The Exiled from New Orleans.

--The New Orleans Picayune, of the 17th inst., pays the following gentle compliment to those who have been driven from their homes by the brutal orders of those who now ford it over the people of New Orleans:

‘ The present week has witnessed the departure from their old homes of many whose faith in the Confederacy could not be shaken by the power or softened by the clemency of the old Government. Others will go this week. Painful separations have taken place. Old social and family ties have been rent asunder. Men who formerly luxuriated in wealth have departed in poverty. Strange are the changes — terrible the consequences produced by civil war.
