held this morning, and after consulta-
ton, the following telegram to Gen
Emory was sent by the President,
through Adjt. General Townsend:
WAR DEPT. ADJT. GEN's OFFICE,
Washington, Sept. Is, 1874. {
Gen. ". II: Emory, Ncs0 Orleans. La:
A am directed by the President to
say that your acts to this date so far as
they have been reported and received
here officially are approved, except SO
far as they name Col. Brooks to COM
mand the city of New Orleans. 1t
would have been better to have nam
ed him as commander of the United
States forces now in that city. The
State government existing at the time
of the beginning of the present lnsur-
rectionary movement, must be recog-
nized as the lawful State government
until some other government can be
legally supplied. Upon the surrender
of the insurgents, you will inform Gov.
Kellogg of the fact and give him the
necessary support to re-establish the
authority of the State government. Ii,
at the end of the five days given in the
proclamation, of the 18th inst, there
authority of the State, you will sum-
mon q surrender of the insurgents. Ii
the surrender is not quietly submitted
to it must be enforced at all hazards.
This being an instruction against the
State government of Louisiana, to aid
in the suppression Of which the United
States Government has been called
upon in the forms required by the
Constitution and laws of Congress
hereunder, it is not in the province
of the United States authorities to
make terms with parties engaged Ill
such instruction.
Signed e. D. TOWNSEND,
Adiutant General.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 10-Night.-
There are no new developments this
morning. Gen. Brooke occupies the
Executive office. The Mayor will
have consultation with him relative
to reestablishing municipal courts and
other matters pertaining to the Ponce
Department, preservation of order &c.
A consultation IS now going on at
the Custom House between Gov. Nc
Emery and his partisans, and Gov.
Kellogg and others, looking TO a
compromise, but legal distractions
present themselves at almost every
step. Military occupation, until Con-
gross disposes Of the question would
doubtless be cheerfully acquiesced in
by both parties.
A dispatch to Gov. McEnery, from
Bayau Sara, reports that the town was
attacked last night by negroes. The
attack was repuised. Gen. Emory has
ordered TFGODS TO that point.
