New Orleans Reported Captured.

Colonel Claiborne, OF the army, who passe1 through
Atlanta On Monday evening, direct from Mobile, re-
ports New Orleans as having been recaptured by Gen
Dick Taylor, aud that General Magruder was pushing
on to Fort Jackson, which was garrisoned by three
hundred negroes, and which, it was supposed, would
fall an easy conquest before our arms.
The Memphis (Atlanta) Appeal is inclined to give
credence to this report for the reason that by the latest
dispatches Cen Taylor represented to have capt red
important point tea miles North of the city, the
New Orleans and Great Northern Rail Road, and
heavy firing afterwards heard in the direction OF
and to the city If the news shall prove true it
and eectuay put check upon the future operations
OF Banks in Louisiana.
Since writing the above. we have received the Mo-
bile Register of the 4th, which says:
A number of private dispatches were received last
night from Jackson, stating that New Orleans had
been captured by our forces under Generals Magruder
ard Taylor.
The news was brought to jackson, it is said by
Lieut. Scott, G. S. A. One story is that our troops
crossed the river at Gen. Tayors plantation above
New Orleans and, perhaps, used three large steamers
ne had previously captured at Paquemine for that pur-
pege.
The news is of the first Importance and is calculated
TO change the whole aspect OF the Western palgn,
provided it be true.
1t is little singular that neither the Agent of the
Associated Press at Jackson nor our own special re-
porter at that place have telegraphed word about it,
We hear that the has been officially received here,
but the hour is too late to verify the report.
The Tribune Of the same date has dispatch refer
ring to the report given by Lieutenant Scott, as fol-
lows
JACKSON, July 2.-Lieut Scott, of the artillery, has
arrived here. He left New Orleans on Tuesday and
confirms the previous reports of the taking of Ken
ner.
He says that Gen. Taylor crossed the river at his
own plantation
Gen. Magruder had captured some 1000 negroes at
Brashear City and sent them to Texas. He was on
his way below to take one OF the forts which was
cupied by only 800 negroes and he would then act With
Gen. Taylor against New Orleans
Lieut.. Scott, he says has no doubt but that New
Orleans is in the hands of the Confederates, as
there were only four or FIVE hundred troops there.
He says be saw the Confederate flag flying at Ken
ner's ard below.

/ congratulate you On the adoption OF plan, which
will relieve you and the taxpayers, and protect the

ul, your energetic operation is required In order
that the taxes may reach the hands OF the Treasurer
and other fiscal agents. or before the 28th inst The
State expects that you and the Taxpayers will heartily
cooperate in carrying out the plan.
Where you may not be able to get here by the time
indicated with the money, you at liberty to carry
the Confederate notes you may have received dated
prior to the 9th April 1868, to any depository of the

ment and certificate of the Comptroller.
AS have not the power myself to receive the taxes
