The clerk of the weather made a
sad mistake iu his reckoning this
spring. For some reason unaccounta-
ble to himself as well as to others, his
April showers were entirely over-
looked, aud about, the 10th of May
last, then it was he set himself about
correcting his mistake ; aud to make
up for the lost time he has from that-
time to date given us " free show-
ers" almost daily. The umbrella
vendors hud instituted a suit against
him, but the late showers moistened
their eyes and they relented. The
suit, has been withdrawn because it
does not suit the times. As the bus-
iness season draws to a close, the
town'begius to wear n more serious
and settled aspect—old familial
faces again predominate in the tlior
oughfares. , Strangers there, 'tis true,
but their numbers have materially
lessened during the past month
T^e hotels are yet full, butnot crowd
eds«s they were during the wintei
season.
During, the last eight months more
strangers have visited New Orleans,
than ever before in the same space of
time. Nothing of interest has occur
red here during tlx? last two weeks to
vary the monotony,Hf we except one
or tw fiVeB, at one of which five or six
people lost their lives; the elections
on the 7th; the Volksfest and Fe-
nian celebration, and a prize fight. A
difference of opinion seems to exist
lisre among the Presbyterians con-
cerning the use of stimulants during
the prevalence of cholera, one class
maintaining that they should bo used
in moderation, and anothor that tliey
sliould not be used at all. The opin-
ion of the first party seems to be in
the ascendency. Unadulterated
brandy is the kind recommended, aud
as Humbert's Cabinet Brandy is known
to be the purest in market, there is at
present quite a, rush for it. The
Agent, James Gpnegal, wholesale
druggist, No. 20 St. Charles streethas
his hands full, filling orders for this
favorite beverage. This enterprizing
druggist is also now offering the pub-
lic '' Gonegal's Cholera Specific," a
remedy prepared according to a pre-
scription which has been used with
tho greatest success iu Asia aud
Europe, since the cholera has pre
vailed in those countries. It is en
dorsed universally by the most emin
ent physicians on the Eastern Con
tinent. Should the cholera make its
appearance, the Specific will come in
to general use.
The street railroad is prevailing
here to an unheard of extent. At tin
last s:i% of street railroad stock, th
shares brought 201, and evei? this is
considered a safe investment, such i
the demand for this kind of stock
A street railroad has just boen put. in
operation from Canal street, along the
New Levee, to the French Orlean
Depot ; another on Carondelet
street, aud shortly others will
extend from Canal up St. Charles
street, and up New Levee, to the
stock landing. The truth is, the peo-
ple have got in tho way of riding, and
they now no longer walk if they can
help it. Even the sons and daughters
of Ham no longer walk, but crowd
the street cars from daylight till mid-
night; surely, we are getting to be a
fast people. The subject of building
a royal theatre on Canal street,which
will eclipse all others iu the South is
now being agitated. Iu fact, plans
ti>r the same are even now being pnn
posed, and- if no serious epidemio
puts a stop to a movement now on
foot, such a theatre will be. completed
iu time f or the next gay season.
A committee will soon leave New
OrleauH for the city of Mexico. It

amusement yet open arc still well
patronized, although the heat I

too much occupied with their crops to

irop, und Governor Hamilton met
acli other on (he stump, at George-
town, not long since. Hamilton
seemed to be in a gcod humor with
everybody, aud coiuplimeuted the
Colonel highly—-said he thought, his
life, liberty and property would lie se-

came to the helm of Government.
A number of Federal soldiers were
present at the discussiou, among the.

tion of Col. Jones and his glorious

tled and put them to thinking. Col.
Joiisb is to address the people of Bas-

ton, one of the candidates for District
Judge I am reliably informed, has
lately withdrawu. The friends of the
Col., they are numerous, are anxious
to run him for Attorney General of
the State Col. Walton has a strong
hold upo'h the affections of the people
of this part of the country, aud his
ability and honesty emiueutly quali

