Banke an- Bouncing tho fall of Vicksburg was made public to-day, and the nows caused a thrill throughout the entire com- muntty, The secession portion would not and still do not Believe one word of it, They call the report a damned Yankee lie, and say it was gotten up only to influence mutters in and around Port Hudson, As there is no doubt of the truth of the despatch, we feel much relieved and confident that the hopes of the rebols in this quarter are effectually crushed. Port Hud- ®on must fall ina very few days from force of circum stances. nnd Gen, Gardner must surrender without an as Sanit; for be con expect vo assistance from any quarter, and it wonld be folly to resist, aud thereby cause addi tional loss of life, if nothing ia to bo gained by the opera- tion, There is po doubt that matters here have looked ry badly durlug the last few days, and I have no hesitation iv saying, now the danger is over, that, baa Vicksburg not surrendered, Gen. Banks would have been completely cut off, and New Orleans would tave been left to the care of tho gunboats And the few troops that at present eempose tho garrison, Ibave not aared to say openty, althoagh I have hinted mu bin former letters, the true state of affairs in this department. Wo bave considered an attack upon the city very probable for a week past, and every one knew the consequence if (he enemy had attempted to reoceupy the city—that the fect would have opened at once and bid) Orieans jn ashes, Iam confident the newer of to dy is al! that prevented the enemy from making the Attempt. It is agreat feeling of reiief to know the tide bas tumed, and that the enemy have received a stagger * §ny blow—one from which they never ean recover. The Wflvence that the surrender of Vicksburg wilt have vpon the people of this section of the country can hardly be realized. Mississippi and Alabama will be overrun by our armies, Mobi'e must fall, sad the robels will be driven ‘| inte the Caro! an! Southern Viegtuia, Who, then, is to feed them? Verily the rebeifion is oa its list legs. The rebols of New Orlewms—and their name is tegion—have Teally oxpected Jvck Mngrater to dine in their city in tho course of afew days,as he promised shortly atter Broshoa’ (\ty wos taken; and 1 must coufess it looked very much as if be intended to try it on.’? The danger, however, is now all over, thanks to General Grant and the officers and moo of bis army, and we ean now fool that Now Orleans is forever under our control, without fear of further molestation, We shall require additional forces to drive ont the rebel army tu Western Louisiana and rexccupy Texes; but next full will answer for that pur powe, ovr army requiring some rest during the coming months to recover from the fat\ues of the late campaign The enemy is annoying us very much atong tho west Dank of the river. They have one battery about eight miles below [onaldsonville, another at College Point, and another ten miles below. ‘The levoe anewors very well for « fortification, a few ombrasures Baving been cut In it, and the river is 80 low that dircet fring from our gon oats has no visible effect upon them. They have also taken all the neyro women and children from the neighboring Planiations and placed them outside the levee, between and around their cuns, knowing that we cannot return their fire without killing a great many. [very transport is now fired ‘upen and moro or lees damaged. The St. Marys. in com- ‘tng down fast night, was fired upon and hit no less than Seven times—no one hurt, bowever—and every steamer carrying supplies up the river or returning has to be con ‘woyed, Tho Monongabela and one of the gunboats engaged the upper battery yesterday, and in the fight Commander Abnor Reed, of the Monongahela, was mortally wounded Dy the bursting of a shell; Captain Thornton A. Jenking, captain of the fleet, was slightly wounded, aod one man ‘was killed. The battery had sot been efionced at the iast ecconnts, and I fear it will require a large land force and the proadsidee of our beavy ships to clear the river of Ubeso miscreants, The gnos they have in position are nine and twelve pounder feld pieces, which they can move ‘with raridity from point to point, and retreat with readily fe case oO being altackod tn force. ‘The United States Navy bas sustained « great jess in Commander Reet, He was, to use a common expression, one of tbo most generous follows im the service.

