REOUPERATED.-We have received a copy
Of the issue of the New Orleans True Delta
Of May 5th. It is half sheet, printed on
dark, dirty looking, and very inferior paper
But few advertisements appear in its col
umns, and its contents are mainly of selec-
ITEMS of miscellany almost antedeluvisn in
age. The local department indicates any
thing but high state of morality and order
in the city, and charges the Federal soldiery
with drunkenness and numerous disturb
ances. The city is represented as in dos
titute condition, and three notices appear
from Gen. Butler permitting boats convey
ing provisions from points not occupied by
our troops TO come up to the city. From the
appearance of the paper and its contents,
the conclusion is inevitable that the once
proud and wealthy metropolis Of the Gulf
has been sadly shorn Of its strength by the
rebellion, and reduced TO q condition Of
lamentable misery and wretchedness.

FIGHT AT FRANKLIN.
CAMP FRANKLIN, Oct.

CAMP FRANKLIN, Oct 6, 1862.
Mr. EDITOR: The Regiments of Colonels Mar
shall and Ferebee were awakened from their slum.
bers early on last Friday morning by the boom of
cannon, heralded from three mortar gun boats. The
bugle sounded, and we were soon in our saddles.
A few minutes more and we were within few
PAGES of their guns pouring most destructive fire
into the windows doors, port holes, and every other
place where Yankee dared to show his face. We
fought them hard and stubbornly for four long
hours, amidst the rain of shot, shell and grape
when they were forced to retire. after having lost,
according to their own Acknowledgements, two hun
dred in killed and wounded. Our loss was three
men slightly wounded.
Scarcely had the echo of their cannon died away,
before we were again summoned to the field of con-
fict alone with our (Col Ferrebee's Regiment when
Capt. Edward Graham, with his Battery, aided by
Capt Wright's Rocket Battery, opened upon the
advancing foe. After two hours brave fighting with
artillery they were driven back in confusion leav-
ing behind them arms, ammunition, clothing, and
one piece of artillery carrying off their killed AND
wounded, supposed to be some sixty or eighty.
We lost only one man wounded slightly.
The force of the enemy in the evening fight was
about $500 men, with pieces Of Artillery. We
had only about 900 men engaged.
Yours truly,
CLIPPER.
