Col Reilly had rendered supply Of troops TO

that the cause in which il fights is hopeless.
There can be no prospect to the rebels OF re-
capturing the city, for the railroad leading to
it will be destroyed, and a descent by the

Louisiana Is vast plain, and In no event can
the rebels make stand anywhere near the

: New Orleans is to the Gulf coast what New
York Is to the Atlantic coast. It's fall will be
to the South worse blow even than the cap
ture OF New York by an enemy would be to
the North. Through 1t more than half Of the
cotton crop Of the entire South passes to the
world, while its exports Of sugar, molasses, to-
bacco, and corn exceed those of any other
Southern city. There is probably not much
cotton there now, but the fact that we also vir-
tuaily possess great part of the cotton grow
ing territory will secure its speedy export with
or without the will Of the planters
1t Is nearly half q century since an enemy
appeared before New Orleans. That enemy
was repulsed with q slaughter which renders
memorable the plains Of Chalmette. But this
time an army captured the city, almost with
out loss Of blood, though it has doubled its
population many times since then Such are
the advances made by science, and such are
the Irresistible powers which the nation now
brings into the field against its enemies
Fhe Mississippi is now virtually opened
throughout its entire length. That was the
work which the men of the Northwest laid out
fer themselves year ago. The West has
done good share of the work, but il has been
left to the men of the East to complete it.
