t ;, r Grant in these Counties and Parishes ,to is ‘’National Unity.” Hooray ior 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. Mien! qvam minus est cum aliis versari qitam tui meminisse ! 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.
