GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 162, ADJUTANT AND INSPECTOR GENRRAL’S Ovni R, Ricumonp, Nov. 24, 1863, 1, Acourt of ry having been convened at Jack- non, Mine., by | “Orders No. 41, from this office, dal by Special Orders No. ved February 18, 1863, sneaced 43, of February 20, 1863, to examine and report the facts and circumstanoes attending the capture ef the city of New Orleans by the enemy, jn April, 1862, and the de- fence of the city by the Confederate troops under com- mand of Major Genera) Mansfeld Lovell, together with their opinion thereon; and the court having Corer vd the duty assigned them, their opinion is published the benefit of all whom it may concern:— OPINION OF THE COURT. The Court, ‘having maturely considered the evidence adduced, submit the following opinion: — 1. As againat @ land attack by any force the cocmy could probably bring, the interior live of fortifications, as and com] i il Lovell, was a lent defence of the city of New Orleans; but his ability to bold that line ae such an attack was ly impaired by the withdrawal from him, by cupe- rior authority, of nearly all bis effective troops. 2. The exterior line, as avd improved by him, was well devised, and réndered as strong as the moans at ‘bis command allowed. 3. Until the-iron clad gunboats Louistana and Missis- sippi should be ready for servico, it was sably necessary to obetruct tho navigation of the Misaissippi river between Forts Jackson and St. Phillip. The raft completed under General Lovell’s direction, was adequate for the purpose while in position; but it was swept away, and left the river unimpeded, either reason of some error in its construction, or neglect in preventing the accumulation of drift, or because of insuperable me. chanical difficulties, as to’ which this Court feels unpre. pared to give an opinion. General Lovell communicated to the government no opinion as to the insecurity.of the raft, ner any apprehension that it might be swept away, nor did he immediately make known. the fact when it Somat In this it is considered shat he was remiss in juty. 4. Wi the raft was swept away, General Lovell, witb great energy, immediately endeavored to replace it, and partially succeeded; but without fault on his part, this last obstruction was the nens of vessels of the ‘river defence fleet’? colliding with it, and by fire rafte drifting against it, and by tho failure of the os boats to protect jt against night expeditions of tho emy. 5. The non-completion of the iron-clad gnaboats Louisi- ana and Mississippi made it impossible for the navy to co-operate efficiently with Gen. Lovell. ~ 6. The go called river defence fleet was wholly useless a8 a means of resistance to the enemy, for which Gep. Lovell was in no wise responsible. 7. Under existing circumstances, the passage of the forts by the enemy’s fleet could not have been prevented by General Lovell with any means under his control; and the forts being passed, tho fall of New Orleans was inevi- table, and its evacuation a military necessity. 8. When the first raft was broken, and the d: r of Now Orleans thus became !mminent, all necessary propar. ation should have been made for removing the pub- lic property and private pi y available for military uses; and when the eecond obstruction was swept away the removal of such property shoula have been com- menced immediately. The failure to take these timely stops caused the Josses of property that occurred: but tbere was comparatively little property lost for which General Lovell v as responsible. 9. The failure of Genera} Lovelleto give proper orders to Brigadier Genoral M. L. Smith for the retirement of his command from Chalmette is not sufficiently explained, and js, therefore, regarded as a serious error. @ proposition of General Lovell to return to New Orleans with his command was not demanded by his duty as a soldier, involving as it did the ureless sacrifice ‘of himself and his troops, though it ¢*paias itself upon the und of sympathy for the population, and a natural sensitivencss to their reproaches. 11, Generhl Lovell displayed ee evergy and an un- and tiring industry in , pactoesnins: duties. “His conduct ‘was marked by al) ‘coolness circumstances i 1e, aud that its session was protracted fine tic Paras fr ‘the Pine War De. 0 ‘tment ag to the luc Bepartmeat No. 1, useless and irrelev: - —— (dered by the court iw determive .

[From the Richmond Enquirer, Dec. 4.) The Yankee ofcers confined in the Libby jicison have, ‘on several occasions lately, made unsuccessful attempts to escape from that institotion. The desire to escape seems to have grown with them since the suecessful evacuation of tho premises by Captain Anderson and Lieutenant Skelton, heretofore noticed, and which was produced by bribing the sentinel on duty at the time. On Friday evening a sentinel on duty in the rear of the Libby prison was sounded by two officers on the subject of an escape, which they wished (0 effect at balf-past three o’cleck that night. Re agreed to their pro- posals;they promising to give him an bupdred dojlar greenback and two watches for his services, Major Turner, deing notified of tbe aflair, directed the sentinel! to let the parties cecape and receive the bonus for so doing, and that be would take care they did not} get very far of, Ac- cordingly at haif-past three o’clock, a Fear window of the middlo tenement of the Libby establishment was raised, a blanket rope extended to the ground, and two men descended. Hastily appproaching the sentinel, they’ handed him the greevback and two silver watches, and were making remarkably good time when they were bailed by Lieutenant LaToache, and co mwanded to stop. Thie accelerated their speed in the direction of Rockeus, but they had not gone very far when the guard, who bad bean posted, closed ardund the fngatious Yankees. and their capture was complete. Op the approach of Lieutevant LaTovche, he recognized the notorious Colonel A‘). Streight abd bis Adjutant, Lieut. Reed. They were einducted back to the Libby, furnished with substantial irons, and put in the dungeon of the prison, where they ‘were, ai Inet account, “chowing the cud of sweet and bit ter fancies.”” The Yankee officers had, previous to the attempt of Streight, determined to celebrate Christinns night by a grand mirica! entertainment, Whether their purpose will be elected by Straight’s® proceeding, re maips to be seen.
