New ork, Oct. Ill.
A dispatch from New Orleans of the
4th inst, to the Richmond Examiner,
tells of one of the most important achieve
ments of the war so far This informa-
ton is that the Z. s. blockading squadron
have dug a passage through the mud of
one Of the five mouths of the Mississippi
river to the sand spit which commands
the whole five of them, and now have the
Nincennes, Water Witch and two other
vessels of the squadron to protect the
prompt erection of works, which, in less
than week, will command all FIVE of the
mouths, passes, or entrances, to the Miss
issippi river. Once properly built, this
work alone will absolutely control the COM
munication Of New Orleans with the sea,
as completely as blockading squadron of
twenty ships Of war could accomplish that
object.
The Post SAYS troops are rapidly con-
centrating at Annapolis to proceed on the
coast expedition.
A Russian line battle ship, Of 100
guns and 500 men, was lost off the coast
of japan. All the crew reported per-
ished.

place. He also learned that Ben. Nc

80 men, waiting for relnforcements from
Arkansas. A large number of McCul-
loch's force who were with him ut Will
sons Creek, were with Price at Licking
ton, and the rest are with Hardee. Nc

leyed to be entirely reliable

of the Baltimore and Ohio r. K to Cum

military protection to the road.
