NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

-Gca. Wool telegraphs to the War Departmen
an item from The Richmond DispaleA as foiows'
"The fearful state Of suspense IN which the
oity existed for two or three days is at last ended
New Orleans is in possession of the enemy. 1t was
evacuated by Gen. Lowell, who has removed bis
forces to Camp Moore, on the jackson Railroad
From the headquarters of the Potomac army
there is nothing to report this morning. beyond the
progress of the works for commencing the siege.
There is sn item of news from Fort Pillow this
morning which says that the bombardment was kept
up by the moItars of the National fleet at long in
tervas.
Gen. Halleck teleg1aphs TO the War Department
that 10 Gen. Sherman more than any one else was
due the redemption of the day at Pittsburg Landing
Gen. Halleck recommends that Gen. Sherman be
appointed Major General.
We have report this morning from point
near Monterey, Tenn, which says that the National
troops are in capital spirits. The prisoners captured
say the enemy have upward of 80 600 men at COrnth
and will fight; and that they are busy intrenchmg
and mounting large guns.
by way of Kansas City we have intelligence to
the 18th inst. Col. Slough and Gen. Candy formed
junction at Galesio on the llth. Maj Duncan. who
wss in command of Gen. Canby's advance guard,
encountered large party of Texans, and routed
them. Major Duncan was slightly wounded. The
Texans were 80 miles south of Gales'o in full flight
from the Territory. No doubt is entertained Of the
capture Of the Rebel Sibleys command as they are
entirely destitute.
"A Washington dispatch says the Commission on
Ordnance and Ordnance Supplies have rejected all
the foreign contracts, and considerably curtailed
those for the manufacture OF arms in the United
States. The Ordnance Office has issued proposals
for manufacturing, within one year. the Springfield
riHed muskets and HaIpers Ferry rifles, together
with carbine,, revolyers, sabers swords, and soab-
bards. The Department reserves 10 itself the right
to reject any bid, and will consider none made
through any agent, broker or party, other than the
regular manufacturers.
From the Mountain Department under date Of
Wheeling, Goth inst, we have a dispatch which SAYS
that scout sent out by Gen. Milroy went within
cavalry company The scout ascertained that John
son, shortly after leaving the Shenandoah Mountain
was ordered back, but replied that ito occupation by
10000 National troops made it impossible. lie was
then ordered TO Join jackson east Of Blue Ridge,
which was being rapidly done. The same scout re-
ports the loss Of ioragng party twelve miles from
Mcdowell. While waer-bound, ii was attacked by
gueuas, the wagons and horses were destroyed,
some men badly wounded, and some Killed.
New-York daily tribune., 1862-04-30

We learn from Washington that a large
quantity of muskets, and O large quantity Of
red trowsers to match, are to be sent to IN.
Hunter. The news, we trust, Is not CON.
traband, though the guns and trowsers have q
" contraband" destination. The intelligence
will not be likely to carry either aid or com.
fort to the enemy, for probably nothing could
,tartle them more than the assurance that the
loyal blacks of South Carolina are to be armed
and disciplined if only for their own defense.
From our own correspondents, as well a.
from other gOurces, we learn that the Rebel
Generals at Yorktown are making very Of.
fectiye use of slaves, not only In digging in
trenchments but in serving guns. The inha,
man example of putting these involuntary sol.
diers in the front Of the battle will not, We
are sure, be ever followed by our command
ers; but there is nevertheless point whore
forbsarance in avalng ourselves of the aid
which the Southern blacks are willing and
anxious to give the Union cause, may become
a folly. When the Government shall see fit to
change it's policy in this respect there will BE-.
we presume, o very general acquescencs in ito

Mr.. Simon Stevens Of Pennsylvania pur.
chased lot of guns which an Army officer in
charge of them had sold for a song-(most
unwsely, we think)--had them rihed, and sold
them again to the Government at high price
the service having the most pressing need Of
them There is now question-with which
we do not meddle-as to whether Mr.. Stevens
shall be paid the contract price for bis guns
or only half of it. The matter having got into
Congress, Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, who made
some structures on the action Of tae House
Investigating Committee. was spoken Of In
certain newspapers as brother Of Mr. Simon
Stevens who sold the guns. Hereupon, MIR.
L. Stevens in the debate of Thursday OK
pressly said:
"simon Stevens ,oag rsiates Of h' but he was
couuent Of kis and Of high character - any man In
the House." -
The Express suppres,es this correction and
reiterates the exploded falsehood, by interpo-
latiug in report of Mr. Dawes's remarks
after the name OF Simon Stevens the explana-
ton, '(brO.1er of Thed Steyens.)" If that
is honorable warfare, we trust The Ezpress
