A NEW PAPER IN NEW ORLEANS.
THE Delta DEPUNCT.

We have already announced that the New
Orleans Daily DELTA" edited by Captain"
John Clark, was suppressed by Gen. Banks.
A letter writer says 1t will be issued in future
under the name Of The Era. Lieut.. Col. Hills,
OF the Fourth Louisiana regiment, who has
seen considerable active service in the Penin-
sulAr campaigns, assumes the editorial chair,
and will be assist ed in his labors by Mr.. A. G.
Hills, correspondent OF the Boston Journal.
Lieut.. Col. A. c. Hills has for many years
been connected with the New York BSening
Post, and lntterly has been out with the expe-
dition as a special correspondent for the New
York Herald. The tone Of the paper will be
changed.
We were not so much surprised to learn that
the Delta was suppressed by Gen. Banks, as
We were to hear that 1t had ever been conducted
by John Clark, who formerly managed the
Boston Courier. No paper published in this
country, North or South, made greater exer-
ton, according to Its strength and ability, to
abuse and misrepresent the General Govern
ment, or accomplished more, according to its
limited circulation, to aid In bringing about
the existing rebellion, than did the Courier
under the management Of this same Clark.
No man knows this letter than Gen. Banks.
As soon as the rebellion broke out, Clark, who
had done so much to produce II, sought q COM
mission in the Federal army, not IN the ranks,
but in the commlBsary department. He OBJ
tanned 1t. His name went to the Senate for
confirmation, and he was rejected. He was
denounced by two Senators, both Of whom ho
had abused in the Courier. Hearing that he
was not confirmed, u he came to Washington
and had an interview with the Senators who
defeated him, assuring them, In the most posi-
tive manner, that he did not write the often.

George Lunt, ga Sycophantic penny-a-llner,
and poor rhyme writer" of Boston, was the
author Of them, &C., &C. Tho Senators yielded
to the persuasive eloquence Of Clark. His
name came up in the Senate again, and there
was mo objection" 10 him. He who was SC

now as white as the Purest snow He waG
confirmed. He was ordered to duty at Fortress
Monroe, and from thence managed TO get or
dered to New Orleans. Gen. Butler finding
him there, and knowing better than any othsl
man how TO make disloyal material serve
good purpose, allowed Clark--who Is a Clevel
newspaper man enough, II he Is not allowed
too much scope with the opinions Of the pape
with which he may be connected-to taxi
chargeOf tho Delta. Gen. Butler took gOot
care that the columns Of the Deltd had goot
loyal ring about them each day. After Gen
Butler left, the tone Of the editorials in tha
paper changed. Con. Banks discovered II

tFrom the Charleston Mercury, Feb. Is.l
We have serious work before us. Tho enc
my's assault, so long deferred, will, for that
reason, be the more formidable Every agency
that human power and ingenuity, urged on by
deviliSh hate, can command, will be used TO
capture or destroy the "hotbed Of the rebellion"
The blow that ls about to fall may be the last
We shall receive in the struggle for cur inde-
pendenco, but Il will be dealt with the strength
OF despair. The foe comes with the avowed
purpose 10 sack our homes and plough our
streeta with his round shot; and should his
power prove equal 10 his malice, that will be
no empty threat
We arc ready for the ordeal. Tho brave sol
diers who man the fortllcAtions which belt the
old city on every side, arc eager TO meet their
expected assailantS and test the value Of tho do
fences which have cost so many months Of pa
tlent toll. Our matchless little naval squadron
will have the long desired opportunity 10 en-
counter tho Yankee iron-clhds. And, como
what may, We have the cheering assurance
from our general that the city shall be held.
Let each man do his duty in the approaching
hour Of our trial, and Charleston, which open.
ed this bloody struggle, will finish II In second

THE POLICY OF NAPOLEON III.

From the Richmond Examiner, February 20.
The mails from Europe become eyery day
more important and interesting. The tenor Of
the intelligence which we publish indicates very
clearly that NapOloon's concern with the Amer
lean struggle is not finished by Stewards rejoc-
ton Of his offers. No one who has observed
the EmperOr's usual method. Of procedure In
foreign affairs, and reflected on the principal
facts Of his history could expect that relinqush-
ment. Louis BonAparte Is a man who never
steps backwards. In the American affair he
has 80 far proceeded as he did In his great enter
prises OF Russia and Italy. In these and all
similar undertakings, the first notice of his
connection with the subject was dropped in the
form Of vague hint on some occasion when Il
was least expected. After an interval came a
few colorless official phrases, dificult 10 under

Purporting to have been sent across the Kappa

declaration that the President of the United

the proprety Of publishing such trash in detail,
ina paper protesting not only to be loyal, but

The Attorney General and the Supreme

1t has been remarked upon, as a noticeable
fact, that In the recent argument Of the great
prize causes in the Supreme Court, In which
questions Of the greatest importance to our
Government, as affecting our foreign relations
as well as the rights Of citizens, tho Attor-
ney General has taken no part. Nor, indeed,
has he done SO in any of the many cnses during
the present term, in which the United States is
a party. Distinguished counsel have been en-
ployed, and, we suppose, are specially paid
from some fund provided by law for the pur-
pose Still, IL would seem appropriate that,
whero great questions Of constitutional and
International law arc TO be dealt with, the
highest law officer Of the Government should
give 70 them his personal discussion as well as

The troubles which alluded TO In one Of my
recent letters, between the Negro regiments
and our soldiers at Baton Rouge, have not yet
subsided, and are still the cause Of much agita-
tlon and dissatisfaction with both officers and
men. A large number Of designations have
been sent In TO headquarters on account Of the
presence Of the Third Louisiana Native Guard,
colorod regiment, at Baton Rouge, and spirit
Of characterization prevails among nearly all
tho troops, The feeling of prejudice aRd bitter
hatred extends to all the regiments, and is
shared by the majority of the commissioned
officers, who assert they will not participate in
any engagement were negroes are placed in
command as commissioned Officers.
Some Of these officers have threatened to kill
the first colored officer that offers to assume In
any way military authority In their presence.

BrigSdier General Grover, tho latter now in
command at Baton Rouge, do not approve Of
commissioning colored officers. Colonel Stat

and Colonel J. A. Nelson, of the Third LouI.

to-day fora purpose Of having an interview
with General Banks on this important matter.

which is causing a great amount of demorali-

The most Characteristic features OF the Stock
