The way "Patriotic" negroes are Enlisted at New Orleans.

--The following item of news from New Orleans, August 2 we take from the New York Herald of August 13:

‘ "Emancipation day was celebrated yesterday, and while they were enjoying themselves hugely, the military authorities made a raid upon the able-bodied colored men fit to become soldiers, and abruptly terminated their pleasure by marching them off to the barracks where colored candidates for military glory and renown are forced to congregate. A regiment of cavalry is on duty now, making further raids upon colored men."
