THE CAPTURE OF HEW ORLEANS.
Aim°wits Prom Rebel Sources.
FORTRESS 31.0NR0Z7 April 29.—A
flag of truce came from Norfolk to
day and brought down the wife and
family of Parson Brownlow ' and
also Afra. a - ay - 14rd, the wife of the
Concresstitan. The party consisted
&four ladies, - two gentlemen and
six children, all from Tennessee.—
They bring a report that all the
Union fami li es in Tennessee have been
ordered by ft proclamation to leave
within 36 hours.
Eighteen ,hundred men left for
Icentucky . a 'Ntreek ago .on Friday.—
Of a party of nine hundred, attempt
ing to leave, one hundred had been
killed. '
There can be no doubt of the cap
ture of New Orleans. The newspa
pers speak of it in the most dismal
style, and demand that the mystery
of the surrender of the city shall be
explained.
The-Day Book's editorial says that
the fall .of New Orleans is by far the
most serious reverse of the war.—
It' suggests future privation to all
classes of society, but the most to
.be lamented of all, it threatens the
army •supplies.
The raising of meat and bread, in
stead of cotton and tobacco, is earn
estly recommended by the disconso
late editor.
The Richmond Dispatch, of yes
terday, says that when the enemy's
fleet arrived apposite the city, and
demanded the surrender, General
Lovell refused, and fell back to
Camp Ware. ' After destroying the
cotton and thacco, the iron-clad
vessel. Mississippi was burnt, to pre
vent her from falling into the hands
of the enemy.
Nothing is said of the Lousiana,
but it was supposed that she was
scuttled. It is rumored that she was
sunk at the first fire.
Camp Ware is at Tangihahue, 78
miles ,from New Orleans, on the
Jackson Railroad. •
The following are the latest dis
patches in to-day's papers :
Mobile, April 27.—The Yankee
Commodore,. Farragut, promised the
%Mayor's Secretary, who visited the
fleet under a flag of truce, to make a
••renewed demand for the surrender of
the city, but has not done so up to
the hour of five o'clock.
Our ship, the Mcßae, came from
the forts, under a flag of truce, with
40 of our wounded. She communi
cated with the federal flag ship, but
•the result was not known. It is ru
mored that the federals refused to let
her return. That Fort Pike had
been evacuated and blown up is un
reliable. •
In a conference held with one of
thelecleral officers, after the corres
pondeoce between Mayor Monroe
and Commodore Farragut, the offi
,cer left, declaring he would shoot
down the flag on the City Hall if not
hauled down, and actually brought
e' ship within range, but has not
ed thus far.
It is reported that French and
English men-of-war are down below,
and enter their protest against shell
ing the city.
-It is believed the Yankee vessels
are short both of provisions and am
munition.
The city is remarkably orderly,
but the' excitement is intense and
'the feeling of humiliation deep.
Richmond, April 28.—The follow
,ing official dispatch was received this
morning by Adjutant General Coop
er; dated "Camp Moore, April 27th,"
'`Forts Jackson and St. Phillip are
'still in good condition and in our
hands. The steamers Louisiana and
Mcßae are safe. The enemy's fleet
are'at the city, but they have not
the forces to occupy it. The inhab
itants 'are stauncbly loyal.
Mobile; April 28.—The forts on
Lake Ponchartrain were all evacua
ted on the 25th. We have sustained
considerable . loss in supplies and
dismounting, but not destroying the
'guns. At Fort Pike all the build
ings were burned, including the tel
egraph office, and the operator has
gone to the limits of the city to open
an office, if possible. All the gun
boats on the Lake have been burned
by our own people. The Mobile
boats Whiteman, Brown and several
others are removing troops, stores
and ordnance to Manashoek, after
which we fear they will be burned.—
A Yankee fleet, was at Ship Island
and are again returning to that eta-
tion
In a local paragraph headed "mar
kets," the Norfolk Day Book men
tions the very small supply of edi
bles exposed for sale, and says it be
comes a question of grave moment
as to when and how the people are
to be fed.
The death of Samuel B. Todd,
brother of Mrs. Lincoln, is an
nounced. He died on the battle
field from the effects of wounds at
the battle of Shiloh, on the 7th of
April.
The Charleston Mercury, of Satur
day, says that nine schooners left
that port on the previous Saturday
to run the blockade. The ` Guide;
Wave, and two others, were captured.
The crews of the Guide were landed
on Gibbet Island on Wednesday.—
