FALL OF NEW ORLEANS,

Our latest N. Orleans dates are of
the 24th inst. TO the politeness of
some passengers on the Steamer
Hodges, we are indebted for the fol-
lowing disastrous news.
Eleven Federal steamers passed Fort
jackson together four Of which were
sunk or disabled by the guns of the
Fort the others continued towards
n. Orleans. On the tolcgraphic an
nouncemcnt Of this, Gov Moore has
tened toplace in safety on the Hodges
tae most important State archives,
and issued proclamation recommend
ing to all holders of cotton in the city
to destroy it without delay. Gen.
Lowell was also requested by him to
deliver up the keys Of the city.
We see also by the dipatch from
Com Rcnshaw that seven Of our war
steamers were taken and burned
as well as all other public property
at Quarantine grounds.
So the great emporium of the
South West is i'll the hands of the ene-

The Governors Proclamation.

We draw the attention of cur readers
10 the proclamation of the Governor in
reference to the destruction of cotton.
Besides this appeal to our citizens, it
is worth while to notice the confeder-
ate law recently passed, allowing com
pensation to those whose property is
destroyed by the imminent danger Of
its falling into the hands Of the enemy.
The military authorities are author
lied, by this general law, to destroy all
private property so situated; and, in
case of its destruction from this cause,
compensation will be made, out Of the
fund arising under the Sequcstration
Act. Sugar, molasscs and corn crops
arc equally subject to being destroyed
The danger should be reasonably high
and not remote, nor the act prccipitate
and the effect Of a panic. A pyocss rer.
6at should be drawn up for proof Of the
quantity by weight, the quality as near
as convenient. and of the approach Of
danger causing the necessity Of dcs-
truction, which should be signed by
disintcrcstcd witnesses.
The law makes no such particular
form imperative, but does require cvid-
cncc OF the necessity of destruction and
Of the value of the property destroyed,
which induces us to recommend the
form Of process rcrbal. This form, we
would suggest as sufficient:
" Be it remembered, that on this
day of 1862, the cotton

bales Of the quality and weight as fo,-
lows: bales of midding
quality, weighing lbs;
bales Of ordinary quality, weighing

situated from the danger of its falling
into tho hands of the enemy.

executive Oillcc, baton Rouge,
April 25th, 1862.
The extraordinary efforts of the enc.
my to capture our chief city have been
successful. 1t is our duty now to de-
prive him of the fruits of victory. !
] therefore order the destruction Of
all Cotton within the limits of Louisia-
ma bat is in danger of falling into the
hands Of the enemy, and | direct the
Militia officers in~ttle several parishes
to bxecntesff,is order. In case those
officers should not be able to act with
sufficient promptitude, let the torch be
applie1by persons appointed by the
several Police Juries In those par
ishes bordering on the Mississippi
River, the citizens and planters must
act themselves lin cpmsumating this
destruction, upon the first approach of
the enemy, in case neither of these au-
thorities should have time to issue the
necessary orders. If it is practicable
to haul the Cotton in the interior, out
OF the reach of the enemy, let it be
done, but if not, it should be burned
on the water courses or on the planta-
tions.
The patriotism of the people will, of
itself, prompt them to this sacrifice.
Ny object in issuing this order is to
systematic their efforts and ensure
the general and complete destruction
of the crop, rather than permit it to
fall into the hands of our foes.

you the full effect of the serious loss

THE NEW INTERVENTION RuMoRs.

The London papers have so often contained
false reports of the European Powers in the
affairs of this country. that nobody is disposed
to believe the new rumors that they give cur
rercy 10, on the same subject. But there is
a bare possibility that there is a little founda-
tiou for their last rumor, which puts the mat
ter in different shape, which is more piausi-
bic and less likely TO be offensive to this coun-
try. 1t is stated that France has proposed to
Russia and England joint Intervention, to
recomend a suspension of hostilities, and that
Russia has agreed to it. Nothing is said about
recognition or an attempt to brake the block
ade. If the so-caled Intervention amounts
to nothing more than a recommendation to
our Government, 1T need give us no uneasiness.
The Recommendation may be respectfully re-
ceiyed and clviily answered; bn, that hos;ili-
ties win be suspended to oblige Europe and the
rebel States, We do not for one Instant believe
This war is TO be fought out till the Union is
restored, and the advice of our Government
to the European Powers should be and viii be

THE WAR NEWS.

