EROm NEW ORLEANS.

Our advices from New Orleans are as late as
last Saturday evening, the Bird instant Genera
BUTLER had issued his proclamation, which We
publish this morning, as extracted from the col
Gmns of the Evening True Data of that date
We learn that up to that time seven regiments
Of Federal troops had landed, and shat several
transports filed with many more were lying
near the wharf ready to disembsrk.
Our informant denies that any Of the city Off
cials were arrested, or any of the newspapers
suppressed CenSors were appointed ever the
latter, however, and the publication Of every
thing suppressed which Is autagonistic to the
Lincoln government and its war policy. But
LEE and the other army officers had made the
st. Charles Hotel their headquarters. The
Evans Hotel had been converted into a hospi-
tai, and possession taken Of the custom house,
jackson railroad depot. and ona-haifof the City
Hall.
-Four g~unbosts and one transport with troops,
left for the upper river Saturday. When sixteen
miles above they cut the Baton Rouge Telegraph
wire, and carried of a section Of it so that it
could not be easily repaired. Il wss supposed
that these troops were designed TO garrison the
capitol
The Wm. II. Morrison is said to be the only
steamboat that was burned. AL the cotton in
the city and opposite, except about eighty bales,
was destroyed Provisions are scarce, -four sell
ing at S28 per barrel. The people continue, as
was expected, to be defiant toward the invaders.

The Cincinnati Gazette has a correspondent
with the Federal fleet above Fort Pillow, who
writes to that paper under date of the oath ult-,
as follows:
Just as l was drawing my brief letter OF yes
terday to a conclusion, intelligence was received
ON this. the Tennessee side Of the river, where
the flagship and most of the vessels composing
the hotula are anchored, that the levee on the
Arkansas shore had been cut by our troops, and
that tho water was rushing through at a furious
rate. threatening to open a new chan
mel in a short time. AT that time 1t was impOs-
sible to learn anything further of this important
stem. as the mail was on the eve OF departing
and I had barely time to refer to 1t IN g lew
lines.
writer says:
The primary object of this act was not, as 1t
was at first supposed, to open a new channel Tor
boats, that the enemy might be circumvented'
as thew were at Island No. 10, although 1t may
vet result in that, but to wash out the rebel
scouts, who were constantly prowling about the
neninsuIa which separates Us from Fort flloW.
One of these adventurers, by the by, approached
too near onr lines Yesterday morning, and paid
for bbs temerity with his life. Scouts IN that VI
cinitv now. on either side can only indulge IN
their favorits pastime by means OF skitts OF
canoes. The practice of throwing out advance
ouerds and pickets, which prevails everywhere,
Unless it be up the Tennessee rYer, Is therefore
rendered not only unnecessary, but Impossible
in this quarter. No danger OF q surprise here
now even though Gen. Grant himself were In
command. There is water, water every
where" and very little that is good to drink.

mPORTANT FROm ARKANsAs.

From a gentleman who lett Pocahontas on
Wednesday evening last, we have intelligence
Of the movements of the enemy in that section OF
Arkansas, of a rather startling character. On
the Dist ultimo, the advance of General Steele's
division, under command of Col. Curtin, reached
Pocahontas, where they We're q]uartered upon the
people for nine days, awaiting the advance OF the
remainder of the column. The advance brigade
numbered twenty-five hundred infantry, SIX
pieces Of artillery, and two companies OF cayal-
". The whole division was stated to be about
nine thous and strong, which was scattered on
the road from Reeves station to Batesville, over
one hundred miles. This order of marching was
forced upon them, owing to the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning supplies.
On the morning of the 9th, the advance re-
ceived marching orders, and on the afternoon OF
the same day the cavalry moved forward. Ihe
next day the infantry followed. Their destins-
ton was announced to be Little Rock, and they
were to be followed by the balance of the col
umn. The distance from Pocahontas to Little
Rock is one hundred and sixty miles, and the
route a good one-it being what is called the
military road. The Federal officers were conf
dent Of their ability to accomplish their object
and went so far as to assert that PHELPS, OF
would be appointed Military Governor
Of arkansas.
The army was supplying itself by a plllaglng
system of f~orsging. The bacon and corn in the
OF the planters was seized, and receipts
given for the number of pounds and bushels OF
each. These documents were in every instance
accompanied by the promise that the owners
be paid six cents q pound for the first,
thitv-fve cents a bUsheI for the latter, at
the expiration of one year on condition they
took the oath of allegiance, and remained loyal
10 the Federal government during that period.
The personal effects of such as were sscertained
70 be in the Confederate army were seized and
,onfscated, and numerous infamous outrsges
2erpetrated upon the property Of other citizens
who were known to be southern rights men.
Unless an effort is made to countersct this
movement, the invaders will be able to infiet
injury upon the State. 1t seems to us,
however, that a small force might prevent this,
md so harass the scattered detachments of the
,nemy as to finally drive him back. Should it
lot be done7

