Take it altogether the news is encouraging. People are true to our cause and hopeful, while the Federals are sick of the war. The late defeat of Banks had caused a deep feeling of despondency.

Six thousand negroes have been sent from Rhode Island, and arrived at New Orleans a few weeks since; six hundred were sent to Plaquemine, the remainder at the former city.
