Salvos of artillery were beard from several parts of the city, and every "cologne of vantage," from which the Louisiana and Confederate States flags could be displayed, was improved for that purpose.

The city presented the appearance of day of jubilee-- of universal holiday. A large and enthusiastic meeting of native Virginians was held at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, last Friday night.

The bells all over town were set to ringing, and kept up a joyous din of long and loud peals. Our Superior Court was in session, but Judge Bull, on receiving the news, promptly adjourned the Court.--Soon the loud-mouthed cannon was brought out, and a salute of eight guns were fired in honor of the event — His Honor Judge Bull firing off the first one! Everybody was filled with rejoiciJudge Bull firing off the first one! Everybody was filled with rejoicing that no one tried to conceal.--Even those who lately were "indifferent" about the admission of the border States--or, perhaps, opposed to it --soon caught the uncontrollable fire of joyous delight at the event, and joined as heartily as any one in the demonstrations of enthusiasm. The greatest outbursts of enthusiasm, however, occurred at night. The streets were illumined with the lurid light of numerous rockets. The boys well night exhausted the supply of torpedoes in the city. Firew

wning event of the secession movement — it unites the South. But how could it have been otherwise? The noble old mother never faltered yet in the performance of a duty; it is too late for her to do so now. Rich as she is in deeds that are writ upon the brightest pages of history, this last work of duty and patriotism surpasses them all.
