New Orleans in Danger.

If it be true, as stated in the telegraph,
yesterday, that the ironclad fleet is to be
sent from Charleston to the Mississippi, the
reason is probably to be found in the fears
entertained at present for the safety o
New Orleans. a correspondent of the
New York Times gives an alarming &C.
count of the situation of the Crescent
City. His letter is dated April 9TH:
Our city, for the first time since it was
taken possession of by the national troops,
is seriously threatened, and we are now,
with thrty-five thousand troops, terrifying
the approaches, which were entirel neg
lected for seven long months, when we
had only ten thousand effective men in the
department. The fact is that the enemy
is steadily concentrating his forces within
striking distance of us, and although |
cannot conceive it possible that he would
assault place containing one hundred and
fifty thousand people, more than half of
whom are women and children, and nearly
all, sentimentally at least, the enemy's
friends, but time will determine. To JUS
tify my remark that the city of New Or
leans is now for the first time since its
capture, seriously threatened, I would
state that there are now at Port Hudson
twenty-four thousand troops; at jackson,
Mississippi, twelve thousand; on the Atch
afalaya, fifteen thousand: and at Mobile,
ten thousand-making total of sixty-two
thousand men, who could, by railroad IA
cilities, be concentrated upon this point in
twelve hours. 1t is stated bya gentleman
recently from Mobile, that great prepara
tons are being made there to take Ship
Island, and that the transports and troops
necessary for the purpose are now in read
mess, and only waiting the command to
leave. So great is considered the danger,
the light on the island, by the United
States authorities, has been eXtinguished.

The Indian War.

The Sioux City Register of the 21st ult.,
says that under the direction of General
Cook, arrangements were being perfected
for the Indian expedition. The Sixth Iowa
cavalry was anxiously looked for. The
programme arranged for the expedition
contemplates movement directly up the
Missouri river upon both sides, by the
troops under command of General Cook,
to be accompanied by steamer with sup
plies, while the force being organized in
Minnesota will proceed in more norther-
ly route in the direction of Devils Lake,
in the neighborhood Of which junction
will propably be formed, when such ar
engagements will be made for further ope-
ratiOns as circumstances may suggest.

VfndictiVeness.

We cannot approve Of the spirit manifested
by large portion of the people of Minnesota
towards the tribe of Sioux. The barbarities of
last summer were, we know, of character far
from being calculated to engender feeling of
kindness towards the Indians; bnt since the
execution at Mankato we have not heard ofany
conduct on the part Of the Sioux serving to
keep alive the desire for vengeance so generally
exhibited at the time of the outbreak. 1t
seems to us that the Minnesotians ought to be
satisfied with the provisions of Congress to re
move the tribes beyond the State.-St. Ions
Republican.
We are surprised to see an article of this
character, in western paper, and one OF
so much ability as the Republican. The
barbarities spoken of, the Republican
knows little about, for, by common con-
sent, the full details have never been pub
lished, and the "spirt of vindictiveness'
towards those innocent of the murders and
outrages, does not prevail to any great ex-
tent We regard the provisions of the bill
for removing the Indians, very much in
the light of the emancipation proclamation
the Indians must be first caught before
they can be removed.

Enlistment of Aliens.

The New York papers profess to have
reliable information that one of the COM
plications with British authorities consists
in the enlistment of unnaturalized British
subjects into our army. Numerous appli-
cations have been made for their release
at the different English :onsulates, and
also to Lord LYONS, on the ground that
our Government could not hold them as
soldiers, they not having been naturalized !;
and as such, are entitled to the protection
of the British crown. Lord LYONS has
had an audience with Mr.. SEWARD on the
subject. The British Minister declared
that English subjects in this country could
not be legally held to service in the Amer
can army that they were subjects Of her
Majesty, and that he then applied for their
unconditional release. Mr.. SEWARD, how
ever, declared that the mastering in which
such soldiers voluntarily took, bound them
for the term of service for which they
enlisted.
Lord LYONS, it is now said, has since
sent a communication to Lord PALMERs-
TON on the subject, and awaits his instruc-
tons before taking any further action.

FOraging in General Grants Army--
Cotton Picking.

A letter from near Vicksburg says that
within the last month foraging parties
have been frequently sent out from the
different corps Of GRANTS army and have
succeeded in obtaining possession Of
large quantities Of cotton and corn. Grain
has been found in such quantities on some
of the plantations that most of our army
horses has been fed by the Confederacy
since the commencement of the siege. In
addition to the thousands of bales of cot
ton already seized and sent up the river,
there are thousands more in hiding-places
of which our officials are informed, and
which will be taken care of as soon as the
water recedes so as to give our troops a
chance to get at them. In one place
there are twenty-five hundred bales of the
staple belonging to the Confederacy, be-
ing part Of the basis for the Government
loan. It is inaccessible at present, but
will be within reach in few weeks.

Another Witness against Wade and
Chandler.