New Ontxans, July 9, 1863, Brecitemen! in Regard to the News of the Fall of Vicksburg— Probatilitu of the Early Surrender of Port Hudson—Pu- ture Military Movement;—Fourth of July and the Mass Meding—The Oondition of Our Colored Population—Utt- mann and his Corps d’ Afriqus—HHis Staff Offtecrs—They Become Posted on Lifeim New Orleans—The Generals of the D-prrtment and the Effective Men—Another Violation of the Quarantine Law, ‘bc. ‘The excitement attending she news of the fall of Vicks. burg has about died out, and the secessionists begin to feet more confident of the report being a hoax, from the fact of no news having been received to-day from up the river, and the Jackson, Miss., papers of the 8d instant, received here this morning, speaking in a hopefo! man- ner regarding the siege. Bets have been freely offered against the truth of the report and as freely taken; but as it is considered seditious to express doubts of the truth of General Grant's despatch, or to bet that Vicksburg has not fallen, the crowd aro obliged to be silent or make their ‘bets in a quiet way, for fear of an arrest and heavy fine. Can they do more than this in Austria, or does the fine come under the law against gambling? Although there are many rebels who do not believe Vicksburg has fallen, and are willing to bet it has not, still the majority keep silent, and show by their long faces their belfef in the news being true. We await the full confirmation with great anxiety, as you may suppose; for we are desirous to know what caused the fall of a stronghold like Vicksburg, defended as it was by an army of twenty-seven thousand men, It musthave been starvation, with no hope of re- lief, The next arcival from Port Hudson will doubtless bring us further information and set all doubts at rest, Port Hudson must surrender in a very few days, if not in our possession now, for, as I gaid in my letter of yester- day, their last chance of being relieved is over. Every man of the rebels that has been threatening our rear for some time past will have to be withdrawn for the defence of Mobile; for the next attack of General Grant may be expected at that point, if he does not march to attack Bragg in fintk or rear. Mississippi is ours ag well as Vicksburg. Whea Port Hudson falls a sufficient force will clear out the west side of the river ana prevent further annoyance to our transports, and possibly General Banks will, in connection with a naval attack, endeavor to recover possession of Brashear City. The latter is of the highest importance, and must be accomplished at all hazards, for tho Atchafalaya river is necessary, together with the entire line of the Opelousas Railroad, for a proper control of “the Stato of Louisiana, There having been no arrival since the steamer St. Marys, we are without further information respecting the condition of the river, and if our ships of-war have been abie to silence the rebei batteries I am of the opinion they have received the particular attention of Admiral Farragut ere this, for he is not apt to aNlow such annoyances to remain in existence when he bas the power to destroy them. They must be, when once silenced, prevented from making their appear- ance in other places, otherwise the transportation of stores for the army will be almost impossible; as it now is, the utmoet difeulty is experfonced in keeping up the supply of provisions and amraunition- nevessary for con- ducting the siege properly. Fourth of July passed off very quietly, in fret with far less noige and confusion than I bave over seen before ina large city. There was a mass meeting in the evening, at which several epeeches were made. The larger part of the crowd in attendance were negroes, who expressed , in vehement cheering, their delight at the eloquence of the speakers. Sambo is rapidly gaining the opinion that he is fully equal to a white man, if not a little his superior, and bis assuming any position in future would not sur- prise me in the ledst; fur when~he once thinks well of himself there is no telling to what lengths he will go Vermitting large bodies of negroes to assemble at ma 8 meetings like that on the Fourth of July, and placing them in all respects on a par with the white population, 1s, in connection with othor matters, the reason why tho citizens of New Orleans are such bitter enemies of every Northern man. Government could obtain all they re- quire of the negro without tho nocessity of thus tan- talizing the Southern people with the fact of their pro perty being taken from them and permitted to enjoy a position on an equal footing with theinsolves. The pro- clamation of the President regarding emancipation is more