Ln,c and Interesting from New Orlcnn,

t'hi' hhu interesting from New Orleans
We had long conversation yesterday with
very intelligent man, who has resided in
New Orleans for number Of years, and loft
there only ten days since. His statements may
be relied on.
He says there are now about four thousand
troops in the city. The rumor of an inlende 4
attack by the United States troops, agitates
the community AZ often as once a week, and
delights full half Of the population. Our
informant believes that nearly all tho mechanics
aud laboring men are for the Union aud a ma
jorty Of the merchants also.
Many of the latter were originally secession
lists, but the blockade and consequent utter pros
tration Of business had made them painfully
conscious OF their error. The blockade h Is
been rigidly carried out. For a long time not
a single vessel has passed it, the reports OF the
southern papers to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Great distress prevails. Thousands are out
Of employment aud free market has been put
in operation. II is open twice a week, and about
four thousand persons get their supplies from it,
The negroes have In some places acted sus-
piciously, and several outbreaks that bid fair TO
become formidable, have been suppressed.
In conclusion, we were assured that one de-
cisiye Northern victory will rouse the now con-
cealed Unien sentiment at the South. No one
at the South is aware Of tho true condition of
things at the North, and our informant was
happily disappointed in finding no m lbs, no
discomfort, and no starvation in Ohio.-CiH.
