Fort Sumter and New Orleans.

The battle at Fort Sumter was accompanied by even less loss of life than that at New Orleans. In the latter battle only seven Americans were killed, whilst the ground was literally strewed with the fallen ranks and columns of their enemy. If the picked regulars of Great Britain, numbering double the American force, met such a reception at the hands of Southern militiamen, what right have the gasconading cockneys of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, &c., to expect an easy victory?
