A most beautiful day. Have been studying "Army Officer's Pocket Companion" and learned considerable, I trust. There is some firing in the direction of Yorktown this morning.
Evening.
New reach us from Gen. McClellan's headquarters of the fall of New Orleans. So we are all jubilant tonight.
Halleck is superintending affairs in person at Pittsburg Landing. Mitchell is yet persevering in his efforts and will met the enemy yet. The Rebellion is truly on its last legs.
