The DETENCEs OF New ORLEANs.-A gentle
man who is familiar with the situation and de-
fences of New Orleans expresses doubt whether
the city can be invaded from the sea 80 easily
as has been supposed. The Mississippi river Is
believed to be amply protected by Forts Jack
son and Philip. The approaches by way of
Lakes Borgne and Ponchartrain are we'll
guarded. Forts Pike and Wood, which COM
msnd the two channels leading from the former
into the latter lake, are formidable structures,
each mounting fifty heavy guns, with double
bitches and bomb-proof easements. Vessels
approach Fort Pike through narrow channel,
which is commanded for six miles by ,he raking
fre of the forts.
The point where the British landed, which is
In bayou leading out Of Lake Borgre, is COM
manded by strong battery, open, however, at
the rear. There is also strongly fortified
tower on the shore of Lake Ponchartrain, com
manding the entrance to creek extending into
the main land twenty seven miles below New
Orleans.
Our informant thinks that Fort Pike might
be silenced by landing force at the mouth of
Pearl river, and bombarding it from the oppo-
site shore.
The naval forces which have sailed up the
entrance to New Orleans through Lake Bergne
are not 80 unpleasantly situated as many have
supposed. The coast is healthy, and in the
winter season the region abounds In ducks,
geese, and other wild fowl, and at all seasons
Of the year with oysters, crabs, redfish, cat
| fish, &c. '

FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.


PANAMA.-There has been some fighting on
the Isthmus between the partisans of Nosquera
and Ospua The Panama Star and Herald, Of
the 4th instant, says:
Panama was again on the eve of revolu-
ton on Monday night last, but as usual the ex-
citement calmed down with out any serious
damage being done.
1t appears that the Governor Of the State
had ordered the soldiers from Rio Hache,
about one hundred In number, to lay down
their arms, fearing trouble between them aud
some of the natives of Panama This the Rio
Hacheros refused to do, and the result was that
the Governor was obliged to call out the mill.
tia to carry out his orders, giving the soldiers
until seven o'clock on Tuesday morning to
obey. During Monday night, sentinels were
placed at the different corners Of the streets,
and picket guards throughout the city. Firing
was kept up during the night, but nobody hurt.
To prevent an attack on foreign property, the
commanders Of the British, French, and United
States vessels of war in the bay had their boats
well manned, and kept them afoat near the
city, so as to be ready to land In the event OF
their services being required, but seeing the
whole affair was likely to end In peace, they
withdrew their forces their object being soleiy
to protect their own countrymen ana other
foreigners requiring their aid.
The aueling OF this disturbance, 1t was
thou Qht. would remove all obstacles to legis
latiye vote in favor Of the treaty lately made
securing the quasi independence of the 18th
mus. Probably by this time 1t has become an
accomplished fact.

A NOBLE WONAN.-The Jefferson City cor
respondent of the st. Louis Democrat Of the
11th, says:
evening by the arrival of Mrs. Colonel Ellis,
from Upton, bearer Of dispatches from Gen.
Hunter and Col. Ellis. She was dressed in a
semimilitary riding habit and hat, with Grim
son cash thrown around the left shoulder, as
an officer of the day, mounted on a splendid
charger, and attended by two orderlies. She
had ridden forty-five miles since ten o'clock
aud without taking moments rest, delivered
her orders at camp, and then waited upon
Gen. 7. L. Price with her dispatches, urging
forward two s1uadrons of Col. Elliss com
mand, now here, to rejoin the regiment at
Upton.

The Richmond papers say, ia disparagemeot
Of General McClellsn's abilities as a military
man, that after his success in Western Virginia,
he might have advanced into the Valley Of
Virginia, and have captured Stsunton, with
out meeting resistance II General Mcclellan |
had been master Of bis own actions In aat
particular, this criticism might be well made,
but 1t is known that be personally desired TO
advance to Staunton, but was restrained by |
orders from headquarters here, issued In ref
erence to the general plan Of the campaign.
From Western Virginia we have recent re-
ports Of sharp fight (the third reported) at
Chapmanville on the Guyandotte, and OF an
unsuccessful rebel attack upon steamer going
up the Kanawha to Charleston, with supplies
for the army Of General R"secrans. These facts,
with others, show how strong and tenaciou"
the secession element Is In Western Virginia.
We took occasion to say the other day, that.
from all the information which we could get,
the Union feeling was quite as strong, in the
Valley of Virginia, as in Western Virginia,
and that, 40 far a. the good will Of the popula.
ton Is concerned, the Valley, or, at any ra'c,
the northern half Of it, might have been occn-
pied as easily as the Trans Allegheny region.
This view of the subject is confirmed by a
budget Of news from that quarter, in last even
ing's Star which insists that the driving Of The
enemy from Manassas would enable the people
Of Loudoun, Jefferson, Morgan, Frederick aud
Hampshire counties, to free themselves from
the tyranny of the Richmond cabal, resting, as
that tyranny does, upon foreign bayouets
brought up from the Gulf. We have never
doubted that this was so. Manassas Junction
is the key to the northern part Of the Vail y
of Virginia, so far as the Richmond junto is
concerned and ought to have been occupied
within forty eight hours after our troops crossed
the Potomac in May last. The failure to seize
Manassas at that time, led to the disaster OF
July, at Bull Run.
From Rolla, Missouri, we have a batch o
reports of national successes, which, II hal
true, portend the speedy suppression OF the re
bellion in Missouri, which was never 80 tormi
dable as It was said to be in the first moment
of despondency, after the loss of Lexington
The az, 900 rations " issued to General Price
army, at Lexington, was one of those fable
accepted only by those persons who suppose
that armies drop from the clouds 1t certainly
never exceeded 10000 men, and, excluding ir
regular rhangers-on, never amounted to half &C
many.
We have bad news from New Orleans, in re
laton to our blockading feet The news comes
through secession channels, and Is to be taker
with many allowances; but we regret to b'
obliged to believe that we have suffered SOM
disaster in that quarter.

Hale Smith. the New York correspondent of
the Boston Journal, "has on sale 10000 guns,
for which he asks the price Of s25, and will get
all he asks. The history of these muskets is
instructive. They once belonged to the Gov
ernment, but the bore was thought to be too
small. and the officer at Washington, in whose
charge they were, sold them to Mr.. Colt, and
took bis pay Ia pistols. The guns are now in
the market. The Government need them. The
price is $40 more than Colt paid for them, and
that, too, in pistols. He will get all he de-
mands.'

&C., to say nothing Of thousand other things,
used by men Of war, but to-day, we saw the
last siAe, and probably the best 1t is the
invention of German, and is brought to this
city by Mr. Lee, of Philadelphia, who desires
the Government to order enough to arm few
regiments It Is a breech-loading rifle, weighs
but elk and half pounds-will load with
cartridge, or with powder and ball, in the old
way 1t uses but thirty five, instead OF sixty
grains of powder, and carries a conical ball,
weighing two and half drachms the sights
are unobstructed, because the lock is on the
under side of the barrel 1t is entirely water
proof, and being simple in It's construction, is
not liable to get out Of order ; 1t will.answel
we'll for careless soldiers, as 1t requires nc
cleaning, "a each ball cleans the chamber as i
passes out. 1t also primes itself, and canno
mics fire. Its peculiar construction renders l
more easy to carry than ordinary guns, ant
take it altogether, it is the best rifle for hunt
ing rebels, we have yet seen.
