The Boston Traveller has obtained the
following condition of things in New Or
leans, from gentleman who left that city.
June 2lst: a.
Although there seems to be but one
sentiment among the people in relation to
secession, yet there are many men Of in
fluence who are in favor Of the Union
No one, however, dares, openly, to avow
Union sentiments. In passing through
the streets, no young men can be seem
They have all enlisted. just above the
city there is camp of several thousand
men. The enthusiasm among the women
and children is very great. Ladies are
selling their jewelry and dresses, and in
some instances even under clothing, with
which 'to, raise money for the soldiers.
There is one regiment iu New Orleans
composed entirely ofcolored men, including
slaves as well as free blacks, the Colonel
of which is named Thomas Zabbitt. Tue
people in and about the city bave no fear
of Instructions, but in the interior Of the
State, there is, it is said, some danger that
the blacks will rise. --...l
Our informant states that everything is
changed in New Orleans. One would
never know by passing through the streets
that there was such country as the Uni
ted States. Every sign, every name aud
everything that ever pertained to our Gov
ernment or the Union have been oblitera-
ted. -
Some of the men who are now in the
Southern army have said, when questioned
as to their opinion of secession, that it was
the ''rankest treason" A large number Of
those who went from New Orleans to Pen
sacola were at that time Union men. 1t
will be remembered that there were seven
of the convention who did not sign the
ordinance of secession. Among this num-
Der was Edward Rozier, a lawyer, who re-
piled, when asked if he would not sign
bringing his clenched fist upon the table,
II will never sign that so help me God,"
and yet that same man is now in the army.
There is one large cotton merchant,
worth 100000, who is now private SOL
der with one of his own clerks for captain
of the company.
Nioe-teulbs, it is said, oflhe men en-
gagged in privatecring are from the North.
Southern Tennessee leather, which usu
ally sells for about l6 cents per pound, is
now selling for SO cents. Great complaint
is made about the high price of flour
row $40 per barrel-and few days before
our informant left, an article appeared in
one of the New Orleans dalies, threaten
ing violence to some large house who were
supposed to be speculating in the article.
