Her husband was also brought before
Central Butler, AT headquarters Mrs
Larue behaved in the most defiant man
ner, making mouths and scowling at the
General in anintense style. He told her
that that kind of thing would not affect
him in the least, and that if she bit her
lip till the blood run il wouldn't trouble
him. She then turned her head as far
away from him as she could, with the
most superb expression of scOrn on her
face, and occasionally uttered treasona-
BILE language and threatened General But
Ter. She was particularly anxious that
he should remember that Beauregsrd
would hear of her martyrdOm. Her hus
band stated that he had repeated warn
ed her against expressions Of hatred to-
wards United States officers and soldiers.

! to Ship Island. Larue begged to be al
lowed TO go in her place, but General
