Tie chief talk yesterday was in regard to. the
advance ofsthe enemy towards Forts st. Philip
and jackson. There were many rnmors afoat, 4,
but as usual no responsible party could be found
to answer for them, and they passed like many
other dispatches, as unworthy of belief. There
was something of a crowd around the passport
office at certain hours Of the day; but the appliea
tons we're chiefly the part Of those going to the
seat Of war; such as we may designate by the title
OF the " Florence Nightengale Club," going to the
fields of battle in the capacity. of nurses.
There was very little talk about cotton, tobacco
and other produce. True, the order of Major
Gen. Lowell requiring all holders Of tobacco, prof.
prietors of warehouses, to report within five days
the quantity stock in their possession, was re-.
ceiyed with some 4astonishment and not compre-l
hended at first yet it will have to be compre-l
hended, and holders of tobacco need not under
take to create fuss about It, because the order is
just and appropriate 1t is reasonable to suppose
that authorities are desirous OF ascertaining
how much tobacco our quasi ifrend Mr.. Napoleon
the Third, may own in this good city, or rather
what may be held for his account. We have heard |
that one party holds for his account 5000 hogs |
heads; other parties may hold more or less, but |
the entire information has to be furnished at the
office Of the Provost Marshal all holders of the
weed will take due notice. 80
Taking all things into consideration, Napoleon
the Third has pursued a very equivocal, milk-and.
water course towards the Southern Confederacy
He has been playing the fiddle to Earl Russell and
| the Exeter Hall Clique OF England 1t is very

Napoleon's tobacco is stored to the Mississippi
