Special to the Louisville Courier-JcurnEl
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 23.-Gen. Emory,
Gen. Pennypacker, Gov. kellogg and Gen.
John r. Brooke had three hours confer
ence to-day. Gen. Brooke is the officer
who received the State arms from McEnery
and Penn; and as it is said that number
of arms are missing, it is probable that the
council was held TO adopt measures for their
recovery. Notice win be given by the
proper authorities to return them, failing IN
which the United States military will be
eRployed to recover the arms. 1t is known
that the council regard the situation of the
city as dangerous that the stations of the
troOps were ordered to be made in the
strongest positions, and that no force is TO
leave the city, and that one battery was or.
dered TO the city from the barracks forth
with.
kellogg TO Williams.
Gov. kellogg to-day telegraphed to At
torney General Williams, protesting agairst
the removal of any troops from this State,
and declaring that the insurrectionary
spirit here was now rife and better ready
for decisive action than at any previous
time.
The White Leagues.
The White League meeting tonight was
the largest ever held in the city. One of
their leaders, a reliable prominent citizen
and no alarmist, who opposed the fight, but
was in 1t, and afterward worked for com
promise, told your correspondent tonight
that the city League had nearly nine thou
sand we'll armed and well-drilled men, who
Were only waiting the order to make a
fight. Their time was not fixed, but wonld
be very soon, as they were desperate and
determined upon getting rid of kellogg, no
matter what might be the, consequences.
Arrests for State treason or search for State
arms, owing to mistakes liable to he made
in the latter effort, might precipitate il; but
when the time came, the United States
soldiers would be taken.
FeIiciana Parish.
Marshal Packard received a telegram to-
night from Clinton, La, dated tonight,
stating that in order to preserve the peace
in this parish, it is necessary that troops be
sent there forthwith. Clinton is the seat
OF Justice of Feliciana parish, which has
4, 16I whites and over 1900 black pOpula-
ton. The dispatch emanated from the
civil Republican officials, and Packard Te-
piled, directing them to send the facts
Whereon the request was based.
MeEnery's Presence Unexpected.
Gov. Penn assured your correspondent
that he only was responsible for the armed
movement. His friends had not expected
McEnery's presence here, and it had been
supposed that the latter would have re-
manned absent.
Another Collision Feared.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The intelli-
gence from New Orleans to the effect that
the carpet-baggers were trying to provoke
the people to an outbreak by the arrest Of
Penn. McEnery and Others with whom they
have just held conferences, and also by
domiciliary searches for arms, is not uneX-
pected, as this policy was urged here few
days ago by West, Beckwith and other
Louisiana caTpet-baggers. Il was under
stood that Grant did not desire these things
to be done, and thought that the carpet
baggers ought to be cohtent with rObbing
the people instead of pushing them to the
wall. II is not deemed likely that he will
now interfere, and fear is expressed of an
other collision if the carpet-baggers persist
in their present purposes.
