FROM NEW ORLEANS.

Dates from New Orleans have been received
to the 18th. From long letter In tho New
York ISma No make the following extracts: |
Nxw 0z1zAns, sept. 10. 1saa.
The gueri11as, with the exception of New |
Orleans and Its immediate vicinity, now have |
and 1a once fafr fields are tast becoming des-
terry impovershed, or With tits end, have not |
the melancholy privileges OF occupying their |
deEoaated homes, but are refugee. and know |
Is flll Of he people NON Baton Rouge, from
Dore1tonvnle, indeed, from all the towns on
the river; people who two years ago were ID |
deIendeht and Happy, but are now pcnailess,
AID unable, from former education, to earn |
focs no one can Imagine, aud many heart~
broken and hopelessly wrerched are findiog
peace only in q pauper's grave.
Just btfo1e you reach the extreme southern !
nits Of the city. On the banks OF the river, |
3on come to q la'ge unfinished building,
Which, from Its absurd style Of architecture,
you instinc1ise1y feel WAS built by money LEFT |
for some charitable purpose, and your ju1z-
melt Is not at fault This pile" Is called
the Truro Asylum, and is intended, or Was
ows and orphans; that It will be little else IN
TO distant future but an unshapely a ass OF
BRICK, there can be little doubt; but just at
this momtn. It Is serving the noSel purpose of
ba1racke for the free colored men called out
b. Gov. Moors's proclamation, and noE mus
te1irg under the flag of the United States.
The city recruiting for this, or possibly these
regiments, has gone on with great animation,
whole companies having been made up in =
few days. Yesterday saw, for the first tine,
costume. 1tooE great comfort in the reecol-
lec. ion that the British West India regimsn.s
Of the same material, were admitted, even BY
Fl glfhh martinets, to be efficient and serV
iceabie men
The record in the provost marshal's Office
ehots that there are over 5 .0C0 paroled con

they eEer agaln had an opportunity OF shoul-
deribg Musket, s'to drive the scum from the
southern soil." 4 while ago, Gen. Butler
Issued his Order No. 6i. which gave these pa
solcd soldiers an opportunity Of coming forz
wa1d and giving in their names, SO that they
could be regularly exchanged, aud thua legally
ard properly return to the ranks OF 6rcesh.
Out Of the :. GOO, but so have come for ward,
ard presume that most of these men desire
| this city, OF desire to get away for almost my
OH purpose than to enter the confederate
! st1yice. of the remaining paro1ed soldiers,
| 'over4 600 strong, presume they find the pro-
| lection Of the United States government quite
as comfortable as that OF the confederate
/ States; and I also presume that, ia due tine,
these men will come forward, and, by taking
| tie oath Of allegiance, once more become
| loyal citlzene, and, from their past experience
! In rebellion, become wiser, and trust, better
I men.

September, and by the blessing Of q kind
