despatch.
MOBILE, April 81.
The enemy passed Fort Jackson at a
o'clock yesterday morning. When the news
reached New Orleans the excitement was
boundless. Martial law was put in full force
and business was completely suspended.
All the cotton and steamboats,, excepting
such as are necessary to transport coin, am
munition, &C., were destroyed.
AT one o'clock to-day, the telegraph
operators babe us goodbye, saying that the
enemy had appeared before the city. This
is the last we know regarding the fall. We
will send you the particulars as soon as they
can be had"

THE VICTORY AT NEW ORLEANS.
WASHINGTON, April 81.
The news from New Orleans, which ha
come through several Rebel sources,
deemed here to be of the utmost importance
What old England failed to do with all he
power has been handsomely accomplished b.
New England.
The manner in which the success at Fort
Jackson and Philip was followed up is highl
commended. In thirty hours our brave me
consumated their victory and appeared befor
the great city of the Southwest to receive it
submission. This is but foretaste of tn
Southwestern operations.
No mention is made by the Rebels of thei
iron-clad turtles and rams that were to ami
hilate the Yankee fleet, which leads to
suspicion that the common estimate of tn
Rebel motive power, from their own misreT
resentations, has been mistake. 1t It's prett
clear that on this occasion they were S
frightened thnt they could not stop to cor
ceal the truth.

eD3Our neighbor of the Breckenridge
Democrat publishes an uncorected paragraph
from our paper, containing some typograph-
ical errors, so apparent that they arc such,
that any school-boy could see that they were
caused by misplaced type. We confess that
we are sometimes careless in our proof, but
an editor must be hard up to criticise such
as errors. But the most amusing phase of
this learned critics effort is the fact that in
the very paragraph by which he attempts to
show, what everybody could see was u
typographical error, he makes two egregious
blunders, not typographical, but genuine,
stolid asinine blunders, in the word disciple,
which he twice spells deeiph. We quote
the entire paragraph as profound specimen
of learning and erudition.
While we are at it we might as well tell
this Cobb's spelling book DECIPLE that
"Treasurs sales" as he has it, should be
spelled Treasurer's sales, and that erpenditiOn
mightbe spelled expedition. He also has
"Orignating" which is rather .original, and
is by everybody else, (Cobbs DEclPLEs
propably excepted,) spelled originating,
'sVo"D V"'oi Pituner, II is proper to say we
were informed. months ago, that pitcher
had been presented, and that Mr.. Purdy and
another individual of similar southern pro-
clivities, called on their friend, Parson
Hedges, to know which he preferred, q gold
headed cane or silver pitcher. This, in
connection with Purdy's announcement in
his paper of the 18th Of July, that such a
thing was intended, led us to suppose it was
done. But the fact that Parson Hedges
did not get the Pitcher at the time intended,
and not until after his disoyal vote, in con.
ference is almost conclusive evidence that
without that vote, the Pitcher might still
nave remained, to use our neighbors latin,
in "statuquO."

afterwards declined. Mr.. Miller has been

Mr.. Miller is dcservedly popular man, and

THE AUDITORS OF UPPER AUGUSTA.
We observe in the last issue of the Breck-
inridge Bible that our neighbor Purdy has
devoted nearly column of matter to this
subject and ourselves, in which, as usual,
he displays his asininc qualities, and in
order that there may be pair of the long
cared gentry in the same team, he puts the
collar and harness ON his very obsequious
friend James Bachelor, who submissively
subscribes his name to the statement pre-
pared by the learned and erudite Truman.
Now, if either of this inimitable pair had
half as much discrimination as they have
blind alteration for Southern chivalry, they
might have seen that they had no cause OF
complaint against us. We found no fault
whatever with the editor Of the Democrat
for publishing the advertisement, nor did
Mr.. Campbell. We did not even read the
advertisement until it was in print, and in
the notice We stated distinctly that it was
made at the request of the board. The fact
is, it was simply question of veracity be-
tween Mr.. Isaac Campbell and Mr.. james
Bachelor, as any one of ordinary discern
ment might have seen, and it is, perhaps
not hazarding much TO say that where both
are known, Mr. Campbell will hardly fee
that his reputation is endangered by any
conflicting statement made by Mr.. Bachelor
We care very little about Mr. Bachelors
opinions on any subject, but as he has an
itching for newspaper notoriety, it may be
well enough, perhaps, to remind him that
he is not an A. b., or Bachelor of Arts, that
he should be so ready to run a tilt with an
editor, although he may be an A. S. s.
which, if it is more agreeable, he may con
strue to mean an animal more noted for its
length of ears than its intellect.
1t is true, when Mr.. Campbell stated how
Mr.. Bachelor had, contrary to an express
understanding, taken the advertisement tc
the Breckinridge or bogus Dcmocrat we felt
somewhat indignant, and remarked that il
Voc i"'hNi az iSi"tS''i iSiu4'"i ioi NV vi
Fix years subscription TO the AMERICAN
but as Mr.. B. had spent number of years
in the South, he had, no doubt, contracted
some of the peculiar habits Of the chivalry
which impaired not only his memory, but
his ideas in regard to pccuniary obligations
1t was, therefore, as natural for him to take
the aforesaid advertisement to the Breckin
ridge Office as it was for q duck to take tC
the water.
In corroboration of what we have sale
we refer our readers to the statement o
MesSrs Campbell, Snyder and Smith.
