The New Orleans True Delta of July 10 has
two characteristic articles, containing bold denun-
Citations of the duplicity and mbecility OF the rebel
lppdara 0na rnf IN fto f,d
bling Of the Congress Of the Confederate States in
Richmond on the goth inst, Of the future of which
no very sanguine anticipations are entertained If
the State OF Louisiana, il says is to be taken as
sample OF the way things have been conducted,
the result shows treasury collapsed, great city
comparatively defenceless, people full Of chi
valrous feeling discouraged, md On ardent and
jealous local militia disappointed and disguised
1t suggests that the provisional government
should immediately organize the local military
strength, under the direction of capable and
intelligent military officers, to which should be
temporarily attached such scattering material as
may be found unemployed in adjacent States, SO
as to familiarze 1t for any duty the future may
quire of 1t. The other article shows the absurdity
of the donation reliance; states that the men who
have managed to get the country into the war
have proved themselves utterly incapable Of carry
ing the rebel States safely and honorably through
it, and asks why should not the people awake at
once to the opportunity that win present, to
find other men more fit to carry them with honor,
glory and success to q triumphal termination OF
all their troubles! 1t is quito likely that the indig.
nation Of the people of the rebelious States will
recoiI upon the rebel leaders who have madiy led
them into this unfortunate war.
