wounded, and the attention OF the surgeons and
UNIONIsM IN NEw-ORLEANS.

The Hon. John Hutchlns, special agent Oh tne
Government at Orleans, brings a most hopeiul
account Of the position of Union affairs in that Sec
ton. The people almost unanimously admit that
the Rebellion is failure and hope, for the sake of
peace, that the tail end Of treason may soon be
squelched. Mr. Huchins reports in favor Of re-
establishing the United States Mint, and thinks that
is establishment will make the citizens feel more
secure, and demonstrate that the fixed purpose OF
tie Government is to forever hold New Orleans.
Many Of the old banks of New.Oreans have become
insolvent, having subscribed at the commencement
of the war for Confederate bonds, now worthless.
These banks the people have confidence in, and
arrangements are being made to establish Ma
tional bank under the auspices Of the Controller Of
Currency. Mr.. Hutohns has already forwarded in
structions and forms for its establishment. The
supply Of cotton in Louisiana is much more extern
sive than was expected and it is now coming into
New-Orleans in large quantities. The Rebel cotton
burning theory, it seems never worked, and I'M
mense supplies Of cotton, thought TO be destroyed,
are continually coming to light. Twenty thousand
pounds are reaching the city daily. Sugar is held
at &c.. and the supply is ample, though it is thought
that only 10000 tuns were raised in the State Of
Louisiana during last year. The health of New
Orleans remains good and there is no prospect Of
yellow fever. Mr.. Huchins has done valuable
service in recognizing the civil departments OF
New. Orleans and the agents Of the Government
here apIrec relate the work done.

come when the colofod people could bonoraby offer
the mselyes TO the Government and that in rising III
defense Of tLeir country now, they we're, in very
literal sense, rising in defense OF ihemselves-in
marching upon the Rebels and Slavery, they were
really asserting Their manhood striking down
their disabtes and laying siege TO the bass ciia'
dels of prtjQdice in the North. S,li-respec, and
safety called them as loudly as patriotism. Douglas
said he had been commissioned by the President "a
