The New Orleans Collector

Mr. Lathrop recently appointed Collector of Customs at the Port of New Orleans, did not, as erroneously stated leave that city on the breaking out of the rebellion, but some years before and has since that time resided in Philadelphia.

He had been in New Orleans since 1838 engaged in mercantile pursuits and was well known for his energy and ability.
