Flail we been turneil Into Hades our sentiments regarding the-place couli not have been more ex- tiaordinarj- than there. On the other hand the rebels were as much astoti isheil v we. Many of them Itatl never seen a Yankee before, and their blear* lug, uncertain t ui'tosity would entirely put to shame ilie original Rip Van Winkle. Besides this class (aud they numbered thousand*) there were hun­ dreds of confederate sol die ri In the city, generally unarmed, but many wearing knives aud revolvers. The majority of these were sneaks and cowards who had deserted tlieir flag, yet made day aud uight hideous, by their groaus, hisses, aud curses against the Union. As might be evpected many thrilling scenes occurred, and for H few; days riot, murder, Hre. the lash ftlld ill® iwarJ. WAMd an I at oil lu« •I:MI it? awful roconl of bloody deeds. Xot only was tliu the case under the dark cloak of midnight, but lu the full blaze of the nooudav sun men and women'were shot down, even on the princely St. I?hnrlc8 street and almost at the threthhold of that great hotel (the St. Charles) at tlmt tloie the headquarters of Gen. Butler. On the night of May 1st there was a detachment ot the 9lh Conn. (Irish regiment) stationed near the Poydras market with a section of artillery. During the night some of the guards collided witli the mob and three sol' diers were kllle I, one cut ill pieces. The soldiers were infuriated, and des­ pite the most determined efforts of their officers a part of the detachment "broke loose' and wreaKed a terrible veugcance upon the roughs for mis. deeds of a* maddened and wretched nlsrht. However, by the Stli day. Gen. Butler had a sure and complete grip o:)^ the city, and order and law began to come forth from thatcitldro.iof iniquity and slum pit of sin. Might pai.rols covered the 'city every hour, and al though death tvas always neai. and good men and women gave up their lives a costly sacrifice for tlie glutinous sins of a second Sodom; vet law, backed by the sword, triumphed, aud crime wasMirvly and swiftly punished. On the (fth of May, 1862, my regiment pitched their tents In Aiiunciation Square, and styled this camp "Camp Mosewood," In honor of a noble ai^d patriotic lady of tliat name who had presented us with a beautiful silk flag at Pittsfleld, Mass. By this time there was about 4,000 Union infantry, two. batteries of light artillery aud one company of cavalry in New Orleans. Our soldierly dn;ies here demantl*4 more conservative, deliberate, yet ex­ act aud heroic manhood than U did later to charge to the mouth of belch* lug cannon, double-quicking over the hard paveuieuts, dispersing mobs, gathering aud finding the starving poor, arresting murderers, thieves and confederates, ferreting out and capitir­ ing secreted nrmc, and responding at all hours of night (with almost vlectric vim) to the drum beating to arms, but feebly tells of a task w^U done. The drum head court martial was by no means a meaningless court. The plea of transgressors was, that tk»y did not know Butler's orders. T« remedy tUts and give uni/ershl fair play, Geu^ But­ ler at once took possession of a print­ ing office and made rea»>v to issue a daily paper. 1 well reiaeniher an evening when the &lst Mass. was oa dress parade. Geiu Butler stepped t* the front of Co. [> aud inquired if any man in that compauv cou,h> run a news­ paper. Such as thought they COMIII. might step two paces io the front. Thereupon six privates res polled. He also wanted a machinist--one who could if necessury build acreaiu engine Tills call wa« make on Co. H; men from the near vicinity of the great car shops ot Chicopee and Springfield, Nearly ene-iourth ot thafc company stepped .out. li wejik bul aiutpU' justice to n good comidahdtt to state, that very few papers In our country were con* ducted with greatef ability than was Butler's newsy sheet, a copy of which was left each day at the front door of e«®j*y residence In the city, ft Was abl», clean, logical, fair, while for a time the royal type of Johnny glean­ ings appeared on Wall paper.'and the quality of the paper Itself was a fair meaMtrment of Its printed contents, the revolution from ext«eMely bad to fairly good was swift, sore, and pro* gresslve. Poor laborers fonnd steady employment, and went Well worthy of their hlfe, , I remember weH (and always Will) another evenlng*vhen Bntier callctl on our colonel and asked for a detail of SO men. three from each company, for hazardous and special duty. The de tail was made at once, the writer with the number, Butler designated Lieut. Kendrick. late of Lowell, to command the squad. It was 10 p. m, when we marchcd ont of camp, first to old Levee street, then countermarched and swung into St Charles street. After a livelj exercise we brought np en Canal street and took possession of Canal hank. This bank, it was reported, held In its vaults nearly §300.0001n gold and silver plated wares and species, mostly the property of the stale and the confeder­ al* government.- Twenty-seven sol­ diers were stationed outside andithrea inside the bank. A great crowd of people hastily collected In the streets, and one of their leading men demanded of Kendrick that he draw off Ills men aud get away from the'bank at once or the citizens In their great wmtli would surely kill every soldier. Our com­ mander promptly arrested the rebel leader and gave the crowd teu minutes to disperse to their homes. This cool demand was answered by a deathly groau. Citlsens cast oil their coats and hats, aud brandished bowle knives. Kendrick held his watch and his revol­ ver in his left hand, his sword In Ills right hand, and perhaps a minute be­ fore the time was up he directed his soldiers to cock their rifles then nimbly stepping to the center of his Hue he commanded:steady onys,ready. There was flre in Kendrick** eye, and ills men were ready for the fray, (rfo fighting was necessary). The way that crowd doubled back for cover cannot be told. Ths UnlonjatS heM thate-grlp on the bank, a:<J tntSe sin&f! nfimra of morn­ ing the treasure was haaled away and placed on an ocean steamer in the river. From this matter of duty and fact sprung that diabolical hue and cry: "Butte's silver spoons.** than which a more damnable prostitution of reason and logical truth ever blackened the politics or literature of (lie country. For shame! oh noisy babes, who lu the early sixties fought by proxy. (Shoofly) Make room for better men. Early In May a system of sanitary arrangements was Inaugurated and ea- forced with scrupulous exaotness. The *chool system was reorganised, or rather, a school system was created something on the New England plan, in which the color line was set as'de. The principle teachers were from the North. One of the most successful of' these was a Miss Cogswell, of New Hampshire, (a sister of Mrs. Samuel W. Brown, of Hebron. 111.) Hers was a tedious experience, but success crowned the gallaut efforts of the plucky Yau- kee school inarm. Little children by hundreds atone time lor several days In succession, flocked and swarmed about the Union camp waving miniature rabel tags ant? singing rebel songs. These children were from 4 to ft years old. Butler's decree went forth thai such children should be taken Into ewstedy. As a natural consequence parents and guard­ ians called foe thefcr ttttle ones, when I hey In turn weVe arrested and the children set fcee. One liellisli schome was for women to insult the soldiers everywhere, hg word and deed. This prawtice beeanie extremely trying and exasperating to the last degree. In one iiikfttauze a captain of Co. H. and Lieutenant Fordham ot Co. A, 3)tt Mass., when walking arm in arm aloug St. Charles street were politely acoosted by two elegantly dressed ladles who, at the Instant the officers halted, spit in their faces- and wttliuut saying a word passed afong. In a vary few days equally outrageous performances could be counted by hundreds. Geu Balkr then issued Ills famous WOUAII ortler. and the difficulty ended.

A decree went forth that Britons must respect our military code. That same night the consul, in attempting to force his way by a guard, was killed. In a general srdtr the peo­ ple were notified that all who would not take the oath of allegianue un^t forthwith register tliexuselve* as ***» uiies to the United Htmea.
