WYE LA BaGATELLE. b.
from the New Orleans Picayune.
Armed organizations of ex rebel soldiers
are drilling nightly on Canal street It is re,
ported that Jeff. Davis has escaped f!ompr!son
]. and is in command. No Union mae dare
show himself on the streets after sunset. a
violent rebel threatened to pull down the Gus
tom house. and, but for the timely arrival OF
the 18th corps, would have executed his threat:
Mayor Monroe hung himself acd then killed
his family, 10 order, as he afterwards stated,
to avoid the Just Indignation OF the Union cit
liens. The commanding general takes his;
meals regularly, In spite Of rebel threats, 1t
is stated, on good authority, that the Mlss!a
sppi river is undermined. Several rcbe cruis
ers came up the river yesterday, To see wht:-
Their the reported surrender Of The Cnufcdcrate
authorities was correct. Being od that it
was, they cursed the United States Govern
ment and, after taking coal and provisions
went down to Barataria Unfortunately the
war vessels in pors were unable to get up steany
in time to overhaul them People here DO not
hesitate to speak openly in favor Ct President

Unfortunately the above appeared tco late
& to be be of any service to the Radicals, at, the
North, at the late elections but they got
along very we'll without it! But the satire OF
the Picayune. is just as pointed and well de-
served now, as it would have been a mopth Or
two ago. "
It is of stories, rot very dissimilar TO those
strung together above that the staple OF MANY
of the Radical papers at the North, is conpos-
ed; and the Picayunc has hardly exaggerated
in its takeof of Radical sensational sreports'sa
from the South.5is: -@re 9fy, sgsss -.