On Friday, they were seen by our
pickets, and fired on, supposing them
,to be Yankees. David Kanter, of
Augusta, was killed. The other ves
sels' crews were sent to Port Royal.
It is reported by a flag of truce
that the Merrimac had her steam up.
It was expected in Norfolk, last
night, that she would come out to
day. She has not made her appear
- ance, however.
It is now raining.
The . gunboat Mount Vernon ar
rived bete from, die _binfOrade off
She left thee
town and Victoria.
The Cambridge sailed hence for
Wilmington on Sunday.
The Mount Vernon's boilers are
defeetive..l* aka will Mara to heir
station in a few days.
Fort Caswell is being strengthened
by the rebels in expectation of an
attack.
The schooner Kate, from Nassau,
was captured by the Mount Vernon
about two weeks ago, while attempt
ing to rim the blockade.
STRENGTH OF GEN. RALLECK'S ARMY.
PREPARATION FORA BATTLE.
THE SIEGE OF FOR PILLOW.
Cerro, April 28.—The steamer Es
tella has just arrived from Pittsburgh
Landing, but brings no later intelli
gence from Gen. HaHeck's army.—
She confirms reports previously re
ceived of a probable advance and
battle to-day.
The steamer "B" arrived from
Fort Pillow at two o'clock this morn
ing. There had been no material
change in the affairs of the fleet.—
There was some occasional firing
by the mortars, and some oc
casional replies by the enemy's bat
teries. It is probable that tho in
telligence of the fall of New Orleans,
which was last evening sent by
steamer to Commodore Foote, may
hasten matters below and put a pe
riod to the hitherto cautious policy of
the flag officer.
The "B" brought to Cairo six ref
ugees from Memphis, from which
city they departed one week ago yes
terday. They had secured, through
the connivance of a Union merchant,
their passports to Humboldt, but in
stead of going in that direction they
procured a skiff and crossed the Mis
sissippi to the Arkansas shore, 'about
six miles below Randolph, and ta
king to the swamp and bottom lands,
which are here overflowed for an im
mense distance. They rowed back
6 miles or more from the river, and
after severe trials and suffering reach
! ed Osceola. From here they rowed to
the fleet and reported to Commodore
Foote. They say a majority of the
people in Memphis are Union, but
are compelled to advocate secession
sentiments to preserve their proper
ty. There are several secret Union
societies, who assist their members
to emigrate, and are pledged to aid
in the re-establishment of Federal
authority. Five men are known to
be on their way North by the same
route taken by these.
G-ens. Price and - Van Darn recent
ly passed through Memphis on their
way to Corinth, leaving about 6,000
troops to overawe the city and en
fbrce the conscription act. Jeff.
Thompson is in Memphis, and has
his quarters at the Gayousa House.—
There are 5,000 bales of cotton, 7,000
hogsheads of sugar and 20,000 bar
rels of molasses now lying upon the
levee at Memphis, of which the cot
ton will be burnt, and the sugar and
molasses rolled into the river, on the
approach of the Federal forces.—
Citizens and newspapers are oppos
ed to burning the city, but the sol
diers and country people favor it.
The Memphis Argus is considered
the exponent of the . Union senti
ment, and is not allowed telegraphic
dispatches. The Safety Committee
talk of suppressing it.
The Legislature passed the militia
law without a quorum. The more
violent of the rebels in the country
consider Memphis a "Union hole,"
and threaten to wipe it out.
On Wednesday succeeding the bat
tle of Pittsburg, Gen. Prentiss and
2,386 Union prisoners passed through
Memphis. The men were in good
spirits, and kindly treated by the in
habitants, particularly the Irish and
German women. Citizens contented
themselves with waving handker
chiefs and looking the interest they
dared not .openly express. Prentiss
made a Union speech to his men, and
the citizens cheered him. Provost
Marshal L. D. McKissock bade him
remain silent. Prentiss told him he
had four to one more friends in Mem
phis than he (McKissock), and said
to the citizens, "Keep quiet fora few
weeks, and you will have an oppor
tunity to cheer the old flag to your
hearts' content." Our soldiers sang
the Star Spangled Banner, Red,
White and Blue, Happy Land of
Canaan, and Old John Brown, as
they were starting on the cars for
Tuscaloosa, Alabama,. where they
are at present confined. There' are
114 Union officers among the prison
ers. Beauregard claims to have
taken 3,000 prisoners.
The Memphis & Ohio, Memphis &
Charleston, and Mississippi & Ten
