M\< lATUh\ or i\UH OHLUASB, .Interesting Detail* of Events. W e find in the Joekson Missippian of the HOth uit., the following interesting statement. Yesterday New Orleans was subject to the" most terrible humiliation and depredation whi,-it have ever fallen upon a brave and tile ptoplc. Alter a valiant defence by our torts below the city—after exhausting all our.resources and skill—the greater resources on water of the enemy enable them to pass our inferior fortifications with their large ticet, and they approached the city with a squadron of fifteen of their largest vessels, all steamships, gunboats and mortar vessels' 1 here vvas a large loree ot land troops in the eily , hut ot what avail were they against the ships and gunboats of the enemy ? At the moment it. was announced that the ships had passed the forts, it became evident to AI re flecting persons that the city was defenceless. .Steps were then taken to render it a barren couquest. JJy onjer of the Governor and authorities all the (Government mu nition and stores were sent away. JSuch mateiial (>1 war as could not be removed was destroyed. Orders were also issued to des troy all the cotton in this city. This was done. Ihe troops under the command of Oeri, Lovell were marched to the interior lines of the city—a few miles below-, these iiuea would have been formidable against an army advancing by land; but the batteries uear the river were quite weak and ineffec tive against the ships—especially in the pres ent stage ot the river—the high surface of the water enabling them completely to com mand the surrounding country. In the condition of affairs it was quite obvious that the enemy’s fleet would meet with no seiious obstacle iu passing up the liver. Accordingly, it was announced at au early hour that they were coming. Their vessels came up slowly, as if feeling their way—the Hartford, the flan ship of General Farragut, leading. Then followed the Brook lyn, the Richmond and nine other ships, big and little. As these ships anproached tbe batteries, about six or seven miles below the city, our artillerists opened upon them from both sides of the river, but as the guns were only 24’s, they produced hut little ef fect. The ships replied with several broad sides, which showed that they completely commanded our batteries. The batteries, though manned by unpracticed gunners, kept, up the fire for some time, but with no efleet, and under such discouraging circum stances as to render it an abvious policy to withdraw the gunners and the troops; the batteries were accordingly abandoned' and the; troops were marched to the Jackson Railroad. In the meantime the hostile squadron steamed up the river. A terrible and melancholy spectacle was presented to the victorious ships. The whole levee, foi miles, was wrapped in smoke, from the burn ing cotton and gun carriages which the au thorities had ordered to be. consumed, in the river were many hulls of burning ships, the debris of our fleet, aud of the merchant vessels and steamers which contained cotton. The squadron proceeded up the river, the ! great multitude clustered ou the levee, look j dig on with disgust and horror at the dismal : spectacle. Ab they passed, a tew shots were tired by some of the soldiers, but without orders. The ships did not reply, but pro ; eeeded slowly along our -levee. A feeble j cheer was raised on board one of the ships, which w r as responded to by somethin# liho a cheer from a few persons in the crowd. The j cheers, whether intended as such or not, i drew upon the parties who were suspected iT .giving them some dozen or so of pistol fd.V’ts, by which several persons were wound ed. The squadron being advanced, the fore i most ship as far as the Fourth District, came to an anchor-—the ships to the number of thirteen taking up positions in front of the : city so as to command the several streets. — [f'-cr remaining thus for a half hour, a boat came ashore with two officers, one (’apt. i B-iylies second in command of the squadron, | Capt. Farragut, being flag officer and a Lieu j tenant. r l hese officers were greeted on touching the shore, with the most uproarious huzzas for “ Jett Davis and the South,” and with' the most threatening demonstrations, j They had neglected to bring a flag of truce, and it was proof of the good sense of even j an unfuriated multitude that they were al -1 lowed to land. They, however, proceeded under the protection of some gentlemen, : who undertook to conduct them to the May or’s office, in a drenching rain, followed by a ; furious and excited mob. Through no vio lence was offered to the officers, certniu per sons who were suspected of favoring their flag and cause, were set upon with great fury, and very roughly handled. On arriving at the city City Hall, it required the interven tion of several citizens to prevent violence being offered to the rash ambassadors of an ! execrated dynasty aud