THE REVIEW AND INSPECTION YEsTERDAY.-The
First Brigade, Col. L. A. Charbonnet, command
ing, in the absence of Gen. Tracy, was inspected
and reviewed yesterday afternoon on Lafayette
Square by Ma. Zen. John l.. Lewis. The brigade
turned out strong, and is always the case with
it, showed to the best advantage both in point of
numbers and efficiency. There were out upwards of
1900 men, which is most satisfactory when it is re-
membered that this brigade has furnished more
men for the war than perhaps any other in the
State The fact is, SO completely has it been broken
up and revolutionized by the patriotism of the
men in it, that it is doubtful if there is single one
of the original Captains left in tall present yes
terday were new men, with very few exceptions.
New Orleans is justly proud of this brigade, for it
has proved its love for her and the State.
ORLEANS BLUEs.-This splendid company, which
was mustered into active service on last Friday,
was out in full force for drill on the streets last
night. and presented beautiful appearance. They
are under the command of Capt Dick Herrick,
and their sodierly bearing and excellence of drill
gave sufficient evidence that they are in good
hands. On the route, in passing the Crescent
office, they halted and gave us a serenade for
which we take this opportunity of returning thanks
Coming from such manly and noble looking com
pany of patriots, the compliment was high one
indeed.
PRISONERS OF WAR ExPECTED.-Two hundred
and fifty prisoners OF war are expected to arrive
here tomorrow morning, from Richmond, by the
Jackson Railroad. Our citizens will thus be af-
forded the sight of a lot of real live Lncolnites.
We will take care of them.
QuERIEs.-We would like to ask the proprietor
of the Dryades omnibus line, whether it is ac
cording to his rules for negro wenches to ride in
his omnibusses, when unaccompanied by white
children, and if said negro wenches are allowed
this privilege, whether not it is expected that
six persons shall find seats each side of the ON
nibusses! We ask these questions first, because on
Sunday night one of the Dryades street omnibusses
was stopped, and two overdressed wenches of the
| status above mentioned got in, the driver knowing
perfectly well that they were negresses all the
| time; and secondly because said two negresses
| occupied the half of one side of the omnibus, and
when ladies stopped the vehicle and attempted TO
find seats, spread their hoops and mpertinently pre-
vented them. If the omnibusses are for negroes,
why not say so? for white people, it is impor-
| tant that it should be known. The number of the
omnibus above mentioned is at the service of the
proprietor if he wants it.
| CARELESS DRIvISG.-We have often noticed the
| break-neck speed with which the drivers of milk
and bread carts rush through the Streets and have
been in constant dread that they would kill some
| body. Yesterday fears were realized, for one
did run over aged lady named Mrs. Michel
| BENT, at the corner of Claiborne and Toulouse
streets, and she was hurt so severely that it is
thought she will die. We did not learn whether
| the Jehu was arrested or not
| TRYING TO GET OUT.-A prisoner confined in the
| Parish Prison made an attempt to escape on Sun
| day night, which came near being successful. The
| man is named Juan Montenegro, and is under SEN
| tence of term in the penitentiary for larceny.
He secreted himself in the sink of the privy until
all the prisoners were locked up, and then COM
| meuced operations upon the wall, and was on the
| eve of having hole sufficiently large to crawl
| through, when he was discovered by the watchman
| and secured.
