PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT BONDS.
The motion Of Mr.. Stevens, made on Friday, rel
alive to the payment Of interest in coin, was to
correct the House journal, and did not, it is said
affect the bill which had already passed the
House, and been sent to the Senate. The bill as
passed, made no special provision for the payment
Of interest but left 1t to be paid In coin hereto
fore. To remove all doubt the Senate will prob
ably provide expressly for such payment.

The FRENCH COURT PRESENTATION q URsTIoS.
The French court presentation question, recently
sgitated In fashionable circles and In the newspa-
pers, is viewed in Washington as a matter I'M
worthy Of serious consideration, and certainly
possessing no political significance. The request
that the quality OF the Americans DESTROYS OF be-
ing presented to the Emperor should be stated
was In accordance with the usage Of the Imperial
household, and Is not, as a consequence, a new
feature In court etiquette

Yankee Rule I'm New Orleans-How
the Ladies' are Treated.

sAAC AbOtcD are treated.
The Mobile Advertiser contains the state
ments offs lady just from New Orleans, which
confirm other accounts, and the teuor of But
iers orders, to the effect that the conquerors
are making the unhappy citizens feel the iron
heel OF his power. Every day the Military sur
veillance becomes more rigid, and the regula-
tions more stringent. Butler, as the most in
famous OF his ordeas indicates, is levying fierce
warfare upon the ladies. They grievously Of
Tended his Yankee highncss by wearing as
trimmings of their bonnets, &C., sembIances of
the Confederate flag, and the Southern colors,
red and white. Picayune ordered them to
indulge no more in such demonstrations of
rebelious sentiment, under penalty of condign
punishment. Mrs. ]. B. Walton the lovely and
accomplished lady of COL ]. B. Walton, of the
Washington Artillery, is now in close confine-
ment, because she refused TO remove the little
flag which formed part of the trimming of her
bonnet. 1t is thus that the valorous Picayune
avenges SO much of the route at Bull Run AS
was due to the we'll served guns of the Wash
ington Artillery. Persons were being arrested
and consigned to dungeons at the whim of the
Yankee despot. Fifty thousand men had been
landed in the city, and we're quartered with
in and about it, and garrisoning the works of
the coast, lakes and rivers. A great deal of
sickness, and of very fatal type, was prevailing
among the unaccimated Yankees OF New
England, and seventy dead invaders were car
ried out from one hospital and buried in
single night. Large numbers of buildings are
being converted into hospitals for the accom-
mediation of the great number of sick, who, if
they do not die. from actual disease, probably
do from fear, their imaginations being tormen-
ted with terrible visions of Yellow Jack. 1t
was common talk among the Yankee officers
that Mobile would soon be attacked, and thew
said that the city would be shelled without
hesitation if any resistance was made after their
gunboats were in range. When the lady ap-
piled to the Yankee Provost Marshcl she ten.
dered Confederate note in payment of the
fee exacted. The official took it and hurled it
violently back into her face. Obtaining other
money, she paid the amount.

The Badge of Honor.

In the following orders, general Beauregard
announces that hereafter the merits and gal
lantry of those true heros of the war-the pri.
vate soldiers of the Southern army-are to be
recognized and recorded:
HEADQUARTERS WESTERN DEPARTMENT.
Corinth, Miss, May ls, 1862. {
General Orders No. 43.
|. To do full justice to the private soldier,
who is seldom accorded his need of praise, and
who rarely receives full credit for his gallant
deeds; and to place him, in this respect, more
nearly on an equality with the commissioned
officer, the Commander Of the forces has de-
termined to distribute badge Of merit in per-
son, in presence Of the troops, to every officer,
and every private soldier, who shall greatly
distinguish himself in any engagement with
the enemy.
III. The badge will have inscribed on it
the rsme of the battle in which it was won.
During war it will be proud testimonial of
the wearer's heroism, and will place his name
upon the list of those entitled to promotion in
the army; and when the invader is driven back
and our independence secured, it will glorious
ly prove his title to his countrymen, and to
