From New Orleans.

Pascagoula, Oct. 23.
--The truce steamer St. Charles and schooner McGuire, with New Orleans papers, arrived to-day. Gen. Banks was at the wedding of Judge Atsch in New Orleans on the 19th. The True Delta, of the 20th, says advices from Havana represent that fears are felt of an insurrection of free negroes, owing to the reduction of the army in Cuba to reinforce the Spanish troops in San Domingo.

If Rosecrans has been reinforced, as reported, he will probably fall back to his old camp at Tullahoma, and re-establish the morale of his army. If succeeded by Grant, as reported, offensive movements may be ordered at once.

The Picayune, quoting a St. Louis telegram of the 9th, says: "The Confederates in Arkansas have concentrated, and are threatening Fort Scott on the borders of the Indian territory, and the ill-fortune attending Gen. Blunt's attempt to keep them at bay cannot fail to inspire uneasiness as to the ultimate result.

The Era says the yacht Corphese and steamer Commodore arrived at Bay St. Louis from Fort Pike on the 16th, with one company of soldiers, and destroyed a tannery. For want of transportation the hides could not be brought away. A company of rebel cavalry fled on the approach of the gunboats.

Two dozen copies of the Caucasian had been seized in New Orleans, its circulation being prohibited.
