NEW ORLEANS OURS!

The great metropolis Of the Southwest Ina:
been taken possession of by the Union forces
under command Of Commodore Farragut and
Capt. Porter. We have no particulars, but
from accounts should judge it was bloodless
affair AS far as relates to the commercial
interests of the Northwest, this is the mos,
important achievement of the war. The
mouth of the Mississippi, our great channel
oftrade, is now in our possession. With Com.
Foote pressing down and our feet at the
mouth working up. the river will soon be
clear of rebel distractions. The fall Of New
Orleans also makes Beaurcgard's position at
Corinth precarious one, as he IL in danger
Of an attack in the rear. The telegraphic ac-
counts of the fall of New Orleans come most
ly through secession sources and are very
meagrc. The news Of the capture has been
confirmed by adviccs received by the war
department at Washington. We annex a
description Of the dcrrnscs Of that city, pub
lished in Richmond paper. According to
this the city was considered impregnable
against the pcstifcrous "Yanks' When we
consider the ease and dispatch with which
the city was taken, the following account
seems almost ludicrous:
1.-The Mississippi is fortified so as to be
impossible for any hostile fleet or fo,ia-
Forts jackson and St. Philip arc armed with
ITO heavy guns, (6S Founders rfled, by Bar
kley Brittcu, and received from England y
The navigation of the river is stopped by a
dam of about a quarter Of mile from the
above forts. No tlotilla on earth would force
that dam in less than two hours, during which
it would be- within short and cross range Of
10 guns oftte largest calibre, many of which
would be served with red hot shot, numcr-
Gus furnaces for which have been erected in
every fort and every battery.
g In Il day or two we shall have ready two
iron-cascd floating batteries. The plates arc
tour and a half inches thick, of the best ham
mcred iron, received from England and
France. Each iron-cased battery will mount
twenty GS-pounders, placed so as to skim the
water. and strike the enemy's hull between
wind and water. We have am abundant sup
ply Of inciendiary shells, cupalo furnaces for
molten iron, congreve rockets and fire ships.
Between New Orleans and the forts there
is a constant succession Of earhworks. At
the plain Of Chalmcttc, near Janin's property
there are redoubts, armed with ritled cannon
which have been found to be effective at five
miles range. a ditch thirty fee. wide and
twenty deep extends from the Mississippi to
La Cypricrc.
/" In forts st. Phillip and Jackson there arc
5000 men, of whom goody portion are ex-
pe,ienced artillerymen and gunners who have
served in the navy.
AT New Orleans itself we have 80, 900
infantry and as many more quartercd in the
immediate neghborhood. In discipline and
drill they arc far superior to the Yankees
We have two very able and active generals,
who possess our entire confidence,
Mansfield Lowell and Brigadcr- General Rug

Report Of Brig.-Gen. Hurlbut.

Brighten. lIurlbut commanded the Attn Di
vision at the battle Of PttSburg Landing o,
Shiloh. His report is too long for pubca
ton in these columns. He makes the follow.
ing favorable mention Of Lieut. Sessions, OF
the 3D. Iowa:
Col Pugh desires special mention to be
made Of Lieut. +. Sessions, Of the Third iowa,
\. A. a. @. My own observation confirms
his report, and recommend Lieut. Sessions
to the favorable consideration of the Depart.
mcnt
Speaking Of the Third, he says:
50 great were the casualties among the
officers, that the Third Iowa regiment went
into action on Monday in command Of FRS,
Lieutenant.
No higher praise has been given to any
who fought on that bloody field than TO Brig
Gen. Lauman and his Indiana and Kentucky
regiments:
Brigadicr General J. G. I.auman, com
m,ndng the Third Brigade, took command
early the day before the battle The Brig
adc and their commander know each Other
now. saw him hold the right of my line
on Sunday with this small body Of gallant
men, only l,7l7 strong, for :hrce hours, ant
then, when changed over to the left, rcpe
the attack of twice his force for full hour
of hard fighting, closing by the most gallan,
AMI successful charge, which gave him time
to draw off his force in order and compare
tive safety. His report renders full juStic,
to his officers, among whom Col Reed, of the
44th Indiana was especially distinguished.

