The Imperial brought a load of cattle, part of ‘that captured at Natches, and, what was more important, ‘@8t. Louis paper of the 8th inst., one day later than we ad received. Both the Picayune and ?rue Delta issued extras, and they met with ready sale, The arrival or the ‘Imperial settled the question with all as to the capture of ‘Vicksburg; and they who, the day before, did not believe “ta damned word of it,” paid ever their bets without fur- ther trouble, Bitter‘as the four pills have been to the secessionists they have swallowed them, although not ‘without making many wry faces. Some of them yester- @ay talked Of peace and reconstruction—a subject I have never heard spoken of before among the creoles of New Orleans. This more than anything else proves how ter- ridle they consider the late disasters to have been to their cause. General Banks arrived in the city night before last; but ‘Ahis stay, I understand, is to be short, for the reason ‘that he intends to take the field again in person during to carry the war into Texas occu] hold the line of the Rio Grande, It would not surprise, me if the French had an eye upon Texas, and we should Rave men enough to hold the State and prevent any at- tempt of Johnny. “7apeau to cross our borders. This is a mere surmise, to be sure; but 1 have beard it hinted by many that such may be the result now that the French’ have sconred the capital of Mexico. More unlikely ‘tbings have happened; hence the necessity of being pre- pared for any emergency. Napoleon may attempt inter- ‘vention in thie manner; he is capable of it, and we should Be in a condition to check his first move in a manner to effectually prevent a second attempt. Ihave heard many prominent secessionists say, sce the news has been received of their recent disasters, and of the probable failure to establish their independence, ‘that now is the time France ead England will intervene and prevent the South being conquered into a peace and reconstruction, They deciare that the great Powors of Earope will not permit, if they can prevent it, this coun. try being united again. England and France, they insist, have heid aloof only because they saw we were rapidly eating exchyother up, and they waited quietly in hopes that when both sides were effectualy weakened they could slip in and divide the spoils. This is very plausi Die reasoning, and upon it the South now found ail their hopes for s separate government. Europe has dis- coverera since the commencement of the war, ‘and for tho firet time, the immense power and resources of this couatry, and it is her policy to prevent eur people from being friends again. As one people we are irresistio je—the balance of the world is nothing to us; ‘end, knowing thie, the monarckios of the Old World will strive by every means at their command, even by force of arms, to prevent peace, except upon the basis of a Soutbern confederacy. Such i the expreased opinion bere at the prescat time. 1 feel patiefed that peace could be declared, in the Present state of affairs, in twenty-four hours after an armistice, if the rights of tne Southern people, under the cenatitation of the United States, would be acknowledged and respected by these of the North. But this, I fear, cannot be; for ibe radical abolition faction will prevent peace except upes the entire abolition of slavery. Such being the case, 1 am confident the war will be protracted nptil the men of the South are con- quered, either by starvation or extermination | see no Frespect of their coming to terma on any other ground. lt ie meleocksly ty think bow very little would ereate the most ecduring peace, and place our beloved country tm a position fret among the aations of tho earth in power od proeperity, and yet Know that a few wicked, design. fag mer ere determined that shall not be unless the Gor!ing wish of their hearte—placiog a negro on an equali- ty witha white man—t fret accomplished. When we consider ibe number of valuable lives that have been Becrifeed, aud the uBtold misery created in our endeavors te better the condition of the negro, can we come to any other comelusion than that we have been vastly the lovers by the operation? And what must be the result if con- tinued in? More blood spilled, more widows and orphans to core for, an overwhelming debt, and a position farther than ever semoved from an bovest, honorable peace. ‘Wit the constitution as it is, the war ean beended; with- ‘out 11, we mont ret bope for peace. ‘My reasoning in the twe former paragraphs is founded upon conrersations with im@veatial men of this city—men who jonk upon the situaiio: without prejadice, and who, being well posted as Ww the feeling throughout the Bouthern country, can speak acderstandingiy.

They will not be paroled, bowever, as I supposed they would. ‘The Mobile paper of the 9th has an appeal from General Maury to the citizens, asking them to come forwara and enrol themselves for the defence of the city, saying that General Grant may be expected at any moment now that Viexsburg has fallen.

