C. II. Tauakkruui in patch from (Ion. Johnston given 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. eh lias been said ar.d v comes up from be low New Orlean-. all the Yankee forces m that city must fall into our hands wilh- ■ iut a blow. Wo have strong hopes that 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. homo of the particulars of tho surren der of Vicksburg art' given in the follow- Frow ilic Msqoii Telegraph,fhh.

Hragg ami ItosccraiiH. 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.

We havo no news confirming tho ru mors that our troops are in possession o New Orleans. That our force,, wore ai Kenner, which is soino twelve milei above, and a* A.giers opposite the city, i' hardly doubted.
