National Unity ! E Pluribus Unum!
'“Society” is coming out wonderfully
j ()r ; ts Winter campaign. The “Grecian
jknd” has been mitigated of its asperi
t;,,s. so that it is now rather a gentle, and,
u pQn the whole, inviting protuberance,
tl ; al , u bend at all; and, in its stead, as
Hi,, next fashionable folly, comes the
fold. This is a peculiar manner
|f wearing a green, blue, crimson, or
.•urnle plaid shawl, whereby one end is
wrapped around the body, and the other
p rou <dit up and thrown carelessly over the
li ft shoulder where it is fastened by a
brootTi or pin. The dress is pretty
enough; but Heavens! the laces that
peer above it. Why can’t somebody re
construct those women ? Would, oh !
would that Madame llachel, or some other
Madame, would make them beautiful
forever. As it is, ninety-nine in the hun
dred, are fearsome to look on. They
have, as a ruie, good complexions, but
that is about all. The soft, speaking eye,
the patrician lip, the gentle curve, from
the dainty chiu to the swan like neck; in
one word, that look which makes the
Southern beauty seem half lily, half
Angel, and half rose, are wholly lacking.

Some time since, the tendency of
amusements here was toward something
more decent than the Black Crook and
White Fawn School, but the “superior
civilization” seems to have gallantly
gotten over its temporary squeamishness,
and, in the latest developments of opera
bouffe, enormities are acted and sung that
would not have been out of place in the
orgies of Nero. French wickedness, how-,
ever, unlike any other kind of naughti
ness, is, sometimes, so very funny that
one cannot but laugh at it, and yet the
moment you have laughed, a recollection
of how very bad the thing is makes you
hall angry with yourself lor having even
seemed to give il countenance by a smile.
Luckily however, so few understand the
language of these Op eras, that they do
much less damage than they might.
Throughout them are many beautiful
airs, sweet, natural, and touching, and it
set ms a pity such pure gems could not
have a better setting than gangrened
brass. Tyrone Powers.
NEW ORLEANS (LA) CORRESPONDENCE
OF THE BANNER OF THE SOUTH.
New Orleans, Nov. 24th, 1868.
Banner ot the South :
Among the useful citizens of New Or
leans this day, it were hard to point out
a couple more distinguished than the two
Reverend brothers, Cornelius and Jere
miali Moynihan. The monuments of zeal
and industry already erected by each of
these brothers, in the shape of Churches,
Convents, and School houses, in the
First and Third Districts, surpass those
of any other individual Priests in the
city, and even rival those of some of the
Communities, such as the Redeptorists,
Laz irists, Jesuits, etc, In many personal
characteristics they are as “like as twins”
—and indeed they may be “that same”
for ail your correspondent knows to the
contrary. In the whole densely 7 popula
ted part of the city lying between their
two residences—a distance of about
three miles—l doubt if two persons can
be found combining so much of the sua
viler inmodo, fortiter in re , as exists in
these brothers.
Not content with past achievements,
bather Jere, as his fond parishioners fa
miliarly call him, is now transporting his
old church of St. John the Baptist from
ibyades to Hercules Street; and on the
o=d site he purposes erecting an elegant
new church, of about 180 by 7 65 feet in
dimensions, with proportionate height,
and a most imposing belfry. According
to the design, it promises to be the
grandest church editice yet built in this
latitude. As the two brothers are noted
for their zealous rivalry in trying to get
ahead of each other in good works, the
Catholic community look with some cu
riosity to see the Rev. Father Corny’s
next move, to prevent himself from being
check-mated.
On Tuesday last, 17th inst, the Lazar-
Order sustained another serious loss in
die death of the Reverend James 11.
batman, 0. M. This youthful Priest was
raised and educated here, and had endear
ed himseif to thousands by his unvarying
cheerfulness, and his childlike innocence - ,
and simplicity of manner, lie had suf-
W'red for a long time with an affection of
dm lungs, and, finally, breathed out his
bmt happy sigh within the walls of the
Hotel Dieu, surrounded by the afflicted
daughters of St. Vincent, to whom he
bad so often ministered spiritual consola
tion.
t On Wednesday morning, he was
buried from St. Joseph’s Church, with all
possible solemnity, the .High Mass of
Requiem being offered by the Rev. Thos.
Smith, C.M., and an eloquent Address
delivered to the sorrowing multitude in
attendance, by (he Venerable Abbe
Porche. The Church, in every part, was
crowded to suffocation. In the Sanctuary
were nearly forty Priests, while others,
with well trained, sonorous voices,
detailed to assist the Choir in the Organ
loft. Amongst the Congregation, were to
be seen more than twenty Sisters of
Charity, who came from all parts of the
city to assist at these last sad rites, in
honor of the zealous, young Priest, who
had spent his life as an energetic collabo
rator in their works of Charity. Bequi
eseat in pace !
I he slight frosts, and fine, dry weather
of late, have greatly improved the yield
of the Sugar Canes; and the largest
calculations of the crop now promise to
be more than fulfilled. The prices have
already fallen considerably, but the aggre
gate value of the crop will still be such
as to pay off much of the planters’ in
debtedness, and enable them to cultivate
more extensively next year.
1 he Cotton crop, also, notwithstanding
the ravages of worms, and other draw
backs, affords a most gratifying result;
and, with improving prospects for steady
and reliable labor in the future, the whole
planting.interest is more buoyant and
hopeful than it has been at any other
time in the past three years.
As an evidence of returning confidence,
I may mention that several costly and
magnificent Plantations, that have been a
drug upon the Real Estate market ever
since the war, have lately found pur
chasers at very satisfactory prices; and
the demand for similar places is quite
brisk.
In the City, all branches of Commerce
have received a grateful impetus from the
amount of money thrown into circulation
by the sales of the incoming crops; and
an unaccustomed glow of cheerfulness
consequently pervades the community.
Os Scalawags, thank God, our State
never produced any but a very diminu
tive crop—although the few that did
spring up, like other poisonous weeds,
effected immense mischief. Os Carpet-
Baggers, we are now happily free, there
being no more public plunder in imme
diate reach; and, as for the poor Ne
groes, whom the Yankees insult by calling
them their “ brothers”—they are be
having as well as their best friends, their
former owners, could wish; so that, all
things considered, I see no reason why
we may not anticipate a reasonably merry
Christmas, and a very happy New Year,
to follow the late hard times.
