The Tribune's dispatch says;
Garibaldi has rendered his services to
the Federal Government through the
American Consul at Genoa, and Secretary
Seward says his offer is accepted, and the
rank of Major General is rendered to the
noble Italian.
John Bigelow, late editor Of the New
York Evening Post has been appointed
Consul to Paris.
Gen. Wool is certainly ordered to assume
command at Fortress Monroe.
Herald's dispatch:
Prince Napoleon was cordially received
at Manassas, and reviewed about 5000
rebel troops. He WAS pressed by Beaure-
gard and johnson to visit Richmond, but
declined. Some Of his suite report about
$4,000 troops at Manassas. They are dir
ty, ragged, and look half starved.
Tribunes dispatch;
Gov. KirkwoOd, Of Iowa. is here TO pro-
cure the Governments endorsement Of his
States bonds, to raise money to equip her
forthcoming regiments.
Prince Napoleon's experience at Manas-
sas was not such as to create very fa-
vorable opinion of the rebels or their cause.
His opinion of the rebel commanders be
expressed as follows: Gen. Beauregard
has very much show, much pomp; many
people are after him, with much noise
Have not very high appreciation of him
as military man; but he is very much Of
a gentleman. Gen. Johnston is very quiet
and unassumiug man, but brave, and
think fine officer. You can tell that by
his looks. But my impression Of the troops
Is very bad.
Worlds dispatch:
In order to prevent the rebels having
Communication with Washington, market
men are not allowed to enter the city. The
bridges across the Potomac are impossible
except at certain times for Government
purposes.
Times correspondence
Our correspondent on board the slOop of
war Brooklyn, off the mouth of the Missis-
sippi, gives some interesting information
relstive to the condition Of affairs at New
Orleans, derived from deserter from the
rebel army who made his escape down the
Mississippi. He reached the vessel in
safety after considerable hardship. The
city, according TO his accounts, is in q
fearful condition Of terrorism, caused by
uduus VI Sul NuEOdL bOlul5fb eldJlOu6u
there, who are in most complete state of
decentralization, and commit acts Of the
basest nature. Houses had been entered,
families broken up. and men had been
threatened with the direst vengeance un
less their wants we're supplied. Provisions
of every character were very scarce, and
consequently very high, and many Of the
poorer portions Of the community were
suffering terribly.
Notwithstanding thespparent unanimity
of the people on the question Of secession,
there is streng Union element under the
surface. which only awaits the proper OPP
pnrtunity to make itself known and terri
bly, felt
The man from whom this information
was derived confirms the reports which
have heretofore reached US relative to plans
for the destruction Of the Brooklyn and
other blocksding vessels.
