FROM NEW ORLEANS.

\ lady from New Orleans makes statements
which confirm other accounts, and the tenor of
Buffers orders, to the effect that the conquerors
are making the unhappy citizens feel the iron
heel of their power. Every day the military sur
veillance becomes more rigid, and the regulations
more stringent. Butler, as the most infamous of
his orders indicates, is levyn@ fierce warfare upon
the ladies They griovously offended his Yankee
| hlShncSs by wearing as trimmings of their bon
nets, &c, semblances of the Confederate flag, and
the Southern colors, red and white. Picayune
ordered them to indulge no more in such demon
STATIONS OF rebellious sentiments under penalty
of condign punishment. How many obeyed and
how many punished our informant does not
set forth. But she does state that Mrs j b.

now In close confinement, because she refused to
remove the little flag which formed part Of the
trimming Of her bonnet. 1t is thus that the
Valorous Plcayune ayenges SO much Of the rout at
Bull Run as was due to the well served guns Of
the Washington Artillery. Persons were being
arrested and consigned to dungeons at the within
Of the Yankee dcspot.
Our intelligence from the above mentioned
source Is to the effect that fifty thousand men had
been landed in the city, and were now quartcred
within and about it, and garrisonng the works of
the coast, lakes and rivers. great deal Of sick
ness, and of a very fatal type, was prevailing
among the unacclimated Yankees of New Eng
land, and seventy dead invaders were carried out
from one hospital and buried during a single NIGHT
Large numbers Of buildings are being converted
into hospitals for the accommodation of the great
number of sick rascals, who, if they do not die
from actual disease, probably DO from fear, their
imaginations being tormentcd with terrible visions
Of Yellow Jack. IF all signs do not fail, they
have every reason to be worse frightened than
