Rough and ready. The New Orleans papers pay a just tribute to Mr. Taylor, the only son of "Old Zack," who is one of the most prominent, efficient and practical friends of the Southern cause in the Louisiana Legislature. Gen. Davis, the President of the Southern Confederacy, married a daughter of the old Chief, and it will be remembered had some tart correspondence with Gen. Scott whilst Gen. Davis was Secretary of War. The old warrior of "Lundy's Lane̴ has not always set that exemplary example of official subordination to superiors which he is now so rigidly enforcing, and, consequently, has involved himself in several "paper wars," in which he was badly damaged, exposing himself to a fire in the rear, and not responding very briskly to the fire in the front. The sword, in his hand, is much mightier than the pen. We are glad to see "Old Rough and Ready" still in the field, even though it be only in the persons of his family, for wherever his blood flows there must of necessity
A just Preposition. We trust that the Peace Congress, now in session at Washington, will not fail in demanding security for the future, also to obtain indemnity for the past. If there is a proper disposition on the part of the Republican States to pursue a righteous course for the future, they cannot better manifest the sincerity of their change of heart than by undoing, as far as in them lies, the evil which they have done. It will be remembered that Zaccheus in the Gospel, declared that, if he had wronged any man, he restored four-fold, but we do not ask the Republicans to come up to the standard of morality even of this Publican. If they will restore the fair valuation of every negro who has been stolen from the slave States, we will be satisfied. Or suppose we compromise upon half! Even a quarter would be better than none. The Scripture system, inspired by Divine Wisdom, accepts no penitence as sincere which does not make restitution. When the thief confesses his theft

The other parties being put on trial and found guilty.--Cavenagh was fined $10 and McCorson $5, with costs, and ordered to 30 days imprisonment, and thereafter until said fine be paid. In the case of John Hagan, indicted for abusing officer Seal while in the discharge of his duty, a rule was awarded against J. Callahan, J. Wright, and Dr. Picot, his witnesses, for non- attendance. In the case of Henry Flowers, for misdemeanor, a rule was awarded against Michael Fleming, a recusant witness, returnable forthwith. Oliver Crosmore, indicted for misdemeanor, gave $200 bail for his appearance at the next term, with R. M. Lowry as bailsman; in a similar case, Jno. McDonough gave $150 bail for his appearance — Peter McCabe, security. The Grand Jury (save Wm. S. Donnan,) appeared, and being sent out of Court,
Joseph Wrenn (search for this): article 18
Joseph Wrenn, a lad, hailing from the Monumental City, was apprehended at an early hour yesterday morning in the lower part of the city by officer Seal, on the charge of appropriating to his own use and behoof, a two dollar and twenty-five cent umbrella, the property, goods, and effects of Mr. G. A. Farrar. The owner discocasionally "hooked" in out of the way places and brought before the Recorder for playing their tricks on two-legged gudgeons. The umbrella was standing alone, and Wrenn being a youth "infinite in faculties" chose to adopt it. He did wrong, but there being no special felonious intent apparent, the Recorder chose to let Wrenn out ofged gudgeons. The umbrella was standing alone, and Wrenn being a youth "infinite in faculties" chose to adopt it. He did wrong, but there being no special felonious intent apparent, the Recorder chose to let Wrenn out of his cage with an admonition, and the "early bird" evaporated with a salam of thanks of appropriate magnitude.

expenses incurred by holding the present session of the General Assembly and State Convention. --The meeting hereafter was fixed at 11 o'clock A. M. An invitation was extended to the members of the Convention to occupy the privileged seats in the hall of the House. A number of resolutions were offered, viz: Of extending the time of the payment of the revenue by the Sheriffs due March 15th; of increasing the minimum rate of compensation to teachers of indigent children to ten cents per day, and of authorizing County Courts to fix and regulate annually the rates of Ordinary keepers in the Commonwealth.
