NOTES OF A TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS 3Y A
MEMBER OF SCOTT’S CAVALRY.
Taking tue down train from Jackson, Miss , on
Tuesday mermng, May 6th, I succeeded in reach
ing Kenner, ten miles above New Orleans, to
which point the cars were still running, at ten
o’clock the same night.
Ir company with tnree gentieenen, on a like
mission, we left the train on its arrival and took
a carriage tor the city. On arrival at the line of
fortifications above Cirrolton (built by our for
ces, and known as Fort John Morgan,) we were
stopped by the well known “ halt” of the senti
nel. [I need hardly say we were in citizen’s dress.]
Immediately upon the ordjrtbe carriage stopped,
I jumped out, and approached bis blue bellied
highness, with the information that I was going
to the city—a fact which possibly he himself
suspected. To mr remark I received a rapid and
nervous answer, as follows: “Ah ! citizens: all
right.” I retook my seat, and bad -proceeded
some fifty yards, when we were again halted. As
the carriage stopped, I repeated my motions, and
said to the second as to the first, in a very abrupt
way, “I am going to the city.” ‘‘All right, sir,”
in a tone and gesture that would have done cred
it to a French dancing master. We had then
passed the Yankee lines,and were again in the
Crescent City, which presented bo change, but
that which the knowledge that a despot held
sway “where freemen lately trod” inspired.
Fatigued with the day’s ride, I retired to rest,
to be roused in the morning by the welcome air
of the “Bonnie Blue Flag, sung with great zest
by a city newsboy. Having attended to all busi
ness for which I had visited the city, I strolled
down Canal street to the river for the purpose of
examining such of the enemy’s fleet as were in
sight.
The sleep of-war Hartford, mounting twenty
four guns, a broadside of which were run out the
port-ficies and pointed on the city, lay at anchor
about mid-way in the stream. As fl ig ship of the
squadron, she" was gaily arrayed in burning of all
siz.s, shapes and colors; like all the fleet, she
was a beautiful specimen of naval architecture,
armed and equipped with every appliance of war
fare which money could buy or science devise.
Above her lay the sloop-of-war Richmond, twenty
guns, the gunboat J ickson, and the clipper ship
North America, of Bostop, whose size aad capacity
i led me to believe that she was there to carry off
j some ot the cotton which the expectant Yankees
had promised to the world. Below her -I could
I see the gunboats No. 3,4, 5, and 6. [The smoke
stacks are so numbered to distinguish them-j
The transport Mississippi was, at the
landing the 31st Massachusetts Regiment.
It was pleasant to see the manly bearing of the
citizens; they held themselves entirely aloof from
the enemy, and treat them with a silent contempt
which is quite refreshing.
I was much surprised in the appearance of the
Yankee soldiers, I had expected to see them
laughing and rejoicing; instead of which I found
them a very sad and dejected iooing set as men,
and don’t remember seeing a smiie on tbe conns
tenance cf one. They seem to have no spirit,
and to be fearing death or disease all the time.
There is force enough this day in New Orleans
to whip those feitows out were it not for their
gunboats.
Ln coming from the city I was asked if I Lad
any arms; on my answering No, I passed out
again without trouble. Before I left arrangements
had been made to resume the trains on the Ope
lousas roads for the conveying of provisions; also
to send boats up the Red River for cattle, and for
which Butler had pledged them protection.
The length of these gunboats is about one hun
dred and Forty feet; they are propellers, have no
upper-decks, carry all machinery below the water
line, are swift, and, being quite small, are no
good targets for a cannon bail. Let me here cor
rect a very popular error. Their gunboats, at
least those at the city, are not iron clad, but are
built of very heavy timbers ; nor did I see aught
of iron about their sloops of war, except immedi
ately on the outer sides of the machinery, which
is protected by heavy cross chains, running at
right angles, and very securely fastened to the
main braces.
The Brooklyn, Oneida, (sloops of war) and tbe
gunboat Winona, and others, had startea up the
river some days before I reached the city. The
armament of these gunboats consists of four
twelve pound howitzers on Abe sides, one eleven
inch rifled cannon, amidships, and a rifled Par
rott gun on the bow.
Captain Poor (a Virginian) commanding the
Oneida, had been killed during the engagement
at tbe forts, tbe Brooklyn lost ninety, and the
Hartford seventy men, while tbe four hundred
who went down in the Pensacola, and the three
gunboats that were sunk, would swell the number
to about five hundred.
The number of troops in the city would reach
five thousand, consisting io part of the 4th Wis
consin, 12th. Connecticut, 26th, 30th and 31st,
Massachusetts, Bridge’s battery, and a company
of Dragoons.
Picayune Butler was holding the St. Charles as
beadquarters, either entrance of which was pro
tected by a guard and two brass pieces. Few
soldiers are to be seen in the city, and they only
exerci-e on tbe thoroughfares. Two officers were
seen to go out driving on the shell road, nothing
baa been heard of them; it has been suggested,
Commodore Tatnall arrived in Richmond
i on Monday last
however, that probably they missed their way,
and instead of reaching the lake, brought up at
tbe graveyard ; the roads are very similar, and
it is nossible thev mistook the one for the other.
Let me, in conclusion, revert to some occur
reces antecedent aud consequent to the surren
der of New Orleans, So false have many of the
representations been, that great injustice has
been attached to parties wholly innocent, win c
due credit has been withheld from otuers ncbly
deserving of it- While slander has bee “ busy
with the name of Mansfield Lovell, has
maintained a sullen silence and hardly breath.s
the gallantry of Dnucao, Higgins, Macintosh,
Huger and Warley. . ~
The fall of New Or.eans, and the action of
Lovell, has an exact parallel in the surrender of
Nashville, and the conduct of Johnston; the des
perate resistance at Donelson has a pare del in
the determined struggle at bort Jackson ; the
guilantrv of officers and men at the one, finds a
parallelm the intrepid valor at the other. Nor
ho-s toe analogy end here; the obloquy heaped
uy ; a that nure and self-sacnDcing hero, Albert
Sidnev Johnston, bids tar to dog the steps of
the not less injured or abused Lovell.
Gen. Lovell Is no more to blame for the loss o
New Orleans Johnston was or tbe fall
of Nashville. Neither ?t them had the too sw th
which to work, and neither could the dis
In the one case, as in the othetJ. th ®
sibilitv rest where it belongs, <>n Ke war asu
Navy Departments at Richmond , ana ttiey
alone are responsible for the loss ot Nashvh«“ and
New Orleans. ,
There was but one thing that could have saveo
the latter place ; and that is properly built gun
boats, with which to resist theirs, and to co-ope
rate with tbe forts.
G-en. Lovell had neither the means nor tne aus
thority to build; it was the province and the bo*
siness of the Navy Department, and they turned
but deaf ears to his every entreaty. Gen. L. was
untiring in his exertions to place the city, of iVhich
he was in charge, in a proper state of defence, and
had succeeded in putting the forts in a state to
repel a most desperate attack and stand an un
paralleled siege.
Vi He had built fortifications above and below
the city to guard against a land force, and to ses
cure it aginst any army, but it fell to the power
foi fleet, which be was impotent to resist.
How is it that the gunboats of the enemy have
ail been built since the war, and we have not one
that is entitled to tbe name. And yet there are
those who abuse and defame Lovell, on what it
pleases them to call his incompetency or coward*,
ice. It reminds me of the hawk cawing to the
eagle. It was as impossible to defend New Or- 1
leans without gunboats, as it would be to make
heat from ice, or frost from the sun.
Thera seems to be a very prevalent and erron
eous opinion that the city of New Orleans was
tamely given up, and passed over as if by legal
transaction to the sway of tbe Federais. Never
was there a more unjust conclusion, or a greater
delusion.
It is not known that for ten days Fort Jackson
stood a most terrible and continued siege; that
shells fell like hail into tbe fort; that citadel and
quarters were destroyed, and naught left stand
ing, but our guns and fla< which still waved
proudly defiant?
‘ Could a “Mobile Woman” have stood upon the
ramparts of Fort Jackson and looked down upon
that scene of desolation, and gazed upon the naw
made graves, tbe scattered limbs, and torn gar»
meats of brave hearts whose last pulsation bad
breathed a patriot’s prayer, and whose last act
was a patriot’s death, she would be slow to cen®
sure the sons of her sister city.

