Viewed, then, In whatever light we

the patriots Of New Orleans achieved n
glorious revolution, 10y their action Of
the 18th Instant, aud pOyed the way
for the ultimate redemption OF their

the full fruit Of II will yet be theirs, In
spite Of the efforts OF the dehauchec of
Long Branch to snatch IL from their
hands.
Since the above was written We ARE
informed by telegraph that the Me-
Emery government, on the demand Of
General Emory, has surrendered the
state house and all other public prop.
erty TO the United States forces, and
has retired from the administration of
state affairs. In pursuance Of this sur
render Lieutenant Colonel j. II.
Brooke, OF the third infantry, was or
dered by General Emory to take pos
session OF the amrs and other state
property, and TO occupy the state
house, arsenal and other state build
ings until further orders. The war be-
ing over the concentration of troops
and gun boats Mt New Orleans has
been countermanded by the war de-
partment at Washington.
Now, Mr.. kellogg's mettle will be
put TO the test. He has already earn
ed the eXecration of all honest and
fair-mnded men; his going on in his
career of usurpation cannot damage
his reputation any with such people.
If he shakes and shivers and fears to
play his infamous role any longer, MS
well he may, he will become IN object
OF loathing and contempt, even to
those who are now at his back using
him as tool to destroy the liberties of
a noble and chivalric people. If he is
II prudent man, and wants to leave an
inheritance for his family, he ought to
invest some of his ill-gotten gains in
taking heavy policies on his life.