White to the Soldiers.

News from home is always interesting -
The most trivial circumstances that occur
there are received by us as very welcome in
forma ton. No class look with so much
anxiety for news from home, from friends left
behind. as the soldier. The tender missives
from dear ones cheer and strengthen his
heart. They are shield about him more
protecting than a coat Of mail. During the
trials of the camp and the field no one needs
so much the sympathy and encouragement
of loved ones as he who has gone forth under
the starry banner. "'Tis sweet to be relnem-
bered" This we all know No heart but
sometimes is clouded by sorrow no life but
has It's days Of darkness and forboding. How
true is this even of us who enjoy all the bless
ings of quiet homes and the dear associations
of those best beloved We can all realize
how much more the life Of soldier is calcu-
lated to call up the clouds, the darkness
and the forbodingS, than are the peaceful lives
we lead at home. Let us realize this, and
with our pen and ink talk to our soldier boys
words of encouragement and love. 1t will
nerve their hearts and strengthen their pur-
poses, and it will, to great extent, throw
around them the influences of home, which
may keep them from many a stray step in
the sins which so beset Il soldiers life.
One of the boys in the Third Iowa writes,
on this subject, to his family here as follows
"If you could only see the effect 1t has on
a man, in camp or on a march, to get letter!
Why you could always recognize the men
who get them often. Ifyou see man STIR
ring about, always lively, singing and whist
ling and aloays prompt, you may know that
that man receives letters. But you see one
drawing himself slowly along. his feet never
off the ground, always on hand at Surgeons
call, but never at roll call, his mouth down at
the corners, his face as long as the Declara-
tiontof Independence, you might ask what
ais that man I? anybody csn tell you, lis
gets 10 letters SO If our friends wish to
have us retain our health, do good fighting,
preserve our morals and live to get home,
they should write to us write long and in.
terssting letters. and write often"

The smoke of the battle of the 9th and I'll
has passed away; the wotnded have beer
cared for and many of them sent to northern
hospitals. For few days past it has beer
pleasant and the roads are now becoming dry
and the army are improving 1t in getting on
their transportation and arranging for a for
ward movement. Daily batteries are being
brought in and sent towards the outer lines
and when all arrangements are completed
at present are but little in advance of wha,
they were previous to the battle of Pittsburg
and presume the line will not be pushed
forward until we arc ready to follow it up
with such energy as to be able to overcome
all obstacles. The possession of Huntsville
by our troops has broken the X. X. line OF
communication between the East and West.
The telegraph has been completed to this
place. The wires pass over our camp and
have their termination little beyond us in
the woods. E- ... .....rr...
The rebel Gen Johnston is buried about
one mile from our camp CD Iowa. and has
fence around his grave The General was
dressed in disguise. His coat was the com
mon grey Of the rebel soldiers, and he wore
slouchcd hat.
Dr. Edwards is no longer a member of the
Iowa Third He did not choose to stand
trial AMI proposition came from some one
that he would resi- yn if the charges were
withdrawn. The resignation was sent in.
when the charges against him were with
drawn, the resignation accepted, and the Dr.
took his departure from Tennessee.
There is strong feeling here among the
soldiers against Gen. Grant for allowing tn
surprise which happened on the 9th. no.
ticc that some of the papers are trying to
cast blame upon Gen. Buell. for not being
here sooner but any one that knows the state
of the country through which Gen. Buell.
marched his army will doubt not that the
Gen. got his forces through with all the haste
possible OF course tn, friends Of Gen.
Grant will enleavor to cast the responsibility
upon some one else; but if Buell. was be-
hind time, it was ne cxcuse for Grant not use
ing due precaution in guarding against sur
prise. On the contrary, he should have used
extraordinary prccauton. 1t is sheer non
sense to make excuses for being surprised
by an army Of 100000 strong. Had our
army been properly formed during Saturday
night and the older troops placed in the
front instead Of the new troops, some of
which had had their guns but a few weeks,
our army would have held their ground and
the enemy been rcpnlsed upon the first day
