New Orleans, May 9, 1868.
The .dep!orable state of destitution and
hunger of the mechanics and working ctas-
ses iu this city has been bronght 30 the
lie has yielded to every suggestion made
meshod OF furnishing food to the people Of
Nav Orleans that lie Government desired.
No relief By those officials has yet been af-
forded. This hunger does not pinch the
wealthy and influential, the leaders Of the
rebellion, who heve got up this war, and are
now endeavoring to prosecute Il, without
regard TO the starving poor, the working
msn. his wife and child. Unmiudful Of their
suffering fellow citizens at home, they have
caused or suffered provisions TO be carried
out Of the city for Confederate service

Of war for the rebel armies, and not OF pro-
visions for their poor neighbors. Striking
hands with tho vile, the gambler, the idler,
and the ruf6ian. they have destroyed the
sugar and cotton which might have been
exchanged for food for the industrious and

is left, BY discrediting the very Csrrency
