New oRIEANs, La, Oct 18th, 1868.

Dear Journal We reached this city on
the 10th inst after tedious journey, grow
ing out Of distractions from sandbars and the
immense movement of troops, which absorbed
some eighty steamers.
There was no special news either at Nicks-
burg, Natchez, Port Hudson, Bayou Sara Or
Baton Rogue. 4 gobble" or two OF few
men on either side, comprised the stock of
two proceeding weeks. Nor does war news
abound here. The 18th Army Corps has
moved from Brashier City TO Fermillion River
and the Tensas. but 50 far without serious op-
position. Indeed It is doubtful if the traitors
can in any way muster more than q, 900 men
in all Texas, and it is not believed that any
very serious fight viii take place. 1t is at
Galveston and on the Rio Grande that armies
are wanted
] need scarce say that this city and the
country about to a fresh Northerner ike my
self abounds in many new and curious things
It's upon the t proper, although the great
river has pushed narrow delta 100 miles out
into the Gulf The sea sends up its estuaries,
or rather tho land has been pushed into the
sea. leaving the estuary on either hand. Lake
Pontchartrain Is but eight miles distant, and
supplies most beautifully this market with
oysters, schrimp, crabs, croakers, and the
endless variety of ocean fish adapted to warm
water The country about for hundreds of
miles Is low level fat, through which the
Mississippi wends its way, and the whole of
which would be subject to overflow annually
had not levees been constructed to hedge IN
the surplus waters. The immense deposit of
mud at the bottom Of the stream being great
er than the quantity washed into the Gulf,
lifts up the body of the river, so that not on
ly its waters but the lands adjoining are high
CT than those IN the rear, which are nearly on
& level with the Gulf. II is thus that water
runs from the river instead of towards it
These immense bottoms are the sugar cane
lands, and sugar is the product Of the eoun-

A REPORTER PuZZLED.-Mr. Russell, the
Times correspondent, was sent years ago to
ireland to report O'Connell's speeches during
the repeal agitation. The following is told as
the result of his mission:
One OF the first meetings the newspaper
man attended was in Kerry. Having heard Of
O'Connell's polite qualities, he thought he
would ask that gentleInan's permission to take
verbatim account of the Grafton. The "lib-
orator" not only consented, but in his oiest
manner, informed the assembled audience
that, until that gintleman was provided with
all writin' communicates, he wouldn't spake a
word assuming an extra brogue, which was
altogether unnecessary. Russell was delight
ed. The preparations began, and were COM
pleted; Russell was ready.
Are you quite ready?" asked Dan.
"Quite ready"
snow, are you sure you're entirely ready? ?"
"I'm certain, sir. Yes
The crowd becoming excited and impatient,
Dan said: Now pom my conscience won't
begin my speech ill the London gintleman is
entirely ready"
Affer waiting another moment or so, O'Con-
nell advanced; eyes glistened; ears were all
attention, and the reportorial pencil arose.
Dan gave one more benignant smile on the
correspondent, winked at his auditors, and
commenced his speech in the Irish language,
to the inexpressible horror of the present edi-
tor Of the Army and Nary Gazette, and to
the infinite delight of all Kelly.