nessee railroads are connected by a
Union track to give greater facility
for moving rolling stock and provis
ions in case of Federal attack. All
old iron and brass was being collect
ed and forwarded below. The citi
zens think that Fort Pillow will be
taken by the flotilla, but the soldiers
and newspapers consider it impreg
nable.
The Confederate loss, all told, at
Pittsburg, was about 4,000-1,000
Wounded are in Memphis. Govern
ment machinery, commissary and
quartermaster's stores are removed.
It is thought that the fate of the
confederacy hangs upon the Corinth
battle. If beaten they have no re
source left but the organization of
guerilla bands and predatory war
fare:
Four deserters from Port Pillow
arrived at the flotilla on Sunday
morning, and reported twenty-five
more in the swamps opposite. A
tug was sent for them. They say
the Confederate army at the fort is
greatly demoralized, whole compa
nies refusing to do ordinary military
duty. Large numbers of soldiers
are in irons; their term of enlistment
had expired, and their officers wish
ed to compel them to serve two years
longer. At the fort , one man had
killed and a dozen wounded by.
thieziskl - (*ion . of our shells.
The river is rising rapidly—two
inches within tb . last, ten hours. It
seems now impossible to avert the
great calamity.
A dispatch was received this morn
ing from Pittsburg, dated Sunday
evening. Up to that hour there had
been no fighting.
There was a prospect yesterday of
a conflict between the civil and the
military authorities, upon the eter
nal nigger question. The United
States Marshal, of this District
claimed the right to take a contra-.
band captured at Fort Donelson, and
now employed by the Government,
and return him to his master, who is
said to be a loyal Missourian. The
Provost Marshal resisted, and de
! manded his authority. For a time
I there was a prospect of a scrimmage,
but the promptness of the Provost
' Marshal prevented it, and the U. S.
Marshal abandoned the claim.
We have in the army of the Ten
nessee one hundred and sixty-six
thousand efficient men. This was
the consolidated morning report of
Saturday.
VERY LATEST FROM PITTSBURG
LANDING!
AI/VANCE OP OVA ARMY
TOWARDS CORINTH !
Erroneous Impression of Rebels--Mutiny
of Two Louisiana Regiments--Rebels
Evacuating Corinth.
PITTSBURG LANDING VIA LOUIS
VILLE, April 29.—Heavy firing across
Lick Creek was heard this morning,
caused by artillery practice with
the rebels by our advance guards,
who after slight skirmishing, in
which we captured several prisoners,
occupied Pea Ridge, and at nine o'-
clock occupied Monterey, twelve or
fourteen miles from Corinth.
A very intelligent sailor of Boston,
who deserted from the rebels this
side of Corinth, reports that the cap
ture of New Orleans was generally
known in the rebel camp on the
morning of 27th.
lie also states that on the . 16th
inst. the time of two Louisiana regi
ments, enlisted for twelve months,
expired, but by the new conscription
law they were required to serve two
years longer. On being so informed
both regiments laid down thoir arms
and refused to fight, when Beaure-
gard detailed four regiments to guard
them as prisoners. It was currently
known that Gen. HaHeck is in com
mand here, but the general impres
sion among the troops is that Gen.
Buell was, and our army retreating
to Nashville.
CAIRO, April 29.—The steamer
Bacon,which left Pittsburg, last even
ing, has arrived.
Generals Hal leek, Buell and Grant,
have moved their headquarters near
the front of our lines, personally sit
perentending all details attending
the advance of the whole force, or
ders for which are hourly expected.
Gen. Pope's division advanced four
miles on Sunday, and is now en
camped in sight of the enemy's camp
fires. Rebel deserters who came in
on Sunday had heard rumors of the
fall of New Orleans, which, however,
were contradicted. The pickets oc
casionally exchange slots.
Later—An arrival to-night reports
our whole army movinc , forward
slowly-. Contrabands and deserters
who come into our lines, repeat pre
vious statements that Corinth is be
ing evacuated.
CAMP NEAR PITTSBURG, April 29.
Hon. E. M. Stanton: Gen. Pope sent
a force to Monterey this morning.
The enemy fled. Our forces took fif
teen prisoners, some baggage and
supplies. We destroyed the encamp
ment and returned to camp in good
order. There is a reconnoissance
out to explore the country to Farm
ington. No news from it yet. Our
army is greatly rejoiced to hear of
the capture of New Orleans.

