f the city is abandoned. Here and there stores are opened, machine shops are active, and labor incident to the public defence is pushed vigorously forward, even in the most exposed districts. Still many branches of ordinary business, and most of the residents are removed, because it would be foolhardy for those not impelled by special duty to remain. The Mills House and Charleston Hotel — those princely abodes of comfort and good cheer are closed; the Pavillion still invites the sojourner to its hospitable roof; most of the habitues of Hayne and parts of Meeting and King streets abandoned the merchant's desk for the camp, or transferred their wares to points secure from Yankee guns.--That part of the city to which the cowardly vengeance of the toe has not penetrated is "a map of busy life" The newspapers, post office, express office, banks, and many business houses are in successful operation, and streets present a scene of animation not at all suggestive of a state of siege.

t from the above extract where Daniel Webster himself would have been found in the present contest. "I urge you, gentlemen of the South, to go among your people and beg them to accede to the demand on the part of the North.--They are resolved on it, and unless the South yields the country is ruined." What "country" is ruined? The United States.--The destruction of the grand Republic was, in the eyes of Daniel Webster, the greatest of earthly calamities. The grand peroration of his reply to Hayne, of South Carolina, in which he prayed that his dying eyes might never look upon States "dissevered, discordant, and belligerent." spoke the deep feelings of his ardent and powerful nature. He worshipped the Stars of the Union as the Persian worships the Sun, and believed in his inmost soul that when they disappeared from the horizon all Liberty and Light would disappear from the Universe. Like all Northern men, he was a Consolidations, the head and front of consolidation, and, the i

nfederate prisoners in his works, under the fire of our batteries. We have no occasion to fire on his works. All we want is to stop his dastardly war upon our women and children by making his comrades participate in the danger. In this policy we hope our Government will persevere, not only at Charleston, but everywhere else, wherever a defenseless town, the destruction of which can have no effect upon the issue of military operations, may be subjected to the Yankee fire. When Rawdon hung Hayne, in the old Revolution, every officer in Greene's army went forward and requested the General to retaliate, declaring their own readiness to undergo every risk that might arise from the act. We are sure that our own officers would, without a moment's hesitation, agree to encounter any danger that might arise from an attempt to put an end to the infernal system which has been adopted by the Yankees with respect to Charleston. At any rate, we hope our Government will stand firm, and we feel a

The Louisiana Legislature. New Orleans, December 6. --The Louisiana House of Representatives passed the Senate resolution against the recognition of Hayne and Cutter as United States Senators. Special committee reported a bill against the Constitution of 1864, and presented a bill for the calling of a convention on the fourth of January. Governor Wells sent a message that he would be inaugurated at three o'clock this afternoon. He failed to attend on account of indisposition. Randall Hunt was elected United States Senator. The other Senator will be elected on Friday. Mr. Haler, a permanent lawyer, and personally acquainted with the state of affairs on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, has arrived in this city. He is of opinion that the liberal coalition is a failure. The receipts of cotton at Shreveport are falling off in consequence of the scarcity of the staple.
