CAPTURE OF NEW ORLEANS; The news so long and so anxiously waited fbr, of the capture of New-Orleans, says the Tribune, has come at last. Though it reaches as through Rebel sources, we see no reason to doubt its authenticity, as it is not likely that it would be announced in Petersburg- and Richmond journals, unless they had positive iuteliigence of its truth. The city opened for j its defense, not upon any fortifications within | its own limits,but upon the forts at a distance, 1 on the lakes lu the rear, end on the Missis- i iippi below it. These once passed, on either j side, the city must fall unrestingly before a ! sufficient force. This, without doubt, is the j fact, and New-Orleans is now neld by Union i troops. No city iu the world, of any commercial itu-! portaoce, is so defenseless, when once reached, | as New Orleans. It stretches along the left bank of the river for six or seven miles, on a ; narrow strip of laud, averaging only about two miles in width. In the rear the land sinks iuto merej-swamp, uninhabited and unin habitable. The city itself is lower than the bed of the river, and is protected frrrn over flow Ly a levee, a partly natural and partly artificial embankment. A fleet at anc! ?r be fore it is actually higher than the city itself, and commands it as if from an eminence.— A few hors' hbor, under the protection of the fleet, shonld there be any resistance, and should there be auv necessity of resorting to so desperate a measure, would pot New-Or leans a fathom or two deep, under the waters of the Mississippi. But it is not likely that the inhabitants have provoked auy such de struction, or that the loyal portiou of them would permit udj resistance that would invite it. The presence of the gunboats, overlook ing the city, has doubtless been quite suffi cient to insure a speedy and unconditional sur render. Whether the forts have been reduced or not, we do not yet know. If they have not, they doubtless will be speedily, for with the mouth of tho river below, and the city above in our possession, they may be let alone, if tbat shall be thought the best way,till those holding them are ready to ask perminpon to evacuate. Cut off from ail scccor they will not be able long to hoiu out as a forlorn hope. The key of the South-West is therefore ours, and the Rebel army, pressed upon from the North, add cut off from retreat and all hope of aid from where it, 110 doubt, calculated to make its last desperate stand, most soun seek for safty in disorganization, and return to obe dience and hope for pardon iu the obscurity of citizenship. Gen. BANKS telegrupbs from his eamp near Sparta that deserters and refugees corro borate previous reports, that Jackson, after flying from our advancing column on Friday last, pushed forward to a point one mile north of Harrisonburg, where a tarpike branches to t&e left, passing Magangheystown on the sooth fork of the Shenandoah and the Blue Ridge, and running theace to Gordonsville.— At an early hoar ou Saturday morning, Jack son, with his whole force auj train, took the Goi'dotjavilJwpike, and at lait accounts had re *cta^4gpcgheyßtowa, BEFORE. YORKTOWN. The people of Pennsylvania must not forget tbat we have fifty thousand soldiers before Yorktown. Fifty thousand men, and all from Pennsylvania, having their relations and their affections in every circle. Men who were not purchased or cajoled into the army—meu who voluntarily left their homes,sacrificing business and pleasures, that tbev might contribute to the success of the general cause. Thus the fa ther left the little ones to the charge and sup port of the mother—the elder' brother turned from the furrow is the field, hastening to the fight, while one yoaoger took Hp the labor at borne, and weut on with the work of produc tion. fifty Thousand. Afir* .' All from Pennsylvania, There is something grand and glorious in this fact, and something too tbat should Awaken the energy of ever? man in the state, that we may be prepared for the issue of that fight. For every man that tails there is another ready to take his plaee. We most prepare our homes for the reception of the wounded—and we mast prepare our devotions for any bereavement that is likely to follow the issne of tho impending fight at Yorktown. — Pennsylvania has more than a national exist ence and reputation at stake in this contest.— She has immortality to achieve. Tbat must be done at Yorktown. PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS IN THE GREAT BAT TLE AT PITTSBURG LANDING. —A lengthy and graphic account of the battle at Pittsburg Landing, published in the Cincinnati Gazelle, states that among the troops who participated in the battle of Pittsburg Landing on Monday, the th instant, were the Seventy seventh Pennsylvania Regiment, under command of Colonel Siambaugh. They originally belonged to General Negley's Pennsylvania Brigade.