AFFAIRS BEFORE YORKTOWN,
DISPATCH FROM GEN. McCLELLAN
FORTRESS MONROE, April 28.—A
flag of truce took dispatches and
some packages of letters for the
Union prisoners.
No news or papers were received,
or at least none came into our hands
or those of the press correspondents.
The city of New Orleans has been
taken by the Union forces. The tel
egraph operators having left there,
as previously reported; no particu
lars had been received. It is stated,
however, that the operators subse
quently attempted to return, but
found the city in the possession of
the United States troops. It is
probable that the city surrendered
without resistance at the appearance
of the fleet.

Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War :
Nothing of interest transpired du

nor was the work interrupted.
I have just sent a heavy field bat

Mississii—Pittsburg, Tenn., April
13th.-llon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary

the 6th, and contributed largely to
the glorious victory of the 7th of
April. fie was in the thickest of the

Skirmish Near Monterey, Tennessee.
PITTSBURGH LANDING, via. Louis
ville, April 29.—Another cavalry re
connoissance yesterday met a rebel
foraging party near Monterey. A
sharp skirmish ensued, resulting in
the death of five rebels, including
one Major, and capturing 19 prison
ers. One man was wounded on our
side.
There was a heavy rain last night.
The roads are .wain in a bad con
dition.
The river is very high and rising.
Brig. Gen. Collura, Chief of the
Staff of Engineers, has arrived from
the Mississippi river, where they
have been engaged placing defenses
on that river.
THE ABANDONMENT OF SANTA FE.
ST. LOUIB, May I.—Mr. Mitchell, a
merchant of New Mexico, arrived in
this city yesterday. He confirms
the abandonment of Santa Fe by the
rebels, who were retreating as fast as
they could from the territory. They
are destitute of all munitions and pro
visions, and there is no hope of their
being supplied from any quarter.
At Santa Fe the rebels levied heav
ily on merchants, in some cases ta
king as high as fifteen thousand dol
lars worth of goods, and paying Con
federate scrip.
It is believed Gen. Canby would
now follow the rebels and drive them
out of the territory. N o doubt exists
of the ability of the Federal troops
to keep out invaders, but an access
ion of two or three regiments of
troops is necessary to keep the
Apachaes and Navajoes in subjection.
They have been committing depre
dations for months past, stealing
horses, mules, and everything that
came in their way.
The report of the formation of a
territorial government under rebel
authority, has no foundation. All
territorial officers had returned to
Santa Fe and resumed the perform
ance of their duties. Chief Justice
Benedict is now on his way to the
States. There is now no United
States Judge in the territory.
THE OHIO TROOPS AT SH.T.LOH.
The charges made against the Sev
enty-Seventh and Fifty-third Ohio
regiments, in connection with the
battle of Shiloh, are said by repre
sentatives from Ohio to be entirely
unjust and unmerited. These regi
ments,
says a Herald dispatch, are
both from the Sixteenth Congression
al District of Ohio, and represented
by Hon. Wm. P. Cutler, who has
communicated to the War Depart
ment reliable information, exonera
ting the regiments from the charges
preferred of ignobly running from
the field of battle. It is shown that
the Seventy-seventh, on Sunday, sus
tained for four hours the attack of
four times their number of the ene
my, and fell back only when com
pletely overpowered by numbers,
and the Fifty-third was similarly sit
uated when compelled to fall back.
They contested the ground firmly,
rallying four several times to meet
the attack of the advancing rebels.
Both these regiments were engaged
in the battle on Monday, and be
haved bravely. The imputation
against them, of want of courage, is
pronounced a gross misapprehension
or a deliberate perversion of the fact,
to screen from censure those who
were really to blame for allowing
that portion of our army to be sur
prised by the enemy on Sunday morn
ing.
A WHITE FEATHER COLONEL.
David Neal, of Comp.l, 53rd reg
iment, whose residence is near Ma
rion, in this county, says the Ironton,
Ohio, Register, was severely, though
not dangerously, wounded in the bat
tle of Pittsburgh Landing.
He confirms the report that Col. J.
J. Appler ran from the field at the com
mencement of the fight, and failed to
show his face until the battle was over.
When he did appear, the boys hissed
and hooted at him, and cried out,
"Shoot him ! Shoot him !" He also
informed us that Lieut. Col. Fulton
assumed command, remaining with
the boys throughout the fight, and
by bis gallantry and bravery saved
the 53d from total disgrace. Col.
Appler wished to resign, but was in
formed that his resignation would
not be accepted—but that he would
be cashiered, dismissed from the sec,-
vice, and sent home iu disgrace.—
"Served him right," will•be the ver
dict of this whole people.
- INDIAN DEFEAT.—General Eta Heck
telegraphs to Secretary Stanton the
official information received of the
defeat and route of stix hundred sav
ages, under Cols. Coffee and Stam
wright, at Neosho, Missouri, by one
hundred and fifty of the First Mis
souri volunteers. Sixty-two prison
ers, seventy horses and a large quan
tity of arms were taken.

