Rosseau, Com- mancing Depariment (f Louisiana, New Orleans. | Your dispatch of the 26th, forwardiug a mes- sae from the Governor of Louisiana, and ask- ing instructions, has been received. ‘You are anthorized and expected to take such Action as may be necessary to preserve the ace and good order and-to protect the lives and property of citizens. J. M. Scnovisto, Secretary of War. Tne Trovntas mm Nsw ORLEANS.—Consid- erable uneasiness is expressed at Army Head- quarters at the comdition of affairs in New Or- ‘cans. Dispatches have been received from General Rousseau im relation to the disturb- ances which occurred yesterday, but they have bot been promulgated. A singular allegation is made in regard to the first United States infantry, stationed there to preserve the peace. The men composing the regiment | Were nearly all recruited in New Orleans, and a letter irom & promiment officer on duty there, to a member of General Grant’s staff says that three-fourths of the enlisted men have served in the Confederate army, and that un- less other troops are at once sent to relieve them no protection will be afforded to loyal men m ease a riot should occur. These troops, the letter says, will take advantage of the umform they wear, and shoot down loyal, peaceable negroes under pretence that the latter are in- citing riot, while every protection will be shown the rebel element, who are real aggressors. in view of this condition of atfairs, there is gvod authority tor believing that this regiment ‘Willat once be ordered to the frontier, and another one, not reeruited South, sent to take its place. Secretary Schofield had the New Orleans troubles under consideration to-day, and there is reason to believe that he brought the matter before the Cabinet at the meeting this af- ternoon. Additional troops have been ordered a readiness to goto New rieans if further troub’e oceurs.

Thirty years ago, being then only eleven yearseld, anda resident of Comanche county, Alabama, her eldest sister married and removed to another portion of the game state. This marriage was unhappy.

All that ‘we know of the child 1s that she is now a lady of twenty-nine years and resiaes in her mative state. About a year since Judge Dean, of Batts, Dean & Watson, received a letter from this lady, saying that she believed her aunt re- sided In Galveston. and that she desired to Snow of her whereaboats, After inguiring, be fonnd the missing aunt to be Mrs, wen. ‘The ladies were put in communication, and the one in Al assured that her mother, frem whom sbe had been stolen, was dead. “Thus matters rested until Iast Tuesday, when a Mrs. Martin, at the suggestion of a mu- tual triend, was introduced to and visited Mrs. in was the mother of the Ainbama indy who was stolen twenty-five years since. ‘Thus the two met and were recognised, after im absence of thirty years, with never a straw. berry mark on the left arm of either.
