THE FEELING I'm NEW ORLEANS.

1t is when the iron yoke is once imposed, and
chains worse than those of slavery passed upon
a free people, that the trial comes, and the pure
hearted are tested. Such has been the fate of
New Orleans, and yet the brave spirit Of her
people remains true and devoted to the cause of
the South. A correspondent Of the Knoxville
Register pays the following tribute to her gallant
people:
1t has been suspicioned, and even suggested in
some quarters, that the people of New Orleans
had, to a considerable extent, proved recreant to
the cause of the South, and had either gone over,
soul and body, to the Yankees, or were ready to
buy immunity from Yankee exaction at almost
any price. But if the manifestations witnessed by
myself and my fel low soldiers, arrival at the
wharf OF the Crescent city, and during our entire
stay there, be true index Of the sentiments of the
people, there is not to-day ground down by the
iron-heel of the despot, as she ia more chival-
rous, loyal and patriotic city inf the Conederacy
New Orleans has, for more than twelve awful
months, suffered all that Yankee tyranny contains
and implies.
And how do her people feel and act to-day? In
short time after boat had landed the shore aud
leyee were lined and crowded with anxious visitors
The men stood back the ladies' the little girls and
boys crowded forward with baskets full of pro-
visions, their arms laden with good gifts beautiful
bouquets, wines, cordials fruits, sweatmeats, and
delicacies of all kinds, and in abundance, were
pressed upon us, by the kind hands and hearts of
the now despoiled and down troddcn, but still
hopeful, buoyant and devoted daughters of New
Orleans. Hospital stores Of every character, and
clothing much of the latter manufactured in
secret by the hands of those Imprisoned ladies'
we're rendered US. We permitted to receive
the stores for the sick and wounded but Yankee
cupidity and meanness would not allow the cloth
ing to come on board. Had ii not been prevented
| believe every soldier the boat would have
been furnished good, new suit out and out The
press continued all Sunday evening and early
the next morning; the scene was revived and re-
enacted, and continued all that day up to the hour
OF departure In fact [. had to notify them re-
peatedfy that we were amply supplied, and to re-
quest that no more be sent on board. All the time
Yankee bayonets glistened up and down the wharf
as the ayarleious, negroloving Massachusetts, hire
lings ohcyed the orders of their superors 10 press
ing back the crowd. But the fair and fearless
creole cared not for the bayonet point nor for the
oratlsn creature who held it when she had an OPP
portunlty OF aifordng comfort and happiness to the
sick and wounded Confederate soldier

M". Editor: The following lines were composed
BY Rev. P. N. S****@, of Union county, N. Z.
Shortly after the Battle of Bethel Church, and ar
now transmitted to you, hoping you will Civ
them place in your valuable paper: G. D. b.
I now proceed to make song
About the land where belong;
1t was land of gospel fame,
United States has been its name.
That glorious Union g now dissolved,
And We by war are much involved;
Religion now is growing cold,
Fulfilling what the Prophets told.
Where once Gods people met to pray,
There armies meet and batteries play;
If you will each the history search,
You'll find [ speak of Bethel Church.
We once enjoyed peaceful times,
AS much as any distant climes;.
But now we confusion reigns,
And human blood the forest stains.
And oh, how long will this endure,
Will peaceful times be seen no more?
oh Lord, if things thus ever stand,
Transport me to some foreign land.
The cause that we maintain is just,
And We have all been greatly blest;
We seek our rights and nothing more,
Which ancient christians did before.
They want to take our lands away,
And.al that IS sweet to life we will say;
Our earthly all, our heavenly gifts,
Ard rob us Of all happiness
IF this must be our awful lot,
May God from US existence blot:
Take us from war and pain and toll
Transport us to some distant soil.

FROM PORT ROYAL.
Full Particulars of the Fight be-
tween Two Iron-Clads-The At
lanta Grounds and Surrenders--
The Monitor Weehawken Unin-
jured

New YORK, June 23.-The following
is copy of the telegram received by
Capt. Ericsson from the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, dated Washington,
June %:
THE engagement CT the Atlanta was
exclusively with the Weehawken. The
former had seven-inch Brooks rife in
the bow and stern pivots, and one six
inch on each side She conld fight both
bow and stern and one side gun at the
same time. Capt. Rogers engaged at
close quarters. The first fifteen-inch
shot fired by himself took off the top of
the Atlanta's pilot-house wounding two
out of three pilots. Another fifteen-inch
shot struck halfway up the roof, which
was iron-plated, and four and a half
inches thick, killing one and wounding
seventeen. The Weehawken fired five
and the Atlanta six times. The latter
got aground and surrendered. The
Weehawken sustained no damage of any
sort. The Atlanta had ram, saw, and
torpedo on her bow, and was fitted for a
cruise. She is now at Port Royal