— On the field they formed part of a brigade commanded by Colonel Kirk, of the Thirty fourth Illinois Regiment, attached to General McCook's division. The body-guard of Gen. Baell, too consisting chiefly, if not entirely, of young meu from Philadelphia, participated iu the battle. x Pennsylvania was, therefore, represented in this great combat, as well as io nearly all the other conflicts of the war. From before York town we had a re port that, one of our boats on Thursday, com menced the shelling of Yorktown, She moved up to the mouth of Wormley'a Creek during the morning, opened a well directed fire on their work, which was promptly answered by the Rebels. The boat then fell back a dis tance of three miles from Yorktown, when she again opened fire, the shells exploding each time within tho enemy's works, but obtained no response. B&- Major General C. F. SMITH died at Savannah, Teon., cn Saturday afternoon, of dysentery. General SMITH was taken sick shortly after the occupation of Savannah by the forces under him, and bas been suffering and sinking slowly for some weeks, though his condition was not thought to be dangerous until the past week His family have been notified of his death, aod arc on their way to Savannah. 865" Gen. MCCI.ELLAN reports a brilliant dash agaiost oue of the Rebel works near Yorktown on Saturday morning by a company of a Massachusetts regiment. The capture of the work effected without any serious loss on our side. BODY SNATCHING IN BATAVIA. —Tho Batavia Spirit of the Times has the following : On Thursday morning last our quiet village was thrown iuio sudden consternation by the announcement that the grave of Mary Buchan an. an intelligent and estimable young lady, who was buried iu the cemetery on the first of March last, had been robbed and the body carried off. Her parents have long been resi dents here, and the young lady herself was well known and esteemed. Numbers of excited and citizens re paired to the burying ground to be convinced ui ike truth "f tb" report; and when the grave was opened the assertion proved to be too true. The body had been taken, and from the state of the clothes ill the coffin it was evident that they had been torn off the body by sacrilig i ious hands. A committee of citizens was soon formed to i investigate the outrage. This led to the ar rest, by Deputy Sheriff Hull, of a young med ical student of this place. Parts of a decayed ■ homan body were fouud in a box on the prem ises where he resides. The matter is to have a full and thorough judicial investigation, and inquiries will be continaed, and doubtless some further light will be thrown on the subject, w.b'ch at present it i' net policy to repeal. This dastardly outrage bas caused an. in tense excitement in our midst, and we are happy to state that it is the only occurrence of the kind that bus ever been brought to pub lic notice in Batavia. TAKING IT COOLLY.—A number of instances of personal daring are related characteristic of the troops, on both sides, in the lines at York town, During the first day's skirmish on onr right, two soldiers, one from Maine, the other from Georgia, posted ihenoselves each behind a tree, and indulged in snndrj shots, without i effect on either side, at the same time keeping up e. lively chat. Finally, tlmt getting tedious, Georgia calls oot to Maine," Give me a show," meaning step out and give on opportunity to hit. Maine, in response, pokes out his bead a few inches, and Georgia cracks away and misses. "Too high," says Maine. "Now give roe a show.'' Georgia pokes oot his head, aod Maine blazes away. " Too low," sings Geor gia. Finally, Maine sends a ball sons to gruze the tree within an inch or two of the ear of Georgia. " Cease ftrine," shonts Georgia.— " Cease it is," responds Maine. "Look here," says one, "we have carried on this business long enough for oue day. 'Spose we adjourn for ratious ?" " Agreed," says the other.— And so be two jaarcbed away io different directions, one whittling "Yarrkee Doodle," the other " Diiie " IDE IB FOB TIE ItNiOI. NEW WtLEMS TAKEN! THE SIEGE OF YORKTOWN.

The enemy passed FortJaeksou at four o'- clock yesterday morning. When the news reached New - Orleans the excitement was boundless. Martial law was put in full force, and business was completely suspended. All the cottou and steamboats, excepting such as were necessary to transport coin, am munition, &c , were destroyed. At or.e o'clock to day the operator bade us "good bye," saying that the enemy had ap peared before tbe city. | This is the last we know regarding the fall.

