the booming of the heavy mortars and siege guns, which our scouts report to be coming from the river and mounted. A shell thrown every three or four minutes from a dozen or twenty guns for three or four days in succession, has a demoralizing tendency generally. To say the least, it exhausts men with the excitement of watching for the flefy messengers, and watching for the next one to strike.

Halleck is too wily to trust his forces to the open field, and run the chances of an utter rout. A side from this , our men are perfectly indignant at the order of Butler, which, as I telegraphed you, had been republished as a general order by Beauregard, and, animated by the thought of outraged women, will "fight to the death." Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, yesterday delivered a stirring address to about five thousand, on the subject of the infamous order, and the feeling he aroused was intens
