FROM REBELDosI.

A friend at Washington has forwarded to
us for examination an "enlistment paper
OF the State of Louisiana, and postage
stamp" of the rebel coniederacy, which were
sent from New Orleans to him by his son,
an officer in the United States naval service
The enlistment paper is filled up, and
certities that Samuel Guthrie born in
Belfast, Ireland, aged Is years, and by oc-
cupation IL Finisher," has duly entered the
rebel service to fight for treason against the
land of his adoption. There is not an hon.
est hearted lrishman in Delaware but will
despise and disown this double traitor to
humanity and Liberty. lrishmen above all
other foreigners in this country, know the
value of freedom aud can best appreciate
its blessings and advantages hence, us ;
class they stand firmly united in favor of the
American Union and are willing to die il
defence of the Constitutional privileges ant
rights which it guarantees to all men VIII,
throw themselves under the protecting fold
OF its starry flag, But while they love III,
land that secures to them the blessings o
personal liberty and free government whicl
are tyrannically denied them in their owl
green island-home, they have a natural an,
earnest contempt for those of their coun
trymen who, forgetting the iron heel of DIES
potsm as soon as its weight is remove
from their necks, are willing-under an
pretence-to do battle for the advocates {
oppression and monarchical rule, under III
flag of treason in America.
The postage stamp is rough, coars
thing, having on it the likeness of the arc
traitor Davis. In color like the secessio
cause, it looks exceedingly blue, 1t is abol
the size of our stamps, and represents fil
confederate cents.
Our friend has also seut us private let
ter, written by an officer in the Union ser
vice, to his sister. The writer is attache
to the United States gnnboat Wissahickor

BRoTE MS ARM-Robert MeKaig son Of
Mr.. Isaac McKaig, living al the corner Of
Sixth and Spruce streets, had his arm broken
on Saturday last. One Of the horses of the
team he was driving got fast in the shafts
and in endeavoring to eXtricate it, he was
kicked III the arm by the animal, and it was
in consequence broken. 1t was set by Dr
Porter. a month or so since he had his
other arm broken by falling from the roof
OF his fathers stable. 1t was only that day
the board, in which his other arm was held,
was sent home to DR.. johnson, who had set
it.
ExrLosION.-One day last week. boy,
the son of Professor Loman, manufacturer
of Root Beer in Elkton, narrowly escaped
being seriously injured by the explosion of
Il barrel of said beer, which he was measur-
ing out to thirsty wayiarers, from the side
walk on the Court House yard. The heat
of the day evolving gas in the barrel, caused
an explosion which threw the barrel among
the branches of IL neighboring tree and the
NOy llIO lne street.
RUNAWAY NRGRoEs.-On Monday week,
Mike Harris, a negro man belonging to Mr..
Jacob johnson, formerly proprietor of the
Howard House, Elkton, for term of years,
having an attack of the contraband mania,
decamped. Mike has IA wife in Back street
and he is believed to be still lurking about
town. r. w, Janney is on the look ont for
him.
On the following Tuesday strange negro
was found lounging about Elkton, who said
he belonged TO Judge Price, residing in
Hartford county. The negro being some
what intoxicated, was pretty gabby, and
stated that he had left the Judges horse al
llavre de Grace the day before Mr. Jan
ncy arrested him, and lodged him in Jail.
LOOK OUT FOR THEM Mr.. Henry Fleming
a few days since, ives handed in change
paper which he supposed enclosed twenty
five pennies but on opening it found that
instead OF pennies it ws,s filled with rounC
pieces which had been punched out of iroI
sheets. This fraud may be carried on to
considerable extent, as many business mel
do not take time to eS anime whether th,
papers contain pennies or not.