DESPATCH FROM GEN. McDOWELL HEADQUARTERS, ) DEPARTMENT or THE RAPPAHANNOCK, >■ April '27, 1862. ) HON. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War I have just returned from the camp opposite Fredricksburg. I was told the Richmond Examiner of the 26th had been received IU towu, announcing as follows ; NEW ORLEANS TAKEN. Great destruction of property, cotton and steamboats. Steamboats enough saved to take away the ammunition. Great conster nation of the inhabitants. IRVIN McDOWELL, Major General. IMPORTANT FROM YORKTOWN BEFORE YORKTOWN, April 25,18C2. The principal event yesterday worth men tioning was the shelling of Yoiktown by one of the gunboats. She moved up to tire mouth of Wonnley's Creek during the morning, open ing a well directed tire on their works, which was promptly answered by the Rebels. The boat then fell back a distance of three miles from Yorktown, when she again opened fire, the shells explodiug each time within the enemy's works, but obtained no response. . A few shots were fired during the day along the whole line, to keep the rebels from strength ening their works. No one was injured. It is raining again this morning, but the in dications ore that the weather will soon clear up. The object of the flag of truce sent to the enemy's lino on Tuesday, by order of Gen. Mc Clelian, was to affect an exchange of four rebel prisoners for a similar number cf our wounded in their hands, in order that they might be better cared for. The answer RIIOW ed that they were disposed to comply with the General's request, but the wouuded hud been sent to Ilichmoud. HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OP THE POTOMAC, ) CAMP WINFIELU SCOTT, April 26.11 a. m. f HON. E. M. STANTON, Secretary ol War : Early this morning an advanced lunette of the Rebels on this side of the Warwick, near its head, was carried by Co., 11. Ist Massachusetts Regiment. The work had a ditch six feet Jeep, with n strong parapet, and was manned by two companies of iufautry, no artillery. Our men troved over npon.soft ground some 600 yards ; recejved the fire of the rebels at 50 yards ; did not return it, but rushed over the ditch and parapets in the m fled in great haste, leav itig their knapsacks, blankets, and everything eke. The party then proceeded on foot to Pea Ridge, Tennessee, where they found three or four thousand rebels drawn up in line of bat tle, who, at the first fire of our artillery, also, decamped, leaving their tents, camp equipnge, private baggage, and even half-writteu letters, and other things, ind eating the completeness of the surprise. Enough tents were left to ac commodate a divisiou. Everything was burned. We captured twelve prisoners, none of whom expressed regret at being captured. They say the people South are getting sick of tbe war. The roads are improving fast. CAIRO, April 24. The rise in the Tennessee river has reached here. The Ohio has risen an inch and is still rising. Despatches from the Cumberland represent that the river is rapidly rising The country between here and Mound City is inundated, aud tbe entire track of the Cairo ar.d Fulton Railroad between Bird's Point and Chorlestou washed away and destroyed. General Bragg has transferred the command of Fort Pillow to General Price. From Pittsburg we have intelligence of a skirmish w'th the enemy, in which General Grargor, with five hundred cavalry participat ed, about two miles from our pickets. Onr fcrces came in contact with tbe rebel pickets and drove them in, and then encountered a strong force of rebel cavalry. After fighting for an hour, both sides retir ed. The loss was light. A tri weekly packet is now running from Cairo to Tiptonville. Mails und passengers from Cora Foote's flotilla, off Fort Wright, arrived here yesterday afternoon. There was no change in affairs. FROM GEN. BURNSIDE'S COMMAND. BALTIMORE, April 24. The Old Point boat has arrived, but brings no news of importance from Fortress Monroe and Yorktowu. Col Summers and Lieut. Cames came np this morning in the Old Point boat, having ar rived there about an hour before the boat left, in the steamer Cossack, from Newbern. They report that a Gght occurred on Tuesday of last week, near the canal locks, at Eiizubelb City, betwee i Col. Hawkins' regiment and a force of rebels. The latler were repulsed with con siderable loss. Our loss was estimated at fifty killed and wouuded Col. Hawkins was wounded in the right breast, und bis adjutant killed. This fight is said to heve taken place on Tuesday, hut it is, no doubt, the oue alluded to iu the rebel papers. It is aiso reported that Gen. Bornside had received proposals from the Governor ol North Carolina for the surrender of the State. ANOTiIF.iI ACCOUNT WASHINGTON, April 24. Cnpt. Catting, of Gen. Burnside's stuff, ar rived here yesterday with despatches to the Government. He states that Geo Reno com inanded the National forces at the late recon itoisance to Elizabeth Ci'y. Capt. Cutting saw Gen. Reno just before leaving the Sound, und I learned from him the following particu !ars of t lie affair : On Thur.-duy, the 17th inst., Gen. Rcco left Newbarn and proceeded to Roanoke Is land, from which place lie took about two thousand mea, and proceeded to Elizabeth City, where a strong rebel force was reported to tie entrenching themselves. On Saturday an advance was made upon the ret els The eu my opened fire with their a.