Collecting Black Mail.
--A young man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was recently called upon to visit New Orleans, La., on pressing business.
He had hardly taken up his quarters at a hotel, when some swindler, who had seen the visitor's address upon the hotel book, called upon him, and represented himself as a member of a "Vigilance Committee," and succeeded by threats in inducing the young man to pay him $50 as black mail.
The stranger made known the circumstances to the Mayor, who instantly took the necessary steps for the arrest of the swindler.

The Oregon and the New London
--A Gallant Affair.--Capt. Myers, of the Oregon, had been sent by Gen. Lovoll to bring away a powder mill from Hansboro,' Miss., and was on his way with it, when the gallant little affair took place, for the use of the Captain's report of which (says the N. O. Picayune) we are indebted to the courtesy of Gen. Lovell:
C.S.Gunboat Oregon, Dec. 3, 1861. Major-Gen. Lovoll, Commanding Department No. F, New Orleans, La. General:
Whilst lying at Harrison's wharf, Mississippi City, about 10 o'clock P.M. yesterday, the C.S. gun-boat Pamlico, Captain Dozier commanding, ran in and notified me that the enemy were approaching, and to prepare for an attack.
The weather was so hazy that a vessel could hardly be distinguished at five miles distance.
Some of my men being ashore taking in water, I was delayed 15 minutes, thus permitting the enemy to approach to within four miles of the wharf before I could get under weigh.

The Kighth of January in New-Orleans. New Orleans, Jan. 9.
--The " Eighth of January " was celebrated in this city on yesterday in an appropriate manner.
The occasion was a State holiday, commemorative of the valor of our forefathers, but not celebrated in exultation over the defeat of Great Britain on that memorable day. Among other demonstrations was a grand military review by Generals Lovell, Ruggles, and Lewis, and also General Jeff. Thompson, of Missouri, who is a great favorite in this city.
