NEW ORLEANS AND THE MISSISSIPPI
The commercial advantages Of the capture OF
New Orleans can hardly be over-estimated.
Business men therein are generally Union
men. The Union element there is strong in all
the better classes of society. Spurred on by
the misery which Secession tyranny has press
ed upon them during the last year, the Union
lists will speedily be organized for mutual de-.
fense, and to make permanent the peace and
repose to be enjoyed only under the flag of the
Union. The States Of the great Northwest,
too, who furnish the water for the Mississippi
river, will speedily pour down that noble stream
the accumulation OF produce seeking an outlet
to foreign markets; and this viii revive again
the trade and business Of New Orleans, sweep
ing away completely everything that has dam
med the channels of commercial prosperity and
restoring a state of affairs that the people of
Louisiana will never again consent to part with
from fear Of some fancied but unreal danger
threatened. To open the Mississippi was the
task which the men of the Northwest laid out
for themselves year ago, and well have they
accomplished it, with the aid of their breth-
rem from the East ''whO go down to the sea in

SUICIDE OF CAPT. WINNIE Yesterday
morning, Capt. Winnie Of the Second Cavalry,
committed suicide at the Bella Union Hotel. in
this city, by cutting his throat with razor. The
Captain had been, as was supposed before his
death, not in his right mind, but appeared calm
and rational, and a stranger wouldn have be-
heved that anything affected his mental facul-
ties. On the evening previous TO committing
the rash act, he conversed until a late hour with
Col. Forman, and the COh requested the bar
keeper of the hotel to gOtO Capt. Winnie, and
take his weapons, if he had such, as it was a
rule that no gentleman should retire tn his room
with weapons. The barkeeper did SO, and was
told by the Capt. that he had none. About
o'clock yesterday morning, after having. been
to the door of the room several times, and lind
tlocked, the clerk of the house looked in at the
window, and a horrible sight met his gaze The
Captain lay on.the bed, weltering IN his olood,
from the wound ne had made. The door was
Immediately forced, but life was extinct Capt.
Winnie was native of New York, and was
formerly a resident of Nevada. The deceased
officer was buried with military honors, at three
