At Vicksburg, Miss.j-tsrvcral days ago a cull far a meeting of tlie former soldiers of tlie Union and Con ft. del ate armies was published, stating that the purpose was to foster and encour age kindly relations between the sol diers of the late war and to form a bond’of mutual friendship and good feeling. Bevoral preliminary meetings were held, and were attended by rep resentatives" of both ''armies, those of the Union army residents of this city being nearly equal-ill number to those fe'e' {JoUfedefate army. At a meeting last night the hotly formed itself into an association to be known ns the or der of Blues and Grays.

The difficulties that are found in growing potatoes, together with the high price of flour, suggests the ques tion whether the value of Indian corn and. its pt-Gper' preparation as food for liumuu beings, is well understood. Chemical analysis shows that corn is rich in the elements that- nourish the bod}-, while practical exper enee in some instances, seems to throw a a doubt upon its. wholesoineness. The truth is, that while com is full of ivatrition, it is not practically very nutritious.- This seeminginccngruity js easily explained. That portion of the kernel which is hard and flinty, is saturated- with an oil- wliioh is not expelled iu the process of cooking, and which is an element most difficult for- the stomach- to digest. Thus, while the elements of nutrition are in tea' com; there is so-mueh vital ener gy wasted in adapfiugit to the wanfcf of tlie system; that the loss is- nearly ; ^neli equal to the'p^oht?.’ Is it the will of’ the people of the This oil, which makes coni so- diffi- .

Corn meal and hominy,- may j ’ oerV) . alJ d' ground into the dust? be readily and thoroughly cooked in twenty miuutes, either bv. boilirg or baking.

Longstreet as their hireling eommander, might eri- f.iree any measure of outrage npoii the people. On the fourteenthj thousands of the citizens of New Orieans idet^at the Clay statue, passed' resolutions de claring KdHogg an usurper, and re questing him to vacate the Executive office. He declined to receive the committee. Mutual threats were made. Afterwards 0, B. Penn, who was elected Lieut’. Gjvernoi iu 1872 on the McEuery ticket, issued a procla mation assuming the’gubernatorial office, "amt appointing officers to oi'-i ganize the militia. Only a short time elapsed before armed . meu were sta- tloued at the crossings of : the princi pal streets. Five hundred police ap peared under Gen. Longstreet with artillery at I he head of Canal street, and took position. A fire was open ed from both sides aud about fifty people killed and wounded; but the' p iliee were soon driven awiiy and due piece artillery captured by Penn’s mi litia* ' In tbe memHime President Grant is sued a proclamation ordering all dis orderly persons to disband and go to their homes. The United States troops quietly held possession of the custom house. Tufesday morning about ten thou sand of the Pehn militia soon captur ed the State House, and all the State and city properly was soon in their hauds. The police surrendered, and the coup <le dal was complete. From all parts of the State come congratulations and ailuouhcemeuts that the movement to oust tue usur per Was a complete success; and, ex cept iu’New Orleans, a bloodless, vic- tory. The negro did hoit appear in tlie scene us ; eitliei . aero martyr. He-and his rignts :are more proieeted by the new regime than the old, and no excesses were committed by'the victors. ' Kellogg, Longstreet and other lead- ing scaliiwags ’took refuge in the Cus tom House, and the working of the State government under Lieut. Gov. Pehn, went on quietly. Gov. Penn sent a dispatch to President Grant announcing the result of the move- mi hi,' ‘ and containing expressions of loyalty to the general government. The suddenness and snebess of this grand uprising c f the people in their might to secure the overthrow of ilie usurpation, shdws that it had been qnietly and thoroughly organized be forehand! It is so Ffehchy in its conception, that only the nobleness and order of its execution pronounces i t to belong to the Southern States of North America. ■'We:beiievS the people of Louisiana areih'tiie right, and our heart is with them. May the God of "Peace and War smile on them, and deliver them from the vengeance of the dictator at Washington. We care not what the Radicals of the North may think when we' ’are right? Let 'our people raise their voices in prayer for the de liverance of-Lonisitina. The Federal troops cheered the Penn militia! Thursday dispatches from New Or leans report all quiet. The peopje have resumed their usual avocations. Thonsands of people in all parts of the Union sympathise with the move ment. Little idea can be formed of the robbery and spoliation to which the people have been subjected by the Kellogg government The President of the United States, however, will uphold the usurper, and bus telegraphed Gen.

He feels that his part}- friends, tlie thieves and adventurers who have so same men, it has been as sedulously proclaimed that the cotton crop would certainly be short But the corn has invariably been short, and tne cotton hipped out-,’ How . is that for cu rious? The ue v regime was inaugurated one year ago, and shouts rent the air when orators promised ah early jnbi- lee.for five dollars. And’ hoary Shy- locks were seen in the near future trembling and stammering at the judgment bar of “another Daniel. And the sweet voices of Minerva and Ceres were heard o'n : the air singing “Harvest Home.” And old Kill Cotton tossed dollars in the air like a juggler in a side show tossing-little balls'.’ Ah’d : the large girl with the cornucopia sat near the door of every man’s fiir chstle.

Dr. Mary Walker is a strange prod uct of our late war—a strange product' both of its physical and theoretical excitements. Pnripg the; war Mary found her way to Castle Thunder; rin Richmon d, and had a pretty hard time of it. The worst thing they did to Mnry iu that lovelyprisou was to force her to doff her unmentionables "and 1 don the emblematic petticoat of her sex. At first Mary wept, tlien sue waxed wrathy, and finally fell into into love, and quietude. At last, in 1861 she was liberated, obtained - n new pair of pantaloons, and in' the position. of a martyr to patriotism, stalked the smooth and broad paVe of Pennsylvania avenue, to the amuse ment of the crowd of idle brigadiers- jjincl rColonels who ornamented tlie Unification of the Universities. Some thirster after fame has con ceived the idea of the unification of the various colleges in the State, in# king each One a department of the University of Georgia. Many; secular papers seem to pounce on the idea- as something grand. We can see' no good to" result froih.iit,4-fbr besides increasing the burden of taxation for their support, each denomination, we presume, would rather have the entire control of its own institutions! Sep arate, as they are, one cannot make encroachments on another, no causes for dispute can arise, and many un pleasant quarrels and much bickering are avoided Our idea is that men of different views get along better when- separate. We hope the chnrchesand the col- leges will be kept out of politics,— and we deprecate the introduction - of a political issue in which their inter ests are involved.. Should j the civil rights bill become a law, and it will, let 110 tax money go’into these col leges, and they will be exempt from its: provisions. This last is a. strong; point.