Government. The Mayor received the Federal officers in his office with proper dignity, (.’apt. Baylies stated the purport of his mission. He had been sent by Capt. Farragut to demand the surrender of the city and the elevation of the flag of the United States over the Custom house, Postoffice, the Mint, aud the City Hall, The Mayor replied that he was not the military commander of the city, that he had no authority to surrender it, and would not do so, but that there was a military com- Launder in the city, and be would send for him, to receive and reply to the demand. A messenger was dispatched to Gen. Lo vell. In the interval a number of citizens who were present got into conversation with the U. S. naval officers The Lieutenant seemed to be a courteous, well behaved, gen tleman who bore testimony with apparent eariK -fiiev* to the vigor and valor of the t xtiu iif *ui turts, and was quite commuoi j L * senior officei was more reserved, •ot •gdl more 1 »rg*> in professions of peace u ll,tl >‘ts. It was difficult, however, for hun v.. conceal the bitu r < etional hate of a husetts man again.? a true Southern community’ in the course of the eoversation however, this officer remarked* that Oapt bur rag ut deeply regretted to see the Spirit . which prevailed in the city in the destruction of cotton and other things. Ihe Mayor remarked that he differed with him ; that the destruction was of our own ptopt-rty and did not concern outsiders < 'apt. Bay lies replied that it looked like bitiim oft ones nose to spite his face. The Mayor replied that we had judged differently. Aite.r awhile, (ien arrived in front M ihe (Tty Hull, and was greeted with loud -jueers by the crowd outside. On entering the Mayor * office, Capt. Rhytets Inrn.dnred himself as second in command of the U. 8 .Squadron in front of the city. General I»- sell replied, “ Tam General Lovell, of the aim y of the Confederate States, commanding diis department.” The officers then shook hands, and Laps. Baylies stateil his mission to demand the surrender of the city aud the ele\ution of the I’. S flag over the Cus tom House, Mint and Post-Office—adding that lie was instructed by (..'apt. Purragut to state he came to protect private property and especially not to interfere with tiieueoTo r>ro perfy. 6 1 Gen. Lovell replied that he would not sur leiider the city, nor allow it to be surren dered ; that he was overpowered m the wa ter by their superior squadron, but that he intended to fight them on land as long as he could muster a soldier; that he had marched all his armed men out of the city ; that he had evacuated it; and if they desired to shell the town destroying women and children, they could do so. That it was to avoid this he marched his troops beyond the city limits, but that a large number even of the women of the city had begged him to remain and defend the city even against shelling. He did not think he would be justified in doing so. He would, therefore, retire and leave the city authorities to pursue what course they should think proper. Capt. Baylies said that no such purpose was entertained hy ( apt. farragut, reiterating tho expression of bis regret at the destruction of cotton. Gen. Lovell interrupted him by saying that it was done by his authority. Capt. Baylies said that he had no doubt that Gen. Lovell had done his duty, and they were doing theirs. It was then coneludedjhat Capt. Lay lis aud the other officers would return to their ships, and the Mayor would call the Council, and lay before it, the demand oi Capt. Farragut. The officers requested to he protected in their return to their ships, and Gen. Lovell direct ed Col. Lovell aud Major James to accom pany them, ihe officers accordingly pro ceeded to the front of the City Hall, where they took a cab and proceeded to the wharf. 1 Hiring the interview an immense and excited crowd of people had congregated about the City Hall, who alternately hurrahed for Jeff. Davis, for Gen. Lovell, and most vigorously groaned for ‘Lincoln and his squadron.’ To culm this multitude Pierre Soule ad dressed them in a few eloquent and effective words, counseling moderation, self-possession, fortitude and confidence iu their cause, de claring that the honor of the Government and city was in safe hands, and that Gen. Lovell s auswe r to the demand to surrender was worthy of the commander of a brave people. Gen. Lovell, on appearing on the. steps, was also loudly cheered, lie addressed the multifile in a short speech, declaring life purpose not to surrender the city, but to re tire with liis army and fight the Lincolnites, whom they could always whip on land. He briefly sketched his course in the preparation of the defense of the city. Had done all he could do with the means at his disposal.