during the stay of his ship in the Mississippi. He
was there during the governorship of the monster
Butler. The following are some of the more salient
points :
"Once more master of New Orleans, Mr. Butler,
after establishing his troops in positions commitnd-
ing the town, set to work as governor. His first
care was to secure supplies of food—no very hard
duty, as it was sufficient to allow the river steamers
to bring down, under flags of truce, the stores they
could not but be anxious to find purchasers for.
The necessity for feeding his soldiers, moreover,
actuates Mr. Butler quite as much as humanity in
this circumstance. He found in the act, however,
an opportunity for self-glorification which he did
not neglect to avail himself of, and on the 9th of
May, in a pompous order of the day, he expatiated
with self-complacency on the blessings he had con-
ferred even on the rebellious inhabitants of New
Orleans, and, comparing his conduct with that of
the Confederate Government, beeped upon his pre-
decessors epithets which no officer, no gentleman
would have disgraced his pen by writing. Of course,
insults from a man like Butler produced not the
least impression apparently, and he fancied his Pell:
tion safer than he had at first imagined. On the
21st of the same month he again sounded public
opinion. It had come to the knowledge of the com-
mander-in-chief,' he said in a fresh order of the day,
that a pretended proclamation from a so-called Pre-
sident Davis, ordered that Friday, 16th instant, be
observed as a day of prayer and fasting. The pre-
sent order prohibits that proclamation being at-
tended to.' The town still remained calm. Mr.
Butler grew bolder, and launched forth his famous
order, No. 28, according to the terms of which
' every woman (calling herself a lady of New Or-
leans) who insulted an officer or soldier in the ser-
vice of the United States, or evinced her contempt
by word, gesture, or movement, should be treated as
a woman of the town plying her trade.' Such an
order, infamous everywhere, was especially so in
America, where the respect for woman is so great.
I know that an attempt has been made to equivoca-
tion on the word ' woman.' lam aware that the
Northern Press, after having denied the existence of
la proclamation repugnant to every American feel-
ing, has made an attempt to allege that the measure
' Mr. Butler was called to take' was only applicable
to women of low condition. Pettifogging excuses !
gross falsehoods ! The apology deceived nobody.
The Federals brought gold, and the women of a cer-
tain class opened their doors to Mr. Butler's officers
with a cordiality which made still more evident the
eagerness of the ladies to shut theirs. Mr. Butler
knew very well those to whom his order applied ;
moreover, he never denied it—the ladies themselves
knew it. It was in reality the ladies of the best
families whom this man placed at the mercy of any
ruffian among his officers or soldiers who chose to
say that one of them had expressed contempt of
them by a movement or gesture. A few days
later it was a real lady who was em-
braced by a Federal officer in the public
cars, and conveyed into the shop of a neighbour-
ing chemist. The officer had, however, only acted
on the order No. 28, and had, it must be admitted,
not gone so far as Mr. Butler's proclamation sanc-
tioned."

The following is the only other extract regarding
this Federal miscreant for which we can find
room :

" After all, Mr. Butler had won a great victory
—that population which he had first insulted, then
disarmed, he had subjected finally to a crowning
humiliation, by compelling it by sheer terror to take
an oath which was perjury for all that took it.
Nevertheless, all had not submitted to pass beneath
his Candine forks—there remained laurels' for him
to cull : above all, there remained revenge. Those
ladies, lately so proud, who turned aside their head
with such disdain at the aspect of a Federal uniform
or a Federal flag—those ladies who refused to re-
ceive Mrs. Butler—those ladies whom the barbarous
treatment of one of themselves, Mrs. Phillips, had
not intimidated, had so often exasperated him by
the display of delicacy and refinement, which to
him were outrages, he was about to be revenged
upon at last. On Sept. 24 there appeared an order,
of which the following is the substance :
" ' From this date to Oct. 1, all individuals, of
both sexes, above 18 years of age, who have not up
to this time taken the oath of allegiance to the
Government of the Union, are hereby required
to report themselves to one of the provost mar-
shals, and have themselves registered as enemies of
the United States, under pain of fine and impri-
sonment, or hard labour, or the two penalties com-
bined. Those who prefer renouncing their error,
and take the oath of allegiance before the Ist of
October, shall be recommended to the indulgence of
the President.' Thus, with one stroke of the pen,
and by a piece of unheard of extravagance, this man
transferred into citizens every woman and youth
from 18 to 21. The official journal has said, indeed,
that the generous heart of the chivalrous general
would condescend to' draw out the venomous fangs
of women.' The insults and threats of that print
were resumed. Eight days more, and these
proud ladies would be turned out of their luxurious
homes; they would become acquainted with hunger
and distress; they would be allowed to take nothing
with them—neither linen, furniture, nor money.'

go
remained in my body, I should never lay down my
arms.

"Mr. Butler triumphed after all—the ladies of
New Orleans were humbled—his amour proyre was
revenged. Henceforth he resumed his favourite
occupation; he sought out the wealthy and tho
timid, and levied black mail upon them on various
pretexts. What became of the wealth he thus
accumulated ?

" I have said all I meant to ray about New
Orleacs. I have omitted many facts—a volume
would not suffice to enumerate all the several tAro-
cities that marked Mr. Butkr's proconsulship.";

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND.

