—The dispatches from New Orleans are indefinite as to Whether the Louisiana election li as resulted in a call for a State convention. That there is a majority of the votes actually cast fora convention no doubt is entertained, but the third section of the act of March 2,1 requires that a majority of all the registered voters shall vote on the question one way or tho other, and in that event a majority of that number calls a convention. —The refusal of Stanton to iesue artillery to Governor Swann has been repeated In his attempts to procure guns from the Government.

An erroneous idea seems to prevail that unless a majority of all registered vote for a convention that the election falls.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel. Elopement l*Ht«te JLife. One ot the most beautiful amt accomplished young ladles iu Toronto, Canada West, was Miss , a sterner the honorable postmaster general ot the Canadas. Her parents were peculiarly independent—if a fortune of several hundred thousand dollars would make them so—sad were, besides, highly connected. For the past fouror live years their daughter hae been in attendance upon a school in a neighboring city, where she has stored her mind with useful knowledge. During one of her visits to her home ia Toronto she met a young man about her own kg# tbe son of a prominent banker there. Having met, they loved, and having loved, their first impulse was to testify that love by wedding, as to tkem there seemed to be no reasonable objection. In the happiness of their new found affection they applied to the parents of the young lady for their consent to the unionno obstacle being interposed on the other side oC.the bouse. What was their dismay to meet with a positive, unequivocal refusal. The parents declared that such a connection could aevar take place; that although the young man bore an unexceptional character, be was the sea of a banker, and himself a banker, while they were people of quality. Bo prayers or entreaties on the part of the young, folks availed anything—they were Inexorable. They bad resolved that their daughter should many another—a lawyer of great wealth and at good blood, but one whom tbe young lady detested. Finding matters in this condition, the young couple did as many others have done before— resolved to elope. Although the young man was forbidden to enter tbe house, they managed to bold communication with other, and arranged ail tbe preliminaries. The young lady's parents gave a large party on tho eve of her departure tor her last term at the seminary where she had spent the latter years of her life. All tbe quality ot Toronto was present, among them the previously mentioned lawyer, destined by berpamu to w«d the heroine of our story. Dancing had commenced and the gayety was at its bight, when a servant banded a note to tbe belle of tbe party. Hastily excusing herself to tbe lawyer, to whom she waa engaged for the next set, she hurried to ber room, changed her clothes, and packing a few articles necessary for her journey, left the house and waa received in tbe arms of ber young lover. Together tbe two proceeded to a carriage not far off. drove to the railway station, embarked on board the car, and were soon speeding away to £i ngston. Arrived at that point, they loat no time, but, procuring the aid of a clergyman, were soon made one flesh. They were now joined together in bonds that no man can put asunder, and their minds were at last at rest. Taking tbe next train for the States, they crossed tbe border and came directly te this city, where they had friends. For a couple of weeks they remained among their friends here, evidently taking the greatest enjoyment in each other's society. They returned to Toronto on Saturday, and the husband will take his station once more behind his father’s counter. Ttee F#vc Pillow AfXnLr - A Cnx* fr#ns General N. to. Farrest. To the Editor of the New York Timet: A correspondent of the Times, wboee letter was published on tbe 25th instant, soya: "At the time of the capture of Fort Pillow by the rebel General Format, and the mas•acre of its entire garrison. General (then Colonel ) Lawrence woo in command of Fort Columbus, a point on the Mlaeiseippi river above Fort Pillow. General Forgo#, flashed with hit victory and bit murders, marched from Fort Pillow direct on Fort Columbus, notified Colonel Lawrence that the commander and garrison of Fort Pillow had been mast erred, informed him that he commanded 10JM0 troops and knew that be (Lawrence) had only 1,000, and ordered bun to surrender in one hour's time or he and bis command should share tbe fate which had been visited on the garrison at Fort Pillow." I have hitherto borne in silence these outrageous assaults upon my character an n man and a soldier, but a decent regard tar my o wn reputation, and a sense of duty to the brave gentlemen who fought under m» during Hie late war, will not permit me to remain silent any longer- I must therefore ask you to be pleated to allow me to say through the columns of the Times,, that tbe charge* made against flu by jour correspondent are utterly Mse, and that their falsity can be eerily demonstrated by proof winch i* within easy reach. # The official report of th* United State# officer commanding at Fort PUlow, and ti e testimony reported by the congrearional L vestlgating committee, of wbicn Vice-President Wade wa# chairman, show that the garrison constated of oniy about live hundred and eighty officers and men. Other proofe, which I can produce at any time, show that I caplurcci, and can account! for, more than three hundred, of these—sixty-live of them who We # hudly wounded, having been delivered by me to the officer commanding a United States irunhoat In the vicinity of the fort, and about two hundred and tilty. (an official descriptive list of whom is now iu this city in tbe possession of General Thomas Jordan,) having been turned over by me to General Polk, at Demopotts, Alabama. Of these captured men ninety were regular soldiers. Bor were the rest of tbe garrison all killed; for many at them effected their escape, while others were drowned Ca the attempt. It will thus be seen that the proportion of killed wae not greater than is usual m the case of so severe a fight, accompanied by a desperate assault and de-
fense.
These facts are known to the Government of the United States and acquit me, not only in the opinion of the President, Mr. Stanton and Judge Holt, but in that of Congress, of any violation of the rules of civilized warfore. Otherwise, I would have been long ago arrested and tried upon that charge. For my own part, conscious of my innocence and knowing full well that I have always waged war with tbe strictest regard to the usages of civilized nations, I have never shunned any investigation to which the Executive or Congress might subject my military conduct. As to the absurd charge that I marched against Columbus with 10,090 men and demanded its surrender, with the threat that I would, in the event of refusal, “massacre” its garrison, I have only to soy that I never was, during the war, within forty miles of Columbus. after Its evacuation by the confederates in 1862; and that the only troops which approached it at the time referred to, was a scouting party of less than loo mon; snd that the official report of General Lawrence himself utterly disproves your correspondent's statements.
