From LOuIsIana--The True State of
the Case.
A letter written by former resident of
New York, to his mother, dated Algiers,
April Is, says:
Owing to the disturbed state of affairs, there
is an almost total suspension of business,
and more than three-quarters of the mechan-
les of this place are now idle, and have
been for months past. There is great deal
of discomfort at the manner in which af-
fairs have been conducted. The authorities
fear an insurrection in the city of New Or
leans, and the military are ordered to be
ready to turn out at q moments warning.
The papers try to convey the idea to the
North that the South is unanimous in favor
of secession, but this is not so Among my
acquaintance, [ may safely say, that over
four-fifths are in favor of the Union. There
is now great excitement about war. Troops
are being sent to Pensacola as fast as they
can be raised. They have been enlisting (or
trying to enlist) men for several months
but, by even offering bounty of $40, they
have been unable to raise a regiment. They
have now called upon the volunteer militia
companies, and, under the excitement of the
last few days, several companies have vol
unteered their services, and are off for Pen
sacola, where, doubt not, many will leave
their bones.

TRAIToRs AT WoRK.-A singular discov-
cry was made at the Washington Navy
Yard on Monday A certain battery, one
of the most important in the Yard, had
been, before that time, in charge of some of
the militia of the District When the regu-
lar gunuers took charge they examined the
condition of the guns. In every gun peck
of saw-dust was found crammed tightly into
the breech, "in the place where the ball
ought to be-" The authorities supposed, of
course, that these guns were all loaded with
ball, and depended upon them to repel any
attack that might be made upon the Navy
Yard. Suppose the Navy Yard had been
attacked before the saw-dust was found,
what then? Let every gun be frequently
examined Washington Correspondent Phil

Preparations at CharIestOwn Navy
Yard.

Preparations at CharIestOyvn Navy
Yard.
The Boston journal gives the following
account of the war preparations at Charles
town Navy Yard;
The increased activity in the Naval De-
partment of the Federal Government, begins
to be felt at the Navy Yard at Charlestown.
Orders were received there on Thursday to
fit the steam frigate Minnesota for sea as
soon as possible. There are now over
eight hundred men employed in the yard,
the larger part of them upon this vessel.
The force of work men has been increased
one hundred within day or two.
The Minnesota is a fine steamship of 3, 200
tons, mounts forty guns, and her compile
ment is six hundred men. She was built
in 1855 at Washington, and has made one
cruise to China. She returned in 1859,
and since that time has been lying in her
present position. A month will suffice to
get her in readiness for sea. The Mississip-
pi will be the flag ship of Commodore
Stringham, who, it is surmised, will COM
mand the home squadron. The other prin-
cipal officers are Captain Van Brunt of Bos-
ton; Commander Augustus L. Case of New
York. Commodore Stringham is expected
at the yard the first of next week.
The steamship Mississippi, which will
carry four nine-inch guns, is in process of
preparation for sea. She is of l ZOO tons
burden, and was built in l841. A short
time only would be necessary to put her in
complete trim. The Colorado, war steam
er of forty guns, and Of 3, 400 tons burden,
is likewise nearly ready for sea. The brig
Bainbridge is already fitted, and :awaits
he officers and men. Orders were transmit
ted to prepare this vessel a month ago. She
is 259 tone, carrie six 32's, and 70 men,
when fully armed.
1t is not known at the yard from what
quarters the men are to be obtained for the
Minnesota, or the other vessels in readiness
or to be prepared for sea at the yard. At
this naval station there are about one hun
dred marines and a few in the receiving
ship. Orders, however, were received from
the Department to-day, to commence the
enlistment of recruits.
