FROM NEW ORLEANS.
A letter from New Orleans saws

Again there is everywhere observable
that movement among the troops sta
toned at points about here which ALWAYS
infallibly presages important coming
events. Regiments march and coun ter
march through the streets, and long
trains Of supply wagons rumble heavily
about, reminding one of the thunder
which preccdes the tempest.
Last, but not least, General Canbv
has lately gone out on tour of inspec-
ton, and will not return to the CITY till
the 18th.
What the purport Of all this is, NAV
be readily gathered by any one who will
consider the map of this country and
the necessities of the military situation.
There is a striking similarity between
Pthc courses of the campaign evidently
marked out for the armies of the East
and West, which cannot fail to Impress
one. General Sherman moved out from
Chattanooga, and struck boldly for the
sea, planting there new water-base for
future movements. Let Mobile, in the
scheme Of operations in the West, stand
for Savannah as new base; and let the
reader not fail to note the parallelism of
the two campaigns as starting from the
bases, Mobile and Savannah, and directed
on call intermediate points," as steam
boat men have it, till they meet, sue
cessively, the armies of Grant in the
East and Thomas in the West. Such is
the grand but simple outline of the war
for the Union, as it will open out in the
spring, or is, rather, already begun, at
least, if prophets could have the shaping
of it. How often they do not.
Any persons who have it in their minds
to flee to this place to escape from the
draft in the North would do we'll to re-
consider the matter. 1t would be but to
leap out Of the frying pan into the fire.
So numecously had the draft~skulkers
congregated here from other points, that
General Hurlbut determined to make
descent upon them. The order requiring
all persons to report for enrolment is
rigidly. being enforced; to such an ex-
tent, indeed, that Captain Hibbard, in
charge of enrolment, finds it necessary
to keep his large clerical force at work
early and late. 1t is an opinion which is
very largely gaining ground among the
citizens that the order was made in first !
rate earnest, and will be thoroughly exc
cuted, and the business in substitutes
has become brisk accordingly. / have
known persons who came here for di~
vsrs and sundry reasons, prominent
among which was consideration for |
their health, who suddenly discovered |
that it was decidedly more healthy at
home.
THE COMING CAMPAIGN IN TENNESSEE.
a letter from Nashville gives the fol-
lowing about the expected movements of
troops in Tennessee:
Although the main army operations
are at perfect stand still for the pre-.
sent, think that, the roads and weather
permitting, offensive movements against
the enemy will soon be inaugurated.-|
What little force Dick Taylor may have
at his command will prove very slight
barrier to the progress of events, and
Selma, Montgomery, Mobile, and all i'm
portant points in the Southwestern fact,
the whole Southwest will, before great
while, be under Union control. With
the present forces under Generals Thomas
and Candy, and in the absence of extra
ordinary and cgfesious laundering, such
q contamination can hardly be long de-
ferrcd. The Trans-Mississippi rebel op-
position will be of very small moment
when once the main insurgent armies
are crushed or annihilated, and the terri
tory they now hold is occupied by the
Union armies.
Newly~formed regiments are finding
their way to this department. Once in
awhile they are to be seen streaming
through Nashville, on their way further
South. The new recruits are gene

others being given to a great deal Of

vocation. Isaw a new regiment in Nash
