Richmond was a very reasonable place for placing the Confederate capital during the war.  Post war, Chatanooga, TN or Waterloo, AL would have been a good place to place it, had the Confedacy been a success.

New Orleans fell in April 1862, but if it had been the capital it is reasonable to assume that it would have been better protected.  Whether it would have been enough to keep Farragut's sloops out of the Lower Mississippi is anyone's guess.
