FROM NEW ORLEANS.
TKiRTY-oNE DAYS IN NEW ORLEANS,


New Orleans papers up to and including
June 1st have been received. They do not
contain much news:
CON. FARRAGCT.
There are ten thousand persons In this city
certainly an immense croTd-who believe
that Com. Farrugnt is now in prison in the
Jail Il jackson. They also believe that Mr,
Soulc is held as hostage for the safety of the
MaSd hero. What do you thlok Of these be-
Is it any use to tell these foolish people that
Commodore Farrlgut Is now on board his no.
Bile flagship In this har5or, that We say him
yesterday, talked with him. and feiicitated him
upon the glory Of bis achievements in the
Mississippi River! We advise our neighbors
On the other side Of Canal street to read the

Whlth have guided them upon the rocks, from
which Gen. Butler is endeayoring to rescue

GENERAL sHEPLEY'5 APPEAL.
From the Picayune, May al
We do rot see how this appeal can fall Of
being met with equal good faith With that in
which it seems to be made by the military
commaadant Of the city. For peace, order
and morality, safety to life, liberty and
property Ender the law are objects which it
behooyes every good citizen to do his best aud
his utmost to SECURE and to perpetuate, not
only FOR his own individual good, but in ac-
cordance with q sacred duty which he owes to
his family and to the community Of which he
is member, and to which he owes oollga-
tons that are paramount to all Others. Grant
that the situation in which he is placed--mak-
ing the substitution Of military for civil
municipal government q matter not OF his
own choice, but OF present necessity-is not
agreeable to him, it still absolves him Of none
Of rLose Duties In fnet, it may be said to en-
dow them with even greater importance md
significance than they before possessed
FOOLISH BANKITES.

is the purpose Of the authority now dominant
here to put some pertinent interrogatories tt
their directions, and to require to the sans
categorical replies. We say We do not youct
for this; it may, or may Eot, be an idle ru
questions, or inquiries Of like Significance
will be propoundel to them, viz:

These queries, 1t is said, will be addrasse

and in advance we predict if they arc th=y wi

the most searching investigation.
