PERFECT QUIET REIGss throughout the city and
its enviroIs At the different stations the reports
were fewer than usual, and all or nearly all of
those few were Of paltry character.
Tie military snd the citizen patrols have We'd
with each other in their efforts to keep the peace,
and the people at last feel some return Of security
and order. Every credit is due TO Gen. Rousseau
and the troops under him for the promptitude
with which they acted. There is now no danger
In any part of town, except as under ordinary
circumstances from the hands Of the assassin or
the highway robber.

Matters are perfectly quiet in st. Bernard. Lee

The AMBRosIAL, the incompatible Shelley, is

SEss of "a prominent officer in New Orleans (who)
writes to an officer on Grants staff" published in
the New York Tribune, the Picayune, last eve-
ming, very correctly remarks:
$50 far as Is known. there is not single man
in the entire regiment who ever served in the Con-
federste army, and the number of recruits, nearly
all Of whom were sent from Northern recruiting
stations, does not amount to 6ve per cent. Of the
whole regiment. In speaking OF recruits, We have
left out those who have re-enlisted since the reg
ment has been stationed in New Orleans, aud
those who, when enlisted. presented honorable
discharges from thevolunteer and regular forces Of
the United States. A large proportion of the raw
recruits sent from the North have deserted, 90
that the regiment Is composed almost entirely OF
re-enlisted men, and those who, as above stated
presented honorable discharges from other United
States regiments.
"The LIST infantry had been stationed In our city
