shall now hear witness 10 the truth and Jus.
ice Of the remark
NewOrleans WAS pointed out by the
National huelHgenter 10 ne enemy as long
ago as last spring, as the most open 70 al.
tack, Of any place in the United States and
accordingly an attack was meditatd upon
it. Ofthis the government had every reas,
on 10 entertain strong suspicious early IN
the Autumn /; and such was the cilcun-
5tantial information received, even publicly
circulated and talked OF, that il seemed as
ii they were under an lntatuution, which
prevented them from taking any measures
Tor its defence. They in fact left to lis tate
this key Of the Mississippi and plvce Of
immense importance, on account Of the
great mass Of property ether owned or &C.
cumnlated there. But more especially il
was a place, that, ifonce acquired BY the E
nemy,it would not be easy, il possible, I, 0
wrest it from MS hands, and which, while il
remained in bis possession would inevitably
command The Western States, and rroba-
bly,, in the end would have dismembefed
them from the Union. The administers
ton were awakened from their lethargyS by
the information that the enemy had entered
The mouth Of the river Mobile in great
force. here were only five miserable
gunboats to oppose them, and which, after
severe coafict we captured. General

To conclude this number: IF during the

tanning one object for which il was profess
