Foote, dated last evening, from bis fleet opposite Fort Wright. From its contents, it is judged that the siege of that forti- fication was then progfess!ng without the recent oceurrence there of anything noteworthy. He had at that time evidently not heard the news of the fall of New Orleans before our naval forces. LATER FROM YORKTOWN. Last evening the following telegram from Gen. McClellan reached the War Department : Hea nquartERs ARMy oF Potomac, April 2-— 11 a. m.—To Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: Nothing of interest during the night. No firing on our right, where the work proceeded undisturbed. On the left the enemy fired a good deal, but burt no one; nor was the work inter- rupted. Have just senta heavy fleld bsttery to silence a gun or twoof the enemy's that have been impertinent this morning but bave burt no one. The weather has improved, and we are making good progress. G. B. McCretzan, Msj. Gen. Com'd’g. NEW ORLEANS AGAIN. Some of those around us are doubting the rell- ability of the news of the appearance of our Gulf fleet in the Mississippi opposite New Orleans, and the simultaneous abandonment of the city by the rebel military, that has come to us through Virginia newspapers. There need be no appre- hension whatever relative to its truth. ac mit the possibility of its publication in Seces- sia unless it were useless to try to conceal it from the put 'ic there. That we 2re in full possession of New Orleans 1s therefore positively true. The United States having the entire command of the waters sur- rounding it can bold it at will with not more than five thousand troops, our navy there being worth a garrison of a hundred thousand men to thatend. We have no spece in which to expisin in detail how and why the presence of # small naval force in the river and about the lake is likely to be so much more effective there than elsewhere, further then to say that for 4wo hun- dred miles it is approachable by a land force from up the country only over a strip of land no- where more then half a mile wide, as level asa parlor oor, and without any sheiter of dense foliage. In the rear of this strip isa swamp ut- terly impazsable for troops, of ing width and capable of being made a dee wide lake any where and at any time by baif an hour's iahor ‘with balf a dozen shovels. No army could march down the cozst strip mentioned above with our gunboats raking it; while without a naval ferce superior to ours in that quarter no army could menace the city from the rear—via Lake Pon- ebartrain and the sbell road. Under these cir- cumstances, to take It, is to aseure its possession to the United Ftates, beyond all peradventure Witu the city fest in cur possession, wecoip- mand “the situation” In Louisiana almest a thoroughly as at this momeat in New \ ork.

Evening Post.] Ix Camp Burore Yorxrow’s, Va., April 25.— A rebel deserter to-day reported that we have killed one rebel brigadier general, two captains and several lientenants since we bave been in front of Yorktown. The number of killed and wounded Is withheld from the rebel troops, but it is large, and many of the enemy are hit by our artillery and sharpsbooters each day. Our guns keep up a desultory firing, and the rebels occasionally respond. The enemy opened a broadside at a point near our pickets yester- day, and continued it for a few minutes with great rapidity, but elicited no reply and did no injury. r ae spy. dressed like a California Indian, ‘was stopped by two or tbree shots from one of our gunboats last night, while paddling hastily up stream; but he will give no account of himself. He is a complete puzzie to our ‘detectives.’ A survey of Yorktown yesterday showed that the enemy were at work in two directions; one party of workmen constructing new earthworks, and the ot! er removing every movable thing into the woods In the rear of their works. All the in- fantry hes moved back The rebels show indications of uneasiness in their present position. It is supposed that they are either making preparations to evacuate York- town, or else meditating some scheme of attack upon ue. Alltneir batteries_to the left of those in the immediate vicinity of Yorktown are si- lenced, or at least they make no reply to our guns. A large number of shot and shells were thrown Into their works yesterday. Several reb- els are, however, seen hovering {n the vicinity of these lesser works, watchin, our movements Farther from Yorktown. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer.] Camp WisFisLD fcort, near Yorktown, Sun- day, April 27 —Colonel Crocker and Major Cas- sady,who left under such suspicieus circumstan- ces and weni over to the enemy, are now thought to have gone over deliberately with treazonable designs. Their papers and remaining effects were examined to-day, bnt nothing was found tending to show any disloyalty. The other ¢ dicers in the regiment thirk that it was a fool-hardy recon- noisssnce on their part, and that they were caught by the Rebels.

Fn i FORT PILLOW. {From Correspondance Chics Pines, Ayrii 25.) At Fort Pillow the operations of the flotilla are nesriy suspended. An ocessional shell 1s tossed at the rebel fortifications merely to let the enemy know th&t Investm stillcontioues. As already intimated, the bombardment of the fort will not be commenced unt'i afer the defeat of Beaure- gerd at Corinth. The pun and mortar-boats, be wever, are kept eens prevent. for action. Thisis necessiry,the more so from the fact that the enemy are known to bevea feet of their own around Craighead’s Point, aud there jaa chance that they may venture ont with their boats to at- tack our vessels.

Trage and business are sus- pended, the women meet daily at churches, in hatte, te manufacture garments for the soldiers, bells are recast Into cannon, while the roll of the drum is summoning crowds of forced levies into the service.

Comments of the Rebe) Journals on theNew Orleans News. (From the Richmond Enqufrer, April 23} Affairs are critical at New Orleans this time. On Thursday, sovention te intelligence received here, two of the enemy’s gunboats passed Fort Ja*kson, and commenced to make cautious ob- 8 rvetions fa the river above. Thesame informa- tion stated that the Louisiana, the iron-clad bat tery, was in position to resist them. On iy there were reports that an addi- tional number of the enemy’s vessels had run by the forts.

The Spanish Armada, if | remember aright, consisted of somewhere about one hundred an thirty vessels, and Porter bas no less than twenty- one bomb schooners lgden with South Conling mortars—implements of war. for one of whic! the leaders of the old Spanish would have bar- tered any dozen of their best weasels. These mortar schooners woud, however, be very much like an umbrella without a handle. or a bow without a string, were it not for the three ferry- boats Clifton, Westficld and Jackson, whicu are doing the state more service down here than ever they did on the Staten Island route. They tow the sluggish schooners about, accelerating their motion te a degree which quite amazes the heavy laden craft, if they be sensible of amazement. One of these ferry-boats can tow two or three of the mortar vessels at once. The mortar fleet is divided into three divis- ions, known respectively as the Red, White and Blue. The Harriet Lane is Commodore Porter's flag-ship. . Before | arrived in these waters the fleet bad begun the great work of entering the Mississipp!.
