The area of the pres- ent famine trict is greater, It spreads into two Presidencies and crosses the Deccan, The population affected is far greater.

If the population is greater it is not collected 4m such dense masses ag the famine stricken people of 1874, and we may still hope there 1s pot now such al Solute dearth of food as then.

Only one casualty oecurred and thatat the Arse- nal where a soldier was wounded in the leg by the ac- cidental discharge of bis musket. CONTENTS OF THE ARSENAL. The Arsenal, when captured, contained two Gatling guns, throe brass Napoleons and about 900 stand of smail arms, Of these about 800 were immediately issued to unarmed companies. Two companies are in charge for the night These, with a picket cordon around the State House, which permits anybody to leave but no one to enter, constitute the only force | now on duty, Before the column moved down to the court build- | ings this morning’a detachment of sharpshooters were detarled by General Ogden, who took position upon the roots and galleries of all adjacent houses commanding the position. Tho forces were thoroughly drilled and disciplined and, consisting of the best poople of the community, carried a moral tmprossment eadly demoralizing to the Metropolitan police, ATTITUDE OF THE TROOPS. Throughout the entire proceedings the United States troops remained closoly confined in their quarters, and, beyond cheering the Washington Artillery as it Passed the windows of the Custoth House on tts way to the front, made no demonstration whatover. INTERVIEW WITH AUG Late in the afternoon General Green, Augur’s sta, had an Nicholls, the particulars of which have not yet trans- pired, General Augur, on being visited, reiterated bis often expressed information that his tnstruetions were to keep the peace, and that he Would only interfere in case of it being broken.

The reason that more is known at army headquar- ters herein regard to the matters in New Orleans, | General Sherman says, is becnuse the despatches are sent from General Angur to General Sheridan at Chicago, although General Sheridan ig here at the White House, the guest of the President, with whom he has beon in close conference since his arrival this morning. CONCERN 4MONG POLITICIANS. A great dea! of concern was felt to-day among leading republicans about the condition of affairs in New Or- Jeans, This evening, however, the feeling was quieter. Consuitations were held as to what was to be done tn the contingency of actual violence and an out- break.

A HgRratp corre- spondent, with whom Brent has been acquainted for years, heid along commumeation with him. He is te sorry for the crime committed and has restored all the money procured by his torgery. Concerning England he had a great deal to say, speaking kindly, however, of his general treatmont, ip objected to conversing with reporters who saw him, because, as he aid, 80 much has already appeared in papers the noto- buildings, It was known that the Packard Supreme Court would sitto-day. The new Superior Civil Court had already set, and it was believed by the citizens that if this was peaceably submitted to the question of a de facto government would be decided against them. This they were resolved to combat, and all uay Mon- day Generals Ogden, Penn, Nicholls and othor ad- visers were in earnest consultation, A preventive policy was at first determined upon, but the new mem- bers of the Supreme Court being called in council no decision was arrived at in time for action on Monday, AN AGGRESSIVE POLICY. It was nearly twelve o’clock last night before the Governor and his advisors determined to act upon the vigorous policy recommended by Gonerals Penn and Ogden. At that late hour orders were issued through couriers ordering the different military organizations in the city, amounting to between 2,000 and 3,009 wel, armed men, besides a similar number with sido arms only, to be in position near the temporary state House, opposite Lafayette squaro, by nine A.

The night, though bitterly cold, was an event{ul one, Couriers dashed through the streets, cabs rumbled in every direction, while the rat-tat-tat upon the doors and ringing of bells echoed in every neighborhood, sum- moning the faithful to the fleld. " Scarcely had daylight dawned before groups of men were seen hurrying through the streets in every direction. GATHERING OF THR ConoRTs. By eight o’clock armed parties began to assemble in the neighborhood, but it was not until ten o'clock that the crowd commenceé augmenting by the arrival of organized bodies of citizen soldiers who were in their every-day clothes, and armed with every descrip- ton of weapon from the Winchester down to the sa- | loon nfle, By eleven A.
