WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-Dispatches re-
ceived from Gen. Emery, through the War
Department. from New Orleans, are brief
and only confirm the dispatches TO the
President.
The President in conversation to-day ex-
pressed his surprise at the conduct of the
opponents of the kellogg government in re-
sorting to arms TO maintain their political
position, or in other words, inaugurating
civil war. He had 20 many citizens OF
Louisiana expressed a kindly disposition
toward the people and hoped for better
things, but il scented tlet had misiudged,
if they thought aresOrt to violence ON their
part would be passed by the Gov
ernment. In this connection, he
incidentally remarked that prompt
measures would suppress further disturb
anceS, and similar eonfss would have
saved the country from the late rebellion.
After signing the proclamation, the Presi-
dent himself wrote two military orders adj
dressed to the commander at New Orleans,
saying in effect, that they must protect life
and preserve the peace to the best of their
ability. All orders to he issued by them
must be previously submitted to the proper
military authorities for approval. There
were no regular plans Of military move
ments, but orders will be issued 10 meet
the emergency. Troops will be sent to
New Orleans in such numbers as may be
required. IS tile President Is determined to
save life and preserve the peace.

was that they must restore the State to
the charge of its elected officers, save it from
ruin and protect its citizens without regard

stirring Proclamation from Mayor
WiItz.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 10, p. M.-The
following proclamation has just been
issued:
MayOrdliy, Of Nag Orleans. Sept. Is,
lS74-Citizens OF New Orleans:-It be-
comes my duty to congratulate you upon
the restoration Of the duly elected and
fichtfll State authorities. After enduring
for nearly two yearsthe control Ofthe usurp-
ers, their acts Of tyranny have At length
called for resistance. This was inStanta-
neOus, universal and entirely successful,
not single usurping official being now in
the exercise of his functions within the
limits of this city. The employment of
force became. necessity. We deplore the
resulting loss of life, while We honor |
the memory Of the noble men who |
fell i'm defence of the rights dear to all who |
deserve to be free. Upon this signal and |
most honorable recovery Of your political |
and civil rights, let me advise extreme |
Resume your ayOcatiOns rs /
soon as dismissed from the organized |
ranks; use the utmost fOrbearance towards |
those who hold the that State received no de- |
triment, by convincing the country by our |
orderly conduct that we are only endeayor-
ing to secure our just rights without in |
fringing on the rights or safety Of others.
A police force was organizing, though so /
general was the careful adherence OF the |
public to order and security that it
seemed almost needless. The object otthe |
was attained.
Each citizen must now act as cOnserva-
tor of the peace, and take care that politi-
cal opinions adverse to yours interfere with
no peaceable aSsemblage of your fellow
citizens of any race or color. Use all your
influence to preserve the peace and main
tain the supremacy Of the law. Prove to |
the world that YOU can be as f0rbearing to
hose who have usurped and abused au-
thority a you were patient and long suffer
ing un1er their tyranny. Seek no revenge
