MOBILE, April 28.-The forts on Lake

FORTRESS MONROE, April ga flag of
truce from Norfolk to-day brought down
the wife and family of Parson Brownlow,
and also the wife of Congressman May
nard. The party, consisting of four ladies,
| two gentlemen and six children are all
from Tennessee. They. bring the report
that all the Union families Of Tennessee
have been ordered by proclamation to leave
within SO hours; 1900 Union men left for
Kentucky a week ago Friday; of party
of 400 attempting to leave, 100 had been
killed.
There is no doubt of the capture of New
Orleans. The Southern papers speak of it
in the most dismal strains, and demand that
the mystery of the surrender of tie city
shall be explained.
The Norfolk Day Book, in an editorial
says it is by far the most serious reverse of
the war. 1t suggests future privations to
all classes of society, but most to be lament.
ed of all, it threatens our army supplies
The raising of meat, corn and wheat in
stead of cotton and tobacco, is earnestly
recommended by the disconsolate editor.
The Richmond Dispatch of yesterday
says: When the enemy's feet arrived OPP
posite the city and demanded its surrender,
Gen. Lowell refused and tell back to Camp |
Moore, after destroying all the cotton and |
stores.
The iron-clad vessel Mississippi was |
burnt to prevent her falling into the hands |
of the enemy. Nothing is said about the |
Louisiana, but it is supposed that she was
scuttled. 1t was rumored that she was
sunk at the first FIRE of the fleet. Camp
Moore is 78 miles from New Orleans, on the |
Jackson Railroad.
The following are the latest dispatches in
to-day's papers:
MOBILE, April 27.-The Yankee Commo-
dore Farrigut promised the secretary of the
Mayor of New Orleans, who visited the
feet by flag of truce, to cake renewed
demand for she surrender of the city, but
be has not done so up to this hour, FIVE
o'clock.
Our ship, the McRae, came up from the
forts under flag of truce, with 40 of our
She communicated with the
Federal flag ship, but the result is not
known. It is rumored that the Federals
refused TO let her return. The rumor that
Fort Pike has been evacuated and blown
up, is unreliable. In conference held
with one of the Federal officers after the
conference with Mayor Monroe and Com
modore Farragut, the officer left, declaring
that he would shoot Down the flag from
the City Hall, if it was not hauled down;
aud he actually brought a ship within
range, but has not fred thus far. 1t is re-
ported that French and English men-of-
war are below, and will enter their pro-
est against Smelling the city. It is believ-
ID the Yankee vessels are short of provi-
lions and ammunition.
The city is extremely orderly, but the
excitement is intense, and the feeling of
humiliation deep. {