New owners bring new laws. Gen. Burn
side has changed his base of operations from
the Shenandoah to Aquia creek. The change
gives great advantage. opening as it does
level road to Richmond, which is but sixty
miles distant from our advance, and giving the
left of our moving columns the protection of
the river Rappahannock. Instead of being
fanked by the troops of ssStonewall'' Jack
son, Gen. Burnside now has him in front; and
the latest accounts say that that partisan lea
der is now headed southwark. Thus at pres
ent everything looks we'll only sixty milesly-
ing between the Union army and the rebel
capital, with an almost level country over
which to advance.
General Patrick, Provost Marshal General
of the Army, the morning of the 21st, eros
sed from Falmouth to Fredericksburg, and
presented to the Mayor and council a letter of
Gen. Sumner, asking the surrender of the Ci-
" on or before o'clock. The letter sets
forth that, under cover of the houses, shots
have been fred upon our pickets, that mills
and manufactures are furnishing provisions
and material for clothing to armed bodies IN
rebellion against the Federal Government,
and that railroads and other means of trans
portation are removing supplies to the depots
OF such troops. Failing to receive an affirma-
tive answer, Gen. Summer would allow them
sixteen hours for the removal of the women
and children, the sick, wounded and aged, af-
ter which he would proceed to she'll the town.
On his arrival on the opposite side of the ri
rio cd fbao ~
house by the military, where he was detained
until the reply was made. In the meantime,
his communication was conveyed to Gen.
Longstreet whose troops are encamped short
distance outside of the city. To the demand
made upon the civil authorities, the Mayor of
Fredericksburg sent an answer, which was evil
IDENTITY written at the dirtation of Gen. Long
street, to the effect that the complaints should
be remedied as far as the firing on our pick
cts and furnishing supplies and material to the
Confederate army was concerned. Also, that
the rebels would dispute the occupation of the
city by the Government forces. The Mayor
complained of the short space of time allowed
for the removal of the women and children
and sick soldiers.
An officer who left Gen. Burnside army at
O'Clock p. m, Nov. %, reports the situation
unchanged. The Rebels were said to have
nineteen guns of large caliber in position at
and near Fredericksburg.
Stirring events may soon be heard along the
Mississippi. Between 5000 and sc, 900 troops
have passed down the river within the last
two weeks to Memphis and Helena-most of
them to the former. 1t is understood that
Gen. Sherman, at present in Memphis, will
cooperate with General Grant, now moving
against the enemy in Mississippi.

Letter from Judge Lane Of Alabama to sec-e-
tary Stanton.

He Asks FOR A VIGoRoUs WAR Policy IN
THAT SrATE.-Judge Lane, at present the only
civil officer of the United States Government
in Alabama, has addressed letter to Secretary
Stanton, dated Danville, KY, Nov. 5, presen-
ting his views as TO the policy which shou Id
control the Army of the Ohio, now that it is
about to advance into his State. He says:
ssI urge upon the Administration the impor-
tance of the position to which Chattanooga is
the key. This view has ofte3 becn presented
in more impressive language than l can ciothe
it, Aside from the great fact that it will free
is important that Chattanooga should be iaken
on account of the fact that il will be great
blow at this season of the year to the entire
Southern States. From East Tennessee comes
the entire supply OF coal for the rebel Con-
federacy. To stop that supply would put an
end to the operations of nearly all the foun-
dries and arsenals of the South. To take
Chattanooga would be to cause the evacuation
of all East Tennessee, and the important point
of Knoxville would fall into our hands. Rome
with its extensive arsenal would become ours.
and Atlanta could not long be held. leave
you to elaborate this in your mind. The
most accurate information you can obtain in
regtrd to this place will confirm all could
say yea more. l am aware that its importance
has been impressed upon the minds of Generals
Buell. and Rosecrans, and trust that an effort
will be made to capture ito
