New Orleans dispatches of the 10Th
say that during the latter part of the pre-
ceding night the White Leaguers re-
manned intrenched within their camps,
with their pickets guarding every ap-
prOach to the central portions of the city.
Gen. Ogden, of the Leaguers, conferred
with the commander of the United States
troops, to assure himself of the non-inter-
ference of the troops in case they pro
ceeded to take the State House and other
State buildings. That gentleman assured
him that the troops were there simply to
protect United States property and that
he should do no more.
At one O'Clock ON the morning of the
10th Gen. LOngstreet, commanding the
Metropolitans, threw out his pickets as
far as Canal street. When this became
known a squad of Leagucrs advanced
rest threw down their arms and fled.
Nothing further transpircd until eight
O'Clock, when the 300 Metropolitans &C.
cupying the State House marched out,
sent word to the commander of the
White League that the State House was
voluntarily surrendered, and then pro-
cecded to Gen. Longstreet's headquar-
tiers. Gen. Ogden then took possession
and peaceably installed Acting Gov
Penn and the other Fusion officers in the
possession of the State office. He then
marched company to the jackson
Square station, and before the demand
was made the Metropolitans marched
out to the number of 400 and, surrender
ing, were at once paroled. At this time
Kellogg and his entire administration
were in the Custom House, under bayo
net protection.
These events all eliminated before
eleven O'Clock a. M. A little after that
hour Gen. Ogden issued proclamation
ordering the troops to dispense to their
homes and desiring the people to resume
their avocations, as the troubles were
ended and continuation of peace was
assured. In response to the proclama-
ton the White League and other citizens
bearing arms disbanded and returned to
their homes. Previously, about one
O'Clock p. m, they paraded on Canal
street, about $500 strong, with the guns,
flags and other trophies captured the day
before.
AT twenty minutes after one O'Clock
the Presidents proclamation came to
hand, commanding all turbulent and dis
orderly persons to disperse and submit
to the laws of the constituted authori-
ties. The reception of this intelligence
was marked in many instances by vio-
lent and bitter expressions of feeling,
extending even to declarations that the
Kellogg Government should not be re.
stored, and that if necessary the people
would fight the General Government
itself in maintaining the Fusion admin.

was tranquil.
On the evening of the 14th Acting
