippi, and we congratulate Capt. Leathers upon having secured so admirable and desirable a substitute. That the Gov. Allen will soon, under the able management of her captain, rank as high in the estimation of the traveling public as the Quitman ever did, we entertain no doubt whatever. Shippers will bear in mind that the Allen will take freight for all points above Bayon Sara for 25 cents per barrel, and passengers will find no more delightful boat, to travel on.

See advertisement If a nun has anything in him that ought to come oat, let him take a trip to sea upon one of the small, narrow, high built steam propellers, which do the coasting trade at the North and in the Golf of Mexico. These vessels are perfectly safe, and make good passages, but they do an amount of rolling which mast be felt to be folly appreciated. In a chop sea they roll so rapidly that it is almost impossible to keep one's footing on their decks. We are afraid to say how many roll3 one of them, in which we recently had occasion to make a passage, completed in the space of thirty seconds. A eat having ven tuiedoaton deck, (this the skipper old us.) was thrown over as the ship lurched to star.

MR. CONWAY. The Eev. Mr. Conway has taxed our courtesy very severely in asking us to publish the letter, which appears elsewhere, in reply to the exposure, produced in these columns, by the officers of the 1st U.

S. Infantry, of his calumnies upon that regiment We bear the strain, and let him be heard. The press has advantages over individuals, and can afford to allow them to rail a little in reply, especially where they put in, as this personage does in the present case, what amounts in fact to a confession, of the charges upon him. He libeled the personal morals of honorable officers of the army, and charged them with whiskey drinking sympathy" and association with the worst men of the rebellion." For these offences, he wrote a private letter to Gen. Grant, asking the removal of' the regiment to some other quarters, "far away," and he seems to be wounded in his sense of honor that Gen.

Grant would not consider the letter as "private," but pro ceeded to make the inquisitions into Mr Con way's averments, which have exposed their untruthfulness, and now bring out the avowal of the paltry partisanship which prompted his underhand attempt to disgrace and injure Jthat regiment. His whole answer; in justification, is, that the officers of the regiment are, by common rumor, said to be conservative in politics, and opposed, in their private opinion, to the reconstruction policy of Congress. Com mon report accuses them of not being Rad icals, and therefore it was, as Mr. Conway says, that he secretly applied at headquarters to get them sent away, for a punish ment and therefore he threw in those little embellishments of personal scandal about their habits. We do not kno wwhea we have seen a more undisguised confession, in open court, of mean motives for an admitted libel.

Mr. Conway assumes that there are officers yet unnamed in this regiment to whom, being Radicals, as he supposes, his remarks do notjapply and he apologizes for the implication of them in the indefinite abuse of all the rest. We do not ask him to name the gentlemen, if any there be, in fact, who, in the regiment, fraternize with him in his libeling of their brother officers, and whom he believes capable of accepting bis apologies to them as sufficient atonement for the common wrong. There is, we think, a sufficient esprit' de corps to have this little sally set down as another insult. Without knowing in detail what the individual position of the officers of this regiment may be for none of them have busied themselves in the election canvass, as Radical generals, colonels and captains are doing everywhere else we have a right to say for them that they have done their duty here, faithfully and acceptably to all who reverence law and order and, we add, that it is one act for which Gen.

Grant de serves credit, that he turned his back so contemptuously on Parson Conway's pri vate tales against the regiment. Mr. Conway is entitled to the remedy at law, which he says he has applied for, in regard to the impeachments of his private conduct made by some of these irritated officers in the spirit of retort upon him. With those we have no disposition to meddle. It is a small stroke of artifice for him to suggest that there may be a threat covered under our bantering advice to him to pack up and leave.

He knows very well that he is personally as safe from harm here as in any church in which ever preached in his own circuiting about. We never doubted that he would stay, at least to the close of bis term in the office of Saperin. tendent of Public Education. It has a veiy liberal salary, and opportunities that are worth something to a bustling man, and there is a convenient and manageable Legislature, of his peculiar friends, before whom he Las preferred applications for large extra allowanees to make him more comfortable. With these pleasant surroundings he may well be believed in his saying that it is "a libel" to assert that he "has no interest in the State." None but a simpleton would suppose himxapable of quitting these good things, or that any man will surpass him in the effort to keep them and to get better.

We believe he may be fully trusted for that much interest in the prosperity and greatness of Louisiana. We also believe that his resignation would be very agreeable to the great masses of all the people of this State, and we include in this phrase a good many of the best members of his own political party. But resignation is not one of the Christian virtues he has cultivated. BP We were pleased to make the acquaintance, yesterday, of Mr. Henry Hosford, representing the firm of Hosford Sons, one of the largest and oldest houses in New York engaged in the manufacture of blank books and blanks, dealers in stationery, printers, lithographers, engravers, etc.

The firm was formerly Felt Hosford, long represented here by that favorite old house, Felt Sc. Stetson. Mr. Hosford was brought up to the business, in all its branches, and has established extensive business connections through oat the South and Southwest. He has just returned from a tour in Texas, and expresses himself highly pleased with the hospitable reception be met there.