NEW ORLEANS ITEMS-
We get the following items from the local col
umn of tbe New Orleans Picayune of the Sth
inst.;
After having for several days and nights during
a time of great excitement, contributed very
largely to the protection of life and property, and
thus rendered services o( inestimable value to
the city, of which a grateful people will cherish
tbe remembrance, these brigades, composed en
tirely of foreign residents, were disbanded on
Friday evening, tne necessity for their further
services being obviated by the changed condition
of affairs. As their Commanding General justly
says, their “mission is accomplished,” and their
“conduct has been most meritorious.”
A large addition was made yesterday to the
Federal troops in this city. We did not enquire
as to the number, having no particular curiosity
on that score, and chafing at the sight of them.
A large transport brought many, and they landed
in the evening. Where they went afterwards we
know not, ana care not. It is sufficient for us to
know that they came uninvited, and when they
depart they will leave uo one behind them in
concern of their future.
We heard of a number of cases of sunstroke
yesterday among the verdant strangers who, un
invited, have recklessly some to see the fashions
and etijoj’ the blazing hot days and deathly damp
nights of New Orleans in the summer time. !n
oae case —thotof a man who dropped ia Maga
zine tsreet—we are informed that death . was in
stantaneous. If tbe heat affects our Northern vis
itors so terribly now, how will they stand Up un
der it in the days coming.
We heard last evening tnat four steam vessels,
from this city—one large a;d three smaller ones
well manned, and having among them a formida
ble number - of black.muzzled bull dogs, were
seen yesterday in tbe vicinity of Red Church, ass
needed the river. Our informant knew nothing
cf the destination of these craft or of their errand,
but he did not hesitate to denounce them, “as
dangerous and suspicious’’ prowlers seeking what
they might devour. We may remark, however,
that he is a man of strong bias.
We learn that the Lyceum Hall, in the upper
part of ‘.he City Hall building, has been occupied
bv the Federais as a military hospital. How very
considerate our Northern visirors are! What
clear ideas they have of the finess of things 1
Their free and easy wavs excite our admiration
Yesterday morning Oda Fellows' Hall was
taken possession of by tbe Federais, aud is now
occupied by a large number of troops

