very much Of a gentleman. Gen. Johnston is

Our correspondent on board the soop Of war
Brooklyn, off the mouth Of the Mississippi, |
gives some Interesting information relative to
the condition Of affairs at New Orleans, de- |
rived from a deserter Of the rebel army who |
made his escape down the Mississippi He
reached the vessel in safety after considerable
| hardship. The city, according to his account /
1 is in fearful condition o. terrorism, caused /
! BY the bands of cut throat soldiers stationed /
/ there, who are in most complete state OF de- /
/ moTalization, and commit acts OF the basast [
nature. Houses had been entered, families |
broken NJ, and men had been threatened with |
the direst vengeance unless their wants were
( supplied. Provisions Of every kind were verv |
| scarce, and consequently very high, and many
Of the poorer portions Of the community were |
| suffering terribly
notwithstanding the apparent unanimity Of |
the people on the question Of secession, there |
| is strong Union element under the surface
which only awaits the p.opsr opportunity to
| make itself known and terribly felt. The man
from whom this information was received con- !
firms the reports which have heretofore reach
| ed Us relative to the plan for The destruc-
tion Of the BTookyn and other blockading
vessels.
The secretary Of war has sent letter to
Gen. Butler in reply to his communication re-
gaTdiDg the disposition of fugitives The let
ter, after discussing the matter pretty freely,
concludes by saying: "Under these circuu-
stances it seems quite clear that the substan-
tjal rights Of loyal masters are stlil best bro
tected by receiving such fugitives, as well as
those Of disioVai masters, into the service of
the United States, and employing them under
such organizations and such occupations s
circumstances may suggest or Teqaire-of
course record should be kept, showing the
name and description of the fagtives, and
such facts as may be necessary for a correct
understanding Of the circumstances Of each
case.
"When tranquility shall have been restored. i
congress will properly provide for all persons
thus received into the service of the Union and
for Just compensation to loyal masters. You
will, however, neither authorize nor hermit
any interference by the troops uncer your
command with the servants Of peaceabIe citi-
zeDs in house or field, nor will you in any wav
! encourage such servants TO leave the lawful
service OF their masters, nor will you prevent
the voluntary return OF any fugitive TO the
