| Some Of tho New York paper. yect n grea
revival of trade frgm tho Yankee occupation .
New Orleans. We suppose a hundred vessel
| laden with their notions are now on their way Il
that city.
We learn that Gen. Butler Is getting ready TO
tie consumption Of these commodities by try
ing to naturalze the 5hInplasters Of his country
But he ia not as we hear, so successful in thil
as he expected The last thing he can do. We
suppose, is to declare this blOOd-mOney lega
tender, and then enforce it at the point OF the
baYOnet He may adopt another plan, and thai
is attempt to starve the people into compliance
Your hunger has great influence on mental
conclusions, but we suppose that patriot yield
ing little under its influence could not have al
the patriotism extracted from him by It. The
marauders are in foreign country, and the least
they can do gracefully is to take our money fol
what they have to sell.
The Yankee soldiers are not exactly cOntented
in the city Whether they tear surprises, or a
bullet turning q corner; or have constant ap
prehensiOn Of the coming OF a foe which gun
boats cannot protect them frOm-wa mean the
yellow fever-is not known; but gentlemen
iate from New Orleans inform us thai there are
conspicuous evidences ia the manners and faces
of these foreigners, which imply great disqui-
etude and anxiety
OF the condition Of the city as to food, We
have 10 account Having the channels OF sup
ply in some measure at his command, we sup
pose that Butler will not s.arve our people into
love for the glorious Union He can't make
the South Yankee dependency by thai pro-
cess. Well warrant him that much
But it is evident from what we hear that the
chain on the peoples necks is being drawn
little tighter from day to day. The enemy has
been disappointed by that exhibition of patriot
ism displayed in the destruction of cotton, sugar,
etc, and as the news comes from the river above
of similar destruction, he is vexed and an
gered. He finds no sentiment among the real
bone and sinew of the city which gives him
comfort in respect of the Union tendencies"
If he make a few timid men reluctantly scqui-
esee in his prescriptions, he has sense enough to
see that that is not what be expected.
In short, he finds very little comfort in the
condition OF affairs, and if the people hold out
for short time, he will be as anxious
to evacuate the city as he was to get possession
OF it. The city cannot be long held, if the peO
pie exhibit an aversion 10 the enemy and as for
the Yankee ships now on then way thitheI, we
trust that they will have 40 more customers for
their cargoes than can be found among the in
vaders.
We learn that Butler--to give old scratch his
iue--respects the purpose of the -four which has
been conveyed from Mobile to New Orleans 1t
vas being distributed 10 poor families of our
1wn people, and was giving great deal of relief
% then. No pound of it, as we hear, has
oeen appropriated for any Other purpose.
The enemy had pat an armed force IN Houms,
he capital of TeIre Bonns Parish; Baton Rouge
: occupied in the same way. and the OpelCusas
abroad is IN full possession OF Butler
