MAIL FACILITIES TO NEW ORLEANs.-The
Post Office Department lost no time in making,
by telegraph all necessary inquiries relative to
the safe and expedient transmission of the
Washington and New York mails ria the Mis-
sissippi river to New Orleans.
This msrning, tie Hon. George w. McLel-
Ian, chief of the Contract Office, was informed
by Special Agent Gist that it will be safe and
expedient to send the Washington and New
York mails via Memphis river to New Orleans,
and that Captain Patterson, of the Memphis
Navy Yard, and Captain Lewis, A. q. NJ,
will co operate in every possible way therein
Postmaster General Blair, however, with
characteristic sagacity, prefers to limit his
tbority 10 the transmission Of such letters as
may, by the writer's. be marked 'via Cairo,
Ill"
correspondents, therefore, who desire their
letters and newspapers to be forwarded by the
river route will take due notice and endorse
their mail matter as indicated, otherwise it
will be sent as during the past year.

A ROUGH LoDaER.-Last night, a discharged
soldier, named James White, went to the Fourth
Ward Station for lodgings. The officer in
charge was alone, and White became i'm patient,
and thought the officer (who had to keep an
eye TO his prisoners) was not moving fast
enough. and he therefore thought he would
hasten matters by cursing and striking him
The officer very properly dealt the fellow a
blow On the jaw that laid him out, and some
gentlemen hearing the row went to the officers
aid, and assisted in locking White up as a
prisoner This morning White was ordered to
pay fine, but as he had money enough. to
carry him to New York, where he belongs,
and promised to start by the first conveyance.
Justice Giberson dismissed him.

THE DRAFT TO BE ENFORCED IN NEW YORK

Facts that have come to our knowledge
assure us that not only is the draft to be fully
enforced in New York city, but it is to be en-.
tered on at once-probably on Monday The
Copperhead sheets that have fancied that their
reasonable utterances have inundated the
Government from enforcing the enrolment
law in that quarter will find they have reck-
oned without their host.

THE PREVAILING SICKNEss.-Dr Stone and
other disting uished physicians are unanimous
in their opinion that the burning of so many
bodies OF animals during the night is the cause
of vast amount OF sickness, partly owing to
the fact that some Of these bodies are putrid,
and all of them more or less diseased. In the
process of burning, the effluvia is carried along
with the smoke, and, settling over the city, the
murky poison rushes through every open win
dow, and makes the unwary sleepers victims
to its bane!ul influence. The prospect is. that
il this disease making process is continued
few nights more, there will be far greater
number of names enrolled on the sick list than
for the conscript service.