fully carried out in this city, where he announces slavery still to exist, than in South Carolina or any other State of the so-called confederacy. The excepting of this city and the surrounding partshes was a mere farce, gotten up for a certain purpose, and never intended to be carried out, At least we are entitled to think such the case from the action of anthorities; for the negro is as free in New Orleans to-day as if he were in New York or Boston. We hear but little said and see nothing of the progress made by Brig. Gen. Jel Ullmann in raising bis corps d'Afrique. He keeps remarkably quiet, and, with the ex coption of a general order of great length, cautioning the negroes in regard to the careless handling of firearms, and urging them in the most sarnest terms to enlist in his brigade, we seldom if ever hear from him. His staif ap- pear to be makiog the most of their time and enjoying as much as possible Iie in New Orleans while the oppor- tunity lasts, The Assistant Adjutant General drives around in an open barouche, with a superb pair of grays, and one of the corps d'Afrique on the box with the driver. ‘The last papers roceived announce that Major General Franklin ts ordered hero, to report for duty with General Banks. Does be bring @ division or corps d’arme: with him, of is he only sent here to be kept out of the way of ‘the democrats of Penneylvania, in order to prevent bis nomination for Governor of that State? . Another tranwport steamer, the Scott, from New York, With dates to the 28th ult.—one day later—is announced delow. She stopped at Key West, but has been permit- ted to pase the quarantine and come up to the city. It appears to be the determination of the authorities to have the yollow fever hero this summer if it can possibly, be imported. Not antisfled with using up several thou. sand men at Porsé Hudson, they desire to kill off the Dalance hy diserse. When the yellow fever makes its ap- pearance among tho unacclimated in the city it will be wondered on every side how It could have possibly origi- pated, when so mueh precantion bad been used to pre- vent it. I have said enough about this matter, however, and will cease, for it appears the more that is said the Jens attention is paid to the matter.

However, Grant has done the work thos far,and will, If neeeesary, do the rest, provided he is allowed to retain his Westera army, With sucd eoldio.sas he has anything is possible, which is vot the cago with some others, Iam sorry to say, not only here, but elsewhere. Now Orleans has been a great state of excitement to-day, The eecossionizts have been down, down, down io. spirita, They look upon thelr change in this sec tion as hopeless, and have not a word tosay. Immediately upon the uews being received the squadron “dressed ship,” andthe Pensacola fired a salute; a field battory nso saluted om shore, and the Unioviste are everywhere in bigh glee, Juleps and cocktails are in great demand, and the Zra is lxuriating in an extra announcing the ‘«Jmportant military movement.” The Stars and Stripes are to-day seon where they have not floated betore for a ong time. Some men are expressing Union sentiments thet were yesterday rebels, and more than one man ‘wearing shoulder straps has been seen waiking the strocts with an extremely unsteady gait, As son ag Port Hudson surrendered the United States steamers Hartfora and Albatross came down the river, aud the former, in company with the Richmond and Fasex, proceeded at once to Donalsonville, where they joined company with the Monongahela, and all tour then proceeded to the position of the enemy’s batterics below, and at once *‘pitehed in,’’ and at last accounts were giv- ing the enemy the dovil. General Weitzel, with a division, embarked at Springfield Landing yesterday, and landed at Donaldsonyiile last evening, and marched at once upon the enemy’s rear. Consequently we have every reason to expect that by this time the batteries are either captured or destroyed, and the enemy’s force compelied to fall back from the west bank of the river, Admiral Farragut ar- rived here this morning in the steamer Tennegsee, She was fired at last evening by all the batteries and struck four.times, She bad one man killed—Orderly Sergeant 8. 