LETTER FROM TmE COUNTRY

ST. GEORGES, June 3, 1862.
The country wherever go is magnificent
ly grand. The wheat looks we'll and is fast
ripenng to harvest so also are the various
grasses. Oats are looking well as far us |
have been, particularly in and about Della
ware City and st. Georges; and will be
ready for the reaper by the time the wheat
crop is ont of the way. Corn has grown in
the last few days very fast / noticed one
field between Delaware Cityand St. Georges
which ! thought would measure on an aver
age to the tip end of the blade from twelve
to fifteen inches in length. There are seve-
raj Others fields which passed, that were
nearly as good. The late rains and warm
sunshine are doing wonders for the farmers.
The town Of New Castle seems to be doing
something in the way Of building and i'm
proving. noticed several houses going up
and cellars for others are being dug.
Delaware City does not seem to be going
ahead like il used to do. Secesh seems to
have done its accursed work there to per-
iectlon and those wicked sympathizers of
jeff Davis ~ Co., who have sOwn to the
wind are now reaping the whirlwind but
unfortunately the innocent in this, as in
all similar cases, have to suffer with the
guilty. The canal, however is doing very
heavy business this year, partly owing to
the large amount of hay and other govern
ment supplies that are being shipped to
Fortress Monroe, from Philadelphia and
other places, up the Delaware River. A
gentleman informed me that herring have
been very plenty in that vicinity, and the
supposition is that there were from twenty
to twenty-five thousand in the locks at one
time this season. The citizens caught as
many as they seemed to care about, and a
large number were again thrown overheard
st. Georges seems TO be "marehing along.'
Mr.. Joseph Gem is having two large frame
Mr.. Youngman's store. The citizens gone,
rally seem to be busily engaged in theil
daily ayocOtions. The canal here makes
business quite brisk. A large steamer
laden with sick and wounded soldiers hai
just gone into the lock, as close this.

On the publication Of General Buffers order In
relation TO females insulting soldiers, Mayor Mon.
roe addressed to him the following letter.
STATE OF LOUISIANA, MAyoRALTY orr
NEw ORLEANS, May 10, 1862.
Mayor General Benjamin n. Butler, Commanding
United States Forces -
SV--Your general order, No. %, oflate 10th
inst, which reads as f5lOws-(here follows order
Is. respecting ladiesl is of character so ex-
traordinuTy aud astonishing that cannot holding
the office of chief magistrate of this city, charge
able with its pence and dignity, suffer it to be
promulgated in our presence without protesting
against the threat il contains, which hos already
aroused the passions Of our people, and must
exasperate them to degree beyond CONTROL
Your officers and soldiers are permitted, by the
terms of this order, to place any construction
they may pease upon the conduct of our wives
and daughters, and upon such construction, to
offer them atrOcious insults
The peace of the city and the safety of your
officers and soldiers from harm or insult have,
affirm, been successfully secured to an extent en-
abing them to move through our streets almost
unnoliced, according to the understanding and
agreement entered into between yourself and the
city authorities did not however anticipated
war upon women and children, who 30 fur as
am aware have only manifested their dispeasure
at the occupation of their city by tLos0 whom
undertake to be responsible for the peace Of New
Orleans while such an edict, which infuriates our
citizens, remains in force. To give license to
the officers and soldiers Of your command to COM
init outrages such as are indicated in your order
upon deienceess women, is in my judgment o
reproach to the civilization, not to say TO the
Christianity, of the age, in whose name ! make
this protest. l am, srsyour obedient servant,
JoHN T. MONROE, Mayor.
To this disTeapectful letter, General Butler
vouehsafed the following unequivocal answer:

John y. Monroe, late Mayor OF the city Of New
Orleans, is relieve from all responsibility for the
peace of the city, aud is suspended from the ex-
prcse Of any official functions and committed to
Fort Jackson until further orders.
Is +, BUTLER Major Gen. Commanding.
The order brought the Mayor up TO head
quarters in n hurry. General Butler talked to
| him very freely and lectured him severely for
placing such an offensive construction on Order
No. 20, and called his attention to its language,
which expressly declares that thereafter" wo.
men insulting our officers and men shall be held
liable to be treated as women of the town" The
General then told him that he must apologize
and Withdraw his letter which be did, declaring
it to have been sent under mistake Of fact and

eXpostnation, in the earlier stage of this
crisis in our cOuntry's destinies, ere that

fathers love and confided in with Il
fathers confidence, had taken his place
among the fallen angels that expostu-
lation, in which, trusting to the elevation
of that nephew's character, as hitherto
known to him, he protested against all
doubts of has fidelity to the Union
Those suspicious which, conscious of his
own integrity, he deemed to be so unjust,
have alas proved but too well ground
