Gen. Buffers Famous Order.
The famous order Of Gen. Butler, which
vas supposed to be somewhat Of the charac-
ter OF that Issued by Gen. Rockingham, who
attempted to capture New Orleans during the
var with England, in 1916, by promising his
soldiers tsbeauty and booty" and which
was made use Of by Bcaurcgard to "fre the
Southern hcarts'' Of his law1ess troops, proves
to be quite a different thing from what has
been generally supposed. It has been the
practice in New Orleans, and Gen Butler has
continued it, to lock up In the calab6ose those
shameless females who seeede from virtue
md openly ply their trade. His order means
this, and only this, that females who could so
far depart fyom the dignity and deccncies of
their sex as to spit upon and curse our officers
rs they pass by them, should also be fur
