4. the capture of New-Orleans. by William Densmore, U. S.N. Come, all you Union-loving men, wherever you may be, I hope you'll pay attention now, and listen unto me, Concerning of a gallant ship, the Brooklyn is her name, Which name deserves to be engraved upon the list of fame. 'Twas in December, sixty-one, as you shall unde the Brooklyn she did steer Down through the Gulf of Mexico for every privateer. It was in the month of April, the fleet being all complete That was to capture New-Orleans, the rebels to defeat; From Pilotstown the fleet steamed up, resolved not to return Until the Louisiana fleet we'd sink, destroy, and burn. The rebels they wer less than twenty minutes we sunk them every one! The Union fleet now gives three cheers and up the river steams, With nothing to oppose them till they get near New-Orleans. The Chalmette's batteries next we take — the river now is clear-- We spike their guns, and give three cheers, and for the city steer; From each mast-head thro
New-Orleans, La.--A Mr. Matthews, who got through the rebel lines into Gen. Banks's department, says that at Shreveport, La., a tavern-keeper's wife assured him that Mr. Lincoln kept himself shut up in an iron cage, and did not allow any one but Mrs. Lincoln and Mr. Seward to see him-because he was afraid of being killed. --Detroit Advertiser.
8. Epigram. Whilst Butler plays his silly pranks, And closes up New-Orleans banks, Our Stonewall Jackson, with more cunning, Keeps Yankee Banks forever running. --Charleston Mercury.
New-Orleans, Oct. 10.--A case of some interest to the cullered population was decided, yesterday, by Judge Kinsman. It appears that a free colored man named John Montamat was married to a slave woman, by whom he had two children, one of which died; the other, a little girl about eleven years of age, a bright mulatto, quite fair to look upon, still survives, and was the subject of the present legal proceedings. Montamat, at the time of his marriage, determined to purchase the freedom of his wife from her owner, and, in furtherance of that object, had paid six hundred dollars. In order to secure the freedom of his surviving child, he sent her to Cincinnati, where she was baptized into the Catholic Church. Montamat, the father, subsequently became involved in debt in this city, and mortgaged his daughter as a slave to secure his creditors. The mortgage was foreclosed in February, 1862, and the child of this father was sold to a Mr. Slavoie, at sheriffs sale. In the present case,
s not for our people to be deterred by this expedient. We must remember that our condition cannot possibly be made worse than it will have become should the Yankees succeed in their scheme of subjugation. As for the rules of civilized war, we have this to say: A people who, for no justifiable cause whatever, have come to place a yoke of iron on our necks, are not entitled to their benefit. Moreover, those rules, as well as the ordinary obligations of humanity, have been entirely disregarded by the Yankees wherever they have succeeded in obtaining control. Witness their inhuman conduct at Nashville, Huntsville, New-Orleans, and elsewhere. Witness their attack with shell and shot upon Chattanooga, without a warning for the removal of the women and children. In addition to pitched battles upon the open field, let us try partisan ranging bushwhacking — and hence-forward, until the close of this war, let our sign be, The Black Flag and no Quarter!--Jackson Mississippian, June 10.
Mobile, October 3.--Brute Butler has issued an order (No. 76) requiring all persons in New-Orleans, male or female, eighteen years of age or upwards, who sympathize with the Southern Confederacy, to report themselves by first October, with descriptive lists of their property, real and personal. If they renew their allegiance to the United States Government, they are to be recommended for pardon; if not, they will be fined and imprisoned, and their property confiscated. The policemen of the city are charged with the duty of seeing that every householder enrols his property in the respective districts.--Richmond Inquirer, October 6.
A Federal scout named W. J. Murray went on horseback from New-Orleans to Baton Rouge, to ascertain the condition of the telegraph line, which has been destroyed by the rebels. He rode forty miles through the enemy's country, which was infested with roving bands of guerrillas, but met with no opposition, and returned to New-Orleans with safety.--Louisville Journal.

Atlanta, Ga., October 30, 1862.--Our sanctum was honored yesterday with the presence of Colonel Durant da Ponte, the accomplished chief editor, in past days, of that able journal, the New-Orleans Delta, but who is now on the military staff of General Magruder, and en route for that General's command in Texas and New-Mexico. When New-Orleans fell, Col. da Ponte abandoned the pen for the sword, and has done gallant service for the South with the latter, as he did with the former, when at the head of that popular journal.--Atlanta Intelligencer.
