At New Orleans.

New Orleans. July 23.-The first game of the Nashville series was dropped into the capacious maw of the New Orleans team by a score of II to 1. The game was a snap for the home club. who went into the game for keeps and won from the start. Moran was in the box for the visitors and he was merely a starting point for a pyrotechnical display that would win a game for any time. In the sixth inning he was touched up for seven juicy bases. and he lost all hopes after that. He was very cratic in his delivery and gave nine bases on balls.
 The grounds were wet from the morn- ing rain and rain stopped the game five minutes between the first and second innings. Stallings protested against playing, but Umpire Mcfarland ordered the teams to play and Stallings came out at the little end of the horn. Frost of Nashville was too drunk to play, and was left out of the game. Score:

 Jacksonville, Fla. July 29-A cable gram from Key West, Fla, to the Times Union says: United States District At torney Clark arrived by the steamer Mascotte today to take charge of the case against the steam tug George w Childs A fine of 5000 was imposed on the Childs by the collector of customs for failure to submit passenger manifest upon enter ing from Jamaica it having been re- ported to the collector that she had been engaged in carrying passengers.
 The proof is conclusive that the Childs has been engaged in filibustering. The revenue cutter McLane returned to this city today from Pine Key, where she was sent by Collector Browne to search for arms, etc. She reports finding large quantities of beans, rice, vermicello, bread and other provisions in small house on the key, which bore evidence Of having been recently been occupied by number of people.
 number of Cubans came to the city from the keys yesterday It is supposed that they had camped at Pine Key wait ing for the Childs to take them off, and when she was seized by Collector Browne word was sent them by Cuban managers here to return, as the expedition had been broken up. There is no doubt that Collector Browne's prompt action in seiz- ing the Childs on Sunday prevented her from taking an expedition to Cuba.
