The Situation at New Orleans—A Talk With President Grant.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—The President is in constant telegraphic communication with General Emory, and is kept thoroughly posted regarding the status of affairs in New Orleans. The latest telegram received reached the President at ten o'clock to-night. The General says: "Things look warlike, but the Warmouth troops are ably commanded by General Longstreet, and are thoroughly armed and prepared." No appeal has yet been made to General Emory for assistance, from either party.
The President stated to-night in conversation with the writer of this dispatch, that he saw nothing in the advices from New Orleans which have reached him up this hour, to justify him in changing his views as expressed in the letter of Attorney General Williams, addressed to Gov. Warmoth Jan. 15th, and consequently no orders have been issued to General Emory.
