Vresz. SATURDAY, MAY 3, HU THE LATEST WAR NEWS Southern papers, received yesterday, contain some further intelligence from New Orleans. Com modore Farragut had arranged terms of capitula ttoß with Mayor Menree, and t h e city at latest accounts was held by a battalion of marines from the squadron. General Butler's force was within a few miles of the city, having landed on Lake Porehartyain. Captains Illaintosh and Huger, commanding rebel gunboats, are supposed to have been wounded. Commodore Hollins could not have been at New Orleans at the time of its capture, for we learn that while passing through Columbia, South Carolina, on his way to Richmond, he was "amazed" that such an event should happen, stating that, from the preparations made to resist our forces, he considered the defences impregnable. The best harbor in North Carolina, and a most excellent base of operations, is now in the undis turbed possession of General Burnside, the guns of Port Macon havin g boon silenced, and IFa garrison made prisoners by that indsfatigable officer. Beaufort is connected by railroad with Goldsboro', Raleigh. and Greensboro', the last named ono of the most important points on the southward rail road communications of the rebels. From the energy of General Burnside, we may safely predi cate that his campaign in North Caroline will be alike creditable and brief. On Wednesday, several of General McClellan's batteries opened fire on the rebel works at York town and Gloucester and their shipping. The rebels replied and the cannonading was kept up for some time. The damage done the enemy is not known. Nobody on our side was hurt. in the midst of an interminable discussion as to whether General SMITH was intoxicated or not on the occasion of that un forttmato and inamplinahla affair at Lau 2 s mills_ Mr. Representative MORRILL'S very proper in quiry suggested it, and every officer in General SMITH'S division seems disposed to continue the investigation. The proper course would be to await the result of the Congressional in quiry, or such a court martial as General Mc- Cistaax may be disposed to order. This newspaper evidence can only have the effect of embarrassing the historians, and will never be properly comAllered until it comes up for dis cussion in the sleepy deliberations of some future antiquarian society. It is very import ant that some judguicut should bc attained in this matter. So far as the individual case of this officer is concerned, we have very little feeling, but we are anxious that some action should be taken on the subject of intoxication among our soldiers. We have little doubt Gen. SMITH has completely proved his in noceilce. Any entailer inquiry can only strengthen the position ho has assumed. We need nothing more than the frank avowal of Mr. MOitanat, in the House, during the debate of yesterday—an avowal creditable alike to his candor and his courage. Gen. S3trries own letter Mean nothing, and he alight as well have left it unwritten. Injured innocence never appears to more advantage than by dig nified silence, and the impetuosity of our gal ant commander appears to poor advantage in the sober lines of newspaper type. We are too much disposed to ridicule what is called the temperance feeling, it may be that the friends of temperance have invited criticism and contempt. It is the fate of most reforms that they come to us in a shape to be laughed at. SOME of Mao most a m us i ng caricatures and satires we have seen have been upon just and necessary change s i n state and society.. liudibras is. an exquisu., travesty upon an English reformation. The sarcasms were deserved, yet the reforma tion was an advantage to civilization, No class of men were more laughed at than the early patriots of the American Revolu tion, and while we must say that many of their proceedings wore very amuaang, it does not interfere with our reverence for their name and our respect for the great work they accom plialted_ Our present eommen-school system was the subject of many a jest when in con templation. The ridicule heaped upon FUL- TON and Firmn is one of the saddest circum stances in our history, and Many excellent gentlemen are still living among us who pro tested in terms of laughable indignation, against the intreductien of gas into our streets and houses. The temperance peeple have given us a number of juvenile socie. ties, and make annual parades with banners, wreaths, sashes, open Bibles, cakes, and foun tains, giving a great deal of trouble to the po licemen, the coachmen, and anxious mothers. They have given us an obsolete law, and a number of pretty speeches, but beyond this their deliberations and declamations have been fruitless. The relation which the case of General SMITH bears to the subject of temperance is simply this It will reopen the agitation of that reform upon a grander scale than it has hitherto occupied. It will not be confined to societies of foolish old men and mischievous little boys. senates and armies and the great people will have a voice in this discussion. We have already had the expression of a very decided opinion - upon temperance in the army by distinguished Senators. In Mr. Mortarm.'s resolution we have this opinion personally ap plied. If we can ,judge by common report, some of the rejections of the present Senate have been on account of the intemperate habits of the candidate for confirmation, In this we see an accumulating sentiment in fa vor of temperance. It is gathering force and power day by day. We see it in the respect which Congress pays to even a suggestion of intemperance. We see it in the anxious haste manifested by such men •as General KETES, not to speak of captains, staff officers ; and newspaper correspondents, to rush into print with the expression of their opinions as to the sobriety of the accused General. We see it ig the manifestoes and testimonies of every general assembly - and church convention. More than all, are see it in the increased mo rality of our people, and the less frequent oc currence of riot, bloodshed, and bacchanalian festivities. There are many causes for this change of sentiment—for this reformatory progress, if the phrase is more expressive. We do not attribute it to the uncouth eloquence of Mr. Gounn, cr the superficial rhetoric of Mr. CHAPIN, however popular, and pleasing they may be. Nor do we attribute it to the legis lation of other States, or any anticipated legislation in the State of Pennsylvania. Social customs are not made by law. Our tastes and fashions do not come from the statute•book. There was as much whisky drank in Maine and Massachusetts after NEAL Dow's liquor law had been passed as there