It is these fruit uiai have carried mourntag iuto nenrly every loyal lamiiy in tne land. allandiham and Democrats of his stripe may rejoice over snob fruits, but to loyal citizens they are exceedingly bitter and unpalatable, and it will be some years before they will desire another crop. South Bend Rtgider. Opposed to Free Homestead. The passage of the Homestead I ill w ill destroy our 'iice of public revenue, which has been impoitant heretofore, and which would have teen important hereafter, upon the return ot a prosperous coniiition of tne cor.iiirr, nan n oe-n leu pntisiurncu. i 1.1 If. , - . lF I hough we might have asenied to the princpie an.i poucy oi a nomeMeaa mil in ; former years, when other sources of revenue were .txple Tat the wants of the gov'rnmcnt, we sboold seriously question the pol'cy of it now, when the public c radii needs all the b isi it cm have to stand upon, and when the niot enormous direct taxation i impending to lorrjlv the treasury. B.t we have always doubted the wisdom of the priuciple of free landf. C7 it i go Times. Of course it does. It "doubts" the "wisdom" of anything that has the prefix free to it. It oe'ieves only in the "wis dom' and divinity of Slavery, and ia de j voted specially to aiding tlie secession master in keeping his loyal bondmen in ' servitude. Nothing for the poor white t man, .nd everything for the aristocratic ; slaveholder, is the maxim of that secession sheet. The passage of the Homestead bill; so far from "destroying public revenue," a alleged, will largely increase it. The Government, lot years, has derived veiy I little income irom the sale of public lands j parctd out the unoccupied ut the unoccupied National i ( domain in nn.rter t-ections to landless men, aud the increase of production and consnmption of dutiable goods, and the addition to taxable property that will thereby follow, will add to the public in. come dollars where dimes would otherwJ9e be obtained, besides commerce of the country enhancing tie and promoting the ceneral welfare. The slaveholders have always opposed the Homestead measure, becauso it wovdd benefit the laboring class, and tend to elevate the "mud sills" to a posit iin of pecuniary independence. The secession print although sucking its living from the sweat of the poor man's brow, advocates the interests of their enemies. The wonder is that any laboring man is so wanting in self respect as to patronize or countenance that treacherous, snakey sheet.

i the river we saw people on horseback, ri a - - - - - m 7i ding to and fro in great histe, telling th . news of our advance. The telegraph wire was cut every few miles, but the people of New Orleans were warned early of our success at the fort, and were piepariag for us. As we advanced up the river, the plan tations spread thomsolves out in great beauty; the negroes left their labor and i came to the levee, and seemed in ccstacies at our advan'-ing movement. In tome places thtji demonstrations were truly ludicrous; they tr.ssed their hats in the air, bowed, courtesied and showed by every possible means their joy At 3 o'clock we were ofT Point La Hache. It had been reported to us that tie river banks were lined with latteries, but wc fouud no trace of anything in the I battery line.

By the time we had dropped asleep the order came to up anchor, bnt it was not until half past 5 o' clock that we were all under way. As we steamed along we found that our fire rafts were live large ships with full cargoes of cotton, and thty were nearly consumed.

At a quarter of eleven wc discovered ta-o works, known as tho Chalmette Batteries, one on each side of the river. One, I should judge, contained ten and the other eight guns. The signal was immediately given to prepare for battle. Kofiag was flying on either work, nor did they 4oi'jf one at any time.

The smoke of the ruins of i millions worth of cotton and shipping at times half concealed the people.
