Governor Allen, of Louisiana, recognizing the powerful and beneficial influences of the press, has imported paper enough to keep them all going for a year and exempted all the printers from State service. The late Major-General John H. Morgan was an Alabamian. He was born in Huntsville in 1825. His parents moved to Kentucky when he was six years old. The Council of State of North Carolina, which met in Raleigh on Thursday, the 5th instant, refused to convene the General Assembly in extra session. Commander Loon Smith, who was the hero of the naval affair at Galveston, has gone to Europe, from whence it is expected he will make his appearance in a Confederate cruiser. An exchange thinks there is "trouble brewing" at the North. It's not only brewing — it's already "on draft." The Charlotte (North Carolina) Democrat states that sorghum molasses is selling there for five dollars per gallon. The hog crop in Georgia this year is very heavy. An Imperial French decree declares the herring and mackerel fisheries henceforth free.