— That he came here six mouths too late, and it was against his resources to contend suc cessfully against the enemy’s power on wa ter. He advised the citizens to bear themselves manfully, never to stoop or submit to the I Jn coln denomination, aud to wait with patient fortitude for tne deliverance from bondage which must soon come to them. The Gen eral then mounted his horse and accompa nied by his staff, rode to the Jackson Rail read, where he took the last car having al ready sent, his army ahead of him. Tlie Capture of l¥ew Orleans. j We 1 iave been favored, says the Charles ton Mercury , by an interview with an in tel j ligent gentleman of character, who has just come from New (Jfleans, where he was at the time of its fall. From him we obtain the following particulars of the capture of the city : The Yankee fleet consisted of seventy boats of various descriptions—gunboats, mor tar boats, steam frigates, Ac. The defence of New Orleans icsted upon two forts, Jack son and St. Philip, a few inferior batteries above the forts, and a fleet of twenty boats, the strongest of which were the Mcßae (carrying seveu-32 poundeas aud one O-inch gun,) aud Manassas Ram. The Louisiana ; (carrying eight large guns) was a complete failure. She had to be towed down the river and used as a floating battery, for the two large wheels working in the middle of the bout interfered with one another aud ren dered her unmanageable. She was an old hulk roofed with iron. The enemy’s fire was concentrated chiefly on Fort Jackson, until the work was only a battered shell. The offi cers and garrison were said to have behaved with great spirit and fortitude. Three of ihe eucray’s boats are said to have passed In -G -ot the knowledge of the forts. Tin :iv<-i,is ihunt n mile wide, and i*i>vercd with heavy fog a t ri t ‘ht. The naval engagement extended for somt uoles up the river. Exchange,- of broadsides and collisions were continuous, until but our of the Confederate boats—a steam hulk with one gun—returned to the city, and w:e burned and turned adrift. A Galveston steamer sunk one of the best of the Yankee guuboats after running into her three times, was soon sunk herself. The Mcßae was seen gallantly exchanging broadside foi broadside with two double-bank frigates.- She was commanded by Capt. Tom Him er, of Charleston, aud was sunk. Her com mander is said to lie in New < hleans, wound ed, having saved hi- life in one of the small Goats, it was supped The Alanassas commanded by Lieut. WTuky, of South arolom disappeared, but it was not known r ,B "- r !i,,c w-w 1,. „ lu; us ti„. ta.ums iv., s or sunk. Tliu uuuJuui ot (lie Louie,leialo N.n v ,v U3 desnerat* iu the gallantry aud devotiou ,li.-|il*ycd |Jm the,,- fight was hopeless from tbe'bcginiug. 1-he great Mississippi steam ram had iu>t been launched a few days, and would not have been ready to operate in forty days more. Bhe was a propeller, with three screws and sixteen engines, to carry twenty guns of the largest calibre. Her projection, or ram, was tweuty feet of solid timber, to be shod with an additional steel point. Bhe was three times as large and powerful as the \ irginia, floated beautifully, and was sea going. All the naval officers who saw her, say that she was the finest ship in the world, and it is confidently asserted by officers of high rank, that without a gun she could have destroyed the whole Yankee fleet. Siw was to have been ready hy the Ist of Febru ary- The contractor was a Air. Tift, a brother-in-law of Mr. Mallory. The wood work was finished long ago, and there has been great anxiety and impatience about the dilatory manner of completing the iron work and machinery. Ihe people of New Orleans and the surrounding country offered the Government and its agents all their mechani cal resources and workmen. They were de clined until three days before the attack. Lp to that time night work had not been put upon the boat, SIOO,OOO bounty was some time since, offered so the contractor to get it ready in time. Rewards were offered to others. Lovell said to the leinonstiances of citizens, that his hands were tied, and that he could not do more than he was doirm. Governor Moore said that matters were going on well, and that the city was safe. He could do nothing. The citizens offered money and labor, to fortify the levee between the city and the forts, but their offers were decliued as unnecessary. Three days before the appearance of the Yankee ships at New Orleans, Governor Moore quietly departed with his chief counsellors by way of the Carrollton Railroad, about dark, having a steamboat and picket of soldiers at that point. Anoymous letters probably caused it. Two days before the surrender of tiie city uu ex cited crowd, prepared with a rope, appeared at the ship-yard in search ot the contractor of the Mississippi. He was gone. The Mississippi was burned and sunk by the authorities. Our informant states that there is a feeling <»f profound exasperation against the Ad ministration and its agents. The people feel that they have been yyslainaticelly trifled