Specials to N. York papers say the Pres
ident has received dispatches from sources
altogether different from that through which
information came yesterday, confirming the
capture OF New Orleans. 1t removes very
materially the doubts which were excited
in the minds of some as to the entire rella-
bllity Of the rebel kilograms.
There is reason to believe that there has
been a discussion in the Treasury Departs
respecting the rollcy of raising the blockade
of the Southern ports, Immediately on their

There is assurance by q gentleman known

Information has been received which rem.

rebe; force in the neighborhood ready to
dispute McDowelPs progress toward Rich.
