New Orleans, Aug. 1.-The relations Mississippi have reached an acute stage and from indications tonight 1t will change from interviews about the concealment of cases to a much more serious matter. From information that has come to hand, the dignity of the State of Louisiana has been offend ed by an armed invasion from the sis ter State. and this morning Governor Blanchard communicated with the cap tain of the naval brigade. which has a fully equipped gunboat with the view of having it dispatched to the borders to protect Louisiana citizens from fur ther indignities.
 Mississippi has five armed boats pat rolling the coast to prevent fishermen from breaking through the quarantine lines. These vessels are also assisted by the United States revenue cutter Winona. The Mississippi boats will not allow Louisiana fishermen to even enter Mississippi Sound, east of St. Joe Light, but from reports received here it appears that one of these patrol boats came into Lake Borgne. which Is distinctly Louisiana territory. and one report says it came up to the mouth OI Ldhc Doi 6hC SohoAt extends from the lake to the Missis- sippi river. only a distance of four and half miles.
 The naval brigade vessel, Stranger draws too much water for service in that vicinity, but a little draft boat will be impressed into service, armed with a howitzer or two and manned by officers from the brigade and will be sent out to prevent further aggres- sions.
 Louisiana Boats Taken.
 Tonight 1t was learned authorta- lively that the schooner Grace of Gulf port. and another vessel had been " ing five miles inside of the Louisiana line most of the time for the past week and at times even entering the Rigo- lets, the outlet from Lake Pontchar- train into Lake Borgne. and during that time had taken eighteen Louis jana boats, some of them schooners and others lusgers. and turned them over to the United States revenue cut
