States. mainly in New Orleans, which city nc ie't

Tennessee and Kentucky. With
~ other Northerners he left New Orleans, hav-

Mr.. Daniels gives about the same view OF the
condition Of things in the South that We hayo
,ften received. He says that the Northern peo-
Die have NO conception Of the reign Of terror
existing there, forbidding everything like dis I
custom Of any political question, or even indi-
vidual opinion. He thinks that full one-third.
fnot larger portion of the citizens Of New
Orleans would joyfully rally around the stars
md stripes, and fight for them and the Union.
4 they had an opportunity offering any reasons
able assurance Of putting down the desperadoes
under whose rule they arc now suffering so ter
ribly. He says that the Union people there
nave been longing and waiting for months Tor
The relief which now seems 80 near at hand.
Under the direction of the traitor Twiggs, the
most active measures are now being taken to
protect New Orleans from the expected invading
Force. Three regiments have been employed for
some tine in this work, and many Of the guns
received by the Bermuda are being placed be-
hind entertainments. Mr.. D. says the city is now
effectually blockaded, both from the Mississippi
and the Northern route through the lakes and
Chandelier Bay. The effect Of this would ba
most severe upon all classes if no further steps
we're taken and would soon reduce the inhabit-
ants, IS 10 food to the consumption Of the very
few articles of home product.
Mr.. D. thinks that the opening Of two or three
Southern ports like New Orleans, Mobile and
and the restriction of trade TO loyal
citizens, would DO the most effective step to-
wards reviving and strengthening the Union SEN
timent in the South. The moment that the
people find the rebel leaders are unable to con-
troll their commerce, and especially unable to
withhold the cotton from England and France,
that moment the back Of the rebellion will be
broken and the hopelessness Of despair will take
the place of the blind infatuation which has so
long held the mass of the rebels at the aictation
of the leading traitors.

TrOUBLE ON THE YANcToN REsERvx.-A few
days since the Indians upon the Yancton reserve
appealed to their agent, Mr. Burleigh, for pow
der and riaes with which to equip themselves
for hunt. Mr. Burleigh furnished them lber-
ally with the desired articles, retaining we be-
lieve, only two or three kegs Of powder to meet
any emergency that might arise. The lnaians
that he had not given them all the
DO gder in his possession determined to give the
agent trouble About three hundred warriors,
armed and painted themselves in true Indian
war style, placed hay around the buildings at
the agency, and threatened to burn them
Seeing from their numbers and manner thai
danger was to pe apprehended, the agent dis.
patched a messenger to Fort Randall Tor assist
ancs, and in few hours Lieut.. Tannatt with
company of regulars arrived to the great sur
prise and terror of the Indians. At last ac-
counts the troops were at the agency and all
was quiet-f Register, Sioux City.

MODEL REsoLUrIoN.-The Mount Vernon News
says the following resolution was actually passed
at recent meeting of Capt Hepburn's COM
pany:
Resolved, That Capt Hepburn shall drink all
the whisky, and Chaplain Trusdell shall do all
the swearing.
Though at first sight this looks,,decidedly self.
ish and would appear to have bad effect on
the Captains straishtforwardness and the Chap
lains morals, still it is better for to be drunk
than all-for one to swear like pirate than the
whole regiment, and We submit the above reso,
luton to soldiers who are about going into Camp
Union as worthy of their consideration. -Du
