A STARTLING PRosPECr.-wo understand
that Colonel Thorpe, at the meeting last night,
stated that the lcyGos above here were in statu
bordering on ruin. IN many places great holes
had been cut by guerillas for the purpose Of
bringing guns to bear upon the steamers plying
up and down, to shoot men and women who
were engaged in navigation. The river Is now
rising, and the water Is within n few feet Of an
overflow. Nearly the whole surface Of the
State is seV eral feet below the river at high
water mark, and If the rise continue, 1t is fear
I'd that the whole country win soon be several
feet under water. Not only Louisiana, but a
great portion Of Arkansas and Mississippi
would be thus submerged. The speaker said
hC expected that in less than ninety DAYS there
would not be dry land enough in the State 10
muster a guerilla band on, This is q fearful
prospect, and we are not prepared TO deny that
II Is Imminent,
At the organization Of the Third District
Splon Association, In New Orleans, on the
evening of January Esd, able Union speeches
were uttered, in which the greatest determine
ton was manifested to put down late treason
able manifestations of the rebels IN tho streets
of the city. On this subject the Della says;
The general sentiment prevailing at tho
meeting tended TO show that the loyal people
in this city are becoming tired Of the treason
able demonstrations which have lately been
made openly In the streets by the rebels. II
was the general sense Of the speakers that the
tlmo had como TO put stop to them. II was
alleged that impunity had made tho rebels
bold, aud fears were entertained that serious
results might follow unless treason was prompt
ly checked.
A committee of Eve from the Second District
Association was present, and series Of reso-
buttons presented from that body approving
the policy OF Gen. Butler while in this city, and
endorsing his farewell address. similar
committee was asked for from the Third Dis
tfict Association, with power to confer and
present these resolutions in an authoritative
shape. The required committee was appointed.
Also resolution passed, asking the various
Union associations to assemble in mass meet
ing for the purpose Of considering President
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, In order
10 show the people Of the North what the real
sentiments Of the people Of New Orleans were
on this important Government measure. Rec
olutions which 1t is proposed to introduce at
that meeting were read and approved OF by this
association, cordially approving Of the action
Of the President, and pledging the support Of
the loyal men of this city to any measure the
Government n y bring forward 10 crush out
the rebellion. Nothing must stand In the way
of success. All considerations ought to be
made to give way before the great one Of re-
storing the authority of tho Union and bringing
back peace to the land. This peace aust be-
acquired by conquest, and not by concedIng
the principles Of liberty to an arlstocracy found
cd on traffic In human beings.

tho morning, II was Joyous scene, and the
decorations OF tho hall, the good order and
splendid arrangements reflected credit upon the
able managers.
sECEsH WOMEN CONVEYED TO DIXIE.
Col. IlaFko. pFOvOgt MaFahal 81 H.,
Department Of the Gulf, has returned from his
trip to MadlsOnyllle, in the land of Dixie. He
lett here last wednesday morning on the steam
boat S. b. Brown, taking about ono hundred
and fifty women and children, and something
less than dozen old men, being all of the re-.
gistered enemies that availed themselves of the
privilege to cross the lines aud Join their friends
In that promising land Of promise and proml-
Bcs. The trip Is represented ne having been a
very agreeable and pleasant one being more
like party Of pleasure than party that was
bidding farewell to pleasure
Tie ladiIS at first prevailed upon Colonel
Clarke TO land them at Manchac; but, on ar
irving there, the scene Of dCsolation, and tho
| inhoBpitable appearance of the alligatOrs and
other hcTCo Inhabitants Of the sWamps in tho
uelghbOrhOOd Of the Pass, combined TO rive
/ such ulsHgrceablU notion of the wild region
which has been deserted by everything human,
/ that tho COlonels fair cargo was quite well
satisfied that Madsouvillo would be the best
/ point after all, at which to terminate their
| present journey. Accordingly, tho boat was
/ turned around, and the party Boon arrived at
that Important commercial city, which is to
the TChefunCta what New Orleans il 10 the
Mississippi, Rome to the Tlbcr, and London TO
tho Thames Here the rebel ladies were put
ashore, with their baggage and provisions.
They found but iow people In the town TO well
como them. There were no soldiers of the
COnfederacy In the nelghborhOod, and although
there were signs Of the gueTillas having recent
been about, they had all skcdaddlod on hearing
the whistle Of the Brown. As the stcamcT
backed out from tho wharf TO return, he Iadis,
gaze three heGrty cheers for Colonel CLARKE, FOL
lvl0sd by three for Their idol, Jefferson Dams
The boat len them on the wharf with theiI
traps-each anxious TO find some conveyance
to PUntChatOula-and desrOus Of reaching
railroad communication as soon as possible
They were principally tho wives and mother
of Confederate soldiers from this city, who
women-like, are anxious to Join their husbands
or sons, and share with them the hsrdships o.
