on to a last feeble struggle. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 28th inst., says: Dispatches received yesterday from Gens Wool and McDowell convey the important and exhilerating information that the city of New Orleans has fallen into the possession of the Union troops, and is once more under the dominion of the United States Government. The information, though emanating from rebel sources, and without detail, can doubtless be relied upon. Our latest authentic advices from Ship Island, (April 26,) inform us that Gen. Butler was at that time busily employed preparing his forces for an advance on New Orleans. As usual with such large expeditions, some mistakes had been made in regard to supplies, which were being rectified with all possible alacrity. The force under Gen. Butler was about 15,000 strong. He was also accompanied by the mortar fleet, under command of Commander David D. Porter, U. S. N., comprising thirty vessels and 2,000 men. One by one are the c

engers from Pittsburg report that on Thursday over thirty deserters from the rebel army entered our camps and begged to be enrolled among our troops.

--The combined movements ordered by Gen. Fremont against the guerillas in Webster county have proved eminently successful. Lieut. Lawson, with one detachment employed in this service, has returned, and others are returning. In a severe running fight of seven miles, Lawson killed seventeen guerrillas and took nineteen prisoners. The town of Addison, a small place, the only one in the new county, being deserted, was burned. It had been a guerilla haunt.

Southern papers the telegraphic dispatches which have been received announcing the fall of New Orleans Relow will be found a summary of the latest Northern news: The news from New Orleans. Washington, April 27. --Washington is wild with rejoicing over the intelligence of the capture of New Orleans. The radicals are rather downcast at the rapidity with which Union victories are achieved. What Old England failed to do with all her power has been handsomely accomplished by New England. The manner in which the success at Forts Jackson and St. Phillip was followed up is highly commended. In thirty hours our brave men consummated their victory, and appeared before the great city of the Southwest to receive its submission. This is but a foretaste of Southwestern operations. No mention is made by the rebels of the iron-clad "turtles" and "rams" that were to annihilate the Yankee fleet, which leads to a suspicion that the common estimate of the rebel motive power fro

escapade. The Shenandoah bridge has not yet been burned, but pickets are stationed there ready to apply the torch on our first approach. Harrisonburg, April 26, P. M.--Jackson is resting on the east side of the Shenandoah with his whole force, about sixteen miles hence. His scouts frequently make a dash on our pickets. One of the latter was killed this afternoon. The spongy nature of the soil prevents our advance at present. The weather is clear and pleasant. From Northwestern Virginia. Wheeling, Va.

the above, the Herald says, editorially: We have to chronicle to-day one of the most important events in the progress of the war against rebellion. According to statements received at the War Department yesterday from General Wool, at Fortress Monroe, and General McDowell, on the Rappahannock, the rebel journals at Petersburg and Richmond announce that New Orleans is occupied by the Union army. Thus, while we have been conducting formidable and expensive expeditions on the Mississippi river and on the sea coast, to assail the rebel strongholds in the South, and subduing them one by one, the greatest cotton port of the rebels has fallen into our hands, an event which must change the whole features of the war in the South and West, battle the plans of Beadregard at Ocrinth and Memphis, paralyse the action of Johnston at Yorktown, and reduce this nefarious rebellion to a last feeble struggle.
