AGairr in New OrIenns.

A late letter from New OLeans gives lho fol-
lowing int resting account of the condition OF
affairs in that city;
Gen. Butler is still in New Orleans at the St.
Charles Hotel. He visits the custom house'once
q day under a guard of one hundred men. At
present he has increased his army around the st.
Charles to one thousand men. Occasionally he
takes a pleasure trip to Dan. He Ick's hotel
at the lake, out on the magnificent shell road.
He is so badly scared al the results recently TAX
en- place in the city, that he will not permit Com
modOre FarTsgut to leave even with his feet of
seven vessels, who is extremely anxious to visit
Red river, and other important points on the
way while the river is high; and hong com
municatiOn has recently passed between them on
the subject General Butler demanded Commo-
dore Fauagut to remain, because the navy took
the city, and lis services were required there.
Commodore Fsrragut replied that the army was
in possession of the city, and should hold it. Tie
did not think his services were required and that
he should be permitted to proceed up the liver
on other duty.
We would ike to see them pitch into each
other, If Commodore Farragut will 60 up the
river, we doubt if Butler will hold the city for
foIty-eight hours, judging from the present state
of things. The Confederate regiment, which
disbsnded, have their arms slowed away secure
ly, and about three thousand of our best Louisi-
ana boys have returned to the city and joined
our getting up" which will give us eight
thousand men TO DO what I don't think | ought
to 'ell you at present Gen. Butler has recently
stationed at Dan Ii=icOch's Hotel, five hun
dTed men, to pro.ect him at that place, while he
enjoys other peop es luxmies. On last Tues
day two Jui.ed States army officers and one
United States navy officer, hired carriage and
visited this hotel; the driver was boy Is years
sE1 4 A. + ~ .
lie picked up a friend Of his Oh his carriage and
returned to the city between II and ] o'clock
at night, bat nothing has been heard of the off
GERS since.
No doubt you have heard Of Buffers procla-
nation concerning our ladies', and l guess he
regrets it very much. Our ladies now wear a
neat little secession flag sewed on their bOsoms,
and they plainly show e revolver in the right
side Of tbeir belt and small dirk in the left,
and in many cases they are seen turning up
their noses, with peculiar pout, and an insig-
n-fcsnt shake Of the head" you nasty Yankee,
you" and pass on. | am happy to say that the
ladies in this city have taken bold and decided
stand. No United States officer, or soldier is
permitted to ride in the cars if two or three New
Orleans ladies' are in it. Mr.. Lawson, the pro-
pTietor, has published a card with regard to this
matter, and on the following day two United
States officers go! into cab on the Central
sueet line Two secession ladies were in the
car at the time; they pitched into the driver
with fists doubled for permitting them to enter,
and after driving him from the cars, turned to
the officers and said " Sirs, these cars were not
made for Yankees to ride in, so get up and get
out" The officers left and without saying one
word
At present the sickness among Gen Buffers
troops is very bad. The flux, typhoid fever, aud
smallpox is doing good work among them.
Nineteen Of bis men deserted within the last
tH weeks; and as desertion has commenced,
we expect to hear of more. 1t is impossible for
ihem TO stand the heat; United States surgeon
reports that from six to ten die daily from sun
stroke The firm of Henderson d Gaines, D.
McCann & Co, (foundry) Leeds & Co., (loun-
dryl and several others l could name, were each
fined one hundred dollars for not reporting to
Butler their business, etc Messrs. Leeds & Co,
were imprisoned on the feet for not repairing
the machinery Of the war steamers; which was
badly treated in the late fight. The mint, Gus
tom house, st. Charles medical college, school
Of medicine and orphan house, are all used as
places ofrendezvous for his army and navy. Eng
lish and French flags ara still flying over resi-
deuces, a few of other nations are seen.
