New Orleaus EurnI .hing ysiunteers.
The troops are principally New Eng
land men, with the addition of the First
Louisiana Union volunteers, enlisted un-
der the Federal authority and put into the
field, and including large number of re-
cruits who have enlisted in the New Eng
land regiments.
General Butler has not permitted the
ranks of his regiments to be materially
thlnned. He has recruited them from tie
population Of New Orleans. At present
such recruits are In the different COM
panies Of almost every regiment and bat :
terry under General Buffers command
and nearly, if not quite. equal the num-
Der Of men who have been discharged or
been killed.
Six New Orleans regiments, including
the lst, which has been fully orga nized
are forming Two or three are far advanced
towards completion. The regular gov
eminent advance bounty of $95. with a
months advance pay, form the pecuniary
inducement to enter the ranks. The State
OF Louisiana offers no bounty at present.
1t is believed that these troops will do
good service.
THE CITY SAFE.
| The city is deemed to be entirely safe.
| According to the order Of Gen. Butler
| (already ,,ublished) all the arms of the
citizens have been surrendered. Up to
Saturday, before the steamer sailed, men,
black and white, were carrying them in to
the designated places from every diree-
ton. Thus the seccssi nists have been
dIsarmed. No help 10 The confederates

story extensively circulated, that the rebel
inhabitants of New Orleans would co.

attack should be made, and that they

their property, including the entire city,
for the sake OF driving out our forces, i.

The FIRST public parade Of the LIST regi.
gment of Louisiana Union volunteers took
place in the city of New Orleans yester-
day, "Wednesday, August q, 1862. The
troops looked finely, and during their
long march from the barracks to Canal
street Ca distance Of four miles, were
ogled and eyed by thousands Of Creole
ladies. After rest of four hours in the
city the troops set out for Carrolton to
report to Colonel and acting Brig. Gen
Dudley, to whose command they are to
be attached. We anticipate good deal
from the regiment. The Colonel, Hol-
comb, who is Connecticuter, is good
soldier and an officer distinguished for
energy and disciplinary qualities. The
Lieut.. Colonel, Elliott, has already been
under fire, and behaved SO well at Baton
Rouge that General Butler fastened to
signalise his appreciation of his merits,
BY lifting him right UP from staff Lieu.
tenant to field officer of high rank. The
Major, Fiske, is from Maine.
RECRUITING COLOR ED CITIZENS.
From the N. o. Delta, Aug. %,
Mr.. WIN. Barrett, recruiting officer,
gives notice to the colored men or New
Orleans that he las been authorized TO-
recruit company of colored citizens for
the United States army. He offers them
good inducements to join the service,

supplies for families. See his advertise.

Mr.. p. s. Pinchback is also eng.ged
in raising company Of colored men to
serve in the army Of the republic. There
seems to be no difference between white
and colored soldiers in the matter Of pay,
bounty, rations, DO. A private soldier
is entitled, on his discharge, to bounty
of SlO0, or l60 acres Of land, together
with Sl3 per month during the term Of
service.
