OFFICIAL RErOEt ou Tas NEW OBLEANS We lay before our readers this afternoon a communication addressed to the President by the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, the Attorney General of the State, and the Mayor | of New Orleans, in reference to the great riot in that city. As many of the accounts previ- ously pubhshed were ex parie, we presume that all who wish to be correctly informed on | the origin and progress of the unfortunate j affaur, will attentively peruse this official state. ment, which is clear and concise. and details ina dispassioned manner many important facts not heretofore published. 1t goes to show not | only that the President did all in his power to prevent this disturbance, but that the press o¢ | New Orleans, excepting those of radical pro- clivities, exhorted the people previous to the Tiots to Maintam good order and refraim from Spy interference with the convention what- ever; that the civil anthorities sought to take measures beforehand to prevent difficulty, and were willing to co-operate with General Baird, and in consequence of an agreement | ‘With that officer, but a small police force was senttothe vicinity of the hall in which the convention met, the General having indicated that he would have s military force present ‘and that there was no intention to prevent th, convention from holding their meeting, and | ny warrant from the jadiciary for the arrest ofthe members was to be submitted to the military, who had beer ordered by the Presi- dent not to thwart the convention. Some parties, however, to carry out their political programme. were determined to thwart these efforts to keep the peace, with What result bas been seen. In spite of all attempts to shift the responsibility for this sad affair, it will be fastened on those but for whose incendiary harapgues it would have been prevented. Of course, when the disturb. ance was commenced. bad passions were wnloosed on both sides. Attorney General Herron, who signs thi- statement, was a major general in the Federal army during the late War. MAJOB GENERAL HUNTER BETIRED. An order was issued from the War Depart- Ment yesterday placing on the retired list Bre- vet Major General David Hunter, on hisown | application. Gen.