The Federal Army in tho West.

After asserting that Generals Price and Van
Dom had moved east of the Mississippi, the
St. Louis Republican says:
One great source Of regret win be that Gen.
Curtis army the gallant heroes of LeetOwu
] and Elkhom Tavern-wili not be able to partici-
pate in the impending fight, and offset the rebel
! forces whom they chased ont of Missouri into
the mountains Of Arkansas It will be a sore
trial TO the brave soldiers in the Southwest to
know that events Of the utmost importance to
the country and the government are going on
whilst necessity compels them to lay in camp
with no enemy in front. The necessity is una
voidable. Pursuit Of Van D0rn's and Prices
men, after the battle of Pea Ridge, was sheer
impOssibiity. Their retreat could not be cut of.
owing to the immensely superior advantages
the rebels had for transportation and to have
advanced further into an exhausted and sterile
country would have been but to have encounter
ed the next thing to starvation without any ade-
quate return
We presume that General Curtis column Will
remain IN StatW quOs with only such movements
as shall be necessary for the better collection of
forage and supplies, until the fall of Mempbis
gives Gen llalleck command Of tho Arkansas
and White rivers, when the army of the South
west will JOIN the army Of the Mississippi, and
be ready 70 pursue the enemy to the gulf, if he
shall not have completely surrendered and laid
down his arms before that time.

From Fort Piunm.

Special Dispatch to tue Chicago Times.l
CAIRO, Ill, April 28.-The steamer Shing-
hiss reached here tonight from Fort Pillow.
The bOmbaTdment is still progressing, though
our mortsrs fire but few shots.
Twenty-nine d~eserters from the enemy came
in on Sunday, and were taken on board the gun
boats by order of the flsg-oficer.
The commandment will soon be opened in
earnest, and the rebel stronghold will be shelIed
constantly until the enemy s~urrenders.
There IS a report, which is deemed reliable,
that the rebel gunboat fleet is coming up the
river to attack our hotilla, and then make a bold
strike for the possession of the Mississippi. The
enemy are known TO have a number of powerful
g%unboats quite equal in strength and capsbility
to our own but whether they dare attack us is
a far different thing.
On the reception of news of the intended
attack, a steamer was Immediately dispatched
to Island 10, having on board a force of gun
ners sufficient TO man the batteries on the
island. This step was thought advisable in
view OF the reported attack by the rebel feet.

TEE FRENCH MINISTER'S To
sSICHMOND-

There is equally as much speculation among
the northern rs among the southern journals in
regard to the late visit of NJ. MERCER, tE
French minister to Richmond. The Washing,
ton Star asserts that he held no official commu
nication whatever, while there, with any person
but the Consul Of his own government, but that
he saw and conversed, uuoficially, with many
persons he had known in Washington society,
and among them BENJAMIN, the Secretary Of
State.
The Courier des EtGtS inns, of New York
very likely 70 be web informed, says the visit OF
n. MERCER was to "learn for himself the con-
di6ou Of affairs aud the direction in which they
tend. especially in what nearly or remotely con
Germs French interests. Il the word recon
no;sance' can be applied outside of military
movements, the general object Of his visit may
Be defined as a diplomatic reconnaissance
We think this opinion more liable to be cor
rect than any speculation we 5ave yet aaer or
the subject.