with and sacrificed. When Uie y«,u ollieers landed, five Sicilians, who cheered them, were shot down hy the crowd. All who showed any signs of favor were knocked down as traitors. The tooling was intense. All the euttou was burned, and all the to bacco, except that claimed hy the Trench Government. The sugar and molasses re main in the city as private property, in im mense quantities. Much, however, is on the plantations still, the crop being very large. Gen. Lovell carried off by railroad, the machinery of the workshops and iron miels, and ali the rolling stock of the rail road. The machinery is important, and en titles him to credit. In preparations for the defeuce of the city, he has either been per mitted to do little or has done little of his own accord. His forces are at a camp of instruction at Jackson, Mississippi, protecting the railroad whore it crosses Rearl River, tic is not expected to reinforce Beauregard, except as a reserve corps. Twelve thousand foreign denizens had organized to fight in defence of New Orleans, but declined going off to fight in the Confederate cause. Recruits have been pouring in to General Beauregard, who fully possesses the hearts and the confidence of the Western people. To the extent of his capacity of arming them, it is supposed he will have men. It is be lieved in New Orleans that his army num bers one hundred and twenty thousand, but many are sick from limestone water. There is a feeling of perfect certainty of defeating Buell and Hallec-k in a signal manner.— Corinth is far enough from the gunboats to give opportunity for capturing or destroying them. Hence ifhas been selected as the battle field. General and troop* are alike confident. Thf Yankees and the Xtoroes at Fernanmxa, Fia.—One hundred and fifty negroes attempted to escape from their Yankee ta.sk masters the other day, at rernandinn, upon which they were fired on and fifteen of their number were killed or wounded. The Yankees are fortifying Fernandina, and have a large number of negroes engaged on their works. Whenever the negroes have an opportu nity they escape from their oppressors. They re port that they are worked hard, get Uttlfl rttt asd and no pay.-'^v, VOLUME XL—NO s. Gov. Brow it uiid Hi*. Coils* i kvi i u An. hen Gov. Brown was notiti .1 by tl Secretary of \\\n of the passage of th; F.-a --< riptiou Act, atiu -that all the btutc tr-<>pa between 18 anti b v years of an •. inu«t . * il .‘o Goufederatb service* he yielded ; io JOFsity and promptly transferred the 8 troops to the L\»ii federate General rati than have open conflict in the force of the •neinv.

States and the fundamental doctrine- !.»r which we are contending ; and that I ■ should have nothing to do with the tr.:- went of the Conscripts ; that he should do no act to commit the State to the policy, lot should r- cm the question of th«* t tumidity, of the act end its binding twice Upon the people of tLe State, for their and,.. - . ion at the earnest period wlw*u It can be done without serious embarrassment t the Loutedeirtoy in the prosecutiou of tLc W that Georgia in response to every call mad upou her, had tarnished more troop: tli-.n the President asked for, and that she would have furnished ‘20,000 more if her executiv • had been culled on as a part of her quota f v so large a number No plea of necessity, could, therefore, iu the opiuiou of the <: >V ernor, be set up for the passage of the «a so far us Georgia is concerned It is a well known fact, that the President has not arms enough to arm all the ti >\ , now in the field. The Conscription Act will call into the field a very large additional armed force, and take these men all from their farms at a time which will cause nru.y thousand acres of land to lie idle, wb n it i of the utmost importance that they 1 • eui tivated to produce supplies of provis; ms. Tlie Governor has attended to the i p • tance of exempting such overseei - necessary to govern our slaves, am < u them to cultivate our lands aud m»ice > - visions. The President lia - replied, r* f- : ring him to the Exemption Act, which ands not exempt them, aud declining to give anv assurance that they will be exempt. The Governor is of opinion that we have never been in danger for want of men, In that our deficiency has been, the want >T arms; and if the defensive licy is to persisted in, and largo number* of men f r eed to leave their farms, and go into c; n.p for the summer without arms, when they are so much needed in their fields, lie seri ously fears, that we arc in greater danger of being overcome with hunger than from any other cause. For the last twelve months Gov. Brown has favored a more active, and an aggr* - ive policy, and his opinion now is th it th best thing that could possibly be done won; .I be to throw' a column of fifty to seventy " -c thousand of our best trained men to Chatta nooga, in-1 lie shortest time possible, and pm them under Gen.