Messrs. Editors: Oar cavalry are now pour

Scott’s exploits on tbe road between Tuscum

Attacking the 19th and 24th Illinois Regiments,
a battery of artillery, and Zimmerman’s cavalry,
near Tuscumbia, Captain Fenelon Cannon, ot
Scott’s Louisiana Regiment, killed, wounded
and captured 50 or 60.
Capt. Cannon’s force was one hundred men,
of which not one was materially hurt.
Pressing forward, Scott crossed the Tennes
see and Elk rivers, and with 160 men attacked
the 18th Ohio regiment, 700 strong, at Athens,
and routed them, killing, wounding and captur
ing 100, taking their camp, tents, ammunition,

°Capt. John Williams pursued one detachment
to Elkton, and Capt. Cannon burnt the Lime

throwing off twenty car loads of coffee, sugar,
rice etc., which he also burnt—killing 20 and

Scott's ammunition now gave out—no rein
foroemeats came up, and Mitchell came on him
from Huntsville with 3,000 men.
In the face of this force Scott recrossed both
Elk and the Tennessee rivers, driving back the
4th Ohio cavalry, 400 strong, who attacked his

THZ LATEST FROM GITX POINT-
The Petersburg Express, of Wednesday, con
tains the following :
Edmund Ruffin, Esq., of Prince George, has
just sent us the following notice ot the move
ments of the Federal flotilla on the James River :
May 13, 8 A. M. —Five steamers are now (8 A.
M.) slowly passing up the river by Berkley wharf.
Four are large, and one sits very low in the wa
er, supposed to be the Monitor. The atmosphere
is hazy, so that we cannot distinguish their flags,
though they are flying. The small boats of the
steamers, five in number, are now sounding 'the
channel over Harrison’s Bar. Harrison’s Bar is
six miles below City Point, and at high tide, ves
sels drawing fifteen feet can pass over. It having
been ascertained that the fleet could easily get
over, the vessels came directly up, heading for
City Point. Our pfokets at the Point perceiving
the intentions and nearness of the gunboats, fired
the depots and warehouses at the Point, and left
on an engine for this city. Several hundred hogs
heads of tobacco, and many other valuable*- were
consumed.
The latest from City Point is, that after landing
a few officers and portions of their crew, who ca
vorted about for a while, ond appeared to be on
the best terms with - a contraband or two who con
descended to speak to them, the party re em
barked, and steamed up the river, with the prows
of their vessel pointing Richmondwaras.
So far as liver “defences” are concerned, we
have the assurance of a gentlemen who recently
tra versed the James from the head of tideswater
tc tbe vicinity of Newport News, for stating that
thea ’ is not so much as a pop gun on either bat«k.