may aspire. The present candidates
in the field for Judge, are Judge Mc-
Farlaud, (the present incumbent) Col.
Ireland, of Scguin, aud Judge A. D.
McGinnis, of Bastrop.
There was considerable excitement
ill Seguin last Saturday. It was cur-
rently reported and bejieved that
Wngoner, the revenue Collector of
New Braunfe's, was coming to Seguiu
at the head of about 200 negroes from
New Beaunfels, to hoist a flag upon
tho court house. The citizens de-
termined to icsist. such a movement
iu the event it should be attempted.
They commenced firing oft' their old
muskets and pistols aud cleaning
them up, which excited the appie-
hensions of the Bureau of that place,
and induced liini to send his squad of
cavalry to arrest the-progress of the
negroes.* The soldiers met the no-
g.oes some two miles from town, c un
ii g on in military array, ai d checked
tin in until the Bureau himself ar-
r.ved.
They reported that the white Cap-
tain had not given them the flag.
Wagoner himself was not with them,
and ihey wcie not so numerous as
was at, first supposed. The. Bflrcirti
made them a talk and told them tli y
had no right to hoist a flag upon the
court house of Seguiu, and that such
nil attempt would probably have re-
sulted in the death of the last, one of
them, which last piece of informa-
tion made the blackamoor* show the
whites of their eyes. The negroes
are said to be organizing a military
company near camp Clark ou the Sun
Marcos river. Let the fools who in-
and he-sketches the shares so haud-
soiuely. But $5U0,000 to begin with.
The Couucils of those cities ought to
Iw tuote observant of their iuteresta,
and keep the odoupuutof Glenblythe
near them, as in him their fate is
barred up.
* Well, noting the variety of subjects
urgvu by Thotuas AiHeck, of Glen-
blythe, as involving great interest,
and to which he calls the attention of
the public, with the remiuder, that he
is going to Europe the 1st of June, A.
D. 1866, wo cannot see that we lose
mocli iu his going or staying, as there
is a leakage iu his suggestions that does
not comport well with the means and
the end lo be gaiued. We uro of the
admirers of bruin, but we must con-
fess that Thomas AiHeck of Glen-
blythe docs not meet our ideal, nor
rrt *«t sfv ws that he will supply our
farms with yeomen. When we pay

eminent services on his "beloved
State," and feel sensible that the com-
munity at large appreciates his geiti-
ty, he at one step, ascends to the
dignity ot Cadmus, n Captain
Smith, desiring to pi ice his name
high in the roll ot iniuc a-, one ot the
colonizers of a new £onth. We have
read of the Puritans going to Holland
and afterwards to imling New En-
gland, but from their religion and
notions of government they could not
recognize a leader. It wa& a multi-
ple. with o:ie idea, that ibuude l the

stances tut nislied by history, the* in-
dividuals at the head of colonization
schemes, enjoyed high social distinc-
tion, and pos.-cssed largt ly !h con-
fidence of their respective friends.
Indeed, we know of nothing <>f public
importance, writteu or unwiitteii.
that great character in the represen-
tative man, was not deemed indis-
pensable to success.
But. it. may be, that Thom-
as Affleck, of Glenblythe, gardener,
possesses thoso liigli traits that gave
fame to the founders of colonies, and
that the people'of his "beloved State"
don't see it. He may be like the stutue.
of Minerva, at Athens, that the high-
er he gets, the more apparent are the
great qualities of head and heart that
are generally attributed to that class
he aspires to mingle with. A statue
of Tliomus Affleck, in the Capitol
grounds of Texas, relieved by the ar-
tist's hand, aud ueutly arranging at
the base peaches, apples, and roses,
with an exact counterfeit ot Glen-
blythe, showing at once the origiu, oc-
cupation uud eventual fame of the
man, to stir up ambition in futureTex-
ians, is no small prize to covet. And
then to stand with nmrble hands and
look w kill marble eyes, ;uid be

ents, four or five centuries heiree—it.
is a sublime stretch of fancy, and we
should lie glad that we have i>m<>n0st.

Carlson and August Nellson,;
bora living on Brushy Creek in
liamson county, had a difficulty at
Carlson's house, which resulted in
the killing of Neilson, who was shot
through the head, causing instant
death. It seems there was an old
feud between the parties, dating back
to tho conscript laws during the war.
Neilson was a secessionist and was
uctive in liaviug Cation conscripted,
when the latter fled the country and
oined the 1st Texas U. S. cavalry,
whilst Nei.sou went into the jjepel
service. Since their return home the f
old quarrel has been renewed with
the fatal result above recorded. The
matter will uudergo investigation and
we forbear comment. <>
