Thc Reconstruction of the
UuiOu.

II is a significant fact that when the
report Of the fall Of Port Hudson was
received in New Orleans, the citizens
celebrated the joyful event with music,
professions, and all those delnonstra-
tons with which people usually give
expression to their joy
The history of this city since the
date Of its capture by the navy and
its occupation by the Uuion forces,
gives a definite answer TO a question
which ha, been greatly agitated dun
ing the progress Of this rebellion
Rebel sympathizers have affirmed with
exultaiion that could not be conceal
ed, that the South could never be con-
quered, that, even though our armies
should take possession of their cities
and hold tie people in mcmentiry
subjec'ion, the old spirit would never
die out and would eventually free H.
self from tie presence Of tie invading
oppressors. Mary Of undoubted 10y
atty have feared that union resior-
ed by force Of arms would be but a
union IN form, ard that the hearts OF
The people could never again be unit
ed. Tie result Of the Federal rule in
New orleans, proves that tie hopes
Of the fogmer and the Scare Of the lat
Ter were without foundation.
After an unsuccessful defence, New
Orleans lay a, the mercy Of her con-
qaerors The h4ted Yankees march
ed in and occupied her public build
ings and p'aaes Of resort. Her streets
were pntroled by blue-cosis, and her
cilizens we're placed under the sific,-
