CAPTURE OF NEW ORLEANS.


The news so long and SO auxiously waited
FOR, OF the capture of New.Orleans, says the
Tribune, has come at last. Though it reaches
Us through Rebel sources. We see 10 reason
to doubt its authenticity, as it is not likely
that it would be announced 10 Petersburg and
Richmond journals, unless they had positive
Intelligence of its truth. The city opened for
its defense, not upon any Notifications within
its own limits, but upon the forts at distance,
on the lakes In the rear, and on the Missis-
sippi below it. These once passed, on either
side, the city must fall unrestiugly before a
suf6cient force This, without doubt, is the
fact, and New. Orleans is now held by Union
troops.
No city in the world, of any commercial i'm.
portance, is so deienseless, when once reached,
as New Orleans. 1t stretches along the left
bank of the river for six or seven miles, on a
narrow strip Of laud, averaging only about
two miles in width. In the rear the land
sinks into mere, e,Swamp, uninhabited and amin.
habitable. The city itself is lower than the
bed of the river, and is protected from over
flow by levee, partly natural and partly
artificial embankment Il feet at anct cr be.
fore it is actually higher than the city itself,
and commands it as if from an eminence.-

Whether the forts below have been reduced

BoDY SNA1cHING IN BATAvIA,--The Batavia

BoDY SNATcHING IN BATAvIA.--The Batavia
Spirit of the Times has the following -
On Thursday morning last our quiet village
was thrown into sudden CONSERVATION by the
announcement that the grave of Mary Buchan.
an, an intelligent and estimabe young lady,
who was buried in the cemetery On the first of
March last, had been robbed and The body
carried off, Her parents have long been resi-
dents here, and the young lady herself was
well known and esteemed.
Numbers of excited and eager citizens re-
paired to the buryiug ground to be convinced
oi tlo t-nth Of the report; and when the grave
was opened the assertion proved to be 90 trne
The body had been taken, and from the state
of the clothes in the cofiiu it was evident that
they had been torn off the body by sacrilig
iouS hands.
A committee of citizens was soon formed to
investigate the outrage. This led TO the ar
rest, by Deputy Sheriff Hull, of young med
ical student of this place. Parts of decayed
human body were found in box on the prem
ises where be resides. The matter is to have
o full and thorough judicial investigation, and
inquiries will be continued, and doubtless some
further light will be thrown on the subject
which al present i. is not policy to reveal.
This dastardly outrage has caused an in
tense excitement in oar midst, and We are
happy to state that it is the only occurrence
of the kind that has ever been brought to pub
lie notice 10 Batavia.

of personal daring are related characteristic of
the troops, on ho,h sides, in the lines at York
town, During the FIRST days skirmish on our

from Georgia, posted themselves each behind

effect on either side, at the same time keeping
up lively chat. Finally, that getting tedious,
Georgia calls out to Maine" Give me show, I"
meaning step out and give an opportunity to
hit Maine, in response, pokes ont bis head a
few inches, and Georgia cracks away and
misses. "Too high" says Maine. Nov give

Maine blazes away. "Too low" sings GeoF-
gia. Finally, Maine sends ball so as to graze
the tree within ah inch or two of the ear of
Georgia "Cease firing" shouts Georgia
Cease it u.s." responds Maine. "Look here, I"
