FROM NEW ORLEANS.

The New Orleans correspondent of the Chicago
Times, of the Gath ult, gives long dispatches
from which we copy the following:
The guerrllas are burning cotton near Baton
Rouge and Port Hudson, and force of Confeder-
ates, under General Logan, is said to have made a
raid on Port Hudson, killing and capturing several
hundred negroes there, and driving all within the
| entertainments.
1t has settled into general belief that the rebels
have got Fort Adams and Grand Gulf, and are
busy fortitying; and that Prices force, or portion
OF 1t, has turned up at or Helena, Ark on
the river. 1t is evident that the Cenfederates are
making another attempt to shut up the river and
should not'be surprised if the recalled Texas ex-
petition will be thrown back to points ON the Mis-
| slslppi to checkmate the Confederates
The Texas expedition was abandoned because of
the certainty of conflict with the French; the
troops are to be thrown to points on the Mississp-
PIT to prevent their occupation by the rebels, and
the expedition when next formed is to operate
against Mobile.
| am greatly afraid that trouble will ensue on
the Mississippi. Everything looks that way
Perhaps rapid movements will Illustrate reported
operations of the Confederates
The rebel raid into Baton Rouge was on an i'm.
mense scale killing, capturing, and destroyino
greatly. They carried off immense amounts Of
stores. Loss said to be as much as So 900, 900.

THANK GOD FOR THAT!

We learn that the President has dismissed all
the British Consuls from the Confederacy in con-
sequence of the attitude they lately assumed to-
wards this Government in the affair of calling on
British born subjects to bear arms in defence of
their homes The Government has never, since
its installation, done better or more popular deed.
1t is but the complement to the recall of Mr.. Ma
son. and that act of vigor- would not have been
complete without it. The only fault we have to
find with it is that it has been deferred too long.
Great Britain ignores our existence, let us by ali
means ignore hers. Her minister at Washington
calls the ConfeGeracy "the so-caUed Government
OF the Confederate States" We can retort by
calling the Government of Great Britain "the So
called Government Of Her Brittanic Majesty"
Our existence IS just as pabe fact as the ex-
istence of Great Britain. If she does not know
US, there is reason earth why we should
know he-. Perhaps the time may come when she
may feel the want of Consuls here. We trust
none will be admitted who come here with ereaud-
turs signed by Seward.
This affected ignorance of our existence is one
Of the most contemplate exhibitions of British
ttleness, but it is not the most contemplate.
When they held Napoleon in captivity, they in
sisted on his being addressed as General Bona
parte;" although he had been declared Emperor Of
the French by the votes of three millions of
Frenchmen, and had been recognized as such by
all the Continental powers. This attempt to ig-
more all the stupendous events of the Emperor's
reign has long since been rewarded with the con-
tempt of the civilized world The present attempt
is even. more paltry and more pitiful, and we arr
delighted beyond measure to see it resented in the
proper spirit-Richnond Dispatch. -
Our SURGEONS AND CHAPLAINs IN YAM
KEE PRIsoNs.-It has been customary with civ
ized' nations at war to regard surgeons and chap
lains as com batants and agents of humanity,
and not as prisoners of war. But since it is plain
we are fighting people only few removes from
the savage, the Confederate authorities must be
compelled to do as they done by. BY recent
arrival from the North we have been placed in.
possession of the approximate number of Confede-
rate surgeons held prisoners. There are sixty
five at Fort McHenry, Baltimore; twenty-six at
Fort Delaware; four or five at Johnson's Island,
(Lake Erie, Ohio,l and three or four remaining at
Gettysburg, at which place nearly all of them were
captured. The victory at Chickamauga has given
the Confederacy an equalization, if not prepon-
derance of this class of prisoners and if Bragg in
the goodness of his heart, has not exchanged them
all on the field sincerely trust they will be used
to secure the release of surgeons and chaplans
undergoing the privations and seclusion of the
Northern dungeons.
Our Commissioner of Exchange can now afford
to stop mincing matters and to come right to the
naked subject-negro no negro Richmond
Examiner.

a WoNDER.-A man has turned up lately, who
offers to sell twenty cents lower than the market
prices. We agree with the Mississippian that he
must be either curiosity in morals, an extraordi-
nary phenomenon, or tusus nature, aud ought,
herefore, to be put in glass case, and exhibited
in museum, or else he is lunatic, and fit only
for an asylum for the insane In these enlis hten-
ed days, when generally take all they can get,
q man like this exposes his sanity to very grave
suspicion. Perhaps, the truth is, that while men
generally are ''mad their idols" and thousands
are crazed in the pursuit of gain, this solitary in
dividual has escaped the general contagion, and is
the only sane man in the world of madness

THE PATENT OFFICE-During the three
months ending with the Both ult., twenty. three
patents have been issued from the Confederate

military purposes, there being four for torpedoes
two for projectiles, one for breach loading cannon
one for breach-loading firearms, one for artif
cial leg, which we take to be a warlike implement
or at least necessity created by war; one for
bullet machine, by compression, we suppose; one
for a fuze guage and CUTTER and one for an explo
sive apparatus. The rest are mostly fo- wooden
shoe soles, shoe pegs, and other things suggestive
of close blockade and defective supply Of lrath

GEN PEMBERToN's SPEEcH-We find the fol-
lowing in late issue Of the Knoxville (Atlanta)
Register:
Gen: Pemberton was called on to make speech
some days ago at village south of this place.
There were present some two thousand of the ex-
changed Vicksburg prisoners. The General said
that he felt much embarrassment, because for the
time cloud rested upon him, and besides he was
willing to wait the authoritive vindcation of his
character by competent tribunal. eff, however"
continued the General, "any of those exempts and
gentlemen who have substitutes, and those specu-
lators who have denounced me as a coward and
traitor through the press or otherwise, will organ
ize themselves into regiment, brigade or division,
and will then march with me to the 'front.' the
world shall determine who of US are towards and
who are traitors. [ have not been denounced by
any brave soldier officer from Vicksburg, neither
have my soderly qualities and patriotism been
called in question by them, but by those carpers
aud critics at home who have already done infinite
mischief"
Such, substantially, was part of Gen Pember-
tons speech. The Vicksburg soldiers applauded
to the very echo. Men that we know of should
make note of Penberton's fair proposition.

THE NORTHERN INDIAN WAR.-A telegram
from St. Paul, MINI, in the Chicago Times, says
Adjutans General Malmros, the great Black Re-
publican war horse and Indian scalper, is out in a
new order, offering $500 each for dead Indians.
He and his party ashamed of their scalp boun-
ty order, and the scalp is no longer required as
evidence of the killing of male Sioux Indian.
The most OF the State papers express great dis
satisfaction with the conduct and result of the In
dian 1t is the general belief that, while two
million of dollars are discussed to kill about one
hundred Indians in twelve months, the Sioux. ike
the niger, is too profitable customer to dispose
OF by any very summary process.