terday a message in response to a
resolution, to the effect that General
Stone was arrested at his instance
and by his order, and that he should
have as speedy a trial as was consist
ent with the public interest, but that
the exigences of the service were
such that neither officers nor wit
nesses to attend a court-martial could
at present be spared from the field.
Family Under Arrest.
Mr. John C. Bull, of the firm of
Bull & Graham, commission mer
chants in St. Louis, with his whole
family, have been placed under ar
rest and confined in their own house,
with orders not to leave it. The
offence was displaying a secession
flag.
A DIFFERENCE.—The force of Gen.
Curtis at the battle of Pea Ridge
was but ten thousand men. The
rebels, according to their own ad
mission, had over thirty thousand.—
Our troops were, however, better dis
ciplined and better armed than the
enemy.

a concentrated extract of • Para Sarsaparilla , so
combined with other substances of still greater al
terative power as to afford an effective antiticte for
diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. Su ch a reme
dy issurely wanted by those who surfer from Stru
mous complain. s. and that one which will accomplie
i heir cure must pi,,ve of immense service to this large
class of our allliete G llow-citizens. How completely
this compound wilt do a has been p rover, by experi
ment on many of the worst cages 6u be found in the
l oli me ion complaints
Scrofula and Scrofulous complaints. Eruptions and
Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Taiitors,
.Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, .bleuratiria or
c Doloreitz, Debility, Dyspepsia and Indigestion,
Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, and indeed
the whole class of complaints arising front hopuri*
of the Blood.

This compound will be found a great p toter of
health, when taken in the swing, to expe he foul
hn mors which fester in the blood at that se of the
year. By :he time.y expulsion of them many rankling
disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this retney, spare themselves from the
endurance of :mil eruptions and ulcerous sores, through
which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions,
if not assisted to do this through the natural channels
of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out
the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or
sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul,
and your feelings wild tell you when. Even where
no particular disorder is telt, people enjoy better
health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Beep
tire blood healthy, arid all is well ; but with the pabu
lum of life 'disordered, there can be no lasting health.
soon- r cr later something must go wrong, and the
great machi ,ery of life Is disordered or overthrown.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of
sarsaparilla for one dollar. Must of these have been
frauds upon i lie sick, for they not only contain little
if any Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of gam
parilla which flood the market, until the name itself is
justly despised, and Las become synonotnous with
imposition arid the it. Still we call this compound
Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as
shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground for be
lieving it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordi
nary run of the diseases it it intended to cure.
