Later from New Orleans.

NEW YORK, aug, 10.
The steamer Saxon, from New Orleans on the
5th, he's arrived.
Cen Butler issued order setting fortn
that the need of relief to the destitute requires
more extended measures and a greater outlay
than has been yet made, and that as question
of Justice, the burden should fall on those who
brought this great calamity on their fellow cit
izens, namely: those individuals and corpora"
tions who have aided the rebellion with their
means, and those who have endeavored to de-
stroy the commercial prosperity of the city. A
subscription of 81, 250,000 was made by cor
porate bodies, business firms and persons
whose names are given to defend the city
against the Government Of the United States,
Whilst the Cotton Brokers" (names also Civ
enl issued manifesto in October, advising
planters not to bring their produce to the city.
These parties are all assessed by Gen. Buffers
order, for the purposes above named, to the
amount of $342, 200, of which over $4,000 is
on subscriptions to the $1,25O,OO loan.
An intercepted letter states that "Dr. NJ. "
was organizing a secret Confederate army in
New Orleans, and has 5000 men enrolled.

The News Of the Week.

We have several items of news this week, OF
more than ordinary interest. We publish the
official account Of Gen. Pope, of his fight at
Culpepper; quite a full account Of the battle
at Baton Rouge, and the destruction OF the
rebel Ram, Arkansas, the last Of the rebel iron
clad steamers on the Mississippi. The result
of this battle was in noubt, when we went to
press last week the rebels claiming to have re-
taken Baton Rouge and captured the entire
Federal force stationed there, while the Ram
Arkansas had destroyed three or four Federal
punboats, and driven the whole feet down to
New Orleans for protection.
g3But among the most extraordinary items OF
news, is the short account we publish OF the
evacuation of Harrisons Landing,by the grand
army Of Gen Mcclellan, and the final aDan-
donment of this grand attempt upon Rich
mond. There is some consolation IN this hour
of chagrin, modification and humiliation at the
utter failure Of this camgaign, from which so
much was hoped and expected by the people
of the country, to know that the eVacuatlon
and retreat was effected in a mastery and sci
entifc manner, and that the unparalleled stra>
tecical genius of Gen. Mcclellan, held out to
the last. We presume this is the conclusion OF
the remarkable strategical movements COM
menced by that General, in June last when
the grand army of the Potomac, hopeful, eager
with all the prestige of success, sat down III
sight of the Steeples and domes of Richmond,
with weakened, discouraged and despairing
enemy before him, and fell to digging trenches
in the swamps of the Chickahominy.
We will not complain at this final result OF
a summers campaign, that has cost the country
1000 valuable lives, and untold millions of
treasure, because it would be useless and because
there may be nobody to blame. Still, there is
hope to be drawn from this final move of STRAIT
egy-hope that it will result in putting the
grand army of the Potomac, in more successful
if not more capable hands.
1t is said that large force of McClellands
Army has gone into camp at Newport News.
A dispatch from Fortress Monroe aug 18th says:

EY Mr.. E. P. Messer, of Waukegan, takes
US rather roundly to task for the publication OF
letter from the 37th Illinois Volunteers We
| published the letter mainly for the news il
contained of a Regiment in which were enlisted
many of the inhabitants of our county but it
contained among other things, copy of pc,
tition which our correspondent said was signed
by all the company present, except six mem.
bers, but which Mr.. Messer says was signed by
only about half of the company, asking the
Captain of Co. F, of that regiment, TO resign
his position. AS there was no charge brought
against the Captain, but on the contrary, he
was spoken of as an excellent man, we could
see no improperly in publishing the letter and
the petition. Our correspondent said that the
Captain was fine man as a citizen, but had
not the faculty of making himself popular as a
military man. Of course, we could have no
object in publishing anything derogatory to
Capt. Messer, for we had never heard of him
until we read of him in that letter, and if in
publishing that letter, we have wronped him
we certainly regret it, and hereby tender the
amende honorable.
We hope our correspondent will hereafter
contine himself more particularly to the ,car
ns'7s, and not trouble US with the gossip of his
Company

Dear Friend:-Nothing of particular interest
has TRANSFERRED with us, till within the last week or
two Since then, our Regiment has met with sad
reverse OF fortune. We have had sad misfortune
befal us, and one that tells heavily upon our reg
ment
The 2nd Battalion, under command of Maj. Egg
gleston, was attacked on the morning of the 3rd
inst at the LAnguie Ferry, by party of Tex
an Rangers, numbering 500 or 6O0, and complete
ly cut to pieces. The alarm was brought to our
camp (the LIST and 3rd Battalions) which was eight
miles from the Ferry, and we were soon in our
saddles and on the march. But we were too late.
Our men fought well for about half aH hour, and
were then overpowered by numbers, and had to
give up. They (the rebelsl burned nearly all our
wagons, took the mules & horses, and skedadded.
We followed them for six or eight miles, but they
had too much the start of us We had eleven kill
ed besides two negroes, and nearly 40 wounded
all the rest were taken prisoners, except few who
escaped into the woods.
Among the killed was worthy Chaplain, Mr.
DUNMoRE. He was noble man, and very mich
respected by every man i'll the Regiment. Some
who escaped, say that he fought like tiger till he
fell Two or three have since died of their wounds
Among the wounded, are Serg't SHEPARD,
CHRIS HOOKER, and Tom HEALY, of Co. M
They were all sent 10 Memphis last night
great many are sick in our regiment now; in
fact, don't think there can be mustered 500 well
men. The Colonel has been sent home danger
ousIy IL.
Our regiment has been attached to Vandever's
Brigade, in Gen. Carls Division They are both
fl hting men, and trusty officers. 1t is rumored
here that Gen. Curtis is going to make q move
soon, but do not know in what direction. There
are nearly 1000 troops here now and feet OF
gunboats and rams, have been lying in the river
for some time. 1t is quite lively on the river
Steamboats, are coming in and going out continu-
ally, but none pass below here. Secessionism Is
still pretty strong amongst the inhabitants, but
they of course keep pretty still aboutit

The President on COLONIZATION

Last Friday afternoon the President of the
United States gave audience to the committee
of coored mon at tbs White House, to whom
he spoke at considerable length Oh the subject
of colonization. He claimed that both they and
we are injured, by their remaining in this
country, and that colonization would be an ad
vantage to both. Their race, with slavery, as
the cause of the war. He urged the free in
telIgent negroes to do all they could for colon
ization. He spoke OF Liberia, where there are
300 600 or 400, 900 people, of whom something
less than II, 600 have been sent from this count

to- but he was thinking of a nearer country for
seuding colony to-CentIal America. Ii is

and there is an abundance of coal so that inn
mediate employment can be given to all who

The steamahip Europa, with Liverpool dates o.
the 9Th and Queenstown to the 10th, passed here
yesterday morning.
1t Is stated that Shdel in IN interview with the
Emperor Napoleon, urged the recognition of tbe
Southern GOnfederacy. Napoleon is said to have
admitted the cogency Of the arguments held forth
by Slidell in favor Of such a course but said tbot
the greatest barrier to the South had Teen the oh
ection of England.
j Lord Palmerston in a speech delivered at
Sheffield, again advocated no interference in Amer.
lean affairs. Mr. Roebuck also made speech on
the same occasion, but took opposite view
from that of Lord Palmerston, and urged the
claims of the confederates to be such as entitled
them to a recognition by England.
Another account says that the rebel ENJOYS at
Paris and London had demanded the recognition
of the Southern Confederacy. 1t is said that Eng
land refused the demand, but France has not yet
replied.
