Up to the boar of this issue we have no
news of the federal occupation of New
Orleans except from rebel sources; vet
the report IS confidently credited We
hope in all goodness it is so, for with New
Orleans in our possession the rebels will be
decidedly weak in the knees. This event
would open the Mississippi entirely to the
government, except slight obstruction at
Memphis, which would speedily be remov-
ed. When the rebels lose New Orleans
they lose great stronghold. 1t is re-
ported that the general commanding the
rebel forces has fed his post and halted
with his army at point some ninety miles
from there on the railroad towards Jack
son, Miss. Commodore Farragut is said
to have told the rebels to haul down their
flag or he would shoot 1t doun Bully for
him, if SO. We cannot say that we have
any reason to doubt the truth of the re-
ported capture of the city, yet there ID
something very strange about it.
At Corinth Beauregard is said to be
prepared for desperate conflict Gen.
Halleck is reported as advancing slowly on
the position of the enemy and battle is
hourly expected. When it comes it will
undoubtedly be the hardest of the cam,
paign. Both armies seem determined on
victory the next time. The hordes of
soldiers on either side warrant us in pre-
dieting bloody job. Like two game-eocks
they both crow over Pittsburgh Landing.
We shall soon see which cock rules the
roost in that section. Our bottom dollar
is staked On Halleck If the rebels are
cleaned out" their career in Tennessee
is about ended; and with Tennessee in
our possession they lose one of their stron-
gest foot-holds.
At Yorktown, Virginia the work is not
progressing much. Gen. Mcclellan is pre-
pairing for second siege of the place.
We expect to hear of somo terrible work
there soon or else some of the tallest
skedaddleing on record.

More Trouble Brewing in Kansas,

Startling as it may appear, says the Chi
cage Tribune, the young state of Kansas
has again fallen upon evil days, and is
again at the mercy of her worst enemies
Martial law exists over the entire State,
and Gen. Samuel D. Sturgis, who would
himself have been rebel but for his g SOL
dier's honor" is the chief prosecutor of
the realm. He is ably seconded by Gen.
Robert B. Mitchell, years ago leader Of
Missouri border ruffians; by Gen. James
Denver, who was Buchanan's Governor to
thrust Leeompton upon the people and
by Gov. Charles Robinson, himself moral
ly and politically bankrupt and even now
under impeachment of his State Legisla-
ture. Letters and papers from Kansas all
bring the same doleful story of reign of
terror for anti-slavery men, and with one
accord foretell gathering storm of fear
full portent. The plot is to democratize
and to degrade Kansas to Danish the old
guard of Freedom and if not to bring in
slavery itself, at least to make Kansas
pro-slavery in sentiment. The St. Louis
democrat, which Is good authority in the
matter. IN speaking of Generals Sturgis,
Mitchell and Denver says "these men
should be removed at once, or we
look for disastrous consequences. 1t is
said that Denver has been appointed to
command the New Mexican expedition
which is composed chiefly of Kansas troops.
Is 1T supposed that the Kansas regiments
can forget the outrages heaped upon them
BY Denver when he was Governor, and can
they respect man who hunted them like
dogs only few years since? He should
have different command immediately
Sturgls and Mitchell should be sent else
where The effect will be, if they stay in
Kansas, to tear open old wounds. revive
former feuds, and arouse ancient nrei-
dlees, which must certainly result in a col

This artillery would equip grand army,
and when 1t is remembered what pains the
rebels have had to procure these guns,
the severity of the loss will be fully ap-
parent. Many ef these guns have been
brought at great expense from England,
having been procured by special agents,
shipped on special vessels, and run the
risk Of capture from our blockading feet
Others have been cast in rebel founderies
at Richmond and Norfolk, after great troub-
lie in procuring iron and workmen. Now,
with all these guns captured, the rebels
have to fall back upon their bell metal, for
their money has pretty well given out, and
it is not safe to risk the blockade nova

Fort PULAsKI.-The re-possession of
Fort Pulaski is an important acquisition,
as it guards the harbor approach to Savan-
nah. The fort is one of the strongest on
the sea coast, and was but recently COM
pleted at cost of 1868. 900. There were
eleven batteries erected from 1900 to 5000
yards from the fort, and after fire of
Is 10 hours from these batteries, the
walls were preached, and the fort surren-
dered, without any loss of life on either
side. There were 500 prisoners taken in
the fort, and an immense quantity of pro-
visions and ammunition. The rebel steam
er Fingal is at Savannah, and they pro-
pose to destroy her on the approach of our
forces There is gunboat on the stocks
at the same place, which will doubtless
meet like fate.

