The Situation in New Orleans

Mr. UIiel Wright arrived in Chicago from
New Orleans OstOser lot. lie saws the secession
leaders are very close about the army and the
operations In Virginia, and they know but little
more about them in Louisi ana than we do at
the North. His differences are, from the number
OF men who have gone nom Loui lana, that the
re0el force Is az least 200 900 strong. Bu. few
recruits were going forward, us all that 1t was
thought sale to spare from home service are
and Missouri.
Ibere was strong Union feeling in LOUISIANA,
but 1t was Suppressed; yot ready TO trsak out
whenever a sufficient national force for protec
tion should appear. The slaves were quiet, bu,
the inhabitants were under constant appphen
sion Of a rising.
The pCerer class6s suffered terribly, but most
Of the men had gone to the war
This banks were anticipating seizure OF then
specie (of which they held some $l2, OOO,ooo
by the government.
Mr.. Wright confirms the reports OF the en-
ployment OF the Indian tribes OF the sOuthwes
by the secessionists. They expect 10 bring int
the field from five thousand to ten THOUSAND
warriors.
IN regard 70 the general feeling in New Or
leans, Mr.. Wright states that those who wer
most sAnguins few months ago are now de
spending. Many do not hesitate to curse tn
leaders Of the rebellion.
Several cargoes Of coffee had been secured
some Of which were prizes sent in by the priVA