-- -4-

A Prussian journal contains the following account
of the sanguinary fight between the Rufsisns and
Poles at Przgtullen and Bialiczewen on the 30th
ult..—
" On the morning of March 30 a courier came to Stuczyn
to announce to the Russian n ilitary detachment stationed
there that 1,700 insurgents were assembled about a mile and
a half from the place, and that they intended to make an
attack on them. The Russians, amounting to 800 men,
immediately marched to meet the Poles at Przgtullen, and
attacked them there. The struggle was most severe, and
lasted till noon, up to which time the Russians had been
driven back to the Bialiczewen farm. Here the fighting
ceased. Tho leader of the insurgents, the son of a captain
formerly in the Russian service, rode to the owner of the
farm to obtain some food. The owner of the place and his
wife and daughter were there. Suddenly the daughter
called the attention of the Polish leader to three Cossacks
who were approaching. At the moment when the Cossacks
passed the dwelling-house the Pole opened the window and
shot down one of them and severely wounded another. The
leader believed himself to be secure against more troops.
Suddenly, however, a swarm of Cossacks surrounded the
house, and shot the owner and his wife and daughter,
whilst the insurgent leader mado his escape by the back
door. The rage of the Cossacks was excessive, and they
now began to plunder and murder all who could not escape.
The foreman of a brewery (a Prussian) and four men were
stabbed. In the meantime the insurgents and Russians
reassembled, and the fighting recommenced and continued
till the evening. The Russians and Foles between them
carried off 34 horses and all the cattle, and the farm buildings
were burned. The insurgents obtained the victory, and in
the evening withdrew to the woods."

LEMBERG, April 6.

. _
From private information from Kiew we hear
that three Russian officers have been shot there.
We are further informed that in parts of Russia
proper a great outbreak has taken place, and that
General Rzewuski's division is proceeding, by forced
marohes, from Vol hynia to the interior of Russia.

WARSAW, April 5.

The Grand Duke addressed the Grenadier divi-
sion, which arrived here from St. Petersburg by
rail, in the following words :—" You have been
called here before to suppress the Polish revolution
(the first time in 1831), but I hope this will be the
last time you come here for that purpase, as I now
charge you, my children (rabzata), to -exterminate
the insurrection,

CRACOW, April 6.

Radom has been taken by the insurgents. About
20 Polish prisoners have been liberated by them,
and a detachment of gendarmes stationed in the
town was disarmed ; the Poles have also taken pos-
session of the Government treasury-chest. The
garrison, under the command of General Uszakow,
evacuated the town, and proceeded to Kielce.
A battle has taken place near Olkusz, the parti-
culars of which are not known ; it is said that a
body of Cossacks was completely destroyed in this
battle.

^T
The news of the dispersion of the insurgents,
under Prasmyl and Lelewel, is not correct; they
are still harassing the Russians in the palatinate of
Lublin. There are about 5,000 of the latter in this
district.

" This time the mothers felt what fear was. The
stout-hearted women, who did not shrink from the
horrors of a bombardment, felt their courage give
way at the idea of seeing children perishing with
want. They would have borne everything them-
selves, but did not consider they had the right of
entailing such sufferings on the feeble creatures
whose lives were entrusted to their care. Never-
theless they did not all yield—far from it. Cruel
scenes took place. More than one man had taken
the oath, at which his conscience revolted, to avert
the ruin impending over those dearer to him than
himself. They had devoted themselves for the good
of their families, in many cases, in spite of the ener-
getic remonstrance of their wives and daughters.

The insurrection in the government of Augustow
is increasing. A strong body of Poles near Mary-
ampol has destroyed the railway between Kowno
and Eydkunce. Russian troops have been de-
spatched after them to Marusz from Wierzbolowa.
It is announced that the distinguished insurgent
leader, Roginski, who had several times defeated
General Nostitz in Bialystock, and occupied the
town of Pruzany, has been captured by the Russians
and imprisoned in the citadel of Brzese Litewski.
Whilst telegraphic despatches received here from
Breslau and Rintzie report the disbanding of
several bodies of insurgents, hundreds of young
men have left Cracow today and yesterday, in-
tending to reach the seat of war through Krzes-
zowice. Nothing definite has reached us respecting
the movements of the insurgents, who have found,
it would appear, a safe stronghold in the moun-
tains of Swenty Krzyz. The Russian troops who
have taken up a position on the frontier of Szyce
and Michalowice were withdrawn from the detach-
ments stationed at Michow, Olkusz, Wolbrun, and
Vrielce ; and, from the reports of the country people
who have bad communication with the Russian
military, it would appear that by this disposition,
of the troops the Russians are able to prevent the
arrival of reinforcements for the insurgents, and to
hinder their flight into Austrian territory. Recent
arrivals here from Siomniki mention that the Rus-
sians keep up large camp fires, especially at night-
time, which can be seen at great distances.
There has been more fighting in the northern
part of the kingdom, as appears from the following
bulletin of Cieszkowski

" CAMP NEAR KAMIJK, March 29.
" On the 27th, at ltadoszewice, a village to the
east of Wielun, on the right bank of the Warthe, I
offered battle to 311jor Pisanko, who had under
his command two companies of infantry and a Botta&
of Cossacks. The engagement lasted three hours
and a half. I first dislodged the Russians from
Kielezylowy, and afterwards drove them from
Kzasnia, a village east of Radoszewice, on the road
to Pajerczno, through Szczerzow, into the marshes.
Tbey left 28 dead or, the field, with three anibu-.
lances filled with woL, nded. Our riflemen, led by

THE ADULTERATION OF COTTON IN INDIA.—We
pointed out some time ago that one of the largest
contractors for cotton had been compelled to give up almost
entirely the system of advances, because the honesty of the
people did not afford a sufficient guarantee for the faithful
performance of their contracts, and there was no law to
compel them to do so. Now we have to record the results
which are being produced by the system of cheating and
fraud carried out in the adulteration of cotton. We find
the great merchants all telling the same tale of efforts made
and sad disappointments, owing to the rascality of the