THOMAS BACHBLOB. The sycle of death cuts down the young as well as the old. This noble man, stricken down in manhood's prime, filled every position with credit to a widowed mother and honor to himself. A high toned Southerner, he fought gallantly in the Confederate service, and struggled, with Spartan courage, to defend and sustain both family and country but a wise God has rewarded his efforts, by calling him from the troubles that surround the chivalry of the once Sunny South. When hi agonized mother misses the brave and gallant son, and will never hear his welcome footstep and merry voice, nor see hie noble form, that brightened each hour of hertjife, may she remember whom the gods love die early, and turn to her God, 'who chasteneth whom He loveth, and think of the great spirit that has passed the pale reals of shade to join the blest caravan that moves to the haven of eternal rest HIS FRIEND.

It Is advocated in every pulpit; Its promulgation Is the object of large and respectable social organizer tlons; It is made a side Issue, and sometimes a main issue, at the polls, and stringent laws axe enacted to enforce it In short, all parties, all creeds, all interests, unite in deprecating drunkenness, and the only question connected with it upon which they do not agree is as to the wisest method of controlling the eviL Prohibitory State legislation ha been thought by many sincere and good men to be the beat remedy but it has been tried again and again in Few England and elsewhere, without having produced any beneficial effects ex peeled from it and at last Massachusetts, S3 long the stronghold of prohibition, has repudiated that policy by an immense majority. Tho Federal Government partly in the interest of temperance, and partly for revenue purposes, has imposed a tax upon domestic liquors which. If the law were rigidly execnted, would at snce lessen their consumption and increase the sum total of tbe national revenue, but it appears to have signally failed in both these objects. There is ne perceptible decrease in the manufacture or eon sumption of domestic spirits, and no proportionate augmentation in the receipts of the Government, from that source.

Laws of this nature are always extensively evaded, and result in a large amount of official corruption and pubHo demoralization, without accomplishing the primary objects which their originators had in view. Experience see sis to teach us that moral influences are more potent than penal statutes in re straining this species ef excess. Father MatheWs moral and religious crusade against inebriety probably did more good than all the prohibitory laws that have ever been enacted. The extreme prohibitionists insist that alcohol bas ne uses as a medicine that it is, when taken into the stomach, necessarily poisonous. But here the faculty that has made disease and the remedies for disease its study for so many ages (Increasing its knowledge and perfecting its system of treatment with every passing year), meets tbe allegation with a point blank denial.

Who are best competent to decide this question, in which the health and lives of millions of human beings are involved the professors of the art of healing or Individuals who, confessedly, are Incompetent to prescribe for their own ailments, and who, when prostrated by Illness, place their chief reliance upon the doctor Does not the profession in whom, next to God, they put their trust in sick ness, know better than they do whether alcoholic tonics are or are not necessary la certain phases of disease? Common sense answers in the affirma tive. Physicians tell us that alcoholic medicines are among the most valuable remedial agents in the Materia Medlca specifics which cannot be dispensed with without sacrificing the health and lives of multitudes of their patients. If we put trust in them and that we put trust in them is evident, or we would not call them in to minister to us when in danger we are bound to subscribe to their dictum. So far, then, as medication is concerned, tbe object of the philanthropists who advocate temperance should be to aid the profession in its praiseworthy efforts to secure a pure, unadulterated alcoholic stimulant for curative aad preventive purposes. If any law could be devised for keep ng the unwholesome and impure liquors of commerce out of the sick room, it would be an nnap preciable blessing and if, on tbe other hand, a law guaranteeing a pure stimulant to all who are professionally declared to need it could be practically enforced, that too, would be of infinite benefit to mankind.

But no such special legislation could be rendered effective. It would be evaded, aiid rendered null and void by the interests in conflict with it, just as the liquor laws are now nullified by similar causes. But when as in the case, for example, of HOS TBTTER'S STOMACH BITTERS a medicinal stimulant lias been proved, beyond all cavil, to be absolutely free from adulteration, and a complete sped fie tor a large class ef diseases, no benevolent and enlightened friend of temperance can consistently lift up his voice against it. On the contrary, every proper effort should be made to procure the sub stitutionof such a tonic for the acrid, fiery and poisonous flu'ds too frequently administered to invalids. It should be a powerful argument in favor of a preparation like this, that it has been deprived by rectification, and by tbe medicinal vegetable ingredients of which it partly consists, of all the deleterious properties present in ordinary alcoholic stimulants, and which beget an unnatural craving for strong drink, thereby leading directly to intempeiance.

This, we say, should be a strong argument in its favor with all rational temperance men for since stimulants are medicines that cannot be dispensed with, it it manifestly all important to administer the best. As a recognized and standard tonic of undisputed purity HOSTETTER'S BITTERS may be cited as an apt Illustration of the use of siiruhlanta as con tasted witb their abuse. It is not intended as a beverage indeed, there are many varieties ot un. medicated alcohol which the man who loves strong drink for itself would prefer to the Bitters. No toper is partial to the article, for its effect when taken iu excess, is that of as emetic.

It is regarded as a medicine only, and is prescribed for the prevention and cure of sickness, and for nothing else. The temperance reader who has perused the foregoing remarks in a candid and Impartial spirit will see, we think, that tbe cause he has at heart, and which unfortunately has been greatly retarded in Us progress by intolerance and misconception, is likely to be benefited rather than retarded by the employment in medical practice of a wholesale Pharmaceutical Preparation, with a pure stimulative basis, instead of the abominable firewater more abominable than it ever was be fere) sold by liquor dealers and at tavern bars.
