Enory is in command of the city Five gunboats and an armed storeship are flying on the river. It says: The Confederates occupy the entire State west of Lafourche Crossing and north of the Opelousas Railroad. The situation is more interesting and critical than it has been at any time since April 25th, 1862, when Farragut, with his fleet, appeared before New Orleans and demanded the unconditional surrender of the city. These things cannot but be disheartening to those Northern editors who have published so glowing accounts of the immense quantity of cotton and sugar which must necessarily come into market after the advance through the rich Attakanas country, in the march to Alexandria. But very little of this cotton has yet come to the city, and, as the country is again in the hands of t

M., three hours later, which says Lee had been driven only three quarters of a mile. A telegram in the Philadelphia Inquirer, which the telegrapher says is a "brief and candid statement," says ts that important dispatches have been captured by Capt. Dahlgren from Jeff.

ishment all who shall in any way offend against the orders on this subject. E. E. Lee, General. The situation in Louisiana--the Federal Despatch of Henrico thhy.--This is so. Our nation is in or at another fearful crisis. The audacious Gen. Lee, having faith in your imbecility, has boldly invaded one of our most populous you doing? If you repose supinely as heretofore in your chair of office and let Lee proceed, you ought to be damned, and you will certainly be damned, and you will th, East, and West, will not stand this humbugging any longer! You must conquer Lee or resign! Do you hear this? The people have given you all the guns, ammunitiond require that you will concentrate all the troops within five hundred miles of Lee's army within the next ten days, (as you easily can,) and plunge them at Lee on Lee on a given day, and the work is done. Unless you do this, you and the nation are undone. P. S.--If you had hung Vallandigham (as you ought to have done) and sent

The New York Herald, published on the 01th of July, has an editorial appropriate to the occasion. It thinks it ought to be welcome on the principle that "it is batter to go into the house of mourning than into the house of feasting." It says: For it dawns upon a people distracted with civil war and humiliated by invasion. It dawns over thousands of homes made newly upon a battle field big with yet undecided issues of national life or national death. Its morning light looks down upon the marshaling of armed men and the unfurling

much pressed he can in a day or two establish a battery within the work. The contest still rages, and as both sides are throwing up earthworks, it seems as if we might find at the end of a few days our point gained and our lines advanced to a most commanding position. Our losses, I grieve to say, include several very fine officers. The total, up to soon to day, in this particular division, will amount to about three hundred in killed and wounded — perhaps forty of the former. Major Leander Elak is killed by a ball through the forehead. Colonel Melancthen Smith, an excellent soldier and model gentleman, is dangerously, and we fear mortally wounded. The substantial value of this operation; which must have been as deadly is life and limb to the enemy as to ourselves, is that it enables us to break into their chain of reciprocally supporting works at the point where they are the nearest being impregnable.