was before—with this difference, however, that the liquor sold during the prohibition was inferior in quality and superior in price. The history of the world shows the utter folly of attempting to control habits by laws. When the effort is made it becomes persecution. We must attain social reforms by educating and convincing the public mind. The tax bill is a greater temperance orator than Mr. GOUGH, Mr. CHEEVER, Mr. CIIAMDEBS, Or Mr. CHAPIN. It compels economy ; and when our extra cash is called for by our Government we must reduce the wine bill which it has heretofore paid. The war is a great tempe rance agency. A million of Americans, now -in arms, will 'return to their homes, hardened, toughened, temperate men, with new blood in their veins and lustier sinews in their limbs. • The simple, rugged camp life, the weary march, the picket watch before death-bur dened batteries, the midnight bivouac—all teach the soldier the virtue of abstemiousness. the most temperate soldier le the moot for midable foeman. lie fights well and endures great hardships. The dissipated soldier gene frilly commences his campaign in a hospital and ends it in a grave. We are not temperance men in the gene rally-understood sense of the term ; that is to say, we do not appreciate the arguments of those who would make the signing of the pledge a test of citizenship, and banish our social beverages from the earth. A glass of good wine is a harmless thing, pleasant, in spiring, and delicious. Moderately enjoyed, it is as innocent as coffee, and as cheering as the cup that never inebriates. Wine, as the slave of man, serves a good purpose, and need not be disdained. Man, as the slave of wine, s pitiable, helpless, and criminal_ We almost surrender our judgment when we think upon the _misery inflicted, by this joyous but treacher ous master, upon those unfortunate enough to become his slaves. We shudder at the idea of an American general going into battle in an intoxicated frenzy. 'lf slaves to this pernicious habit are permitted to lead our armies, there will be charges more bloody than the charge of the Light Brigade, and disasters more dreadful than any we have yet encountered. Asa military reform, therefore, we welcome the temperance agitation. As a social reform, it may be premature and unne cessary, for we are reforming ourselves ra pidly. LETTER FRomi ”OIL;CASIONA.L.• 'WASHINGTON, May 2, 1862 What do you think of the printed and un answerable proofs of rebel barbarity and DM , . sacre—mother, with your husband and sons in the ranks of the Union army fighting for freedom—sister, with the image or your ab sent brother ever before you--whlte.liaired father, watching the progress and seconding the sacrifices of your boys There is no es caping either fact or evidence. The Union prisoner shot like a felon or starved like a dog—the Union lady insulted and robbed— the Irialeta oflieer abused to his flied by his former companion-in-arms—and, above all, and worse than all, the Union wounded muti lated and butchered until death Cattle to their relief, and the Union dead hacked, boiled, and burned, their skulls used for drinking cups, and their bones for drumsticks and fin ger-rings. What think you of Ole, father mo ther, sister ? As you peruse these sickening de tails, and reflect that probably your dearest and nearest may be among4lhe nest to endure these almost nameless horrors, do not forget that the authors are not negroes, nor Indians, nor Se poysi nor even cannibals, but white men—the chivalry, the refinement, the gentility of the South. These monstrous excesses aro not confined to Virginia, her battle-fields, and her rebel leaders, They are everywhere common to the Great Treason. The very last intelli gence from New Orleans, on the authority of Commodore Farragut, the leader of our victorious fleet, is to the effect that help less women and children were fired upon by armed men e; for giving expression to their pleasure at witnessing the old flag." Nor, while reading these terrible lessens, shonld we ever lose sight of the great truth that the rebell;.n was began by the tr..; that they refused all proffers of peace or coin pron.ise—that when Congress almost unani mously g ave them new assurances and gua_ rantees—the Republicans themselves juining in the pledge—these new assurances and gua rantees were rejected, and that they opened, as they have maintained the campaign, with every possible perfidy and crime. I do not belong to the class who regard emancipation as the cure for our national evils but he who contemplates the unfolded record of the last year cannot deny to himself that the ingrati tude and treftehery, the brutality and blood= shed, that have made this rebellion the shame of our race, have resulted from the pride, ar rogance, and power, instilled inte the 0444 of ambitious men by the institution of slavery. And we can estimate how much more powerful ten or twenty years of peace would have left them, had they not, in the blindness of their malignity, precipitated a conflict at the present time with the Federal GOYernment. As Isis, though they are rapid ly being crushed out, they have proved them selves most formidable adversaries. They must tweept the logic of the war, whether that Comes in the shape of the liberation of their own slaves, by their own acts, or their bitter punishment by the national authorities. The intelligent people of the Loyal States, who have doubtless read the de tails set forth in the report of the Com mittee on the Conduct of the War, cannot hereafter patiently listen to the . appeals of those partisans who, prior to the publication of that report, delighted in exhibiting a certain sympathy for the traitors, and an un coneealed disposition to embarrass the Ad ministration in conducting the war nor will the relatives and friends or these people, now in the Union army, tolerate the intrigues and misrepresentations of these partisans. It will lso be a somewhat difficult thi ng t,, convince our countrymen that the most stringent measures of confiscation and punishment should not at once be adopted Vengress. The conspirators, now convicted of new atro- cities in addition to the outrages already proved upon them, must not be suffered to escape the doom they - so welt deserve. It will be a great hardship if the nnofferiding people of the free States are made to bear the burdens of the conflict, as welt those pre_ sent as those which, are to come, and that the rebels should be comparatively relieved in their persons and their estates.

If this is done, the Southern monopoly- will be ended forever. They seem determined to cc kill the goose that laid the golden egg."