8. Sherman, of the marines, @ native of Philadelphia, aged twenty-four years. ‘The United States steamers Now London, Winona sod Kiveo were also engaged with the larger ships in endeavoring to silence the enemy's guns. The arrival of the Tenne+see confirins the report uf the death of Commander Abner Reed, Uuited States Navy. He was buried at Baton Rouge. A general order will bo issued, 1 understand, by the Adimirai in regard to the death of so brave a man and valuable an officer. Captain Emmons, United States Navy, who arrived hore yestor- day, will, J am informed, assume command of the Monon- gahela. Dr. J. N. Foltz, United States Navy, flect surgeon of tho Western Gulf squadron, made formal protests yester- day, in writing, to the military authorities regarding and against the frequent violations of the quarantine, Capt. Emmons, United States Navy, reports that the Spanish steamer Pizarro, whose arrival at quarantine I have men tioned in a former letter, has had ten vew cases of yellow fever on board since her arrival. The three cases sho landed have all died, and the probabilities ‘are the disease will spread to the other vessels around here, he officcré of the Pizarro are anxious to go to sea, but are prevented by the Spanish Consul here. Our authorities, unle:s they de- sire to introduce the fever among the troops in less than two weeks, should order her to sea at onoe, and, if neces- sary, send the Spanish Consul with her. I have no doubt “that he desires no greater fun than being the moans of infecting our army with a pestilence. T am pleased to learn that Captain Shipley, United States Army, 8o long on duty here in the Quartermaster’s Department, bas received the appointment of Acting Brigadier General of Volunteers. The appointment is an excellent one, Capt. Shipley. being one of the best soldiers and most active and energetic officers of the army. He assumes the command of Brigadier General Ullmann, that officer not being found up to the emergency, and will take the fiela at once, If there is work to be done General Shipley will do it, and in a s:ldier-tike manner; when wanted he will be found with his command. ‘We are now expecting the first boat from Xt. Louis or Lonisville, and would not be eurprised at her making her appearance at any moment. When she arrives we will focl satisfied of the river being open, and once open it will be our own fault if it is not kept so, M wo are annoyod by bushwackers or ficld batteries, our plan should be to burn everything—cities, towns, villages, private rosi- dences—and lay the country waste: for if the people will not acknowledge themselves conquered they should be made to feel they are by devastating thoir country. Fir ing upon unarmed transports can only be punished by treating the guilty parties in a simpilar manner. Ivy 10—Evening. ‘We have had nothing new since writing the above. Tho articles of capitulation and correspondence botweon (en erals Gardner and Banks relative to the surrender of. Port Mudson are to go forward to the War Department by the steamer of to-morrow. They will not be made pub- lic here. I bave heard enough, however, to know that General Gardnor surrendered only for the reason that Vicksburg hard fallen, not deeming it of any advantage to his cause to longer retain possession of Port Hudson. All this confirms what I have before stated—that General Gardner could not be made to surrender unless General Pemberton first determined to do so, I hope to bave my next full of fnteresttng details relative to the surrender and occupation, which cannot be had now. An atieupt will at once be made to reocenpy Brashear City, nud 1 think with success. And you may expect shortly to hear from Admiral Farragut in another locality. The Latest News.

The actual siege of the place commenced on the 24th day of May. General Banks, having moved from Alex: andria, crossed the Missigsipp! at Simmesport. and mo: ing down jomed bis forces with those of General Augur, who bad marched up from Baton Rouge. ‘the place was closely inverted, and the siege was prosecuted with uo- Heed vigilance antil the surrender, a perind of forty- five days. y Two assaults were made, one on the 27th of May and the other on the 14th of June; and although neit ca them was complotely successful positions of importanee were obtained and held yand decided advantiges gained. During the siege, and “eapeciaily in the awrite of the 27th May, many lives were lost, and we have to mourn smany brave officers and true soldiers. But such aro the ‘chances of war, and the glorious victory we hav guned compensates, 60 far as compensation can be made fur hu- sown life, for all the blood it has cost. ‘the prize was worthy; the place was one that bad to be takenat every hazard, and its fall will be hailed by the country as one of the most decisive events of the war. The army of the “outhwest now rests from a campaign of several months duration, and one of extraordinary and rapid marches and of splendid resuite. Let us hear good news from the army of the Potomac, and we shall see how rapidly tho fabric of treason will dissppear.
