ing.-AtGo'clock this evening McEnery
formally surrendered the State House
and all other State buildings to General

him written address saying he did so
as the lawful and acting Governor of
the State. in response to formal de-
mand of Gen. Emory to make such sur
render, or accept as an alternative the
levying of war upon the government of
the State by the military forces of the
United States. In transferring to Gen.
Brooke the guardianship of the rights
and liberties of the people of Louisiana
McEnery expressed the hope and belief
that he would give protection to all
classes of citizens who had been ruled
and ruined by the corrupt usurpation;
in confusion saying: Il know, as
soldier, you obey the orders of the Gov
eminent of the United States, but hope
you will temper military control with
moderation in all things, and exhibit
that integrity of purpose characteristic
of officers of the army" Gen. Brooke
Penn a statement of all the records

The Opposition steamship Line ON the Pa
ciHc.
SAN Francisco, September pa New
York special says of the reported new
steamship line to be started in OPP
position to the Pacific Mail Company:
Last Saturday, Capt. George H.
Bradbury, who was President of the
Pacific Mail Company, sailed for
Europe. He sailed under an assumed
name. Those understood to be posted
on the riva! enterprises say Captain
Bradbury is to be President of the new
company, and that he has gone to Eng
land for the purpose of leasing or pur-
chasing six or seven steamers. After
completing his negotiations the vessels
selected will sail almost Immediately
from England, some going to China and
Japan for cargoes, and others coming
here, whence they will go to the Pacific
coast. 1t is said the contracts have
been signed and that the vessels will be
running within thirty days. One of
the objects of Jay Gould's trip to San
Francisco is to obtain wharf property
for the new company. Russell Sage,
President of the Pacific Mail Company,
declares that the question of starting
rival line on the Pacific is ridiculous,
for it could not compete with the regu-
lar line with its million subsidy and it's
great facilities for business. He thinks
the whole story is attributable to bears
Expected Attack on the Kellogg Government.
CHICAGO, September %. A Times New
Orleans special dispatch says the White
LeaSuers have received notice to be
ready to spring to arms ut an hours no.
tice, and an attack on the Kellogg Gov
eminent is expected to-day. This is to
I've done with the purpose of compelling
the Federal authorities to declare mar
tial law and establish a Military Govern
mcnt, and not with the design Of OBJ
tanning control of the State officers.
The failure of the attempt at a compro-
mise with the Kellogg Government in
regard to the management of the cleo
ton in November, is said to be the rca-
son for the new outbreak. The White
Leaguers do not expect to achieve sue
cess, only SO far as to compel the estab-
lishment of Military Government. If
this shall be effected, the purpose of
the rebellion will be successful. Nc
Emery and Penn will tomorrow issue
circular, requiring an inspection of all
State troops, and the return of State
arms in their hands, and earnestly urg-
ing all citizens to carry out the terms of
surrender in the same spirit. Should
the State officers make search, conflicts
and bloodshed would certainly occur;
Ult IL Vie Oultct otutcS OllCcIS tiTe AS
signed to the duty there would be proba-
bly, no resistance.
