Latest from New Orleans,

The Mobile Advertiser learns from
paroled prisoner from the Crescent City
the following account Of the exuberance
of feeling displayed in their behalf by
the citizens of New Orleans on their de-
parture from that city on the Sth inst:
On the morning Of the departure of
the exchanged prisoners--numbering 1856
ON the steamer Samuel Hill for Baton
Rouge, the levee and vessels, alongside,
from Canal street to jackson street, in
Lafayette, was one dense mass of specta-
tors, who enthusiastically cheered our
brave troops as they passed up the river.
The ladies, as only Southern ladies can,
gave vent to their feelings by waving
their handkerchief and giving hearty
God speed" to their own defenders
We are pleased to state that the crews OF
the British war vessels stationed in the
river gave cheer upon cheer on the de-
parture of our Southern sons. On &C
count of unanimous feeling displayed by
the citizens of our sister city, several al
rests were made by order of the brute
Butler.

Fruits of the War.

Extortion and rapacity are not the on,
ly fruits of this unhappy war. Inc greco
Of gain which has been fostered by the
opportunities that state OF war opens
to boundless speculation, and which OF
ITSELF seems to have extirpated many OF
the better qualities of humanity-impei-
ling men of the same lienage-who ought
to be bound to each other by the ties OF
common ancestry and united aims-to
oppress and devour each other-is not
the only evil superinduced. How little
do we see of that mutual sympathy
which should evidence itself in alleviat-
ing the distress of the poor and suffering,
and prompt those who have amassed for
tunes by inflated value. 10 extend relief
to those who have been correspondingly
depressed by the very means that have
contributed to their advantage. Whilst
the rich, and those ofeven smaller means
are made rich, by being able to take adj
vantage of the present unesampled IA
cilities for speculation--the poor are made
poorer every day. Yet, as already init
mated, this is not the only deplorable re-
suit of civil war. In other respects, mems
sensbilities are blunted, and they have
not the same regard for morality and re-
ligion, nor the same tender sympathy Tor
the suffering, that animates them in the
absence OF such scenes and tales OF hor-
ror as have lately grown familiar to our
eyes and ears. We see wretched, half
clad men, the sad relics of this unhappy
strife, hobbling on crutches about our
streets, and dragging their mutilated
forms along our thoroughfares daily
These examples are not rare now; they

Vice President Stephens Address
ing the People.

A friend writing to us from Sparta, Ga,
under date of the 18th says:
"Vice President Stephens gave us a
speech here this week. He says the
North is bound to laps into anarchy and
despotism, and that we have every reason
to be hopeful-that Lincoln will be de-
posed in less than two years-if the war
continues-that we have only to be true
to ourselves and to constitutional freedom
and all will be well.
He says the people must plant cotton
next year-that it is Ring-not, polite
al, but commercial King-that we cannot
please Palmerston better than by not
raising cotton--that it plays into his
hands in raising it in India-that they
can supply it there at from Is to 25 cents
per pound and only need the estimates
of two or three failures of American sup
ply to demonstrate it.
He says the battle Of Sharpsburg was
the most glorious victory of the war for
us, and that Gen. Lee accomplished just
that much more than he intended when
he went into Maryland-that his sole OBJ
,ject was to capture Harper's Ferry.
The Vice President is calling on the
people loudly to clothe and shoe the SOL
diers. The people here are making blan
kets of their carpets and doing everything
in their power to respond to the call

RECOGNITION and Intervention,

"Geo. N. Sanders, late commissioner to
Europe, who struggled himself into Can
ada, has returned to Richmond and
brings intelligence of an early recogni-
ton of the Confederacy by the Powers of
Europe. Belgium has already taken the
initiative. and will be followed by other
nations, by whose advice and consent she
is acting"
We take the above from the Freder-
icksburg Ne,os of Saturday. The infor.
nation it conveys was known to us some
days previously, or at least, the fact that
Sanders had returned, and that such q
statement was attributed to him-but, in
Difference TO what we understand to be
the wish of the Government, we refrain.
ed from any mention Of it. There can be
no harm in repeating it, now that it has
got into the newspapers, We hope that
the report may prove true, and feel in,

Terrible Railroad Accident.

The Memphis Appeal of the Goth gives
long account of disastrous collision
the worst that ever occurred in the South
ON the Mississippi Central Railroad,
near Duck Hill Station, on Sunday, the
10th inst. Thirty-fve passengers were
killed outright, and between forty and
fifty wounded, some of the latter horribly
mangled. The casualties were chiefly
among soldiers from Arkansas, Tennes.
see and Missouri. The two trains were
nearly demolished. Lieut.. Gen. Pember.
ton was on board, but sustained no inju-
.ry, being in hinder car. He took charge
on the melancholy occasion and render.
