From New Orleans-CeIebra
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by
NegrOes-AlE fairs mt Nntcu,ez


CAIRO, Feb. New Orleans dates of the
25th show no change in the market.
In accordance with Gov. Hahn's procla-
nation, January 24th was observed through
out the State as day Of festivity, in honor
OF the emancipation acts in Missouri and
Tennessee. Some forty thousand persons
outside the city celebrated the day. The
news of the capture of Fort Fisher was re-
ceived at New Orleans on the previous
evening, and gave increased spirit to the en-
joyment of the occasion. Courts adjourn
ed, the streets were thronged with black
and white people, public and private build
ings and the shipping were decorated with
national flags, the military, the schools, and
numerous societies of colored people, were
IN the procession. Speeches were made by
Gov. Hahn, several officers of the General
and State Governments, and colored ora
tors. A salute of one hundred guns was
fired, and the city was brilliantly illumin-
ated at night.
A Natchez letter Of Jan. 23d says General
Davidson, since assuming command of that
district, has extended the lines on roads
leading out OF the city SO as to protect sew
eral plantations, and all the troops are now
encamped outside the city. The office of
Mayor has been abolished, and the Provost
Marshal is exercising the functions of that
Office. All the contrabands of Natchez and
Vidalia are ordered to work on the farms
back of the latter place, and are furnished
with ratiOns under the supervision of Col.
Mitchell, Superintendent of Freedmen. Col.
Farrar commands the post at Natchez.-
Two wagon loads of supplies driven beyond
the lines flom Vidalia, under proper pass
ports, were captured by guerrillas. The
owners lost everything, but were paroled
not to do anything to prejudice the interest
of jeff Davis.

THE CITY.

ABOLITION SALUTE.-The firing OF one
hundred guns, in accordance with the joint
resolution passed by the General Assembly
yesterday, 'in honor" Of the adoption by
Congress Of the joint resolution recon-
mending to the States an amendment to the
National Constitution forever abolishing
slavery in the United States, took place be-
tween five and six o'clock last evening, OH
the north side of Capitol Square. Beside
the waste of powder, there was no great
manifestation Of public rejoicing. Every
one felt that though our Solons in the Leg
islature had ordered the firing, the end was
not yet. The issuing of proclamations, the
passage of resolutions by Congress or State
Legislatures, and the firing of guns at or
against slavery do not put an end to this
bloody and murderous war. !.

In view Of the increased prospective val

ny having struck oil within few days., the
directors thought an increase to twelve dol
lars per share but just but upon further
consideration of the subject by the Board,
they have decided to continue the sale of
stock at ten dollars per share, which will
probably be for few days only, as their
signs are developed. Subscribers that have
paid twelve dollars per share for stock can
have two dollars per share refunded by

Operations Against wilmington.

New YORK, Feb. 2.-The Herald's Smith
vile, N. c., correspondent of the oath ult.,
says BY the blowing up of Fort Caswe1
the rebels completely destroyed the river
face of that strong work. All the guns in
itwere spiked and their carriages destroyed.
At Smithville, a small place on the west
side of Cape Fear river and ten miles be-
low Fort Fisher, the Union forces, on oc-
cupying it, secured large supplies of COM
missary stores, tobacco, and other valuable
property. The rebels had planted torpe-
does in and around nearly all the forts.

GROUND HOG DAY.-We were reminded
yesterday, that, being the I'd of February,
1t was, according to immemorial western
tradition, "Ground Hog Day." or the day
when the aforesaid ground hog comes out
of his hole to see what the signs ofthe
times are; and If he sees his own shadow, he
retires to his hole again, there to remain
for the full term OF six weeks more before
he ventures out the second time. He may,
if he came out at the right time yesterday,
have discovered his shadow, but rather
dimly even then. We apprehend that his
hogship must have been in something of a
quandary yesterday, whether to remain out
or return to his hole for the lofg term of
six weeks.

Report of the Naval Committee.

New YORK, Feb. 2.-The Army and Navy
Journal contains report of the Naval COM
mittee to report on rifle cannon. They find
that of 703 Parrot guns of all calibres, 81
have burst or been otherwise injured by
explosion. They ascribe these accidents to
various causes, such as use of compressed
powder or unsuitable projectiles, neg
lecting to lubricate the projectiles,
as required by the ordnance instructions,
and keeping guns too long loaded. The
premature explosion of shells is, however,
the main cause. They recommend expert
ments to place the matter beyond dispute,
and decide the question of retaining the
Parrott gun in use.
The steamer Rebecca Clyde, from Savan-
nah, arrived with full cargo of cotton

President Lincoln serenaded.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The serenading
party last night having played several airs
before the White House, the President ap-
peared and was greeted with loud cheers.
The President said he supposed the passage
through Congress of the Constitutional
amendment for the abolishment of slavery
throughout the United States, was the occa-
sion to which he was indebted for the hon
or OF this call. [Applause.l The occasion
was one OF cOngratulation to the country
and to the whole world, but there is a task
yet before the United States-to 20 forward
and consummate, by the votes of the States,
that which Congress sonobly began yester-
day. Applause, and cries, "they will do
it," &c.l He had the honor to inform those
present that Illinois, had already to-day
done the work. [Applause.] Maryland was
proud that Illinois was little ahead. He
thought this measure was very fitting ad-
Junct to the winding up of the great diff
Guilty. [Applause.l He wished the reunion
of all the States perfected and so effected as
to remove all disturbance in the future, and
TO attain this end it was necessary that the
original disturbing cause should, if posi-
BILE, be rooted out. He thought all would
bear him witness that he had never shrunk
from doing all he could to eradicate slavery
by issuing an emancipation proclamation,
butthat proclamation falls far short of what
the amendment will be when fully consum-
mated. Aquestion might be raised wheth-
er. the proclamation was legally valid. 1t
might be added that it only aided those who
came into our lines, and that it was inoper-
ative as to those who did not give them
selves up, or that it would have no effect
npon the children of the slaves born here
after. In fact, it would be urged that it did
not meet the evil, but this amendment is a
kings cure for all the evils. [Applause.] 1t
winds the whole thing up. He would re-
peat, that it was fitting, able adjunct to
the contamination of the great game we
are playing. lie could not but congratu-
late all present, himself the country and
the whole world, upon this great moral vic

1t appears that Hay Depot having been

Mr.. Miller had tarred his fence to prevent
the teamsters leaning against, or 9TH
erwise interfering with it. From some
cause, to us unknown, the fence caught fire
on Wednesday evening, and burned so free
ly as to cause quite an illumination in the
neighborhood. The alarm was given, and
the fire engines turned out. BY tearing
away the fence, the fire was checked, and
the buildings adjacent saved.