- ttlltry as soon ns our troops made their ap pearance, and, from all appearances, thought they had us in a trap of our own making. Our troops immediately formed in line of battle, and charged on the euemy, who ran at tlie fir.-t fire. Our troops then took possession of the town, and after remaining there for a few hours, reliied to the main army. Our force was about two thousand men, un del* Gen Reno, and three boat howitzers, un der Col Howard The force of tbe r bels eon sisted of a Georgia regiment,numbering eleven hundred men. a portion of Wise's Legion, and two batteries of artillery. The enemy was to tally routed, with a loss of about sixty men Our loss is about twelve killed and forty eight wounded. Col. Hawkins, of the New Yoik Zouaves, received a slight flesh wound in the arm. The adjutant of Col. IJawkius' regiment was reported killed. Capt. Cutting reports the general health of the troop to be good, and says tbe weather is very fine, but ol course much warmer than in more Northern climates. The men have taken a strong fancy to the Southern climate, and enjoy therm-elves finely while off duty. The Rebel Colonel Ashby. Ashby—no disciplined soldier, pursuing no regular line of warfare, which is u part of a plan comprising different branches of service, infantry, cavalry and artillery—lias displayed , a skill and a genius in the management of his men which have made him in the estimation of this division no ordinary commander, lie has protected the retreat of Jackson most admira bly, and while, at one time, our advance were close upon hiro, he rode up the hill as quietly as any peaceful farmer on a market day. He is a great horseman, and always has been; and through these mountains and forests of the Shenandoah has ranged on horseback in ihe ! hunt of the fox and deer, and has often dis tinguished himself in the tournament, which is 1 among the still cherished practices of the Vir ! ginians, and I am told that while riding at the \ top of his speed he will throw his lance upon the ground and seize it again in passing with | the utmost dexterity. His horse, too, is dis -1 ciplined like his master to the accomplishment of the most wonderful feata. He will drop to the ground in a flash at the wish of his rider, and ri-e again as suddenly, bound through the woods like a deer, avoiding trees and branches, clearing every ob.-tacle, jumping fences or ditches with perfect ease. All who know him say he is a man of modest, quiet demeanor ; a silent man, who keeps his own counsel, and is held in the most fabulous regard by his men and inferior officers. He is said to be a Chris tian and a man of eminent piety, as is also his general, the Stonewall Jackson. Oftbelat ter's character, statements have beeu mude to me which sadly conflict with so favorable an opinion of him, but I must frankly express the degree cf respect which I have been led to entertain for the character of this non eommit al, dark, inscrutable AsLby.— N. Y. Wall. S&~ A Diamond Wedding Anniversary tcok place last week at Shutesbury, Mass. Asa Raymond and bis wife celebrated the seventy fifth anniversary of their wedding day '.y gath ering forty of their descendants around them. The husband is ninety-seven years old, and the wife ninety six, and their longest term of sepa ration has been a fortnight. Their oldest child is seventy-one, aod the youngest fifty-five years old. Oar Losses at the Pittsburg Battle. A correspondent of lite Philadelphia Press, writiug from tbe Tennessee buttle field, gives this estimate cf the casoaltit s of the action : No accurate list of the killed and wounded can be made for some time. Fiotnthe Itest authority I can gather, I judge our killed will amount to two thousand, and our wounded and missing to eight thousand more, of whom lour thousand or-flve thousand are prisoners. Some of the regiments which were badly cut up at Donelson will have to be disbanded. In one the Eleventh Illinois—there are only one hundred men left. Jn others all the field offi eers and most of the captains are killed. The Eighteenth Wisconsin Regiment was a raw regiment, recruited from the pineries, and eom posed of the hardiest and best of that cele hrated locality—men who hunt and trap all Winter, and woik in lumber mills oil Summer. They went into battle less than two weeks after leaving Milwaukie, 960 strong. Their colonel and major were killed and their lieu tenrnt colonel desperately wouoded. Out of seven captains who went into the fight, only one reuieius, and 580 men, sick and well, are all that now occupy their camp. The rest are killed, wounded, or prisoners. They were on the extreme left, and their great loss is owing to the fact that they would not fall back.— Their field officers were brave even to rashness, and the men would not fail them. Out of a company of seventy odd men in one of the Illinois regiments, only five men are left fit for duty. There are uiany such instances, all of which go to show the unflinching bravery and the unconquerable determination of our men. WORKING THE WlßES —General Mitchel, when he arrived at Decatur, A'abnma, is said to have quietly cut the railroad communication between Corinth and Richmond He however, kept up an active correspondence with both ends of the line ; tißw telling Jeff Davis, in the name of Beauregard, something that astonish ed hi in ; and then telling Beauregard, in the name ol Jeff. Davis, other things no less as tonishing. What secrets lie learned we are unable to tell, but the report goes that he promised Beauregard large reinforcements, and then marched his own forces directly to wards Corinth —iV. Y.
