Affairs i'll New Orleans.

A letter in New York from on board Uni
ted States steamer R. r. Cuyler, off the
mouth of the Mississippi, Tuesday, Oct. 29th,
says:

took SEQ, 900 worth of Jeans and Lindseye, from

The rebels paid for these goods in confederate
scrip unless owners refused to receive it in
which event no consideration was given. Reli.
able individuals from Lexington who have con-
versed with rebel soldiers are confident that
battle must ensue before the rebels leave Ken

made their appearance on our coast, the Wa
chsusett carrying the flag of Rear Admiral
Wilkes, the Tioga, Capt Rogers. and the Sono-
ma. The two former came in St. Georges bar.
Dor. The object Of the squadron was stated to
be to procure . supply of coal, but it was not
unnatural for those interested in small feet OF
fast steamers, also lying in st. Georges Harbor
to form other copjectures.
3 was remarked by many, both British and
American, that as Admiral Wilkes entered the
port, no dag was hoisted, nor any salute fred
At Fort Cunningham. After he had anchored and
saluted the Consurs flag, he dispatched an OFF,
Ger on shore to ascertain if the customary So
lutte would be acceptable, and on learning that
it would, the ordinary interchange Of courtesies
took place.
On Saturday the Admiral proceeded to Mount
Laughton, and paid his respects to his Excellen.

WAsHINaToN, Oct. All the accounts in

FuRTHER PARTICULARS.

CAIRO, Oct. As yet I can only state the
general results Of the last weeks fighting
Diminishing commenced last Tuesday. There
has been more or less fighting each day up to
yesterday afternoon, when Rosecrans sends to
Grant a dispatch saying: "The enemy are ut
terly routed, throwing their baggage and every
thing away, and that he is pursuing them
sharply"
90 The rebel loss at Corinth is about 500 killed
and 1900 to 1900 wounded. We have near / 500
prisoners at Corintl,, and 800 on the Hatchie,
with more constantly coming in. I have no
report of the killed on either side in Yesterday
and Mondays battles. Az
Gen. Ord says on Saturday we lost several
hundred wounded, and probably more than the
enemy. We have taken several thousand stand
of arms, thrown away by the rebels in their
flight They are mostly new muskets of English
make.
Our loss at Corinth is about 300 killed and
1000 wounded. Some eye witnesses put the
estimate at higher figures.
The fighting on Saturday is described as des-
perate in the extreme, the rebels rushing up to
the mouth of the cannon, many of them being
blown to atoms. Many houses in Corinth a, e
badly shattered by shot and shell; one shell
plunged through the Tishomingo House, killing
wounded soldiers. .-.a
More than half of the rebels are bare. footed,
and many are ragged, and from the corn in their
haversacks they must have been nearly starved.
Prisoners say the effective force of the rebels is
$4,000 but this must bean over estimate, certain
it is however, that they have outnumbered US
fully two to one. On Sunday Gen. Ord drove
Van Dorm FIVE miles through woods and valleys
and over hills, the rebels taking advantage Of
every valley and Jungle for their infantry and of
every hill for their artillery. The fight lasted
seven hours. We captured two batteries, and
field officers and aid de camps to Van Dorm
