NEW ORLEANS Sept 2s.-Gen. Emory and staff
inspected the troops at Jackson Barracks, three
mules from New Orleans, this morning. The General
and staff were accompanied by Rear Admiral Null
lany and large number of naval and army officers,
the excursion to the barracks the revenue cutter
John A. Dix being made the occasion of a pleasant
reunion of the two branches of the service Salutes
were fired from the revenue cutter, from The bar
racks and from the United States steamer Worces-
ter, to which Admiral MullaDy last night
transferred his flag commander of
the North Atlantic Station. After the
INSPECTION the officers took an excursion down the
river returning before sunset. The military force
now in Louisiana consists of the Sd Regiment of In
fantry three companies of the 18th, four companies
of the 10th, seven companies of the 22d, one com
pany of the 3D. and two companies of the LIST Artil-
lery Major-Gen. NJ. II. Emory is in command OF
the Department, and Gen. Galusha Pennypacker
has the immediate command of the troops In

daiqua. Commander r. B. Lowry Wachusett,
Commander b. Il. Taylor; Shawmut, Commander
H. L. Howison. and the Kansas, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Alfred Hopkins and two monitors tempo
ranly differed and manned. Rear Admiral Mullany
commands the squadron. While the presence of
these vessels is not absolutely necessary TO preserve
the peace of louisiana, it is great deal
better for them to be here than at Key
West where they have been kept all Sum-
mer at the risk of an epidemic among officers
and men, only to Justify appropriations which
have been diverted to political purposes. Thanks
TO the excellent precautions of Admiral Mullany.
however, the yellow fever was confined to single
ship which has now gone North and all are well on
all the vessels named above. 1t is thought best to
ep the feet on q war footing. No officer or man is
allowed TO leave his ship after night-fal. except on
official business, and for the present the guns are
kept loaded in order 10 be ready for any emergency
The army officers are very indignant about Gen.
Buffers uncalled-for assault upon Gen. Emory in
his Gloucester speech. So far from parleying with
the insurgents, charged by Gen. Butler, Gen. EN-
DRY has shown great decision OF character in every
act since the revolution and 1t was largely owing
to bis prOmptude, when he had only 100 men at his
command, that order was so soon restored. Had be
been disposed to yield to temptations freely offered
he might have made some political capital for him
self; but he has done bis duty as be understood it,
and obeyed orders as he received them, without
regard to such motives and in return has the salts
faction of knowing that be has the respect and good
opinion of all parties here well as the confidence
and entire approval of the President.
