During the space of FIVE years the earth

The Capture of New Orleans.

The steamer Columbia, which arrived
at New York on Wednesday, from Hav-
ana, where she left May Sd, brings tho
first account from the federal side we
| have yet had of the capture of New Or.
leans. The following is the telegraph re-
port.
The gunboat Daniel Smith arrived at
Havana on the Both from Fl. jackson
April Goth. The attack on the rebel forts
commenced on the 18th, On the ODD
Commodore Farragut, in the Hortford,
and thirteen steamers passed the forts,
and General Butler landor 1000 men
above. The rebels lost eleven gunboats
and the Hol!ins Turtle Manassas" Our
forces took four hundred prisoners We
lost over fifty men, and our gunboat Vero-
ma was also sunk.
On the oath, flag Of truce was sent to
Commodore Porter, asking conditions for
surrendering, to which Porter replied,
NO conditions" Our flag now waves over
the Custom House in New Orleans
Twenty mortar and three gunboats
were engaged against the forts, silencing
them after six days incessant firing. The
chains across the river were removed by
our gunboats. The rebels sent fire RATS
down the river, but they did little dam
age Ore eset fire to the Hartford, but she
was speedily extingushed.
The Verona and rebel steamer Webster,
ironclad, had splendid engagement
The Webster run into the Verona and
sunk her, but before going under the Ve-
rona's crew poured in volley of guns,
so destructive and crushing that both the
Webster and Verona went down toge,h-
er.
Arrangements for the surrender were
to be made on the 9th, the day after the
dispatch left.
The Ram Manassas was sunk by the
steamship Mississippi. Our forces sent
small boat to the fire RATS, and towed
them out Of the way before they could do
any harm Rebel loss unknown.

HE EFFECT or SECRETARY STANTON 3
| OFFICIAL INTERFERENCE WITH McCLELr.Ays 3
PLASs.-Mr Raymond, editor of the New
York TINS, writes to that paper from
Fortress Monroe as follows:
There are some who think that Gen.
Mcclellan, on first arriving here, might
have carried Yorktown by a sudden dash,
and saved the labor, cost. and delay of a
regular siege. If he had been allowed to
carry out his original plan he would have
turned orktown, and been in Richmond
now. But, when he was suddenly de-
piIved OF the very men he had relied on
to accomplish this, he had nochoice but
to change his plan. lie then was COM
PEELED to take Yorktown BY direct al.
vance. and that advance was work OF the
utmost difficulty. Gen Wool, il is true,
made haste to telegraph to Washington
that there were no works, and very few
men to defend the place; but Gen. Wool.
! aprreheEd, has changed his opinion now.
II not, no one, certainly shares it. have
no doubt that the possession of Yorktown
will be very sharply contested, and if it is
not tho bloodiest Fl ht of the campaign. it
will be because Gen. Nc lellans prepara-
tions have been 80 complete as to render
resistance hopeless If, however, the en-

test, they can be accommodated Our

not the slightest thought, under any cir.
cumstances, of turning back

our troops and the rebel army have been

assured that the feeling was never so buoy

They feel that few more weeks will see
