WE nnbish to-day such dispatches as have been re-
eeved bad as is the news they bring We do not be-
Ieve in keeping such matters back since they must be
known, sooner or later.
We have few remarks to make. Our desire is to be
perfectly candid with our readers and to hold nothing
back that does not tend to give information. Having
given the news in its worst phase would say in adj
dtion that although it may be all 49, yet the fall of New
Orleans is not rendered certain to our minds.
1t is known that late yesterday afternoon dispatch
was sent to the press direct from New Orleans stating
that part Of the mortar feet had passed the Forts
and adding that the operators expected soon to leave
This dispatch was not delivered and OF course we would
have made no auson to it but for the tact that the
news is all abroad and this more crcuitous dispatch
purporting to give about hour and half later
to take things for granted that the last direct dis
patch does not An that we do is to wait with
what feelings and with what patience we can muster.
What we canddiy think is that the Crescent City is
or was at the latest dates in imminent and deadly peril
That she had fallen do not regard as an asceraned
fact We may hear more before going to press
The Richmond Enquire, says that dispatches re-
ceived at the Adjutant Generals Office 10 Richmond
state that the new ironcIad Confederate Steamer Lou
siana went out for the first time on Monday last She
powerful steam RAM 1t was intended that she should
have assembled the Mississippi to cooperate with Beau
regard but the people Of New Orleans were unwilling
part with her at so critical juncture, and hence tb
Louisiana was detained. What she has done or ma.
yet do, is more than we can say.
Even at the city, General Lowell was prepared tt
make stand, and bis sole reliance was not upon tb
forts We think the eegraphers shared the panic which
Dervaded the community and the last hurried words
men leaving, must be taken with due deduction.

1t is vague, and we give it for what it is worth. 1t

The rumour adds that Col White has been able to
prevent the enemy from erecting any batteries near
enough to the Fort to be dangerous to it, as La sweeps
the banks with his guns, and fires on every craft that
makes its APPEARANCE within range. Also that the
enemy had for the time ceased firing, and there
" an occasional gun from the Fort when they made any
Emove or showed themselves enough.

FROM BOSTON.

BosTON, Aug. Z.
In accordance with the request of many
citizens, Gov. Andrew has authorized the
organization of a Boston Regiment for the
war; to consist of ten companies Of rifles,
and battery of artillery; Lieutenant
Col. BatchellOr, of the 18th Mass, is to be
Colonel, and the Governor suggests that
the regiment be mainly Oficered from
soldiers now in the field, who have earned
the right for promotion for gallant services.
Geo. Lunt, editor of the Boston Courier,
announces his interest in that paper for
sale.
THE Second Battalion of Infantry, Boston
Tigers, are to be increased to q Regiment
for nine months service. Mai. c. L. Hol-
brook is to be the Col a general desire
is expressed that the whole militia of
Massachusetts be organized, equipped and
held in readiness for the call Of the Gov
ernment. The people seem determined to
make the war special business until a
peace is conquered.

COLUMBUS, Aug. 7, 1862.
To the Press of Cleveland:
In reply to many inquiries, I have to
state that the rules and regulations to gov
ern drafting have not yet been received
from the War DepaBtnsnt: that rs soon
as received, they shall be published; that
Vntil received, l am unable to say for what
length Of time volunteers will be received
for new regiments; that the new regiments
heretofore called for are now nearly filed
up, but that recruiting for the old regi-
ments in the field progresses slowly. 1
am unable to account for this The posi-
ton of the recruit in an old regiment is
far more desirable than in new regiment,
and also far more important to the Gov
ernment. The recruit joins body Of
drilled men, who have had and recovered
from all the diseases incident to camp life,
and are thus able to receive and care for
q new brother soldier. The several mill
tary committees should act as recruiting
officers for the old regiments, and forward
all recruits to this department, where they
will be permitted to select for themselves
the regiment TO which they prefer to be
attached. DAVID TOD, Governor.

THE STEAMER HERALD AFFAIR.

" AsHihGTON, aug. Z.
Capt. Ganzvort Of the Adriondac has in
formed the Navy Department Of the facts
attending the recent pursuit Of the steam
er Herald, represented by the Nassau pa
pers to be a British vessel. This pretense
afforded an opportunity for the expression
Of indignation against the alleged outrage
by the American officer from whose state
ment it appears that the Herald had been
running from Nassau to Charleston with
warlike supplies, and was returning to
Nassau with cotton. She was commanded
by a man named Coxsetter, formerly Cap
tain Of the privateer JEFF. Davis. The
chase, however, was not continued within
British jurisdiction.
The statement additionally confirms the
fact that the British flag is systematically
used to advance secession interests.
Numerous applications have been made
for passes to the army Of the Potomac, but
they are invariably refused.
1t is the request Of Gen. Mcclellan that
private visitors be excluded from his lines.
All the sick are to be removed thence,
therefore the friends Of many Of the pa
tients cannot urge the necessity Of their
presence there for nursing purposes.

have been so popular and whose peculiar ex-

when giving his logical diseourOea to large

when demonstrating the truthfulness of his
discoveries upon the street at night to thou
