The first United States mail from New-Orleans, since the capture of that city, and its restoration to National rule, reached us last night, and we give below such extracts from our exchanges as we can find room for this morning. THIRTY-ONE DAYS IN NEW-ORLEANS From the Sunday Delta, June 1. On the 1st day of May the troops of the United States marched into this city and took up quarters in the Custom-house. They passed through streets deserted, the shops and places of business closed, the few persons seen scowling hats at the procession -- not a cheer for the...

New York Democrat Rep. Bowman warned that the lives of 'black and brown people' are 'in the balance if these people come back into power,' in reference to the Republican minority in Congress. And the committee that's currently in the process of unveiling the efforts of Trump and his Republican allies to undermine American democracy, Bowman said it would 'cease to exist.'

FREMONT's HEADQUARTERS, PORT REPUBLIC, Va., June 6, 1862. The army advanced early this morning in line of battle, but finding no enemy proceeded in column through the woods and over the country to Port Republic. Everywhere were evidences of the completeness of yesterday's success. The battle was fought at Cross Keys, and therefore takes that name. The rebel loss was greatly superior to ours. They left their dead and many wounded on the field. Not less than 500 dead were found and many wounded. Two of their guns were left behind, which we captured this morning. Capt. DUNNKA, of Gen....

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, June 11. Advices received at the War Department state that JACKSON'S army attacked Gen. SHIELDS' advance on Monday morning near Port Republic. The conflict is said to have been maintained for four hours by about 2,000 of our men against the main body of Gen. JACKSON's army. The enemy's force became so overwhelming in numbers that our advance was compelled to fall back, which it did in good order until it met the main body of Gen. SHIELDS' command near CONRAD's store. As soon as this was effected the enemy in turn retired. The fighting is said to...

(No. 40.) -- The army left Harrisonburgh at 6 this morning, and at 8 1/2 my advance engaged the rebels about seven miles from that place, near Union Church. The enemy was very advantageously posted in the timber, having chosen his own position, forming a smaller circle than our own, and with his troops formed en masse. It consisted undoubtedly of Jackson's entire force. The battle began with heavy firing at 11 o'clock, and lasted with great obstinacy and violence until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Some skirmishing...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, June 5. The following dispatch was received to-day at the War Department: NEW-BRIDGE, June 5 -- 10:30 A.M. To Hon. E.M. Stanton, Secretary of War: My telegraphic dispatch of June 1, in regard to the battle of Fair Oaks, was incorrectly published in the newspapers. I send with this a correct copy, which I request may be published at once. I am the more anxious about this, since my dispatch, as published, would seem to ignore the services of Gen. SUMNER, which were too valuable and brilliant to be overlooked, both in the difficult passage of the stream...

BATTLE-FIELD, Tuesday, June 3, 1862 All the wounded have been removed to the hospitals and properly cared for by the surgeons in attendance. Many of the wounded rebels, including a Colonel, two Captains, and a large number of privates, were left behind in the old huts and houses, on and in the vicinity of the battle-field. Every rebel I have conversed with, expressed their surprise at the kind treatment they have received at our hands. They say their officers tell them we hang or shoot all prisoners brought in; they say, also, if the people of Richmond only knew the...

BATTLE-FIELD, Monday, June 2, 1862. The rebel army still occupied the camps of CAGEY'S and COUCH's Divisions on Sunday morning, with a strong picket force guarding the road facing SNEAD'S house and the wheat field where our earthworks were thrown up, extending from our extreme left to the railroad, near Fair Oak Station. The distance from the point where our earthworks were located to the edge of the wood could not have been more than four hundred yards. This position the rebels held until day dawned on Sunday morning. To our right, on the other side of the railroad, the...

FIELD OF BATTLE BEFORE RICHMOND, Sunday A.M., June 1, 1862. A battle before Richmond has at last put to the test the rebel boast as to what they would do with Gen. McCLELLAN's army when they should get it beyond the protection of the gunboats. Though the advantage of a sudden movement, against the weakest point in our lines, gave the enemy a temporary success, the final result has not been such as to afford encouragement to their disheartened and demoralized troops, or occasion any fears as to our ultimate possession of the rebel capital. The attack commenced shortly before...
