From a good friend We have Isc5ived New
Orleans papers Of the 24.h.
Gold or hs23i sold as high as 1875. Strictly
middline cstton was quoted st s. cents.
AdViees from Brazos Santiago were up 10 the
18Th. They stase t5st several houses and G no
tel have been erected, that a railroad ia binding
to the Rio Grsnde, and that there is avery sp-
peRranee that BrAzos viii lake the whole cOm-
merca Of Mstsmoros and Northern Mexico.
Several vessels had been wrecked on the coast,
two of them rom New Orleans. Thirtsen Yau-
kees-of the lstFexss cavalry had des5rted aud
gone TO Mexico. A letter writer furnishes the
following paragraph:
4 new rebel pri7atear is said to be fitting out
N Kipgston, Jamaica, and another in HOndu-
rag. Tbey are to TssslTe their aTmamenis and
crews at sea. They are intended 70 rob the Cal
ifornis steamers on their return trips. The
Games of the persons concerned in them are
known.
The papers were full of Northern dispatches
of affairs in Virginia. They are as lats as he

the Yankees in Nav Orleans, IS will be seen by
the following extract from an editorial il he

Drowning men catch ct strsRs. and It is nos
strange that the saeassionists of New Orleans
should eagerly listen TO every suggestion csleu-
lated 20 kiadle their fast-dying hopes. Having,
for some weeks, iBdGlged in the most extTsva-
CANT and u~nbounded expectations Of rebel suc-
cess having told us that Gen. Banks had sur
rendered bis whole army to shs " C0nfedarstes;''
that bis guDb0ats had al been captured or de-
sToyed, and that Dick Taylor would be in pos
session Of this city in less than two weeks /;
having, furthermore, selected their victims for
rabsl vengeance, and made on a programme for
g jubilee of massacre, i is not to b. expected
that all these delightful hOpas will be lightly
cast aside or abandoned at ones. Tbs lime fixed
for TsylOT's arrival has passed, and 1t has been
f0gpd that Gen. Banks has neither surrendered
nor lost his boats, and, what is more, that the
rebels were so crippled at Pleasant Hil IS to. be
In no condition 10 give him battle.
The nsmbers of tbs convention, therefore,
who voted fer emancipation, may indulge a res-
sonBble hope of retaining their heads on their
shoulders for some time TO come, UOtWithstsnd-
ing the French Courier called for public iGdig

De defeated Bat it seems he dared move, did
move, and has not been defssted. This brings
"a to the absurd reports going sbous 70 the eff

csived At the Piegguns Office CT some ether Sc

that some time about the I4ah, Grsut WAS tslaL

terrible slaughter, of course that ~Bsaarsgsrd
had tarashed Butler and that ten g~unboats had
been captured in the James river.
There ara other Indications Of uneasiuess in
the city. A number of Yankee refugees had
held a meeting at the Commercial h5tol. Judge
bfppard was chairmsu and Il f. Fitzpatrick
secretary. A Dir. Belden stated the purpose Of
The meeting, and said
IL waa necessary Tor tho refugees to form
some organisation Of = military character, for
mutual protection; that they could expect no
pity tom tho rehals, Ia case they wore captured

they would be fathleesly murdered without trial
