THE NEWS FROM NEW O.rILEANS.

The intelligence from New Orlc :ans is really
" wonderful if true." We are, however, inclined to
adopt the theory advanced by the .Nev v York Times,
and think that if Hollins engaged ou r ships he was
induced to withdraw his " little mosq nitro fleet of 16
guns and 300 men" as rapidly as p. a.ssible. Also,
that, finding that the batteries on the Sand Spit
commanding the five passes were really as effective
as the despatch of the 4th inst. predict: 3tl they would
be, Hollins determined to risk an eq.; agement, and
attacked the vessels protecting the bit tteries. The
40 guns which the Federal fleet are r presented to
have` had were probably those of 1;. he Vincennes,
Preble, and Water Witch. The bloc azade fleet off
New Orleans at the last accounts co ,nsisted of the
above named vessels, with. the Niagara, Savannah,
and Richmond. It is by no means is aaprobable that
the sensation despatches from the Sol Ith with which
we have recently been favoured al re intended to
have a depressing effect upon the No; rth, and to pro-
duce a hope of ultimate triumph at t he South. The
rebels have now to resort to ever3r stratagem in
order to keep up the courage of theii! troops. The
" gentlemen" of the Southern States are beginning
to learn that the blow so long itm pending must
speedily fall, and they already fee: r its crushing
effect. Whenever, therefore, they r meet with a re-
verse it is their policy to paint tl le story in its
brightest colours, in order that th .e people may
believe in the utter demolition of a Federal
fleet of 40 guns and 1,000 men by a
" little Confederate mosquito fleet of! 16 guns and.
300 men." The little steamer which is re-
ported as having sunk the Preble was formerly
known as the Enoch Train, was built in Boston, and
employed in the harbour of New Or ileans as a tug-
boat. A large reward being offered tc ► any one who
should succeed in destroying the F' ederal fleet, a
party of ingenious mechanics determi, ned to prepare
the Train for that purpose. Accord..ingly, she was
thoroughly protected with bomb and ;s hot-proof iron
casing, a roof of iron covering the boat, and the
bow strengthened to resist any collisi I in. Powerful
machinery was then placed on boars 1, and the in-
genuity of the mechanics was putt o the test in
order to complete this formidable engine of destruc-
tion. As it was intended to be driven at its fullest
speed against the side of a ship, an iron ram pro-
jected from the bow, and directly beneath this was
an admirably constructed weapon having three
claws, encircling a large augur., The claws
were intended to fasten into the side of the
vessel attacked at the momenb of o ollision, while
the augur, driven by an engine, was intended
to bore a hole in the side. The operation, if
successful, could be renewed by mea Els of a jointed
shaft, so that a large number of holes could be bored
within a small circumference. If I;.he Preble has
been sunk by this ram, as reported, she was pro-
bably in a position from which she c. 3 uld not defend
herself, or in which she could not avoid this artifi-
cial mosquito.—New York Commercrial Advertiser.