MARYLAND. AS might NATURALLY be ex-
pected, the people of Maryland are begin
ng to wake up to sense of their duty
Since the passage Of the bill abolishing
slavery in the District of Columbia, sever
al eminent and leading me favor emanci-
patton in that state. They readily perceive
that Delaware will avail herself of the
terms Profered by the General Govern
ment, and that when she becomes free
territory, and there will be but little safe
ty for their human property, with it's cum
ming and loeomotion. 1t is expedisnt for
the federal government to hold out special
inducements to Marylend to entice her to
become free state. The experience of
this war has demonstrated the danger of
having slave territory interposed between
the free states and the National Capital
During the first weeks of the war, when
the bridges were destroyed, and Baltimore
was IN open rebellion. it well nigh cost the
Capital itself. 1t has all along exposed us
to imminent danger. The expense of guar
ding the Potomac, to prevent the crossing of
the rebel armies and an attack ON Wash
lngton in the rear by the aid of Maryland
insurgents has been five times as great as
would be that of enancipating all the
slaves in the state,

Floyd and Pillow were denounced as cow

The LEGALITY OF STATE ARRESTS.
Simon Cameron, ex secretary of war, hav-
ing been arrested the other day in Phila-
delphia at the suit of Pierce Butler for
false Imprisonment, secretary Seward has
written toCamcron's counsel intimating that
the government will avow the act of the
late secretary as its own and defend it &C.
cordingly. The trial is to come off in the
Supreme court, Philadelphia, early in May,
and will be every way important as the first
judicial inquiry into the arrests that were
SO frequent months ago. Several hundred
people, Of high or low degree, were arrest
ed and held at Fort Lafayette, despite all
writs of habeas corpus, and most of them
if not all, have since been discharged. In
no instance is it known that any crime
was alleged other than of lukewarmness to
the federal cause. The arrests were made
by telegraph, upon information or mere
suspicion, and without b" due process of
law. 1t was in some respects a revival
Of the letters cachet of the French revolution
The present trial will develope, therefore,
whether this is properly included in the
war power of the government, and as
Pierce Butler is man of wealth and de-
termination, he will spare no effort in the
thoroughness with which his suit will be
prosecuted. 1t is already intimated that
other similar suits are to follow, GER

The ATLANTIC MoNTHLY.-This maga-
zine has not shared the unfavora5le infu-
ence which the war has had upon litera-
ture generally. Since the beginning of the
year more than 10, 900 copies have been
added to its circulatiou,-a result at once
highly satisfactory to it's conductors and
gratifying to the levers of literature.
The conductors of the Atlantic accent
this fact, as well as the unanimous verdict
OF the press for three months past as an
assurance that their magazine has reached
point of excellence which it has never
before attained. They will not, however,
pause in their efforts on this account, but
will constantly strive to advance the stand
ard already established. To tits end they
will 60 on in the same path which has late
ly been followed, and through which the
Atlantic has been led to such general ac-
oeptance. The same thoughtful and pat
riotic political papers, from the best prose
writer's, will continue to lend power and
dignity to its pages; and favorite poets
will evolve from the ever-shifting phrases
of our national affairs the lessons of the
hour. The two great serial features which
have so firmly fixed public attention-Pro-
lessor Agassiz's popular expositions of the
science of Natural History, and James
Russell Lowell's "Bigelow Papers, will be
continued each month.
Still other features of extraordinary in
terest have been provided for the forth
coming number, and the conductors will
always seek to present in the pages of the
Atlantic the best and freshest thoughts
upon all topics.

RESOURCES AND PowER.-We think no
one can doubt the resources and power of
the federal government of the United
States. The late grand victories of the
Union armies efectually wipe out the dis
grace of Bull RIM, and show the nations
of the world the power and strength of
our government-the nerve, pluck and su
perior fighting qualities of our people. No
country IN the world has exhibited. in so
short time, such recuperative power, SO
exhaustless resources, unquestionably the
most formidable military power in the
world-capable of placing in few months
a million of soldiers in the field, tie most
perfect appointments, animated by the
most enrolling sentiments, while our vast
wealth has enabled US to bear the burdens
imposed without telling them to be oppres-
i've. and without injury or disturbance to
our industry