The only information we have from Port Hudeoa is that the steamer Planter has arrived there from 8t. Louis, bringing down over two thousand sacks of grain, and had returved with one regiment of Grierson’s cavairy. She reports the steamers Grand Duke, Moderator and Dicta- tor at Natchez when she paseed. General Andrew has as- sumed command of the Corps d’Afrique and Port Hnd- son, and Colonel Chickering is acting as Provost Marshal of the post, T understand that after Port Hudson fell General Welt zel was the recipient of a most complimentary letter from General Banks, in which he receives much of the credit of the campaign. General Weitzel, although one of the youngest generals in the army, is fully deserving the ad- @itional star in his shoulder strap. He is one of the most ‘accomplished officers in the army, besides being a most energetic and persevering soldier, His brigade adore him. They will follow wherever he will lead, and they have yet to be defeated. Besides all this, General Weit- zel is popular with everybody. He has no enemies, and all would be delighted to see him promoted to the com- mand of & division—a position he is in every way fitted to fill with credit to himeelf and honor to the country. The Ad miral is still here; hie movements may depena upon the future operations of the army, for he will pro- bably act in concert with it. Should Mobile be the point, he will doubtless give Fort Morgan his undivided atten- tion, I have no naval news to report from either East or West, nor is it probable { shall have any for a little while, except a capture now and then of a blockade run- ner; these even are becoming less and less frequent. New Orleans matters have again subsided to their for- ‘mer quiet. Secesh females now make no demonstrations whatever; there is not that display of red, white and red among them that was visible ten days since; and as for the men they are as quiet as lambs. They appear to have for a time given up the idea of a rebel raid upon the city, and are satisfied for the present that Jeff. Davis and. Co. are bebind acloud. The weather continues very ‘warm ; bat, now that. the.sammer is more than half over, we live in hopes of a cool spell coming. The days are be- coming visibly shorter, the nights damp and sometimes chilly. All this looks like fall coming.

Naw Onreans, July 18—8 A. M. I have nothing of importance to communicate since Jast evening, and things look very much as if startling jaformation from this department was about over. I hear that we have a fair prospect of receiving from the neighborhood of Port Hudson and Natchez quite o large quantity ef cotton as soon as transportation can be had to bring it to the city. There are many speculators here who are desivous of going at once into the cotton region, and it is thought our cotton mills at the North would be much benefited if they were permitted to do so and possible facilities for trade given them. Better to do th! than act as we did in the Attakapas country. Brigadier Generals T. W. Sherman and G. F. Shepley Jeave to-morrow for the North on board the steamer Co- lumbia.

His progress was checked by Col. Hall twice; Dut be finally escaped via Cumberland , Guernsey county, which place he left last night. At seven o’clock this morning Morgan crossed the Cen- tral Obto Railroad at Campbell’s, but was so closely pur- sued by Gen.

I have received to-day some news in regard to General Lee’s army which confirms the intelligence contained in my letter of July 21, and serves to develop a little more the designs of the rebel General. General Leo's army is ‘still where I stated it to be in that letter—namely, near ‘Winchester, with outposts towards Snicker’s Gap, Ashby's Gap and Obester’s Gap, in the Blue Ridge. On alrthe three roads leading to these parses in the mountains there are detachments of rebel troops; but even their out- posts do not come this side of the Shenandoab river. As tho army correspondents of the Hxxatp will inform you of the position of General Meade’s army, yeu will seo at once that the opposing forces are in clore proximity again, Indeed, there is nothing between them except the Sbenandoab river and the Blue Ridge Mountains. And yet there will be po battle immediately or for some time to come. Why? BecauseGeneral Le does not wish to fig ht Dow, nor where he is at present, gad it is beyond Gen Meade’s power to bring on an engagement merely by ad” vancing to the spot now occupied by General Lee. If the former should do #0 the latter would immediately re- treat to Staunton and compel General Meade to follow tim there. General e's expedition into Penveylvania has cost bim the loess of thirty thonsand men. But as he took every man of ninety thousand with him, he has still sixty thousand troops—to wit: Stuart's cavalry, eleven thou sand, a» General Gregg ascertained at Shepherdstown, on the 17th, where they constituted Leo’s rear guard, Long: street's corps and Ewell's corps, eighteen thousand each, the Seabenyilte ad Jeans Rallvond, ciceely pureed by and Hil |, fifteen thousand. But these and eigh our forces. tecn troopa at Richmond and Petersburg, and at other points on the peninsula, constitute, oe | have ascertained to-day, all the rebel-troops in Vir- ginta. Inf the confederacy never had #0 few troops in arms as at present. Their recerf lowes at Vicksburg and ort Hudson decimate toeir armies terribly. All the troops they can now muster consist of the thirty thousand at Charleston , under General Beauregard, ten thousand at Mobile; fifteen thousand under Marmaduke and Price; twenty thougand under General Johnston, fleeing before General Grant, fifty thousand ander General Bragg, re treating before General Rosecrans, the ninety thousand n Virginia, mentioned above, and twenty-five thou sand at varioas aan tna in ail only two hundred and forty thousand tro Ths positively all the troops which the Confeaerate government now has in aud all they can probably get for some months, e the fow that will be returned to them in exchange On the other band, it is known at Richmond that the (clon armies pow number over #ix bupdred thousand dis Ciplined treope.
