Blve Times in New Orleans.?A Yankee
' letter from New. Orleans says :
The business world of New Orleans is very
bine. Long faces predominate. -The worm has
destroyed ^hc cotton crop almost^eritirely ; and
merchants who' last winter gave irarnenso parties,
ditiners, &c,, supposing that by tliis time
they should count their w&lth by hundreds of
thousands, arc uow calculating how tbey can
save their picayunes hnd meet their expanses.
Thi6 winter promises to DC very aitiercnt irom
the last.
The same correspondent describes the effect
of the news of the fall of Atlanta in New Orleans.
Of coarse there was'great rejoicing; but
after detailing all the glorification, this correspondent
adds; "
The Confederates are still in good spirits; indeed
they are the most hopeful class of people
in the world.#
New Military Department.?It is rumored,
says the Montgomery Mail, that a new military
district-is about to be. established, to> b.e
called the Department of the Tennessee. It is '
to embrace all the territory North df the Tennessee
River, at id extending through Kentucky
by the left to the mouth of that stream, and
into JEast Tennessee on the right as for as Cumberland
Gap. Gen. forrest, the rumor lias it,
j 'will be made Lieutenant General and placed in
command ot tius new department, with authority
to* raise as farge a force as possible and to .
' operate against the enemy at discretion. (

From tiie abovo samples, taken almost at random
from a multitude of Yankee official orders, some idea
may be formed of how desirable a thing it is to live under
Jrank4t rule, as exercised in so much of the South
as has been overrun and held by their armies.
Statistics op Car,vagf..?A writer in- the
Jefferson County, Neyj York' Union has made
some calculations relative to the number of
men killed thus far in,this 'wfcr, and gives the
following results. . , .
Enough have been already slain to encircle
our ptate it tueir dead bocftes were Jaiu in one
continuous line.
Xf they were placed in coffins and corded,
they would conntoC^OOO cords.
If laid in a wall twenty-five feet thick and

If piled upon a ten acre lot, they would he

arrested, we learn* at Albany, Ga., a day or two

country where he is not known.. It js indeed M
a-serious difficulty, and vVe doubt not it is owing
in a groat'measure to the misguided effec-!

Buying Flour.?It is'about as difficult a
job to buy -'good flour as to bay a good horse.
Let us tell.you how tb goto work with it.
First, look at color; if it is white, with a
sljghtly yellowish or straw-colorcd tint, buy it.
If it is very white, with a bluish enst, or with
black specks in it, refuse it. Second, examine
the adhesiveness, wet and knead a little of it
between your fingers: if it works soft and is
Btickly. it is poor. Flour from spfing wheat
is likely to be stickly. Third, throw a lump
of dry four against. a dry, smooth, pcrpcndic-1
alar surface; it it falls like powder,^t is.bad.? [
Fourth, sqheeze some of the flour in your hand;
if it retained the shape'given by the- pressure, !
ibis too is a in^|] sign. Flour that will stand j
