The fNow York Freeman Journali,

quito popular here with the rebels, aud
considerable numbers Of them are bought
by The admirers Of Sir Richard Mccain
and King Isham. A few extracts from
the journal will account for their par
TALLY. lie New Orleans correspondent
writes thus of the expulsion Of rebels
from that city:
The Lord hath taken away all her
mighty men out OF her midst There
fore does she weep, aud her eyes run
down with water, because her comforter
hath fed from her. Her children are
desolate because the invader hath pre-
vailed. The number Of frue men in the
Crescent City has been much diminished
by the departure q the registered. New
faces and new and questionable char
Acters are often encountered, intsrspersed
with renegades Of rulian stripe, who have
been "ail things by turns and nothing
long"
He mourns the loss Of Slidell ct ID
omne genus:
Our able, and leading, and trustworthy
members Of the bar-S0tthegn gentlemen,
free from j udas' taint-no longer practice
in tho courts. They would not bow
them down before the Yankee Moloch,
the Faneuil Hall fanatics, aud the negro
sssentators-much less associate with
the once soavsngers and Q6al Of he courts, nor
Nth the ipgrat lChom Nel0 Oileans has
enriched and elevated from he most humble
positions.
The aristocracy seem to decline and
the great masses are rising TO their
proper elevation, therefore this rebel
weeps.
Speaking of the late Gen. Barksdale
Of Mississippi killed in one of the
recent battles, a notorious drunkard aud
r%ufian, another correspondent Of the
Jurnsl says:
As a Statesman he ranked ia the FIRST
class, far exceeding any in the North at
the present time, while, as a gentleman,
be stood in the first position-kind,
affable and gentle. In argument be was
forcible and determined, and generally
successful. When be arose to speak, his
appearance demanded attention, and he
nobly advocated his cause md left his
opponent without a reply. When the
clash of arms came, he rushed to defend
his cause. Barksdale has fallenl His
glory is his own, bis States, and news
papers articles cannot destroy it.
An Illinois correspondent says:
The question with most Democrats
out this way is To what end should
we go into the army, to be slaughtered
under imbecile Generals, in the wicked
attempt TO conquer a free and noble
people? Let us rather die here at
home, IL die We must in defence of our
home rights, more dear 10 us than a
Union which no longer has an e~xisteneeri
Such is the reasoning of the people. Il
not their logic correct?
The invasion OF t1e North troubles us
not at all, nor does it create any local
excitement. Crowds pass the bulletins
daily, and read with apparent unoOn-
Germ.
The editor of the Journal, one Of the
lowest blackguards in the country, and
a renegade, says of The invasion O
Pennsylvania:
We, who hold that the people of 3
State have a right to mould it's destinies

Again, thisrebel renegade editor says
The Federal power has no constitu

aHgthing, much less TO furnish soldiers
The State is a sovereignty, and in il

These sentiments, with many others 0
like character, are TO be found In th
Journal Of the l1th inst. Certainly n
