The rebel force at liaadoti t h numbers, by the es-
Lim ate of their own party on the groyne, about.
1,500 Tir.y have two thirty-two pounders and
one large howitzer. The breastworks which they
have erected are, we are assured, a mere ridge of
wed and saud, insufficient to afford any resistance
to a cannon ball, or to efrad the slightest pro
+tenon to the for c es behind them. The natural
Iteength of this position renders it, however,
admit place to attack from the river.
Although the rebels represent that they have
1,500 men, several persons who have been ashore
there aver that they eannot, from the appearance,
believe there are more than three or four hundred,
Lad these are said to be a dirty, drunken set.
The Arkansas troops lately stationed at the hits
Uteri and Arkansas State line, have removed to
the Tennessee side of the river,
and are at present
about 610 strong, and stationed about a mile below
Randolph.
AtFort Barris there are said to be about 700
Imps; they are lodged in a narrow shanty, about
lit° feet long.
There are coma alight mud works there, and our

TII TILOCKADI OP NEW ORLEANS.
We find the following in the New Orleans Delta
o f the 20th ult.:
The United States steamer Brooklyn, Captain
Poore, having notified the authorities at the Baline
that a strict blockade of the mouth of the river had
been ordered, and that he was on band to render
the blockade tiftotive, was boarded yesterday, un
der a flag of truce, by the captains of several Bri
tish and Preach vessels now on the bar, and Capt.
Poore was naked if he intended to prevent the de
partur• of the vessels then on the bar, belonging
to Eoglish and French owners, and loaded with
freight for foreign ports. Poore declared that he
abould oortainly prevent their departure, or seize
them if they attempted to run the blockade. As
their ships are all heavily loaded with valuable
cargoes, including 2 000 hogsheads of tobacco,
el:tipped by the French consul on account of the
French Government, and several hundred on to
' oonnt of Rothchild' and other foreign houses, such
a decision naturally produced considerable excite
ment in this city. The British and French consuls
took the matter In hand, and by telegraph dinged
Capt. Poore to understand that they would not
permit such nonsense, and that the British and
French squadrons would be here in a few days. to
protect the iotonota of their Govaramosta The
SEAT OF WAR,
lad news frign the Balize was that Poore had
backed down, and the ships are all going out.

The Jefferson (eastern Texas) Herald, of the

The Paris Press has reliable information from
Col. Young, in command of the Texan expedition
to the forts in the Indian 'nations. On the 6th

had been evacuated, and was marching, with four

went on, however, declaring they would go to Col.

A gentleman who reached this city yuterday,

The United States troops having occupied Graf
ton, the people that left there when the Secession
ists made their foray upon the town, are now re•
turning to their homes, with *nth* eotitittecice.
Oat of the 400 votes polled in Orafton precinct, It
will be remembered that there was only Ono vote
for secession, so that the rebels were in an enemy's
conntry. Jim Neilson, the Secessionist, when he
fled from Fait mont, went to Prenty town, is Marion
county He was there arrested by a lot of Union
men, beaded byJohn B. Burditt, a member of the
late Richmond and also of the late Wheeling Con

as brave a roan as lives.
When the Beeemienlate left Grafton, a eampany
of cavalry stationed there Red to Pruntrown,
where they found Neeson under guard, and ins
m.diately ordered him released. They would, no
doubt, have made some •bostile demonstration
towards Borah*, who is meet sordially hated by
the whole mob, but that gentleman, not oaring to
risk hie safety against molt odds, very whet) , went
back to Grafton
At was generally understood at Grafton that the
United States troops whioh had started for that
Marie over the Northwestern Virginia Railroad
wauld, in consequence of the damage to the
bridges, return to Parkersburg, come to this eity
by steamer, and go out from here.
