The Reported Capture of New Orleans.
Wo Arc, ut tho time of writing this, in
suspense as ft* tho truth of tho reported
re capture of New Orleans by tho Con
federate?. All the reports from that
region, however, prepare us to regard
the statement us not improbable. It is
stated most circumstantially and posi
tively that Gen. Taylor had crossed the
Mississippi river and whs operating on
tho railroad a short distance above Now
Orleans. The following is from tbe Jack-
son Miteimhppiati o«*tho 8d Inst. :
A telegraph dispatch was received in
this city yesterday evening, by General
Johnston, tv the following effect.
The Confederate cavalry had succeeded
in capturing Algiers. Gens. Taylor and
Magntder bad taken Kenner, the depot
leu mile* nhov.* New Orleans, on the
N, u Or!.- ii; Ja.-kson & Great Northern
Railroad, with tin* batteries, embracing
!;t\v siege gun-., which commanded the
-trip of land between the river and the
manhe- which surround Lake l’ontclmr-
rassongers nrriving at l’ontchatoula
any that firing was heard in the direction
of New Orleans later in the day.
It is probable that our forces met with
another i-t breu-i works in the vicin
ity of Carrollton, which would account
for tin* filing alter tin y bad captured tin
batteries at Kenner.
If those reports no true, tho fifty cap
tured siogo guns can be planted behind
the levees, ami the low stage of tho water
will give us tho plunging shot upon the
enemy, and the nvei can bo thoroughly
loiii.minded; and u the Chim -f fleet.

New- UrleaiT* will soon bo ours again, and
Ranks' urrny also.
GRTTYsnuno, Pa., is the county soat
nf Adams county, ono of the Southern
border tier of the State. It is about 20
miles southivc-t of York, which fact
shows that Kwoli, in occupying tho lat
ter, was in advance nf the main body of
:.**>! it to bo a HuaaeU County, Ala., near this city, and
o panic hero.
, and tho Con
federacy may bo divided by a water line
held by tho enemy ; but this has practi
cally been tho case for many months
past, yet the war has boon vigorously
prosecuted by tho'Confcderates on both
sides of it. Indeed, western Louisiana
has been almost completely rid of the
enotny within a week or two past, and
victorious trims-Mississippi co-labor
ers are causing Yankee knows to smile
together even In Now Orleans. It has
boon demuuhtratpil by tho uporalioro of bloc . k „ Jn lo obtui „
the last few months that both sections of
our Confederacy, divided by the Missis
sippi, can carry on energetic and bri.-
Hant warfare independently. It is only
as a means of reinforcement and supply
that tho Yankees can make tho Missis
sippi advantageous to them—it will real
ly be a source of weakness to them tr
maintain great armies on its banks mere
ly to hold it as a lino of division of our
.State?—and wo may rest assured that
they will not bo permitted to uso it in
this way with impunity. Tho attempt
will “cost inoro than it come* to." Our
enterprising and- daring partisans will
establish moveable batteries along Its
banks at many points, and will sink half
tho Yankee transports that attempt
to make tho hazardous passage. During
tho season of low water, at least, the
Yankee transport that makes a voyage
from Memphis tv Now (.Menus maybe
regarded ns having a “charmed life."
The river will bo wholly unavailable as a
highway of commerce at nr.y timo during
•nr, and tho Stickers and Ilvosiors
hose benefit the Vicksburg snag has
removed at so vast a sacrifice, will
find that they gain nothing by tho
operation and can only navigate the riv
er in time of ponce with tho South.
While we deeply regret the fall of
Vicksburg, therefore, wo do notrgurd
it iih a groat substantial advantage tv the
Yankees, believing that the Mississippi
will still be closed tv their transports, and
that our friends on tho other side are still
able to “hold up their corner'’ success
fully.

There have been such apparently con
flicting reports of movements in Middle
Tennessee, within the last three days,
^ that wo are much perplexed about “the
situation" in that quarter. We have not
time, nor do we tlunk it worth the spac
to recapituato these successive rumois.
Suffice it to say that wo havo taken them
all together, with a view of reconciling
them, and can only do so in accordance
with this programme: Gun,, Rragg fell
back, with a large portion or ull of bis
command, Inst wook, as fhr as Bridge
port—of this we have little doubt. Mor
gan, and porhaps Wheeler, in tho mean
time, wero harassing JRosecranz's rear,
cutting oft'his communication and sup
plies, and oven menacing Nashville.
Finding himself thus plucod between
two pretty hut flro®, Rosy, instead of
pushing on after Rragg, retraced his
fteps towards Nashville, and Rragg
again advanced to Tullahoma, or to
wards it. This may not be a correct de
duction from oil the rumors at hand, but
each one of tho movements embraced in
it has been reported, and we can only
reconcile thorn by giving them in the
Mf*vq order.
The means evidently taken to provent
thu transmission of news for the public
are working mischievously. Tho poop.e
receive tbo worst reports as the trutn
when the military authorities cut off from
them thu telegraph.

Col. Holt and the Soldiers.
Editor Enquirer: —Hon. Hines Holt
having announced himself a candidate
forCongre?.?, in tho 3d Congressional Dis
trict, it is proper thut Lhoso who have
friends and relatives in the army should
know something of tin* course pursued
by him toward the sick and wounded
soldier, whilo in Richmond.
I speak advisedly on this subject, as P
was in a favorable position to see much,
and hoar more, of hi* unparalleled exer
tions in behalf of this unfortunate class.
It w as tho habit of Col. Holt to visit
the Hospitals frequently, and whenever
id wherever ho found a Georgia soldi'
id particularly one from his District, in
condition that he deserved a furlough,
to proceed at onco on tho mission of
mercy of procuring it for him. By his
untiring onergy and watchfulness, ho has
sent homo to anxious parent? and wives,
hundreds of instances, their sick and
wounded «ons and husbands, who but for
his kindness would have diod in some
Hospital.
Col. Holt’s labors did not end with hb
Congressional duties (.vhich ho most
faithfully performed) ; but when tho
House adjourned, he at once devoted
himself to relieving the suffering soldier.
“The cause which ho knew not he search
ed out," and I feel safe irt saying that no
soldier, whether officer or private, ever
applied to hint iu vain, u hi? situation
was such thut he needed it-M»tnnce.
The condition of Col. 11 it’s health at
prosent, tells how faithful y and assidu
ously he acted his part. And can it bo
that his constituency will tail t*» appre
ciate bis fidelity, and reward hi.? zeal, by
re-election to the position which ho so
ably and faithfully filled '*
If so, the soldiers from the fid Congres
sional District will and justly too,
that their welfare and comfort is very
little cared for by the Voters at home.
