1.-THE trouble in New OrIeans-Consderable uneasi
is expressed at army headquarters at the condition
of affairs in New Orleans Dispatches have been re
ceved from Gen. Rousseau in relation to the distur
Dances which occurred yesterday, but they have no
been promulgated. A singular allegation is made il
regard to the 1st United States infantry stationed
there to preserve the peace. The comprising the
regiment were nearly all recruited in New Orleans anc
letter from prominent officer, on duty there to
member Of Gen. Grants staff, says about reefourhs
of the enlisted men have served in the Confederate
army, and that unless other troops at sent to
relieve them, no protection will be afforded to loyal
men i'll riot should occur These troops the let
ter says will take advantage of the uniform they wear
and shoot down loyal peaceabe negroes under pretence
that the latter nciting riot while every protection
will be shown the rebel element who are the real ag
gressors. In view OF this condition of affairs there is
good authority for believing that this regiment will be
at ordered TO the frontier, and another one not
recruited South sent to take its place. Secretary Scho