Following the scathing letter from Gen.
CoCHRANE on the WADE and CHANDLER re-
port, is one published in the Tribune,
from Gen. VIM. F. SMITH. In the famous
"report," this officer is charged with be-
ing cognizant of the successful effort made
by Gems. NEWTON and CooHRANE to OBJ
tain Presidential interference with the
plans of Gen. BURNSIDE, WADE and CHAND-
LER get the lie direct as follows:
So far as the above statements relates to me,
they are without shadow of truth. left the
army of the Potomac to visit my home on the
Odd of December, and at that time had not the
faintest idea that General Burnside intended to
move against the enemy; for l had heard him
say, on the night of the 18th of December, in
presence of several general officers, that the
last order he should ever give to the army of
the Potomac wOuld.be to recroSs to the north
side of the Rappahanneck; and / did not look
for so such change in his plans; and of the
visit of the two Generals to Washington l knew
absolutely nothing till it was over.
The "report will speedily fall to pieces
of its own weight, after the manner of the
zone horse shay" Seldom has so slim
vehicle been so heavily loaded with mis-
representation and falsehood.

What has been and what is to be done.

General Halleck has written letter to
political meeting in New York, which let
ter he has signed officially. 1t may there
fore be deemed an official statement of the
'general-in-chief' as to the conduct Of the
war. He thus relates what has been done,
and what is to be done in the future He
says:
We have already made great progress
in this war-a greater progress than was
ever before made under similar crcum-
stance. Our armies are still advancing,
and if sustained by the votes of the patri-
otto million at home, they arW ere long
crush he rebellion in the South. AND THEN
place their heels upon hei heads Of
sneahing traitors IN The North.
Very respectfully. your obedient servant,
II. w. HALLECK, General-in Chief.
1t will be seen that while the armies are
to come north to place their heels upon
the heads of "sneaking traitors" the gen.
eral-in-chief postpones that service until
after the same armies have crushed the re-
belliOn. Crush the rebellion, General
Halleck and there will be DO difficulty in
catching andpunishing the ''sneaking trait
Ors" of the north.

Adiutant General Thomas and the
Army of the Mississippi.

We publish elsewhere the very remaka-
BILE speech of Adjutant General THOMAS, to
the army of the Mississippi. We fully
agree with the Cincinnati Commercial,
that it reads as if prepared by some un-
friendly person, with the intention of ma
king the Adjutant General appear in an
unfavorable light. If the report ap-
proaches accuracy as to the general drift
of the speech, we have to say that, in our
opinion, the Adjutant General could be
better employed than in lecturing the SOL
diers of the Army of the Mississippi on the
negro question. There is entirely too
much nose, in proportion to the perform
ance. as to the use of the negro in the war;
and II is notable that where there is the
most noise, there is the least per-
formance. The country has not been
agitated by the treatment OF negroes in
Gan RosEcRANs' department, and yet
mucb has been accomplished, as single
ct will illustrate. General SrEADMANs

War with England.

A radical paper makes the following
reckless statement:
There is. positively. no purticuar in which
war with England would materially help the
rebels, save in the diversion of sixty or seventy
thousand soldiers which would be employed in
Selling Canada. But this could easily be made
up by fresh levy.
Such fippant remarks deserve severe
condemnation. The writer is unable to
appreciate the condition of the country,
the Importance Of the blockading fleets,
the necessity of intercourse with foreign
markets, all the elements of prosperity
which now constitute our superiority to
the rebels, and all of which would be sac
rifced by war with England. No man
can advocate war with q European power
unless he is prepared to sacrifice the Union
cause.

Capture of Rowland.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Tribune, gives the following
account of the capture Of the defaulting
Quartermaster Rowland:
On the 18th ult, the matter was placed
in the hands of COL Baker, Provost Mar
shall of the War Department, who, with
his accustomed tact and energy, set to
work to catch Rowland and recover the
money if possible. Starting at the COM
mencement, he traced Rowland step by
step, until found at last in Hyacinth, Low
er Canada. AS he could not be arrested
in that country, it became necessary to get
him upon American soil again.
After innumerable ruses he was brought
over, he supposing all the while that ne
was on his way to Halifax to take the
steamer for Europe. Much to his surprise,
he then learned that his companions were
Col. Bakers assistants, and that he was
prisoner. The whole of the money drawn
at Riggs & Co.'S, has been recovered. A
part was taken at Pittsfeld, Mass, part
at Troy, New York, and the balance in
Canada. The full extent OF bis defalca-
tions has not yet been ascertained. How
land arrived in this city to-day and is now
in the Old Capitol Prison.

HoOker,s Army Moving.

Private letters received on Monday, state
that HooKER's army, has moved from the
north bank of the Rappahannock, and
that large portion of the forces under
HEINTzELMAN had also moved, but in what
direction the writer was unable to tell.
The Albany Journal of Thursday even
ing says: Passengers from Washington
last night report that HooKER's army NOV
ed in three directions yesterday, and that
a large body Of troops from Baltimore and
Washington, also were in motion. The
cavalry corps were understood to have
been extended forward at the same time.
The Washington Intelligence, of Mon
day says: "a great portion, if not all,
the troops around Washington, moved off
yesterday and day before; whittier we did
not learn, and should not deem it proper
to state, if we knew"
The Chicago Tribune of Saturday says
eve violate no confidence, and commit
no indiscretion in saying that the Army
of the Potomac is on the move. The
grand review by the President was signi-
ficant of a readiness for activity. We
shall soon know more"
Unless the rebels have fallen back on
Richmond, (and there is some reason to
believe they have,) HOOKER will not have
to move far before an encounter must
take place. We may look for stirring
news very soon.
