fall, II became evident that movements OF some
sort we're on foot. Bodies OF men were Assem-.
bling at different points in the city, ana arms
were ffeely distributed. IL was said on the
streets that one of the large political clubs had
offered Governor McEnery 4, 600 men early I'M
the afternoon, and increased numbers Of bodies
appearing, seemed 70 justify this assertion. A

was reported i'm the neighborhood OF the sugar
shed. About $50 a squad OF militia moved
down Royal street, and emerging into the plaza
in front Of the st. Louis cathedral,

40 PURTHER TROUBLE AppREHESprp.
NEW ORLEANS, March 6.-The city is per-
iectly quiet this morning. No trouble il appre-
nehded to-day. Ii Is now stated that Governor
McEnery did not authorize the movement bv
the militia LAST night. The Metropolitan are
IN quiet possession, with United States troops
IN easy supporting distance. The militia have
all dispersed. The citizens generally seem 10
regard the attack last night as premature. The
object Of the fusi0nists in making il does NOT
clearly appear. but lie supposed to have been
with view Of showing that the people would .
not quietly submit to the Kellogg government.
