I OR THK WILD IIIUTKR OF DEJ?R CEIGEK, EDITOR'S PREFACE Gentle reader, possess thy soul in patience while perusing these uncon nected chapters from life. It is true, you m-iy fail to seo the connection existing between them, but we can as sure you in advance that that discovery has been, made bv ourselves. The reason fur the want ol connection is tbatr the Liberal, IIeptjblioan cot being sufficiently endowed with -fuodi) to hire a professional storywriter, ' and haying no graduate to volunteer to fil tlegap, we were compelled as wo were behind our cotenjporaries) to do the best we could. In travail of soul We implored the Court Housf talent to come to our assistance, and to their everl?-stin credit be it said, they have nobly responded. Our agreement is that fori an occasic nal puff they will io turn write a chapter of our serial, said agreement to continue, and be in force as long as grass grows aul water tuns, CHAPTER I. That cy fugling female widow, Be dott, ex?rtel all the pm er of her maturid mind to capture the affect ious ot I arson Stiggias. While thus engage!, many envious glances vere cast at her by maneuvering minima, and eavious o'd maids, yet -he wnt 03 rtgirdlcss of rcnurks. Though to many her labor seemed a fruitless one, yet the end shewed that her master mind hud weighed well a'J t he ditfic allies tint miht moot her ind Ikt huperior genius enabled her to, overcome them. Tier motto wn, ' The end justifies the 'mean,' and, though .she often in the solitude of her cham ber condenned herself for many unwomanly acts, yet if she could lceotnplish her chef d'ouvre a matrimonial alliance with the line of Htiggins -her cup ol happiness would be filled to repletion. In hcr.case, as iu all other', fortune favored the bra ve, and afte r a pro tracted siege she capture! the fade flections of tliT parson, and possessed ;!.!n body and boots. The foregoing example shewing us as t does, what can be nccnuiplifdud by perseverencc, is of itself enough to coovinc'3 our readers that our o'er true tale " is not far fetched and we therefore present all the subscribers of the liti5'nt org in of. Polk County with the penning chapter of Piebild Slay a man in verity and in truth. 1 be festive young tilicum whom we thus without further circumlocution or redtopeism unveil to public gaze was about as cttltus as dirty faced bo yS rencrally are. He was possessed of '.nore than overage talent at the dinner tuble,forandlayin around promiscuous ly when work W3S going or, none but himself could be his parallel. T'i true ho was the possessor of g. eat educational advantages. A fu'V cole, giate course of six weeks Vu a log schoot-housc during which time by dint of hard application he had man aged to become so proficient that hi was able to spell h-u-tn-b-u-g with- out missing a letter nude him learned, yet, with all these advantages, his soul was possessed with a strange unrest, and his soaring genius would not per mit him to tie himself down to any quiet business. As the young crow which at the first growth of the pin teat hers locks fearfully dowu from his nest in the spruce tree unwilling yet anxious to trust himself alone, so the youthful " Pie" cast around him for a station in life fitted to his ability and genious. As his father was not the possessor ; of sufficient of this world's goods to make him a gentleman ho was com- E9S9D1 pelled to do something to make both ends meet. Wake cushn ma moke ilhhe memelone " was the motto of the Stay family, and from the most distant ancestor to the present nobly had it been lived up to. Our young hero found the world before him, and truly it seemed to him a world filled with! more kicks than ha'pence. In his perturbed stato of mind he went to his old adviser, the village blacksmith, and asked his advise as to what calling in his life he would adopt. Pulling his forelock down over his eyes with his forefinger and thumb and with a Voldrj6s8 unusaal ttfone of his adoles oence he began " Most grave atid rever end siegniour, the beams of the old Hul as they cast themselves upon me por tend much proruiso but, in the sci a futurer I 'think-1 see tril- ulatlon and woe." Here he took a long breath and continued, Vou have been a sort of a step father to tic. Oftcu have you given my j icket a good dusting for steiliug your anvil to assist in our village jubilees, yet I leel you can advise me as to my proper calling in life. I am despondent. I am nerv ous io, a word I am a "poor critter." My. son," the aged man began as he hid donw the hammer on the anvil, " I am glad to bo .the guide o your youthful footstfeps.

We have faithfully and pitiett!y en deavered to read ou:.-clvcs u p j0 the affairs of Louisiana so that wc might give our readers oiuc in! e'igent ic omnt of the condition Jf matters in that State?

Since the verv beginning f-f theivil war matters have been gor fron, oa,j t0 Wor0 tjJl now there is nhsolufe chaor aud utter confu sion in the city of .ew Orleans. The debt of the Stat'.- and city together anv ,nnt to aho,t $50,000,000, whi'e property Is assessed at a figure beyond 1 its real valu e and the tax is placed at S5on the 8100, oftentimes exceeding iu anmu ,it what can be realized for rent on the property taxed. Thero are two legislatures, two sets of State officers contending for recognition, and there is almost, civil war existing. Waumoth seems to be an unscrupulous and auda ciousad venturer, animated with the double intent of power and plunder Government troops are in possession tf the Capital. armotii is surrounded and sustained by a set of desporadocs. The party in opposition to Waumoth arc alleged to be under the leadership of the Custotr. -house officials, Casey, G. B. Packard, Charles Dillingham and ex Senator Kellogg. The imbrog lio extends to the Judicial, executive and legislative branches of the State Government, city and Federal officials, army officers, and citizens. The next movement, it is feared, will be a gener al riot in the city of New Orleans There is already a conflict between Federal and Stato authority, and tho probable result will be the declaration of martial law and tho appointment of military Governor to preserve order and secure quiet in the city of New Orleans.

But outside, from Forty fifth street to South Ferry , he numbers of which must be computed at hundreds of thousands. A more cordial personal tribute has seldom been rendered. The Common Cojr.cil. at the session on Monday last, had provided for a public testimonial on the pirt of the city. All day long the body of Mr. Greeley lay ia astute at the Governor's Room, under a charge of a committee of Aldermen aud Assistant Aldermen where it was visited by an immense throng of persons. The corpse, thou Jn not di-figured, appeared like the vrc. t journalist while living.

Bev.
