late as the evening of the ls.h uit. They contain
nothing Of great interest In the matter Of the war.
The other day we published extracts from the
Times which showed that there had been trouble at
Fort Jackson. In these later papers we find
nothing allud;ng to that affair, except the follow
ing sentence in the Picayane, under the head o.
s.1hc City during the Week. ss1'he city, i
says, sthas maintained its usual euietude for the
past days, undisturbed by any great Internal
or external commotions. The conmotens aud
struggles elsewhere have caused much talk and
exchange OF opinions, pur evesy.s.a-s 4. auie,
here" This no doubt, was written after notice
from the Provost Marshal.
The same paper announces the death Of colonel
Maunsel White, on the 18th utimo. He was In
h $ cighty-<econd year, and we'll known to the ha
bitues Of the city.
The following is extracted from the True Della,
of the 18th ult.:
"PR0vosT COrRT-A. a. .atocha, Jadge.-A num-
ber of nesloes were charged with having had Sc
ditious religious meeting, praying for the return OF
their masters, for Bcauregatd and JEFF. Davis, say
Ing that their sxpectati- Of Abe Lincoln had not
been realized
This is significant enough. The negroes, almosl
every one knows, generally hatch their "sedition''
; at rel gious meetings.
The Ptccysne has the following item of news
from the Yankee army on the coast of Texas:
We learn from the Era, of this morning, that
passengers on the steamer Clinton, which arrived
yesterday from Passo Cavalio, Matagorda Bay, re-
port that Gen. Washburn, with considerable
force, was moving for lndianola and Iavaca He
expected to move from there 10 San Antonio aud
to make that place the chief point Of concentration
against the forces Of Gen. Magfader.
There is nothing of special interest In the busl.
nsrs reports of the papers. The following Is from
/. the Picay,sne of the 18th ult.:
j With very fine weather 10 day, there was appa-
renily considerable activity; tsat II, for the low
stocks and supplies of chief staples, sugar and
moiasses. What supplies do come to market do
not liquidate the mass of debts due to our factors
and merchants to the amount or extent Of 2K per
cent, and this liquidation Is c0n6ned TO special
cases and instances. II is doubtful II our mer-
chants will receive In the aggregate one per cent
Of the amount due from the country durtug the
season 1t follows that, If we have, or will have,
a money or paper market, il will be on very lin
ited-yen, an infi.litesmai Scale.
| The Mobile Tribune adds the following, which
1t deems worthy Of reliance:
/; gentleman of official position, who has arrived
here states that the steamer Sally Robinson, with
eight hundred troops, yankees and negroes,) who
were sent from New Orleans to assist at qnellins
the insltrrectOn at Foff Jackson, arriving there
j was ired into from the Fort and sunk One-half
of all on board went down with her. This news,
! we also learn, was cOyrObOratcd by arrivals at
Vaudeville subsequently TO the time our informant
left that place.
All this looks probable but the reader might la
/ vain hunt over the New Orleans papers for any
thing confrmingit The papers, however, are just
as much subjugated as the negroes OF the city
They have learned to keep dark.
