SAD EVENTS IN New ORLEANs.-Genfle-
men from New Orleans, inform us, that
murders, duels, and suicides, are events OF
daily and nightly occurrence. The follow
ing from the N. o. True American of the
4th instant leaves no doubt as to the most
melancholy condition of things


New Orleans for some days past has
been the scene of melancholy transac-
tons. Never, in the same space oil time,
were committed so many murders and sui
ciies. On Friday, while a man was under
going the sentence of the law for the crime
OF murder, another WIS committing a sim-

a singular coincidence of motives and pub
lie compassion was strongly excite by the
suicide of two sons hearing the fatal news
OF the decease ofthoir respective mothers.


On Monday two murders were perpetrat-

tortnros of remorse for a deed unprc-
meditated, or recoiling before the horror
Of a disgraceful end, snatched himself from
the risk Of undergoing capital punishment

mitage, has found that he has not the public
treasury at his command, nor a salary of
$25 900 per annnm. "There is no pres
sure," says the Globe, "which any honest
man should regret" Whatwll the old he,

following paragraph from the New York
Star:


A draft for $4,000 drawn by Andrew
jackson, President Of the U.States de facto.
in this city, was, as we understand, protest
ed for n6n-paymcnt The Old General
probably expected to receive 10 cents for
his cotton, and so valued upon his factor
