Sergeant (search for this): article 2
The capture of the New Orleans Barracks. The "capture" of the U. S. barracks at New Orleans, by a company of State troops, is thus described by the Delta: On arriving at the place, the men marching without uniform or any arms whatever, they found in command an Orderly Sergeant of the United States Army, who, upon being informed of the nature of the demand upon him, very gracefully invited our men to walk in and make themselves perfectly at home, proffering any assistance in his power in the way of showing the officers over the grounds and buildings, &c. He did not deem it necessary to leave the place in consequence of the new state of affairs, but remained as before, with all but his actual authority. Yesterday he made an inventory of everything of any value on the premises, and formally surrendered them to the State of Louisiana, gravely stating that it would be mere folly in him to offer resistance "when the garrison was outnumbered more than one hundred to one."

Yesterday he made an inventory of everything of any value on the premises, and formally surrendered them to the State of Louisiana, gravely stating that it would be mere folly in him to offer resistance "when the garrison was outnumbered more than one hundred to one." We believe that no one will doubt the sagacity of his conclusion. The troops had received their undress uniform, under-clothing and shoes yesterday, but had no caps as yet; and when drawn up in a line, there was a motley array of silk hats, slouched tiles and glazed caps, all of which will soon be replaced by graceful Zouave cap. of navy-blue clo

The upper inclosure is the Barracks. In front is the parade ground, a fine level sward. Four two-story frame buildings, their gables covering each other and forming a quadrilateral, are the barrack buildings. They were in a wretched state of ruin and neglect, two of them sunk in and ready to fall down at the first fresh breeze apparently. Two other buildings of the same kind are the mess rooms. The State troops have been hard at work, putting things to right and scouring out Uncle Sam's neglected barracks, and we think it would be only fair if our State sends in a bill for these services to the Government of the Northern Republic. The inventory of articles surrendered, furnished by the United States Ordnance Sergeant, includes two 12-pounder howitzers and six 6 pounders, suitable for field service. These, with about eight old flint-lock muskets, are about all the munitions of war on hand there. We suppose the arms for this company will be sent down to them to-day.

Financial condition of South Carolina. A Legislative Committee to whom was referred the subject of raising supplies for the present fiscal year, report a deficiency of $1647, 496, to raise which sum they have submitted a bill of taxation which will produce, it is estimated, $1,724,000. Among the items of taxation are as follows: Upon every one hundred dollars of the value of all lands an ad valorem tax of $2; on all slaves a tax of $1.66 per head; $3.25 on each free negro, mulatto or mestizo, between the ages of fifteen and fifty years, except such as are incapable of procuring a livelihood; twenty-seven cents ad valorem on every one hundred dollars on all lots, lands and buildings within any city, town or village; one hundred cents per $100 on factorage, and all professions, and employments, excepting clergymen and mechanics, the same on commissions received by vendue masters, &c., forty-five cents per $100 on capital stock, of all incorporated gas companies, and one and a half

C., Jan, 13, 1861. Sir --I thank you for the complimentary terms in which you were pleased to communicate the resolution unanimously adopted at a meeting of the citizens of all political parties, held in the hall of the Board of Trade, in your city, on Thursday, January 3, 1861. Such an endorsement, from such a source, is a compliment which I feel most deeply — a compliment, I know, not lightly bestowed, and therefore more highly to be prized. Would that I could express to each of my fellow-country

n that an insolent demand for the immediate surrender of Fort Sumter could not meet their approval, and that if Maj. Anderson remained there provisions must be furnished him, and his letters must not be subjected to espionage. In the opinion of one of these gentlemen, this remonstrance will have its effect. Certain it is, that the authorities of Charleston were notified to supply provisions, &c., and that they have telegraphed back that the desirable courtesies would be extended. Mr. Holt's letter to Gov. Pickens, threatening to stop the mails if Major Anderson was not allowed free access to his correspondence, and the urgent suggestion of Messrs. Davis, Hunter, and others, that the surveillance should be removed by which he has been prevented from procuring supplies, have had the desired effect. Information to-day states that he has all the expected privileges. The following letter from Major Anderson, in reply to one addressed to him by C. G. Childs, communicating to

are several companies from Alabama and Mississippi, in Mobile, which are expected to arrive by steamer to-day, at the Perdido river; from thence they will march to Fort Barrancas.--Lieut. Slimmer, who holds Fort Pickens, spiked all the guns in Fort Barrancas, before deserting it, and concealed the locks, elevating screws, &c., but all the guns except 12 have been unspiked, and they will be in order in a day or two. Yesterday morning a salute was fired at Warrington Navy-Yard, by order of Col. Chase, in honor of the new flag. We hardly think there will be fighting — not immediately, at any rate. Fort Pickens may be reinforced by vessels-of-war, and when that is done, many men will be needed on this side of the harbor. Business is almost stagnant in Pensacola.--Everything is deranged. Sunday night, Lt. Prime, of the U. S. Navy, was arrested in this city on his way to the yard, and is now on his parole. A bearer of dispatches from Commander Armstrong, from Washington, was arres
