State house, and found it in the possession
of about dozen white MetropolitaDs, who
exposed a white flag, and who surrendered
without fighting. Capt. McGlain's company
then went to the Jackson Square Station,
last place occupied by the Kel-
logg forces. Previous to this, Sergt.
Newman, of Capt. McGlain's company, had
been to the station for the purpose OF finG-
ing on what terms the Metropolitans would
surrender. He found Lieut.. Lawler in
command. severely wounded and almost in
stupor from some narcotic, but he refused
TO surrender. although many of his men
were dispirited and desired to make
company, however, the command capitu-
lated, and the captain took possession
OF the men, guns, cannon and colors.
This finished the war, for there was no one
now to fight, all the State offices being now
in the hands of the McEnery officials, dur
ing the morning the colored superintendent
of education, Browns. Office having been
occupied, and Mr.. Lusher taking pos
session. This forenoon Acting Gov.
Penn issued half dozen procla-
nations, one directing the legal Y
elected or appointed State. parochial, and
municipal officers of the State to take imme-
date possession of their offices, another di-
recting the Metropolitans to return to their
homes, and appealing to citizens to treat all

AN EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE
on Monday, the 2lst inst, and others con-
graduating the citizens, soldiery, etc.
Mayor Wiltz, who was yesterday waited on
with demand for his resignation, also is
sued proclamation co1gratulating the peo-
pie on the restoration of the duly-elected
and rightful State authorities. At 2 o'clock
the new militia assembled at the
residence of Acting GovernorPenn to escort
him to the State house. They numbered
probably 5000 or 6,000, well armed with all
manner OF weapOns-Winchester, Henry,
and Belgian rifles, Enfield and Sprin gfieId
double and single barreled shot
guns, with three or four iron guns of their
own, and one Calling and two Ma
poleon guns, and the colors cap
tured from the Metropolitans. Besides
those in ranks, thsre were probably as
many more on the sidewalks. The march
from the governors residence to the State
house, about amile, was accomplished amid
great Enthusiasm. Many of the escort bore
trophies on their bayonets, in the shape of
caps, belts and batons, which
elected loud shouts OF mirth and approval
by the people along the streets. Arriving at
lhe State house, the McEnery State officers,
who were in the city, took possession, and
great crowds surged through the building,

he crowd was enjoying themselves by
throwing the letters and documents in the
ate governors (Kollogg's) Office over the
gallery to the people on the street below,
Who were receiving them with shouts and
earring them up, and trampling on them.
some of the more curious were picking up
,apers and documents, and reading them or
arrying them off in their pockets. A little
ater than that the crowd was requested to
cave the building to the new owners, and
hey went down stairs very good naturedly.

VISIT TO THE CUSTOM HOUSE
found many leading republicans and what
s left of the Metropolitan police. Gov.
Kellogg is slowed away in the building, and
saw Gen. LOngstreet, Col. Fairfax, and
many others of prominence moving about
very uneasily in their circumscribed limits.
They will probably remain there for some
lime. At present they would probably

Every effort was made to kill Longstreet III
he fight yesterday, but, as he was in COM
mana of the reserve, and was in the rear, he
vas pretty well out OF the way. Col. j. w.
fairfax, Longstreet's aid-de-camp, acted
'ery gallsntlv in the fight, carrying orders
,ack and forth, where the firing was ex
,eing hit. The following extract from
he Evening Bulletin will give a
.ood idea of what is thought OF L0ngstreei:
Longstreet, the once beloved and honored
whose fame was almost co-squal
With that of the Immortal Lee, but who has
'rostituted himself to be the commander of
he Hessians who maintained the most
alling usrrpation ever erected over free
eople; Longstreet, the renegade, who or
cred his policemen to fire upon our citizens
and who is largely responsible
Or the precious blood which was shed. is
o-day. like his master, Kellogg, hiding
rom the popalace.
BATTLE INCIDENTS.
Many incidents are related of the battle
1t is said that Gen. Badger, on
oing into the engagement, seeing ono OF his |
ergeants start to run, shot him dead. j. NJ.
Vest, one Of the citizens killed, was re- |
orter who was standing at corner, note |
ook in hand, taking observations of the !
ght for Northern paper. Some say the |
hot which struck him was fired by the |
red from the custom house
lindows by the Metropolitans. |
Iany death notices published in the papers
"Killed in our struggle to re-
eem the State,'' or sin defense OF the peo-
les rights" was in error yesterday in |
,ating that the first shot was from the Leag- |
ers. The firing was opened by the Metro
by command of Badger. The /
of President Grant was pub
shed in the evening papers, but did not
,em to attract much attention. People do |
OF seem to think it of much importance.
he following editorial extract from the
icayune is a very fair expression of opinion
q it:
Our telegraphic columns contain a DIS
atch setting forth the presidents procla-
IatiOn in the Louisiana case. We have no
esitation in saying that as this proclama-
ON is based on the most glaring and out
lgeous nlisinformation, our people should
Ike no further notice of it than to see that
le proper representations are made imme-
lately to the president. This is no lawless
lob, no rabble. 1t is the uprising of the
hole people, the commercial busines
nd professional elements as well as
ie laboring and industrial. The Kellogg
overnment is without even the shadow of
over or authority, and we would be base
nd pusillanimous to confess its existence
'r one instant. Let our people maintain
heir present attitude, and if our strength
nd dignity do not secure respect and
