The followinp correspondence, taken from
The Richmond JCngriinr, of yesterday, which
city it re:iehcd ly telegraph, was to-day
received at the War Department. The cor
respondence is between tho Mayor of New
Orlean and Flag-OUicer Farragut t

Orr New Oklkanr, April 20, 1802. )
Ti hin KjveUvnty, the Mayor (if the City of
2fcid Orhann.
Sir: Upon my arrival before your city, I
had the honor to send to your Honor Capt.
Bailey, U. 8. N., second iu commulid of the
expedition, to demand of you the surrender
of New Orleans to inn, as the representative
of the Government of tho United States.
Capt. Baily reported the result of an inter
view with yourself and the military authori
ties. It must occur to your Honor that it
is not within the province of a naval ollicer
to assume the duties of a military com
mandant. I came here to reduce New
Orleans to obedience to the laws of, nnd to
vindicate the oltended majesty of the Gov
ernment of tho United States. The rlidits
of persons aud property shall be secured.
I therefore demand of you, as its repre
sentative, tho unqualified surrender of the
city, and that the emblem ot the sovereignty
of the United States be hoisted over the
City Hall, Mint, and Custom-IIouso by
meridian this day, and all flags and other
emblems of sovereignty other than this of
the United States lie removed from all tho
public buildings by that hour. 1 particu
larly request that you shall exercise your
authority to quell eLUturbancea, restore order, !
j ,i , 4. i c '
ana can upon an tne good peopra oi jcw
Orleans to return ut onco to their vocations.
and I particularly demand that no person
shall bo molested in person, property, or
sentiments of loyalty to their Government.
I shall speedily and severely punish any
person or persons who shall commit such
outrages us were witnessed yesterday by
armed men Crinrr upon helpless women and
children for pivinK expression to their

1 have in council with the City Fatliera
comuticrud tlm demaud you Tnade of me
yesterday of an uiieo.utitional surrender of
the city, coupled with a requisition to hoist
the flat; of the United Slates on the public
udiliccs, ar.d haul down lint Ha' that t
ll.iats upi'ii the breeze from the dome of this
Hall. Il becomes tny duty to transmit, to
you an answer which is the universal senti-
j incut ot my constituent, no less than tin;
I prompting of my own heart, dictates to me
on tltis sad and solemn occasion. The city
Ms without the means of defense, and is
utterly destitute ol the tone ami material
that liii.'clit enable it to resist an ovcqovcr
insf armament displayed in si;rht of it.
1 am no military nisiu, and posstss no
authority beyond that of executing the
municipal laws of the City of New Orleans,
it would be presumptuous in me to attempt
. i i .. .. i . ii, .i t.i ;i-1
to lead an armv to the held, it I had one ut '
command ; and I know still less how to sur
render n undefended place, held, as this is,

mortiir. To Ritrreniler such ft olaee ere
un idle and unmeaning ceremony.
The citv is vours by the
power ot hrutal
force, not by my choice or the consent of its
inhabitants. It is for you to determine what
will be the fate that awaits here. As to
hoisting any Mag of our own adoption aud
allegiance, let me say to you that the man
lives not in our midst whose hand and heart
would not be paralyzed at the mere thought
of such an act. Nor could I find in my
entire constituency so desperate and wretch
ed a renriradc as would dare to profane with
his hand the sacred emblem of our aspira
tions. j
Sir, you have manifested sentiments which
would "become one engaged iu a better cause
than that to which you have devoted your
sword. I doubt not that they spring front
a noble though deluded nature, and I know
how to appreciate the emotion which in
spired them. You have a gallant people to
administrate during your occupancy of this
eity a people sensitive to all that can in
the least all'eet their dignity and self-respect.
Pray, Sir, do not fail to regard their suscep
tibilities. The obligations which I shall
assume iu their name shall be religiously
complied with. You may trust their honor,
though you might not count on their sub
mission to u men ted wrong.
In conclusion, I beg you to understand
that the people of New Orleans, while unable
to resist your force, do not allow themselves
to be insulted by the intcrfcre-nee of such as
have rendered themselves odious and con
temptible by their dastardly desertion of

Mr. tleorgc Catlin, the famous painter
and investigator of the habits and customs
of Indian tribe, has recently published a
pamphlet, entitled "The l'rcafli of Life," in
which he undertakes to demonstrate that
the common practice of breathing through
the mouth is very detrimental to health.
He says that it is not a natural habit, for
-..1 ! ...1 11. 1 l . 1
! 'u-.i v,o. erea, ea ma, , ue on.ai.ie .
breath of hie into man s nostrils," and why
should he not continue to live by breathing
in the name manner ? The mouth was made
for the reception and mastication of food for
. , , . ,
the stomach and other purposes; but
.. 1 ' .
the
no-trils. with their delicate nnd fibrous
linings for purifying and warming the air in
its passage, have been mysteriously con-.
Btructcd, and designed to stand guard over
the lungs, to measure the air and equalio
its draft during the hours of repose. The
atmosphere is nowhere pure enough for
man's breathing until it has passed this
mysterious refining process, nnd therefore
the imprudence and danger of admitting it
in an unnatural way, in double quantities,
upon the lungs, and charged with the sur
rounding epidemics or contagious infections
of he moment. The impurities of the mo
ment, the impurities of the air which are
arrested by the intri. a'e organization and
mucus in the uni-e, are thrown out nguin
from its interior barriers by the returning
breath. The air which enters the lungs is
as different from that which enters the
nostrils as distilled water is different from
the water iu an ordinary cistern and frog
pond.
He argues that the habit of sleeping with
open mouth is particularly hurtful: points
out a number ot discastt which are trace
able to this cause, aud among the rest,
ascribes the early decay of teeth to it.
