New York, Aug. 23.--The steamer Crom-
well, from New Orleans Aug. 18th, arrived to-
day. The Mobile Tribune copies approvingly
an article from the Charleston Mercury,
which says that "since the federal successes
Beauregard had better lay aside his engineer
ing and artillery drilling, which are now
played out, and take to the bayonet;" and
advises the authorities to reinforce Morris
Island or else abandon Charleston to the
flames.
Gen. Pemberton has issued an order calling
upon his troops to assemble within thirty days
at Demopolis, Ala He compliments them on
their valor at Vicksburg.
Francis Scott was executed at New Orleans
on the 10Th, for the murder of Major Bullen
Of the 2Sth Maine regiment, on the 9th of
July. The great event in this department
was the opening on the 18th inst. of the New
Orleans, Opelousas, and Great Western rail-
road, .through to Brashear City.
At a government sale, 1913 bales of cotton
brought from 90 34 to 60 lac. pound.
The rebels had sent flag of truce into
Brashear City, to get permission for Mrs
Gardner, wife Of General Gardner, late COM
mander at Port Hudson, to go to New Or
leans, to be with her husband. Everything
was quiet at that place. A man named A. II !.
Church has been killed at Brashear by B. f.
Shattuck, agent of the government. A polit-
ical dispute was the cause. Shattuck has been
arrested

siderable indignation was expressed because
the city authorities, endeavoring to change all
this, did not listen to the petitioners. The
records of our police court for Saturday last
show that this departments doing what it can.
1t only needs to be seconded by healthy pub
lie sentiment, such as you now invoke, to put
a summary end to these outrages. OR.
In the remarks to which our correspondent
refers we did not intend to accuse the police
department OF the city. Such an accusation
would have been unjust. Our aim was to
notice the unusual frequency of such outrages
of late, hoping to contribute something to pre-
vent them. We agree with him that the petit
ton to which he refers was improper. 1t is
likely, however, that most of those who
signed it did so entirely misunderstanding the
case, either mised by false representations,
or easily persuaded, without inquiry, by the
influence OF names at the head of the petition.
There was also another development of start
ling precocious depravity, not long since, and
the whole affair was dismissed from considera-
ton more easily, perhaps, than was whole
some to those concerned in it.
But, what may have been done amiss or
unwisely, should not be allowed to lessen our
sense of the importance of putting stop to
such outrages on the streets as those to which
we have reiu,red. The scoundrels who per-
petrate them should be punished as they de-
serve, and made to understand that they can
not continue such conduct with impunty. In
one of the cases reported to us, the fellow
guilty of the annoyance and insult wore the
respectable uniform of Highland Cadet.
We do not believe there are many in that
school like him; but two or three such de-
PRAYED youths are two or three too many to
be tolerated where their influence may cor
rupt others. But, in most of the cases
brought to our attention, the offenders are
vulgar street rowdies, or debased villains, who
seem entirely destitute of consciousness of
what belongs to honorable manhood We
trust all these offenders against decency will
soon be made to mend their manners.

"Jack and Jill went up the hill

The secession infant, now two years old

as if tumble were inevitable. His pail of

kick to accelerate his downward speed, and
now we hear that his crown is receiving a
thorough cracking at Charleston. This

LATEST FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
Important and Successful Expedition.

MEJPHIs, Aug. 20-About two weeks
since, Major-Gen. Hurlbut ascertained that
there was a large amount of railroad stock at
Grenada, which the rebels were endeavoring
to get Oft south by making temporary repairs
on the railroad. With his usual energy and
promptness, General Hurlbut arranged an
expedition to destroy this stock, first send
ing request to Gen Grant to make a diver
sion from the south to aid the enterprise.
The expedition started from La Grange,
Tenn, on the 18th, under command of Lieut..
Col Phillips, of the 18th Illinois regiment of
mounted infantry, and reached Grenada on
the 18th, driving Gen. Simmer, with 20O0
men and three pieces of artillery, from tho
place They then destroyed itty-seven loco
motives, upwards of four hundred cars, the
depot buildings, and machine and blacksmith
shops, and large amount of ordnance and
commissary stores. They captured about
fifty railroad men and Il number of other pris-
oners. After Col. Phillips had thoroughly
accomplished his work, Col. Winslow, from
Gen. Grants army, arrived with force from
below. The expedition returned to La Grange
to day.

gallant command for enduring the hardships

Mr.. EDIToR:-An article in your Satur-
days paper comments with Just severity upon
series of disgraceful outrages recently COM
mitted upon innocent and unprotected women
in our streets. Every decent man in the COM
munity will thank you for thus calling public
attention to these shameful and dastardlv
acts, and none more, than the members of
that department to whom our citizens are ac-
customed to look for protection, and who are
willing and anxious, TO the extent of their
power, to render it. Your article seems to
imply, perhaps without intending it, that the
city government are doing nothing to prevent
or punish these outrages. You ask
care such things to be allowed? Cannot
the city government do something to change
all this? Cannot every man do something to
put it down? If public opinion is aroused
againstit, it will vanish away, and women can
once more walk in our streets without the ner-
vous feeling that at any moment they are LA
pie to be attacked and insulted by some brute,
"ho' wearing the human form, is no more Of
a man for that"
Ill you excuse me, Mr.. Editor, if | re-
mind you and those who make this nublic
opinion, that, when some three months aqo
the police of the city terreled out one of The
grossest and most abominable of these jnfa-
nous acts, and brought the offender to the bar
