we suppress for Obvious reasons.
The New-Yorker. shrewd business mau of con-
eiderable intelligence, left New0rleaus the Goth
infant lie says that Just before his departure in.
teligence was received In that city that Mississippi
City had been taken possession of by portion of the
bockading fleet. cutting off the daily liue of steamers
plyiog between New-Orle6ns and Mobile by way OF
Lake Ponchartrain. The news, our informant SAYS
created the widest excitement in New-Orleans
eyerybOdy believing that the city would now be at
tackled, and If 30 must speedily fall, as 10 prepare
uons had been made for fire in the rear. The
Tumor may be unfounded, but our informant SAYS IL
was generally believed and that no dispatches were
allowed to be sent tie wires, the telegraph
being in the hands of the military authorities
lie also says that rumors were current III the
IRENE south of descent upon the Texas coast and
it was believed that several places had fallen into
the hands Of the Federal troops.
The other gentleman, to whom refer, has been
for several years connected with the Police Depart
ment of Charleston which place be left about ten
days ago. He was cent TO Nashville to make some
arrests, no suspecting bis loyalty to the Sout
Arriving in that city, armed with the necessary doc
umenis, he represented that lie had some important
! financial matters to attend 10 in Kentucky, and
was granted permit to leave the State Once be-
You'd the State line, he pushed on with all speed to
Lousville and thence this city. He has lett for
! Washington, where he thinks he can be Of great
/ service TO the Government
Files Of New0hean5 papers Of Sept. IL and Mem
| phs and Nashville papers Of the Goth, have been re-
| ceiyed in Boston.
A few DAYS before be left Charleston, a large
number Of Federal prisoners arrived there from
| Richmond and were temporarily placed in jail, prep
aratory to their removal to Castle pincaney. Among
| the number were Colonel Corcoran, of The New
| Ork 70 H. aud Colonies Woodruff and Nell OF the
! Second Kentucky Regiment. Col. COrcorln was
/ heavily uOned, but talked boldly and dciantly TO
the Re els, telling them he hoped once more TO meet
! them on tue field of battle TIE reason giycl for
| irouing the gallant Colonel was, because he was
] Il. cd 10. fNt.a-
spirits up ard our informant says, while in prison,
| they would loudly eng the " Star SpanS!ed Banner
| AID other patriotic airs.
The news Of the Hatteras Inlet affair prodgced q
most depressing effect upon the South Carciinilns
who believe the interest OF the Southern Confedcracy
secondary to those Of the State and think their
troops Virginia shoald be called home at once,
| the " Yankees" muy make Il descent upon them at
/ any time. Our informant represents the South as
united TO a man, and Gays they will fight TO the bitter
| end.
