End Of the War.
New ORLEANS, September l5.-GGn.
Fred. Ogden has just made II speech
from the gallery in front of his head
quarters, stating the war was over, and
advising people to go quietly to their
homes and resume their usual vocations.
Gov. Penn this morning appointed
Thos. Boland, the well known detective,
Chief of Police. Mr. Boland is now or
caniZing All extra force. The Picdy-
me contains the following, as might be
expected after the victories of Yesterday:
Last of the kellogg StrOngholds
Taken.
"The decisive victories of Yesterday and
the consequent decentralization Of the heI-
lorg force, made the finish this morning
a very brief and unexpected affair.
About $50 o'clock the State House was
occupied by the citizens forces, and by .
o'clock the third precinct station and the
Kellogg armory, the last of the Radical
government, was, after sharp little as
Sault, captured and appropriated: SO
ends the Kellogg regime. Big inflated,
lnsolent and over-braring, 1t collapsed
at one touch of honest indignation and
gallant onslaught. Its boosted arma-
ment dissolved before the furious rush
of our citizens. Its Sneering, thlevlng,
uns, rupulous chieftains hid like
moles, and mercenaries fled like a
stampeded cattle. A dozen gallant
lives, worth more than all swearing car
pet baggerS and rutfian soldiers, than
ever squatted on Il States carcass, have
been sacrificed on the altar of liberty.
The blood of gentlemen and patriots has
dyed the stones of our thoroughtareS.
The dynasty has passed into u black and
| bitter memory, and Louisiana through
| out lis borders to-day is free.
"Gov. Penn's residence, ,236 St. Charles
street, was filed all the morning with
citizens, congratulating him on the sit
uation. MeSsrs. Ellis and Beard and
Others were present when the news OF
the surrender of the police reached there
and there was universal delight and
cheers. Mayor Welt called at the Gov,
ernors residence this morning at IL
o'clock. Our Metropolitans were caught
attired in L. 5. uniforms and arrested, but
they confessed they were Metropolitans
and threw off their coats and were car,
