From New Orleans.

The weather has been cool mornings
and evenings, and very hot at midday.
Gen. Butler has issued the following or
der relative to sanitary matters;
"In order to allay the hopes of the
bad and the fears of the good and timid,
the Commanding General gives notice
that the strictest health regulations have
been established since the capture of the
forts, at the Quarantine Grounds, a
eainst the importation of all epldemlcs.
On the 28th ult. he following order
was announced:
thereafter, until hrther notice, the
bakers are bound to give 20 ounces for
twenty cents, IA ounces for dime and
7 ounces for picayme. And purchas-
ers of bread who are asked higher
price are enjoined BY Gen. Shepley to
expose the attempt tC overreach them' in
defiance of the order
The following orhr has been issued
by Gen. Butler:
at appearing that the New Orleans
Crescent. a newspaper published in this
CITY, is owned md edited By 0. Nixon,
a rebel now il arms against the govern
ment of the United States, the Com
manding General of this Department
orders that the publication of that news
paper be suppressed, and that no publ
cation, by pamphlet, handful, or other
wise, in any form whatever, shall be made
from said Office after the PRONUNCIATION of
this order"
General George F. Shepley, military
commandment md acting mayor of New
Orleans, has voted an order, passed by
both branches of the City Government,
calling an election for city officers on the
first Monday il June. He says in con-
clusion:
at would msnifostly be unfair to hold
an election of this Importance, on SO i'm
perfect registry, even were the quallti-
cations of the electors based upon prin-
ciples sanctioned by the Constitution OF
the United States. But as every voter
has been qualified by an oath inconsls'
tent with that constitution, the impossi.
bilty and impppriety Of any sanction
by the military authorities of such an
election becomes too plain for discussion
am not now prepared to say whether
by an exercise of military power, the
election may be ordered to be conducted
without the formality Of registration, Of
under a new registration made in com
pliance with constitutional principles"
]. Elliott Smith, who went out as quar-
tsrmastcr's sergeant, in the 8th Vernon
regiment, has been detailed by Genera
Butler, to 8uperintend the repairing an(
putting in operation such telegraph line
as may be deemed important to the pub
f lie service.
: Shinplssters will not be tolerated, a
the following, from the Delta of the 3oI
! ult. will show:
F I'VE learn an interview was had yes
= terday morning between Major Geners
Butler and the officers of the Souther
Bank of this city. After a full hearin
a the bank was ordered to pay all thei
# depositors, upon demand, in such none
!, and according to the provisions Of Ger
= eral Order No. 80, recently issued by til
/. Major General, and not in Confedera'
e notes"
= The same journal of the 3lst ulti.n
5 has a warning to the people not to loo
It upon the hand of power, now clothe
n in velvet as one unnerved By weakne!
+ or timidity, for it will be found arme
y with iron, if the people resolve upon the
e own ruin. 1t says to the LouisianiaEs
6 "Let this people, disregarding capit'
II lation, and promises Of good 6ehavit
z and heretofore gentle treatment, procet
K to organize guerilla bands, to anne
d where they cannot hope to conquer,
e murder where they cannot fairly fgt
at Baton Rouge, or elsewhere, and Il
stern and relentless purposes of war wi
= be surely brought to bear upon them
" Justice demands it, the cause demand
, and the blood of those who might ia
would demand it, not in vain. Aga
we say, let there be no mistake abo
this. Let every man, woman and chi
ponder upon this, and let their acts
this regard give proof that they ha'
profted by the caution"
